The additional pennitting requirements resulting from the WBCA clearly add another 

 level of complication to a system that already does not work well. The cost in time, money, and 

 frustration for both the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the applicant are significant and 

 without justification. More importantly, the WBCA, as it is currently being implemented, 

 represents a negative impact upon the very resource that we are both trying to conserve. 



Once again we request that all Falconiformes be excluded from the provisions of the 

 WBCA as has already been provided for ten other families. 



Thank you for our consideration. 



Sincerely yours.
