24.6—Cooperative agreements.
(a)
By reason of the Congressional policy (e.g., Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1956) of State-Federal cooperation and coordination in the area of fish and wildlife conservation, State and Federal agencies have implemented cooperative agreements for a variety of fish and wildlife programs on Federal lands. This practice shall be continued and encouraged. Appropriate topics for such cooperative agreements include but are not limited to:
(3)
Research and other field study programs including those involving the taking or possession of fish and wildlife;
(11)
Joint processing of State and Federal permit applications for activities involving fish, wildlife and plants;
(14)
Disposition of fish and wildlife taken in conjunction with the activities listed in this paragraph.
(b)
The cooperating parties shall periodically review such cooperative agreements and adjust them to reflect changed circumstances.
