AI Summary
This bill provides the force and effect of law for certain regulations that allow for the taking of double-crested cormorants, which are birds that eat fish at aquaculture facilities. Specifically, the bill states that section 21.47 of title 50 in the Code of Federal Regulations, as it existed on the date of the bill's enactment, shall have the force and effect of law. This authority is temporary, lasting either until the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service promulgates a new regulation to control depredation of double-crested cormorants or one year after the bill's enactment, whichever is earlier. The bill does not limit the Director's authority to promulgate other regulations related to the taking of double-crested cormorants under any other law.
