Biden administration delays Trump rollback of migratory bird protections

The Biden administration has put a one-month delay on the Trump administration's rollback of protections to migratory birds and is opening the rule back up for public comment.

The Interior Department said Thursday that it would delay the effective date of the rule, which removed penalties for companies that accidentally or incidentally killed migratory birds and was slated to go into effect on Feb. 8.

The department is working to determine what additional steps it can take and the Fish and Wildlife Service will give the public 20 days to comment on the rule to allow for "additional engagement." The Biden administration also expects "further opportunities to engage" on the rule.

Interior Department spokesperson Melissa Schwartz said in a statement Thursday that the Trump administration's action "sought to overturn decades of bipartisan and international precedent in order to protect corporate polluters."
