On the recordNovember 13, 2002
That is correct, the regulations must prescribe measures to minimize, mitigate and monitor impacts of military training activities on migratory birds, so that the regulations are consistent with section 3(a) of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The two key changes made by the conferees to the House provisions: (1) require the Department of the Interior to exercise its regulatory authority over DOD activities impacting migratory birds and (2) require appropriate actions to mitigate the impact of DOD actions on migratory birds. The Senate conferees agreed to accept the provision only because of these changes.
