The relationship of military readiness activities of the Department
of Defense (DOD) to the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and to the
Endangered Species Act (ESA) was the subject of legislative
proposals in the 107th Congress and again in the 108th. P.L.
107-314 was silent as to ESA issues, but does contain MBTA
provisions. Section 315 of that act directs that regulations be
developed to exempt the Armed Forces from MBTA penalties for the
incidental taking of migratory birds during military readiness
activities. Until such regulations are finalized, 315 provides that
the prohibitions of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act do not apply to
the incidental taking of migratory birds by a member of the Armed
Forces during military readiness activities, but the Secretary of
Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of the Interior, is to
minimize and mitigate, to the extent practicable, adverse impacts
of the readiness activities on affected migratory birds. Proposed
regulations were published on June 2, 2004 that would exempt DOD
military readiness activities and those of the Coast Guard in the
Department of Homeland Security from MBTA penalties, but this
authorization can be withdrawn or suspended under certain
circumstances.
