In lieu of a subpermit, in the U.S. only, a "letter of authorization"
may be issued, by State or Federal conservation agencies with master station
banding permits, to their personnel or cooperators. The "responsible individual"
for a State or Federal master-station permit may use this letter to cover competent
persons needed for assistance in the organization's banding program. However,
this letter may be used for bait-trapping of Waterfowl and Doves only. You need
to request a subpermit for those banding non-game, using rocket/cannon nets
or mist nets. Click here for more
information.
These letters also do not cover work involving the banding of species appearing
on the Department of the Interior's list of threatened/endangered species. For
