The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service is asking for public input on a proposed rule that defines the scope of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA). Consumer Energy Alliance President, David Holt shared his perspective.

This proposed rule provides needed regulatory certainty for critical energy infrastructure projects that will bring newer, cleaner power to consumers.
