Kill em if ya find em.  No mention whatsoever in the regs, so i see them as unclassified wildlife, game on.  Page 94 in the regs lists protected wildlife.  No mention of rattlers.

Most of the state/national refuges list them as protected on the refuge. Mcnary complex does for sure. Other than that, have at it. I used to see them at windmill ranch outside basin city pretty regularly.

Related - the highest demographic of people getting bit by rattle snakes is like 20-29 yr old males. Wonder why that is? Haha.
