                including the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956 (16 U.S.C. 742a), the
                Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701), the

                Council provides recommendations and advice regarding wildlife and
                habitat conservation endeavors that (1) benefit wildlife resources; (2)

                organizations, and Federal, state, tribal, and territorial governments;
                and (3) benefit recreational hunting and recreational shooting sports.
