WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT A FEDERAL

PERMIT FOR EAGLE NEST REMOVAL

A Federal permit for take of an eagle nest authorizes take (removal and/or relocation) of a bald or golden
eagle nest to protect human safety or eagles, and under other limited circumstances. You should review
Title 50 Parts 10, 13, and 22.27 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). You are responsible for
reviewing and understanding these regulations before you request and accept a permit. These
regulations can be found on our website at http://www.fws.gov/permits/ltr/ltr.html. Below are questions
and answers regarding eagle nest take permits.

1. Under what circumstances may an eagle nest be removed?

This permit may be used to authorize the removal of a bald or golden eagle nest where the removal is: (a)
necessary to alleviate a safety emergency to people or eagles; (b) necessary to ensure public health and
safety; (c) the nest prevents the use of a pre-existing human-engineered structure; or (d) the activity or
mitigation for the activity will provide a net benefit to eagles. Only inactive nests may be taken, except in
the case of safety emergencies. Inactive nests are defined by the continuous absence of any adult, egg, or
dependent young at the nest for at least 10 consecutive days leading up to the time of take.

2. If one of the four situations described above applies, will the Service automatically issue a nest
removal permit?
No. Other criteria also must be met, including the following: the removal must be compatible with the
preservation of bald and golden eagles; there is no practicable alternative to removing the nest; and for
take that is not necessary to alleviate an immediate threat to human safety or eagles, we additionally must
find that suitable nesting and foraging habitat is available to the area nesting population of eagles to
accommodate any eagles displaced by the nest removal.

3. Does the permit allow people to take nests that have eggs or nestlings in them?
The only situation in which the permit may authorize removal of an active nest is in the case of a safety
emergency, meaning a situation that necessitates immediate action to alleviate a threat of bodily harm to
humans or eagles. Otherwise, only inactive nests may be removed with this permit. For purposes of this
permit, an inactive nest is “a bald eagle or golden eagle nest that is not currently being used by eagles as
determined by the continuing absence of any adult, egg, or dependent young at the nest for at least 10
consecutive days immediately prior to, and including, at present.”

4. If an emergency necessitates the removal of a nest with eggs or dependent young, what should the
permittee do about the eggs or young eagles?
Emergency nest-take permits may authorize the take of eggs or young if they are present. Any take of
nestlings or eggs must be conducted by a Service-approved, qualified, and permitted agent, and all
nestlings and viable eggs must be immediately transported to foster/recipient nests or a rehabilitation
facility permitted to care for eagles, as directed by the Service.

5. Can a permittee keep an eagle nest taken under this permit?

No. A separate permit is required to possess an eagle nest and it can be issued only to specific types of
organizations. The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C 668—668d) allows only public
museums, public scientific societies, and public zoological parks to obtain permits to possess eagle nests
for scientific or educational purposes.

2/20/2014
6. Are post-activity monitoring and reporting required?
Permittees may be required to monitor the area and report whether eagles attempt to build or occupy
another nest at another site in the vicinity for the duration specified in the permit. Permittees must submit
a report to the Regional Migratory Bird Permit Office within 30 days after the permitted nest removal
(except for programmatic permittees who must report each nest removal within 10 days after the take and
submit an annual report by January 31 of the calendar year). The report must include all the information
required by Service Form 3-202-16.

7. What is a programmatic permit and when is it required?

Programmatic take is generally defined as take that is recurring and not in a specific, identifiable time
frame and/or location. The specific regulatory definition is “take that (a) is recurring, but not caused
solely by indirect effects, and (b) occurs over the long term and/or in a location or locations that cannot be
specifically identified.”

Programmatic take permits may be issued to entities, such as electric utilities or airports that cannot
entirely avoid the need to remove eagle nests during the course of their routine operations. In order to
qualify for programmatic permits, applicants must work with the Service to develop and implement
additional, exceptionally comprehensive measures (“advanced conservation practices” or “ACPs”) to
reduce take to the level where any remaining take is essentially unavoidable.

8. Will mitigation measures be required?

All permittees will be required to avoid and minimize the potential for take to the degree practicable, and
for programmatic permits, to the point where take is unavoidable. Where feasible, if suitable conditions
are present, the permittee may be required to relocate the nest, construct an alternate nest, or improve
conditions at alternate nest sites in the territory. Compensatory mitigation may be appropriate depending
on the biological value of the nest and the type of circumstances necessitating its removal. In general,
little or no compensatory mitigation will be required for emergency nest-take if the permittee could not
foresee or prevent the eagles from nesting.

9. How long does it take to get a permit to remove an eagle nest?

The time needed by the Service to process a permit application depends on the complexity and scope of
the activity and associated take, whether tribal consultation is warranted, what additional environmental
analyses may be required, and other factors. In general, applicants may expect the following approximate
permit processing times from the time we receive a complete application:

Emergency nest-take permit 2 to 5 days

Standard permit 90 days
Standard or programmatic permit requiring an environmental assessment 4 to 6 months
Standard or programmatic permit with EIS 18 to 24 months

10. Do I need additional authorization to take eagles from my State or tribal government?
State, tribal and local governments may have their own regulations protecting eagles and eagle nests.
Your federal permit is not valid unless you obtain and comply with all permits, licenses, or other
authorizations required by these jurisdictions that apply your activity with respect to eagles.

11. How do I renew my permit?

Except for programmatic permits, this type of permit should not typically be subject to renewal
considerations, because, in general, standard permits issued under these regulations authorize take of a
specific nest in an identifiable time-frame. However, a renewal letter or form and annual report form will
be sent to you at least 60 days prior to the expiration of your permit (partially as a reminder that your

Fact Sheet Page 2 of 3 3-200-72

2/20/2014
permit is due to expire). If you wish to renew your permit, you must return the completed renewal to your
Regional Migratory Bird Permit Office at least 30 days prior to the expiration of your permit and include
copies of any other permits required by your State, tribe, or other jurisdiction. If we receive your renewal
request at least 30 days prior to the expiration of your permit, your permit will remain valid beyond the
expiration date for the activity authorized on your permit until a decision on your renewal is made. If we
receive your renewal request fewer than 30 days prior to expiration of your permit and we are unable to
process your request before the expiration date, your permit will expire and you will no longer be covered
for your activity. If you allow your permit to expire before requesting renewal, you may be required to
submit a new application. (See 50 CFR 13.22 and 13.11(c)).

 SECTION E. Eagle Nest Take
(Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, 50 CFR 22.27)

Note: A Federal eagle nest take permit authorizes the removal of bald eagle or golden eagle nests for human safety, the safety of
eagles, or the public’s welfare. Permits are available to individuals, agencies, businesses, and other organizations. This permit
does not authorize possession of any eagle or eagle parts including nests or the lethal take of any eagle eggs. Please read “What
You Should Know About a Federal Permit for Eagle Nest Removal” and the regulations at 50 CFR 21.27 before you sign and
submit your application.

Please provide the information requested below on a separate sheet of paper with your responses numbered according to the application
questions. You should be as thorough and specific as possible in your responses. Incomplete applications will be returned, delayed
or abandoned. Processing time depends on the complexity of the request and completeness of the application.

Although you may submit supplemental documents that contain the required information, you must respond to each application
requirement below specifically in a single attachment that includes all and only the information required by the application.
Enumerate each response in accordance with the question numbers below. Please do not send pages that are over 8.5” x 11” or
DVDs.

1. Provide the name and contact information for any U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service employee(s) who has provided technical
assistance or worked with you on this project.

2. Describe the situation that necessitates removal of the eagle nest(s), including:
(a) The number of nests proposed to be taken
(b) Whether the nest is a bald eagle or golden eagle nest
(c) Whether the nest is active or inactive and how this was determined. (An active nest may only be taken to alleviate an
immediate safety emergency. A “safety emergency” means “a situation that necessitates immediate action to alleviate a
threat of bodily harm to humans or eagles.” An inactive nest is one that is not currently used by eagles as determined by the
absence of any adult, egg, or dependent young at the nest during the 10 days before the nest is taken.)
(d) When you propose to take the nest

3. State whether the nest take necessary to alleviate a safety emergency.

(a) If it is, provide the following:
(1) Describe the safety emergency and why the situation was not foreseeable
(2) Explain why removal of the nest is necessary to alleviate it

(b) If it is not, provide the following:

(1) Explain why removal of the nest(s) is necessary)
(2) A calculation of the bald eagle or golden eagle area nesting population, including an appropriately scaled map or plat
showing the location of each eagle nest used to calculate the area nesting population unless the Service has sufficient
data to independently calculate the area nesting population
(3) A description of the avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures you have used to reduce the need to take the
nest, to offset the take, or in some situations (see 50 CFR 22.27(b)(7)) to provide a net benefit to eagles

4. If the nest is built on a human-engineered structure, provide the following:

(a) a detailed description of the structure and how the nest renders the structure inoperable for its intended use
(b) maps, digital photographs and detailed description of the situation

5. Provide a description of the property, including maps and digital photographs that show the location of the nest in relation to

9. When an active nest must be removed under this permit, any take of nestlings or eggs must be conducted by a Service-approved,
qualified, and permitted agent, and all nestlings and viable eggs must be immediately transported to foster/recipient nests or a
rehabilitation facility permitted to care for eagles, as directed by the Service. Provide a statement outlining how the eagle’s nest
will be removed, indicating the intended disposition of the nest, and if active, a description of how the nestlings or eggs will be
removed, including the recipient nest(s) or federally permitted rehabilitation facility that is authorized for the possession of live
eagle(s) or eggs, and/or eagle nest(s).

10. If the nest will be removed or relocated (rather than destroyed in the course of an activity), provide the name, address, phone
number, and e-mail address of the qualified party conducting the removal and/or relocation.

11. You must retain records relating to the activities conducted under your permit for at least 5 years from the date of expiration of

If you have applied for any required approvals, answer “Have applied” and send copy when issued.
If no State or Tribal permits or approvals are required, answer “None required.”

13. Disqualification factor. A conviction, or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, for a felony violation of the Lacey Act, the
Migratory Bird Treaty Act, or the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act disqualifies any such person from receiving or
exercising the privileges of a permit, unless such disqualification has been expressly waived by the Service Director in response
to a written petition. (50 CFR 13.21(c))

Have you or any of the owners of the business, if applying as a business, been convicted, or entered a plea of guilty or nolo
contendere, forfeited collateral, or are currently under charges for any violations of the laws mentioned above? Indicate “Yes” or
“No.” If you answered “Yes” provide: a) the individual’s name, b) date of charge, c) charge(s), d) location of incident, e) court,
and f) action taken for each violation.
