Title: Migratory Bird Permits; Revisions to Banding or Marking Permits 
Abstract:

We are revising our migratory bird banding and marking regulations to: (1) Reflect the transfer of authority for the Federal bird banding and marking permit program to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS); (2) define the qualification guidelines for different levels of banding and marking authorization; and (3) address changes in banding and marking technology. Although these are FWS regulations, the permits are administered by the USGS Bird Banding Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland; therefore, FWS and USGS are developing the regulatory revisions cooperatively.
