SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Convention on Cultural Property 

Implementation Act, Public Law 97– 

446, 19 U.S.C. 2601 et seq. (hereinafter, 

‘‘the Cultural Property Implementation 

Act’’), implements the 1970 United 

Nations Educational, Scientific and 

Cultural Organization (UNESCO) 

Convention on the Means of Prohibiting 

and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export 

and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural 

Property (823 U.N.T.S. 231 (1972)) 

(hereinafter, ‘‘the Convention’’). 

Pursuant to the Cultural Property 

Implementation Act, the Government of 

the United States entered into a bilateral 

agreement with the Government of the 

Kingdom of Morocco (Morocco) to 

impose import restrictions on certain 

archaeological and ethnological material 

from Morocco on January 14, 2021. This 

rule announces the imposition of import 

restrictions on certain archaeological 

and ethnological material from 

Morocco. 

Determinations 

Under 19 U.S.C. 2602(a)(1), the 

United States must make certain 

determinations before entering into an 

agreement to impose import restrictions 

under 19 U.S.C. 2602(a)(2). On April 30, 

2020, the Assistant Secretary for 

Educational and Cultural Affairs, United 

States Department of State, after 

consultation with and recommendation 

by the Cultural Property Advisory 

Committee, made the determinations 

required under the statute with respect 

to certain archaeological and 

ethnological material from Morocco that 

is described in the Designated List set 

forth below in this document. These 

determinations include the following: 

(1) That Morocco’s cultural heritage is 

in jeopardy from pillage of certain types 

of archaeological material representing 

Morocco’s cultural heritage ranging in 

date from approximately 1 million B.C. 

to A.D. 1750 and certain types of 

ethnological material representing 

Morocco’s cultural heritage from the 

Saadian and Alaouite dynasties ranging 

in date from approximately A.D. 1549 to 

1912 (19 U.S.C. 2602(a)(1)(A)); (2) that 

the Moroccan government has taken 

measures consistent with the 

Convention to protect its cultural 

patrimony (19 U.S.C. 2602(a)(1)(B)); (3) 

that import restrictions imposed by the 

United States would be of substantial 

benefit in deterring a serious situation of 

pillage and remedies less drastic are not 

available (19 U.S.C. 2602(a)(1)(C)); and 

(4) that the application of import 

restrictions as set forth in this final rule 

is consistent with the general interests 

of the international community in the

interchange of cultural property among 

nations for scientific, cultural, and 

educational purposes (19 U.S.C. 

2602(a)(1)(D)). The Assistant Secretary 

also found that the material described in 

the determinations meets the statutory 

definition of ‘‘archaeological or 

ethnological material of the State Party’’ 

(19 U.S.C. 2601(2)). 

The Agreement 

On January 14, 2021, the Government 

of the United States and the 

Government of Morocco entered into a 

bilateral agreement, ‘‘Memorandum of 

Understanding between the Government 

of the United States of America and the 

Government of the Kingdom of Morocco 

Concerning the Imposition of Import 

Restrictions on Categories of 

Archaeological and Ethnological 

Material of Morocco’’ (hereinafter, ‘‘the 

Agreement’’), pursuant to the provisions 

of 19 U.S.C. 2602(a)(2). The Agreement 

entered into force upon signature, and 

enables the promulgation of import 

restrictions on certain categories of 

archaeological material ranging in date 

from approximately 1 million B.C. to 

A.D. 1750, as well as certain categories 

of ethnological material from the 

Saadian and Alaouite dynasties ranging 

in date from approximately A.D. 1549 to 

1912. A list of the categories of 

archaeological and ethnological material 

subject to the import restrictions is set 

forth later in this document. 

Restrictions and Amendment to the 

Regulations 

In accordance with the Agreement, 

importation of material designated 

below is subject to the restrictions of 19 

U.S.C. 2606 and § 12.104g(a) of title 19 

of the Code of Federal Regulations (19 

CFR 12.104g(a)) and will be restricted 

from entry into the United States unless 

the conditions set forth in 19 U.S.C. 

2606 and § 12.104c of the CBP 

Regulations (19 CFR 12.104c) are met. 

CBP is amending § 12.104g(a) of the CBP 

Regulations (19 CFR 12.104g(a)) to 

indicate that these import restrictions 

have been imposed. 

Import restrictions listed at 19 CFR 

12.104g(a) are effective for no more than 

five years beginning on the date on 

which the Agreement enters into force 

with respect to the United States. This 

period may be extended for additional 

periods of not more than five years if it 

is determined that the factors which 

justified the Agreement still pertain and 

no cause for suspension of the 

Agreement exists. The import 

restrictions will expire on January 14, 

2026, unless extended. 

Designated List of Archaeological and 

Ethnological Material of Morocco 

The Agreement between the United 

States and Morocco includes the

Inapplicability of Notice and Delayed 

Effective Date 

This amendment involves a foreign 

affairs function of the United States and 

is, therefore, being made without notice 

or public procedure (5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). 

For the same reason, a delayed effective 

date is not required under 5 U.S.C. 

553(d)(3). 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

Because no notice of proposed 

rulemaking is required, the provisions 

of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not apply.

CBP has determined that this 

document is not a regulation or rule 

subject to the provisions of Executive 

Order 12866 or Executive Order 13771

of Executive Order 12866 and section 

4(a) of Executive Order 13771.

establishing a temporary safety zone for 

all navigable waters of the Lower 

Mississippi River (LMR), between Mile 

Marker 368 and 370. The safety zone is

the marine environment from the 

potential safety hazards associated with 

line pulling operations in the vicinity of 

the Natchez, MS. Entry of persons or 

vessels into this zone is prohibited 

unless authorized by the Captain of the 

Port Sector Lower Mississippi River or 

a designated representative. 

DATES: This rule is effective without 

actual notice from January 22, 2021

NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

§ Section 

U.S.C. United States Code 

II. Background Information and 

Regulatory History 

The Coast Guard is issuing this 

temporary rule without prior notice and 

opportunity to comment pursuant to 

authority under section 4(a) of the 

Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 

U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision 

authorizes an agency to issue a rule 

without prior notice and opportunity to 

comment when the agency for good 

cause finds that those procedures are 

‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary 

to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that 

good cause exists for not publishing a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

with respect to this rule because it is 

impracticable. Immediate action is 

needed to protect persons and property 

from the potential safety hazards 

associated with line pulling operations. 

The NPRM process would delay the 

establishment of the safety zone until 

after the date of the event and 

compromise public safety. We must 

establish this temporary safety zone 

immediately and lack sufficient time to 

provide a reasonable comment period 

and then consider those comments 

before issuing the rule. 

Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast 

Guard finds that good cause exists for 

making this rule effective less than 30 

days after publication in the Federal 

Register. Delaying the effective date of 

this rule would be contrary to the public 

interest because immediate action is 

needed to respond to the potential 

safety hazards associated with the line 

pulling operations in the vicinity of 

Natchez, MS. 

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule 

The Coast Guard is issuing this rule 

under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034 

(previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The 

Captain of the Port (COTP) Sector Lower 

Mississippi River (LMR) has determined 

that potential hazards associated with 

the line pulling operations at Mile 

Marker (MM) 369.0, scheduled to start 

on January 14, 2021, would be a safety 

concern for all persons and vessels on 

the Lower Mississippi River between 

MM 368.0 and MM 370.0 through 

February 5, 2021. This rule is needed to 

protect persons, property, infrastructure, 

and the marine environment in all 

waters of the LMR within the safety 

zone while line pulling operations are 

being conducted. 

IV. Discussion of the Rule 

This rule establishes a temporary 

safety zone from January 14, 2021 to 

February 5, 2021. The safety zone will 

cover all navigable waters of the LMR 

from MM 368.0 to MM 370.0. The 

duration of this safety zone is intended 

to ensure the safety of waterway users 

on these navigable waters during, the 

line pulling operations. 

Entry of persons or vessels into this 

safety zone is prohibited unless 

authorized by the COTP or a designated 

representative. A designated 

representative is a commissioned, 

warrant, or petty officer of the U.S. 

Coast Guard assigned to units under the 

operational control of USCG Sector 

Lower Mississippi River. Persons or 

vessels seeking to enter the safety zones 

must request permission from the COTP 

or a designated representative on VHF– 

FM channel 16 or by telephone at 901– 

521–4822. If permission is granted, all 

persons and vessels shall comply with 

the instructions of the COTP or
