The purpose of this proposed rule is to prohibit the take of peregrine falcons for falconry unless it is authorized by permit from the FWC and is consistent with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Final Environmental Assessment and Management Plan for Peregrine Falcons. The effect is to limit the number of peregrine falcons that can be taken for use in falconry to that determined by the USFWS to be consistent with effective conservation of the species and the annual allocation of birds made available to the State of Florida.
