In the fall of 2005, the Directors of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) determined that to ensure that the Bird Banding Laboratory (BBL) of the USGS maintains and continues its important support of conservation and management of birds, it should be guided by a clear vision for the future. In order to carry out this task, they impaneled a fourteen-member Federal Advisory Committee (FAC) on the Bird Banding Laboratory. It was made up of representatives of the broad bird-banding community, public and private, and was cochaired by a senior representative from each agency. The Committee met four times and a writing subgroup met three times over the course of its work. The Committee identified a new vision and mission for the BBL and identified six goals that it believes should be integral to the development of a strategic plan to achieve them. Those goals are: Facilitate the identification of individual birds through marking. 1. Create automated, electronic systems that efficiently verify, accept, store, and manage data. 2. associated with individually marked birds. Facilitate access to and use of data from marked birds for science, conservation, and management. 3. Administer permits in an efficient, timely, and modern manner, and use them to ensure that bird. 4. welfare and data quality remain top priorities. Work closely with national and international partners to achieve the mission of the BBL. 5. Manage the BBL in an efficient, cost-effective manner to maximize use of available resources. 6. Most of the report is structured around these goals.
