In our effort to keep all producers and interested members informed concerning the “Three Species” and the new amendment, EWA’s lobbyist forwarded the following from Congressman Carter’s office and the USFWS..
I wanted to follow up with you regarding your question about the antelope amendment. We need to go through the process to get it published in the Federal Register, but our intent is to comply with the law and have it done within 60 days. We’ve already been discussing with the Solicitor’s Office to get moving on it. We have also been discussing having it go into effect immediately upon publication.
We’ll keep tracking the progress on this. The sooner this is in the books the better!
