50 CFR Part 23
RIN 1018-AC31
Changes in 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 the Convention) regulates international
trade in certain animals and plants. Species for which such trade is
controlled are listed in Appendices I, II, and III to the Convention.
The countries participating in this treaty, including the United
States, have adopted species amendments to Appendices I and II. The
United States did not enter a reservation on any of these listing
amendments approved at the eighth meeting of the Conference of the
Parties. This document incorporates these amendments into the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service's regulations implementing the Convention.
DATES: The amendments set forth in this rule entered into effect and
became enforceable on June 11, 1992, under the terms of the Convention.
Therefore, this rule is effective August 16, 1994.
ADDRESSES: Please send correspondence concerning this document to
Chief, Office of Scientific Authority; Mail stop: Room 725, Arlington
Square Building; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; 1849 C St., NW.;

and Wildlife Service, at telephone 703-358-1708.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Convention regulates import, export, re-export, and
introduction from the sea of certain animal and plant species. Species
for which trade is controlled are included in three appendices. Their
inclusion in Appendix I or II is by agreement of CITES Party countries.
Appendix I include 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 the
currently or potentially threatened species from the specimens of other
species). Appendix III includes species that any Party country
unilaterally designates as being subject to regulation within its
jurisdiction for purposes of restricting or preventing exploitation,
and for which cooperation of other Parties is needed to control trade.
Any CITES Party may propose amendments to Appendices I and II for
consideration at meetings of the Conference of the Parties. The text of
proposals must be communicated to the CITES Secretariat at least 150
days before 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 eighth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to CITES was
held on March 2-13, 1992, in Kyoto, Japan. At the meeting (COP8), the
Parties considered 81 different proposals to amend the appendices for
animals and 27 different proposals for plants. The 108 proposals were
described in earlier Federal Register notice; and addressed in the
Federal Register on March 4, 1992, for proposals submitted by the
United States (57 FR 7719) and by other Parties (57 FR 7713). the
proposals that were approved by this Conference of the Parties were
announced in a May 13, 1993, Federal Register notice (57 FR 20443);
note this clarifying correction to 57 FR 20445, that the Anthracoceros
spp. (hornbills) also were proposed for addition to Appendix II by the
Netherlands (and approved). As also announced in that May 13, 1992,
notice, some proposals were withdrawn by their proponents or rejected
by the Parties.
That notice (57 FR 20443) requested comments from the public on
whether the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) should recommend
that the United States enter reservations on any of the listing
amendments. The effect of a reservation would be to exempt this country
from completely implementing the Convention for the particular species.
More comprehensive discussions of any practical effects of entering a
reservation and reasons for or against entering reservations are
contained in November 22, 1985, and December 15, 1989, Federal Register
notices (50 FR 48212 and 54 FR 51432, respectively). Changes to the
CITES appendices as a result of the eighth meeting of the Conference of
the Parties that are incorporated into the U.S. Code of Federal
Regulations are printed as the conclusion of this notice.
Related Considerations
Namibia and Zimbabwe proposed to transfer the cheetak (Acinonyx
jubatus) populations of Botswana, Malawi, Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe
from Appendix I to Appendix II, with export quotas. In the March 4,
1992, Federal Register (57 FR 7713), the United States opposed this
amendment, since the Service had not received the proponents'
supporting statement from the CITES Secretariat prior to COP8. The
proposal was redrafted at COP8 as a resolution [see Doc. 8.22 (Rev.)]
retaining the species in Appendix I and establishing the following
quotas (for trophies and skins: 2 per person): Botswana, 5; Namibia,
100; and Zimbabwe, 50. However, such a resolution was deemed to be
unnecessary, and the quotas have been reflected in the Secretariat's
annotations to the appendices.
The original proposal to transfer the sub-Saharana population of
leopards (Panthera pardus) from Appendix I to appendix II, with export
quotas, was redrafted as a revision of resolution Conf. 7.7, with the
quotas (for trophies and skins: 2 per person) increased for Malawi (50)
and South Africa (75), and initiated (new quota) for Namibia (100). the
Service supports the continuation of this quota system for leopard
trophies and skins for personal use as previously provided for in
resolution Conf. 7.7 and now in Conf. 8.10.
Resolution Conf. 8.18 adopted a nomenclatorial reference as a
guideline for cacti (Cactaceae); therefore, several less familiar names
are added to the existing listings. Also, by an amendment at COP5 and
Resolution Conf. 6.18, the flasked artificially propagated seedlings of
all Appendix II species are excluded from regulation. Resolution Conf.
8.17(c), by interpretation of CITES Article VII(4) and Article
I(b)(iii), exempts the flasked artificially propagated seedlings of
Appendix I orchid species (details are in the March 4, 1992, Federal
Register; 57 FR 7774). A subsequent postal-procedures amendment also
addresses this topic (details are in the November 6, 1992, Federal
Register; 57 FR 53090). All the flasked artificially propagated orchid
seedlings (Orchidaceae) thus are not regulated by CITES.
Comments Received and U.S. Decisions
The Service received 26 public comments in response to the May 13,
1992, Federal Register notice: one requested that the United States
enter a reservation on the listing of the American black bear (Ursus
americanus); one requested the entering of a reservation on the listing
of the paddlefish (Polyodon spathula); and 24 expressed concern over
the permitting consequence for pre-CITES specimens from the listing of
Brazilian rosewood (Dalbergia nigra).
The International Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies urged
the United States to take a reservation on the listing of the American
black bear in Appendix II, which had been for reasons of similarity of
appearance [CITES Article II(2)(b)]. At the eighth meeting of the
Conference of the Parties to CITES, the other Party countries
recognized that the North American black bear populations are not
threatened by trade, but the sale of undocumented gall bladders
threatens the existence of Asian bear species that are listed in
Appendix I. With either an Appendix II or Appendix III listing of the
American black bear, all the parts of bears in international trade
require CITES documentation, thus eliminating undocumented parts from
legitimately entering the trade. Although the U.S. delegation felt that
Canada's previous listing of this species in Appendix III was adequate,
the action by the Parties in listing this black bear in Appendix II may
help to reduce the illegal trade in the similar-appearing parts of
endangered bears.
Former Congressman Ron Marlenee of Montana requested that the
United States enter a reservation on the listing of the paddlefish in
Appendix II. He contended that the listing would seriously jeopardize a
non-profit paddlefish roe operation in Montana. The U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service's North Central Regional Office (Region 6) had
prepared a proposal to add this species to Appendix I of CITES. The
United States submitted the proposal to the CITES Secretariat to
include the paddlefish in Appendix I, but with a notation that the
Service was seeking additional information, and might revise the
proposal to recommend listing in Appendix II. The United States
ultimately did change to propose that the paddlefish be included in
Appendix II, inasmuch as an Appendix II listing allows for legitimate
exports determined not to be detrimental to the survival of the
species, yet imposes the same penalties for violations of the
requirements for export from the United States, and establishes the
same trade-reporting conditions as an Appendix I listing.
The Service received 24 comments within the comment period about
Brazilian rosewood (Dalbergia nigra). Nearly all supported the listing
of this species in Appendix I, and none requested a reservation, but
all expressed concern about CITES regulation of the already acquired
wood of this tree presently embodied in musical instruments, especially
guitars. The commenters were from the music industry (including
associations, periodical publishers, a computer bulletin-board network,
etc.); dealers especially in vintage guitars and including guitar-show
producers; and manufacturers of stringed musical instruments
(luthiers), especially of guitars.
CITES provides a personal-effects exemption for such items that an
international traveler exports and then imports when returning home,
although it may be useful to declare the item to U.S. Customs at export
to facilitate its re-entry. First, as a precaution, travelers should
determine whether the countries to which they are going allow this
CITES exemption.
For international commercial trade (export and re-export), CITES
requires certification that parts and derivatives of the species were
acquired before June 11, 1992 (i.e., that the wood is pre-Convention).
Over the last several centuries and especially in this century (until
1970), most guitars (as well as several other fretted musical
instruments such as banjos, basses, mandolins, and ukuleles) have been
comprised of some to much Brazilian rosewood, and many of these musical
instruments are in international commerce.
The Service reviewed Brazil's proposal to include Dalbergia nigra
(the Brazilian rosewood) in Appendix I. The species occurs naturally
only in fragmented populations in remnants of the Mata Atlantica
(Atlantic Coast Tropical Rainforest) of Brazil. A substantial amount of
new information and data on trade in the wood of this species were
received from persons in the music industry. The United States
continues to agree that the species in the wild needs strong
conservation measures, and did not enter a reservation on the listing
of the species in Appendix I. The United States has had experience in
the pre-CITES certification of articles (including musical instruments)
with elephant ivory, tortoise shell, or hard coral, and will continue
to endeavor to make the pre-CITES certification process efficient.
Procedural Requirements
This Federal Register notice simply implements changes in the list
of species in the Convention's appendices that have already been
approved by the Conference of the Parties at their eighth 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 on any of these amendments ended on
June 10, 1992. The Service did not recommend the entry of any
reservations, and none were taken by the United States. Therefore,
these amendments to the CITES Appendices have been in effect for the
United States since June 11, 1992. This notice brings the information
in 50 CFR 23.23(f) 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, and they were included in a public meeting on May 26, 1992 (see
the May 11, 1992, Federal Register, 57 FR 20126). Therefore, the
Department of the Interior has determined that good cause exists for
making this rule effective upon its date of publication [5 U.S.C.
553(d)]. Accordingly, paragraph (f) of Sec. 23.23 of 50 CFR has been
amended at the conclusion of this rule.
The Department has determined that amendments to the Convention's
appendices, which result from actions of the Parties to the Convention,
did not require the preparation of Environmental Assessments as defined
under authority of the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C.
4321-4347). This rule was not subject to Office of Management and
Budget review under Executive Order 12866. The Regulatory Flexibility
Act (5 U.S.C. 601) does not apply to this listing process. This final
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.
An editorial clarification for 50 CFR 23.23(f) under Class Aves
(Birds) in the Order Psittaciformes (Parrots, etc.) emphasizes that
Psittacula krameri (rose-ringed or ring-necked parakeet) remains in
Appendix III and was not included in Appendix II in 1981 at the third
meeting of the Conference of the Parties.
This document was prepared by Drs. Charles W. Dane, Richard M.
Mitchell, and Bruce MacBryde, 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).
