SUMMARY: The second meeting of the Advisory Committee on the bird
Banding laboratory (Committee) will take place February 22 ad 23, 2006,
at the national headquarters for Ducks Unlimited, One Waterfowl Way,
Memphis, Tennessee 38120. The meeting, which runs from 8:30 a.m. to

purpose of the Advisory Committee, which is co-chaired by the USGS and
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, is to represent the interests of
the bird banding community, including both game and non-game birds, in
advising the U.S. Department of the Interior, USGS, on current and
future management of the bird Banding Laboratory. The agenda for this
meeting will focus on a Committee review of the results of the work
done since the last meeting by four smaller subgroups. Each subgroup
was charged with developing draft issue statement for one of the
following topics: (1) Bird banding permits; (2) data collection and
storage; (3) data dissemination; and (4) partnerships. Subsequent to
the review discussion, the Committee will finalize statements for each
issue and begin developing recommendations for action.
The meeting is open to all members of the interested public, and
time on the agenda has been reserved at the conclusion of each day's
work for the Committee to receive verbal comments (limited to 5 minutes
per person) from the public. To speak before the Committee, please
