time of importation for certain plants 

and plant products. The declaration 

requirements of the Lacey Act became 

effective on December 15, 2008, and 

enforcement of those requirements is 

being phased in. The purpose of this 

notice is to inform the public of the 

Federal Government’s revised plan to 

phase in enforcement of the declaration 

requirement and other implementation 

plans.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Lacey Act (16 U.S.C. 3371 et 

seq.), first enacted in 1900 and 

significantly amended in 1981, is the 

United States’ oldest wildlife protection 

statute. The Act combats trafficking in 

‘‘illegal’’ wildlife, fish, or plants. The 

Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 

2008, effective May 22, 2008, amended 

the Lacey Act by expanding its 

protection to a broader range of plants 

and plant products (Section 8204, 

Prevention of Illegal Logging Practices). 

As amended, the Lacey Act now makes 

it unlawful to import, export, transport, 

sell, receive, acquire, or purchase in 

interstate or foreign commerce any 

plant, with some limited exceptions, 

taken in violation of the laws of a U.S. 

State or any foreign law that protects 

plants. The Lacey Act also now makes 

it unlawful to make or submit any false 

record, account, or label for, or any false 

identification of, any plant. In addition, 

Section 3 of the Lacey Act, as amended 

(16 U.S.C. 3372), makes it unlawful to 

import certain plants and plant products 

without an import declaration. The 

declaration must contain, among other 

things, the scientific name of the plant, 

value of the importation, quantity of the 

plant, and name of the country from 

where the plant was harvested. For 

paper and paperboard products 

containing recycled content, the 

declaration also must include the 

average percent of recycled content 

without regard for species or country of 

harvest. 

Comment Analysis 

On October 8, 2008, we published a 

notice in the Federal Register (73 FR 

58925–58927, Docket No. APHIS–2008– 

0119) announcing our plans to begin 

phased-in enforcement of the 

declaration requirement on April 1, 

2009, and provided dates and products 

covered for the first three phases of 

enforcement. We solicited comments on 

the proposed phase-in plan for 60 days 

ending on December 8, 2008, and 

received 124 comments by that date. On 

February 3, 2009, we published a 

second notice in the Federal Register 

(74 FR 5911–5913, Docket No. APHIS– 

2008–0119) and provided a revised, 

more detailed phase-in schedule based 

on comments we received in response to 

the October notice. We solicited 

comment on the revised phase-in plan 

for 60 days ending on April 6, 2009, and 

received 41 comments by that date. The 

comments covered a range of topics, 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
45416 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 169 / Wednesday, September 2, 2009 / Notices 

including the scope of the declaration 

requirement, the specific products 

covered in each phase, definitions of 

terms, length of phases, effects on trade/ 

industry, and enforcement issues. While 

we will not specifically address each of 

the comments in this notice, we have 

revised the phase-in schedule based on 

the comments we received and our 

experience with implementation to date. 

We will also publish a separate notice 

in the Federal Register to respond to the 

substantive comments that we have 

received to date. We will continue to 

take into account public comments as 

we continue to implement the 

provisions related to the declaration 

requirement of the Lacey Act. 

Revised Phase-in Schedule 

After review of the comments 

received, further internal consideration, 

and experience with implementation of 

the first phase of enforcement of the 

declaration requirement, we have 

revised the phase-in schedule, which 

covers the period from December 15, 

2008, to August 31, 2010. In our 

February notice, we committed to 

providing affected individuals and 

industry with at least 6 months’ notice 

for any products that would be added to 

the phase-in schedule. Although we 

have modified phase III, which is 

scheduled to begin on October 1, 2009, 

we have only removed items from this 

phase. Phase IV, scheduled to begin 

April 1, 2010, has been substantially 

revised. Those changes were based on 

information supplied by commenters 

and further consideration within the 

interagency group of the products that 

would supply the most valuable 

information to inform the Federal 

Government as we continue to 

implement the statute and develop 

recommendations for Congress as 

required by the Act. 

Several commenters contended that 

identifying composite and recycled or 

reused materials (e.g., medium density 

fiberboard, particleboard, and scrap 

wood) to the genus and/or species level 

would be difficult and in some cases 

impossible. In response to those 

comments, we have decided to further 

delay enforcement of the declaration for 

such products. We currently propose to 

begin enforcing the declaration for those 

products no earlier than September 1, 

2010. This delay in enforcement of the 

declaration requirement will allow the 

Federal Government more time to 

evaluate options for enforcing the 

declaration for these goods. 

The revised phased-in enforcement 

schedule through August 31, 2010, is 

described in the table below with the 

date that enforcement of the declaration 

requirement begins listed at the top of 

each column. It is important to note that 

while enforcement of the declaration 

requirement is being phased in, the 

other Lacey Act amendments are 

already effective, and actions to enforce 

provisions of the Act other than the 

declaration requirement may be taken at 

any time.

* Declaration requirements were effective as of December15, 2008. All declarations submitted must be accurate; false statements may be referred for enforcement. Failure to submit a declaration will not be prosecuted, and customs clearance will not be denied for lack of a declaration 

until after the phase-in date above. 

Federal enforcement will address 

failures to file declarations for entries of 

products in the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule (HTS) subchapters listed in 

the above phase-in schedule, unless 

APHIS publishes another notice in the 

Federal Register announcing an 

amended implementation plan. We 

recognize that many of the headings 

listed in phase IV of the phase-in 

schedule contain goods that are not 

composed of wood or other plant 

material. We wish to clarify that a 

declaration is not required for products 

that have no wood or other plant 

content. For example, both metal 

hammers and hammers with wooden 

handles are included in HTS Chapter 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 169 / Wednesday, September 2, 2009 / Notices 45417 

82. In that example, only the hammers 

with wooden handles would require a 

declaration as of April 1, 2010. 

There will be no further additions to 

phases III or IV. We intend to provide 

at least 6 months’ notice to persons and 

industries affected by changes to the 

phase-in schedule to facilitate 

compliance with the new requirements. 

Changes will be announced in the 

Federal Register. We invite public 

comment on the revised schedule for 

enforcement of the declaration. 

We also seek comment on the 

following HTS chapters/subchapters 

currently under consideration for 

subsequent phases that would be 

scheduled to begin on or after 

September 1, 2010: 

• Ch. 44 Headings (wood & articles of 

wood) 

Æ 4405—Wood wool [excelsior] 

Æ 4410—Particle board

We continue to consider the 

applicability of the declaration 

requirement to other products not 

included in the revised phase-in 

schedule or listed above. In particular, 

we seek comment on how the 

declaration requirement should be 

enforced as to additional goods 

classified under the following HTS 

headings: 

• Ch. 48 Paper & articles of 

• Ch. 82 Tools, implements 

• Ch. 89 Ships, boats, & floating 

structures 

• Ch. 93 Arms and ammunition 

• Ch. 94 Furniture, etc. 

• Ch. 95 Toys, games, & sporting 

equipment 

• Ch. 96 Brooms, pencils, buttons 

As noted in the February 2009 

Federal Register notice, the Federal 

Government is also conducting studies 

on other HTS headings to inform its 

implementation of the Lacey Act. 

Blanket Declarations 

Several commenters requested that 

APHIS consider the use of blanket 

declarations instead of shipment-byshipment declarations. Blanket 

declarations could be used to declare 

routine and/or repeat shipments. The 

commenters noted that such 

declarations would reduce the 

paperwork burden on affected entities, 

reduce costs, and could, in addition, 

improve the quality and usefulness of 

the information collected. Some 

commenters provided detailed 

descriptions of possible blanket 

declaration programs. 

The Federal Government is making 

every effort to implement the amended 

Lacey Act, including the declaration 

requirement, in a manner that is 

consistent with the Act and, at the same 

time, recognizes the burden of 

compliance on industry. We also have 

an objective of improving the overall 

quality of the information contained in 

the import declarations. In that context, 

we are currently evaluating options for 

blanket certification programs. We 

recently announced a pilot blanket 

declaration program for participants in 

Customs and Border Protection’s 

expedited border release programs, 

Automated Line Release (ALR) or 

Border Release Advance Screening and 

Selectivity (BRASS). This pilot program 

will test the feasibility of collecting the 

information required through the use of 

a periodic ‘‘blanket’’ declaration, with 

subsequent reconciliation reports. 

Information on how to participate in 

this program is available on APHIS’ 

Lacey Act Web page http:// 

www.aphis.usda.gov/plant_health/ 

lacey_act/index.shtml. 

Use of Spp. To Identify Species of 

Imported Plants 

Several commenters proposed that 

APHIS allow for importers to provide 

only the genus name in circumstances 

where the individual species would be 

difficult to identify. The commenters 

contended that in some circumstances, 

the individual species used to 

manufacture the product would be 

impossible to identify and that they 

would therefore have to list dozens or 

even hundreds of possible species. The 

commenters contended that this 

information would be of little value to 

the Federal Government as it relates to 

enforcement of the declaration 

requirement and that it would result in 

significantly greater filing costs for 

them. Along similar lines, some of those 

commenters asked that APHIS allow for 

the use of common nomenclature for 

species identification. One example 

provided is SPF, a common grade of 

lumber manufactured from varying 

proportions of spruce, pine, or fir 

species in Canada. SPF imports from 

Canada are a combination of several 

distinct species, but identifying the 

particular species in any individual 

shipment would be difficult. The 

commenter recommended that APHIS 

develop a list of shorthand designations 

that would satisfy the requirement to 

provide genus and species information 

for these common nomenclature groups. 

The amended Lacey Act explicitly 

states that the import declaration must 

contain both the genus and the species 

of the imported plant material. Further, 

the Act states that if a species is 

unknown, then the declaration should 

contain a list of all of the possible 

species that may be present in the 

product. Therefore, in circumstances 

where the list of possible species in a 

particular product includes all species 

in a genus, it is acceptable to use ‘‘spp.’’ 

following the genus name on the import 

declaration form. However, when 

reference to all possible species in a 

genus is not accurate (based on 

geographical or other factors), importers 

are expected to provide either the single 

genus and species, or a specific list on 

the import declaration form of all 

possible species that may have been 

used to produce the plant product. 

With regard to the use of shorthand 

group designations like SPF, the Federal 

Government is currently considering 

this approach. Specifically, we are 

considering criteria that might be used 

to define genus and species groups and 

the extent to which we might accept the 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
45418 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 169 / Wednesday, September 2, 2009 / Notices 

use of group designations on the import 

declaration either under our current 

authority or through the regulatory 

authority provided in the amended 

Lacey Act. 

Declaration Form 

A printable declaration form is 

currently available for voluntary 

submission on the Internet at http:// 

www.aphis.usda.gov/plant_health/ 

lacey_act/index.shtml or from the 

person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT. We will continue 

to revise the declaration form to make 

editorial changes and otherwise clarify 

the requirements for the form. To ensure 

that you are using the most updated 

form, please visit the APHIS Web site to 

verify the current version. You may 

submit completed declaration forms by 

mail to: The Lacey Act, c/o U.S. Dept of 

Agriculture, Box 10, 4700 River Road, 

Riverdale, MD 20737. 

As indicated previously, we 

encourage importers to file the data 

required by the amended Lacey Act 

electronically through the Automated 

Commercial System (ACS). If a paper 

declaration is used, please submit the 

original. The declaration form cannot be 

submitted online or by e-mail.
