Republican Oregon Second District Congressman Cliff Bentz is criticizing the decision by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service to delay implementation of a Trump Administration critical habitat rule for the Northern Spotted Owl.  The rule lifted critical-habitat protections for the bird from 3.4 million acres in Oregon, Washington and California.  The Agency noted that it ultimately intends to revise or withdraw the January 2021 final rule.  Bentz believes revision or withdrawal of the rule would stop efforts to prevent catastrophic wildfires.
