DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR

Fish and Wildlife Service

50 CFR Part 16

Review of Injurious Wildlife Regulations

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of review of regulations.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Fish and Wildlife Service is reviewing 50 CFR Part 16 to
determine to what extent it should be reinvented. 50 CFR Part 16
addresses the importation or shipment of injurious wildlife. Applicable
legislation will be reviewed, the process for identifying and listing
injurious wildlife will be examined, and import restrictions will be
evaluated.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before July 15, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed or sent by fax to the Chief, Division
of Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance, U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, 1849 C Street, N.W., Mail Stop 840 ARLSQ, Washington, D.C.
20240, or FAX (703) 358-2044.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Susan Mangin, Division of Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance at
(703) 358-1718.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 50 CFR Part 16 implements provisions of the
Lacey Act of 1900 (18 U.S.C. 42). The Lacey Act restricts importation
of mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians that are deemed
injurious to humans, agriculture, horticulture, forestry, wildlife, or
wildlife resources of the United States. Interest has increased in
preventing the introduction of harmful nonindigenous species. As 50 CFR
is reinvented, alternatives to the current approach for implementing
the Lacey Act will be considered. Specific comments from other Federal
agencies, States, and the private sector are requested.

Dated: May 6, 1996.
Bruce Blanchard,
Deputy Director, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
