Title: Migratory Bird Permits; Extension of Double-Crested Cormorant Depredation Orders
Abstract: We are extending two existing double-crested cormorant depredation orders: The aquaculture depredation order (50 CFR 21.47) authorizes take of double-crested cormorants at commercial freshwater fish farms in 13 States, and the public resource depredation order (50 CFR 21.48) authorizes States, Wildlife Services (U.S. Department of Agriculture), and Tribes to take double-crested cormorants to reduce adverse impacts to fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats in 24 States. Both these regulations will expired on April 30, 2009. Due to a continuing need to allow management of this abundant species, we wish to extend both of these orders by 5 years.
