Changes in the List of Species in Appendices to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora
AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES or Convention) regulates international trade in certain animals and plants. Species or other taxa for which such trade is controlled are listed in Appendices I, II, and III to CITES. The countries participating in this treaty, including the United States, adopted amendments to Appendices I and II at the tenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP10) in June, 1997. The United States did not enter a reservation against any of the adopted amendments. This document incorporates all these amendments into the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (Service) informational list of CITES species. It also incorporates a small number of additional changes to the list of CITES-protected animal and plant taxa (50 CFR 23.23) unrelated to decisions of the Parties at COP10 and serving only to clarify taxonomy, common names, or geographic ranges of animal and plant taxa and populations already listed. None of these additional changes affects the biological entity listed by the CITES parties.
DATES: This rule is effective November 12, 1998. With the exception of the new listings of sturgeon species at COP10 (which had the effective date of April 1, 1998), the amendments set forth in this rule entered into effect on September 18, 1997, under the terms of CITES.
ADDRESSES: Please send correspondence concerning this document to Chief, Office of Scientific Authority; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; 4401 North Fairfax Drive, room 750; Arlington, Virginia, 22203; fax 703-358-2276. Materials received will be available for public inspection by appointment, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday at the above address in Arlington, Virginia.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
CITES regulates import, export, re-export, and introduction from the sea of certain animal and plant species. Species for which the trade is controlled are included in three Appendices. Appendix I includes species threatened with extinction that are or may be affected by trade. Appendix II includes species that, although not necessarily now threatened with extinction, may become so unless trade in them is strictly controlled. It also lists species that must be subject to regulation in order that trade in other currently or potentially threatened species may be brought under effective control (e.g., because of difficulty in distinguishing specimens of currently or potentially threatened species from those of other species). Appendix III includes species that any Party identifies as being subject to regulation within its jurisdiction for purposes of preventing or restricting exploitation, and for which it needs the cooperation of other Parties to control trade.
Any CITES Party may propose amendments to Appendices I and II for consideration either at meetings of the Conference of the Parties held about every 2\1/2\ years or, occasionally, by a postal vote process. The text of proposals must be communicated to the CITES Secretariat at least 150 days before such a meeting. The Secretariat must then consult the other Parties and appropriate intergovernmental agencies, and communicate responses to all Parties no later than 30 days before the meeting. Amendments are adopted by consensus or a two-thirds majority of the Parties present and voting.
Actions of the Parties
The tenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to CITES was held June 9-20, 1997, in Harare, Zimbabwe. Decisions of the Parties on 62 different animal proposals and 13 different plant proposals to amend the Appendices I and II were reported in the proposed rule published in the Federal Register on August 22, 1997 (62 FR 44627).
The August 22, 1997, proposed rule (62 FR 44627) requested comments from the public on whether the United States should enter reservations against any of the listing amendments. If the United States were to enter a reservation, it would be treated as a country not party to CITES with respect to trade in that particular species. However, because of the requirements of other Parties, the U.S. Lacey Act Amendments of 1981, and relevant CITES resolutions, the effect of a reservation would be limited. More comprehensive discussions of any practical effects of entering a reservation and reasons for or against entering reservations can be found in the November 8, 1994 and January 3, 1995 Federal Register notices (59 FR 55617 and 60 FR 73, respectively).
Related Considerations
During the public comment period pursuant to the proposed rule of August 22, 1997, only one organization submitted comments. The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) submitted comments on a number of issues. The HSUS opposed the taking of reservations by the United States; the Service concurs, and has recommended no reservations. Regarding the alligator snapping turtle, the HSUS noted that endemism is not a reason to not list a species in the CITES Appendices. The Service agrees, and notes that whether or not a species qualifies for inclusion in Appendix II under the CITES listing criteria (Resolution Conf. 9.24) is independent of its degree of endemism. The Service will continue to monitor the status of and trade in this species, and work with the states where the species is native in order to reach the best possible conservation solution for the species. The HSUS requested that the United States include the species in Appendix III; that option is currently being explored. If the Service decides to recommend such a listing in Appendix III, a notice will be published in the Federal Register inviting public comments. The HSUS also discussed the annotated transfer of certain African elephant populations to Appendix II, noting that live elephants may not be imported for commercial purposes. The HSUS is incorrect, in that live elephants from Namibia only are restricted to non-commercial purposes; those from Zimbabwe and Botswana can be imported for any purpose. Since these populations are in Appendix II, no U.S. import permit is required under CITES, and the decision on commerciality and suitability of destinations will be made by the exporting country. However, if any of the three countries affected consult the United States prior to issuance of an export permit, the Service will respond to any inquiry about any proposed facility. The HSUS recommended that the Service discuss other aspects of the annotated downlisting of the African elephant populations with members of the Standing Committee. The Service continues to discuss aspects of the downlisting, and practical implementation concerns, with many different governments, including those on the Standing Committee. The HSUS also requested that the United States include map turtles and bigleaf mahogany in CITES Appendix II. The Service is currently reviewing which proposals it may submit for consideration at CITES COP11, and published a notice of information requesting public comments in the Federal Register on January 30, 1998 (63 FR 4613).
Procedural Requirements
This Federal Register notice amends the informational list of CITES species in 50 CFR 23.23 to accurately reflect the changes in the list of species in the CITES appendices that have already been made by the Conference of the Parties at their tenth meeting, and that the United States is bound to accept unless it entered reservations. The Service does not believe that implementation of any of these adopted amendments would be contrary to the interests or laws of the United States. The period of time during which the United States could have entered a reservation against any of the amendments ended on September 18, 1997. The Service did not recommend the entry of any reservations, and none were taken by the United States. Therefore, except for the newly adopted sturgeon listings having an effective date of April 1, 1998, these amendments to the CITES Appendices have been in effect for the United States since September 18, 1997.
This notice brings the information in 50 CFR 23.23 into agreement with the current species listings in the CITES appendices. Earlier Federal Register notices informed the public about these amendments and provided opportunity for comment on them, including announced public meetings. Since these CITES amendments became effective on September 18, 1997, and April 1, 1998, this amendment to 50 CFR Part 23 is effective upon its date of publication.
In addition to reflecting the amendments to the Appendices adopted at COP10, this notice also incorporates certain other minor changes into the list of CITES-protected animal and plant taxa (50 CFR 23.23) unrelated to decisions of the Parties at COP10 and serves only to clarify taxonomy, common names, or geographic ranges of animal and plant taxa and populations already listed. None of these additional changes affects the biological entity listed by the CITES parties. In the amendatory section below, all entries in the current CFR list that will be either modified or deleted by this rule are treated as deletions and presented in a list of deletions. This is followed by a list of additions, which includes not
[[Page 63212]]
only new taxa or populations resulting from amendments adopted at COP10, but also all modifications of current CFR listings.
Note: The Department has determined that amendments to CITES Appendices, which result from actions of the CITES Parties, do not require the preparation of Environmental Assessments as defined under the authority of the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321-4347). These amendments are simply notifications of actions taken by the CITES Parties and therefore, this notice does not constitute a ``rule'' for purposes of the Administrative Procedures Act (5 U.S.C. 551(4)). Accordingly, the provisions of Executive Order 12866, the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601) and the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 do not apply. The adjustments to the list in 50 CFR 23.23 presented below are solely informational to provide the public with accurate data on the species covered by CITES. All non-sturgeon listings adopted by the Parties took effect on September 18, 1997, under the terms of CITES. The sturgeon listings took effect April 1, 1998. This rule does not contain information collection requirements that require approval by the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
This document was prepared by Marshall Howe and Timothy Van Norman, Office of Scientific Authority, under the authority of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq. and 87 Stat. 884, as amended).
