Legal basis for designating the Kittatinny-Shawangunk National Raptor Migration Corridor


Authorization for raptor corridor designation under Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA)

The Raptor Corridor is 250 miles long by about 12-14 miles wide.  Designation would be akin to the recent designation of National Heritage Areas (i.e., as in S2739).  

The specific text from the MBTA that provides authority for the Secretary of Interior to designate the Raptor Corridor is (hightlighted) in the attached document.
