Title: Permits for Incidental Take of Eagles and Eagle Nests, Final Rule 
Abstract:

FWS finalized a rule that expedited and simplified the permit process authorizing incidental take of eagles. The rule revised the regulations authorizing eagle incidental take and eagle nest take permits to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of permitting, facilitate and improve compliance, and increase the conservation benefit for eagles. This rule created general eagle permits for certain activities under prescribed conditions in addition to specific eagle permits authorized under current regulations.
