Forfeiture Procedures under the Endangered Species Act and the Lacey Act Amendments
Document ID: APHIS-2007-0086-0001
Document Type: Proposed Rule
Agency: Animal And Plant Health Inspection Service
Topics: Administrative Practices and Procedures, Endangered and Threatened Species, Exports, Imports, Law Enforcement, Plants (agriculture), Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements, Seizures and Forfeitures
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is one of the agencies that administers the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA), and the Lacey Act Amendments of 1981, as amended, that pertain to plants. We are proposing to update our regulations that set forth our forfeiture procedures with regard to plants or plant products seized under the authority of the ESA and the Lacey Act. The proposed changes would make our regulations conform to the requirements of the Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act of 2000, increase the monetary threshold of those cases proceeding through judicial forfeiture, provide for the assessment of storage costs of seized property, and make the regulations easier to understand.
