Abstract
We are adding the States of Vermont and West Virginia to the list of States whose falconry laws meet or exceed Federal falconry standards. These States will now be participants in the cooperative Federal/State permit application program, and falconry can now be practiced in those States. The list of States that meet Federal falconry standards, including Vermont and West Virginia, is included in this final rule. This rule also amends the regulations on State compliance to clarify the administrative procedure that States need to follow to comply with Federal falconry standards.
