H.R. 3109
A bill to amend the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to exempt certain
Alaskan Native articles from prohibitions against sale of items containing
nonedible migratory bird parts, and for other purposes
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on July 30, 2014
H.R. 3109 would amend the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to allow Alaskan Natives to make
and sell traditional handicrafts such as masks, jewelry, clothing, and hunting equipment
that are made from parts of migratory birds, particularly feathers. CBO estimates that
implementing the bill would not have a significant effect on the federal budget.
Because enacting the legislation could reduce revenues and associated direct spending
from civil and criminal penalties, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. However, CBO
estimates that any such effects would be negligible.
H.R. 3109 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal
governments.
The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Jeff LaFave. The estimate was approved by
Peter H. Fontaine, Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
