## Abstract

We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, amend the baiting regulations that apply to any person taking migratory game birds in the United States and/or preparing areas where migratory game birds are hunted. We include new definitions for ``baiting,'' ``baited areas,'' ``normal agricultural planting, harvesting, and post-harvest manipulation'', ``normal agricultural operation,'' ``normal soil stabilization practice,'' ``natural vegetation'' and ``manipulation,'' and use these terms to identify allowable hunting methods.
