AI Summary
This bill provides the force and effect of law for certain regulations that allow for the taking of double-crested cormorants (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 in effect on the date of the bill's enactment) shall have the force and effect of law. This authority will terminate either when 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 occurs first. The bill does not limit the Director's authority to promulgate regulations relating to the taking of double-crested cormorants under any other law.
