🦅Migratory Bird Subsistence Harvest Regulations Impact Assessment
Migratory Bird Subsistence Harvest in Alaska
Summary
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), are revising the migratory bird subsistence harvest regulations in Alaska. Subsistence harvest regulations allow for the continuation of customary and traditional subsistence uses of migratory birds in Alaska and establish when and where the harvesting of certain migratory birds may occur within each subsistence region. Subsistence harvest regulations, including the changes set forth in this document, were developed under a co-management process involving the Service, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, and Alaska Native representatives.

The regulation updates harvesting practices affecting indigenous communities in Alaska, which could influence local economic activities and compliance costs for businesses related to wildlife management. The removal of reporting requirements may reduce administrative burdens for small businesses involved in harvesting practices.
