A Federal Eagle Depredation permit authorizes you to haze or trap bald eagles and/or golden eagles that are depredating or pose a risk to human or eagle health and safety. Depredation includes agricultural damage, private property damage, threats to human or eagle health and safety, and threats to recovery of protected wildlife. An Eagle Depredation permit is intended to provide short-term relief from eagles until long-term, non-lethal measures can be implemented to eliminate or significantly reduce the depredation problem.
Use of this form is not mandatory, but the same information must be submitted, including a signed certification statement. A supplemental sheet is available if needed.
Filing an annual report is a condition of your permit. Failure to file a timely report could result in suspension of your permit. You must submit a report even if you had no activity during the year (Ref.
50 CFR parts 13, 21 & 22).
