Failure to submit a report as required by this section will be sufficient cause for revocation of the permit or withdrawal of any privilege accorded any person failing to make the report. § 1.10 Continuance of existing permits. All permits heretofore made or issued pursuant to this subchapter and now in force author- izing the killing or other disposition of certain species of migratory birds when injurious to crops and other property and interests and the taking, possession, sale, purchase, exchange, or transportation of migratory birds and their nests and eggs for scientific purposes, and migratory waterfowl and their eggs for propagating purposes, are hereby continued and extended in full force and effect as permits adopted and approved, made, or issued under this part. § 1.11 Additional protection of migratory game birds during open season. Whenever, by reason of a rapid decrease in the distribution and abundance of any species of migratory game birds during any open season specified in § 1.4 or pursuant to § 1.9 of this part, the shortening of such season or the reduction of the daily bag and pos- session limits will operate to insure a continuing and normal supply of such species, then, in that event, the applicable season or the daily bag and possession limits of such species shall be shortened or reduced to the extent determined necessary to insure such continuing and normal supply. The facts as to the decrease in distribution and abundance of any species of migratory game birds requiring a shortening of season or reductions of daily bag and possession limits shall be determined by the Secretary, and in accordance therewith he shall issue applicable orders which shall become effective when published in the Federal Register. § 1.12 State laws for the protection of migratory birds. Nothing in this part or in any permit issued thereunder shall be construed to permit the taking, possession, sale, purchase, or transportation of migratory birds, or parts, nests, or eggs thereof contrary to the laws andl regulations of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, made for the purpose of giving further protection to migratory birds, their nests, and eggs, when such laws and regulations are not incon- sistent with the conventions between the United States and any other country for the protection of migratory birds or with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and do not extend the open seasons for such birds beyond the dates prescribed by this part.
