Abstract: Pub.L. 109-266 passed in August 2006 requires that the Secretary of the Interior conduct a 3-year pilot program under which up to 15 qualified States may issue electronic Federal Duck Stamps. The application process will lead to the selection of participants for this program.

Emergency Justfication: The Electronic Duck Stamp Act (Act) requires that the Secretary of the Interior conduct a 3-year pilot program under which up to 15 States may issue electronic Federal Duck Stamps. Upon passage of the Act in 2006, the Fish and Wildlife Service formed a workgroup consisting of Service members, members of the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, and the fulfillment contractor. This workgroup developed the application process, monitoring procedures, and evaluation criteria for the pilot program. Timing of the application process is dictated by the requirements of the law. The Act requires that the pilot program begin on September 1, 2007. The Act also requires that we publish a notice 30 days prior to accepting applications providing: (1) deadlines for submission of applications, (2) eligibility requirements for participation, and (3) criteria for selection. Since we must notify accepted States no later than July 1, 2007, so they can make and test system modifications, we need to receive applications no later than June 1.
