Removal of Subchapter D; Management of Wildlife Research Areas

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) removes Subchapter D, Management of Wildlife Research Areas from Title 50. Subchapter D (Part 60) provides special regulations for the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center (PWRC). Since the land base of PWRC is managed only by the Service as a part of the National Wildlife Refuge System and all public use must be compatible with the primary purpose of the area, future public use regulations will be published in parts 25-32 of title 50. The regulations regarding fishing, contained in this section prior to this action, have been relocated. The Service has determined that this action is consistent with principles of sound fish and wildlife management, and is otherwise in the public interest.
