Comment on FR Doc # E8-18779

I am writing to comment on the Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) you issued in July, 2008 on the proposal to permit take under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (73 FR 47574-77). On the whole, the proposal looks reasonable, and it appears that the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) is taking reasonable steps to address its impacts on both natural and cultural aspects of the environment. I do have a few less positive comments, however, and some suggestions, mostly dealing with controlling impacts on so-called “cultural resources.” These are attached for your consideration. Thank you for the opportunity to comment. Thomas F. King
