ABOUT

The WSFR Branch of Policy completed a series of 12 webinars to introduce the regulatory process for revision of 50 CFR 80 and creation of 50 CFR 75 to State and Regional partners, along with over 90 highly-important issues that will help with efficient and effective administration of Federal financial assistance.  Webinars were held on Wednesdays from June through September of 2015.  Issues addressed ranged from definitions, to coordinating new language with guidance at the Cost Principles, to discussions of highly important, complex matters such as license certification and what kinds of wildlife our Federal funds should support.  An average of over 35 offices with many people called in on a weekly basis to discuss these important issues and the webinars generated some rich discussion.  If, by any chance, we were unable to meet to discuss a topic in which you are particularly interested, please contact me directly and feel free to view recorded webinars on the wiki to listen to the discussions.  Recorded webinars are on the wiki in the WSFR regulation review space.  As always, we welcome input from any and all persons who are interested in this ongoing process, and we will do our best to write regulations that accurately reflect intent of the Acts, give flexibility to States and partners implementing Federal financial assistance, and combine all of our guidance into a logical, readable format.  Please navigate through the links below to see what we've been working on.  Quicklinks to the regulations provide indexed draft language for sections of the rules.  Please contact the Branch of Policy at (703)358-2119 if you would like the draft rule in a consolidated word document instead of this format.  Thanks for your continued interest!
