EO 1: Wolf Predation & MCOOL
Combat Predation – Wolf Predation
The Executive Order directs the Department of the Interior to determine whether gray wolves or Mexican wolves meet the criteria for delisting or downlisting under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), and begin the process of delisting or downlisting.
The Department of the Interior and the Department of Agriculture are also directed to update their standards for compensating ranchers for losses due to predators, and to ease authorization for lethal removal when necessary.
Mandatory Country of Origin Labeling “MCOOL”
American consumers deserve clear, honest labels — and country of origin labeling delivers that transparency.
Building on the Product of USA label, this Executive Order directs the Department of Agriculture, in consultation with the United States Trade Representative, to review its authorities related to mandatory country-of-origin labeling for beef products through new regulations and legislative recommendations.
