The purpose of the proposed rule amendments is to revise regulations pertaining to general rules for Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs), rules related to the application and issuance of quota and special-opportunity permits, and specific rules for miscellaneous areas and WMAs in the Southwest, North Central, Northwest, South, and Northeast Regions. The effect of the proposed rule amendments will be to enable the agency to better manage fish and wildlife resources and public recreation on lands in the WMA system. Additionally, the proposed rule amendments also clarify existing rules; removes unnecessary, redundant, or conflicting language; corrects prior mistakes; and makes non-substantive, technical corrections.
