Assessment of Public Comment
The agency received one comment with the suggestion Part 372.7(r), which governs trapping, should list possible permit conditions and reference other trapping regulations that may apply. The agency rejects this suggestion because it has determined the Commissioner has discretion to allow trapping only in very narrow circumstances, thus warranting a case-by-case approach to permit conditions.
