Title: Financial Assistance; Wildlife Restoration, Sport Fish Restoration, Hunter Education and Safety | |
Abstract:
We begin a process of updating the regulations that direct State fish and wildlife agencies on how to receive funds and implement conservation projects under the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act and Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act. Under these Acts, we distribute annual apportionments to States from trust funds derived from excise tax revenues and fuel taxes. We will publish a proposed rule as the beginning of a four-phase rulemaking. This phase will introduce some more difficult topics, such as predator control, for discussion and future resolution and propose changes to definitions and topics such as license certification, real property, program income, matching funds, and program symbols. We will also update for consistency with 2 CFR part 200. We have coordinated with State fish and wildlife agency directors on changes to license certification and worked with a Federal/State team to develop topic resolution and the phased schedule. We will post additional information, when it is available, at https://fawiki.fws.gov/display |
