DOI Issues Solicitor's Opinion That MBTA Prohibits Incidental Take

http://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/doi-issues-solicitor-s-opinion-that-26912/

"DOI's opinion does not affect the ongoing circuit split regarding whether the MBTA prohibits incidental take."

(This is a step in the right, if belated, direction. The article implies it will have no impact on the FWS' current 30-year eagle "take" permits.)
