I. Abstract
The Migratory Bird Treaty Act
(MBTA) (16 U.S.C. 703 et seq.) prohibits
the unauthorized take of migratory birds
and authorizes the Secretary of the
Interior to regulate take of migratory
birds in the United States. Under this
authority, we control the hunting of
migratory game birds through
regulations in 50 CFR part 20. On
January 1, 1991, we banned lead shot for
hunting waterfowl and coots in the
United States. Wildlife managers and
policymakers at all levels are becoming
increasingly concerned about the
