Washington, DC 20548 B-331356 September 11, 2019 The Honorable John Barrasso Chairman The Honorable Tom Carper Ranking Member Committee on Environment and Public Works United States Senate The Honorable RaOl M. Grijalva Chairman The Honorable Rob Bishop Ranking Member Committee on Natural Resources House of Representatives Subject: Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service: Migratory Bird Hunting; Seasons and Bag and Possession Limits for Certain Migratory Game Birds Pursuant to section 801 (a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a major rule promulgated by the Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) entitled Migratory Bird Hunting; Seasons and Bag and Possession Limits for Certain Migratory Game Birds (RIN:1018-BD10). We received the rule on August 28, 2019. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on August 28, 2019, with an effective date of August 28, 2019. 84 Fed. Reg. 45077. The final rule prescribes the hunting seasons, hours, areas, and daily bag and possession limits for migratory game birds. Taking of migratory birds is prohibited unless specifically provided for by annual regulations. This rule permits the taking of designated species during the 2019-20 season. The Congressional Review Act (CRA) requires a 60-day delay in the effective date of a major rule from the date of publication in the Federal Register or receipt of the rule by Congress, whichever is later. 5 U.S.C. § 801(a)(3)(A). However, any rule that establishes, modifies, closes, or conducts a regulatory program for commercial, recreational, or subsistence activity relating to hunting, fishing, or camping is exempt from the 60-day delay requirement. 5 U.S.C. § 808(1). This rule relates to hunting and, therefore, is exempt from the 60-day delay requirement.
