SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Administrative Conference of the

developing recommendations for the 

improvement of Federal administrative 

procedures (5 U.S.C. 591). 

The Conference has engaged a 

Professor of Law at Washington 

University in St. Louis School of Law, 

Kathleen Clark, to research and prepare 

a report regarding whether ethics 

regulations analogous to those 

applicable to government employees 

should apply to government contractors 

and, if so, how such regulations should 

be imposed (the ‘‘Ethics Report’’). A 

copy of the Ethics Report is available at 

http://www.acus.gov. The Committee on 

Administration met on November 3, 

2010 to discuss the Ethics Report and 

again on December 9, 2010 to discuss a 

draft recommendation on expanding the 

ethics rules applicable to government 

contractors and their employees. 

From 9 a.m. to 12 noon on March 16, 

2011, the committee will discuss a 

revised draft recommendation based on 

the Ethics Report and on the discussion 

from the first two meetings. A copy of 

the draft recommendation will be made 

available at http://www.acus.gov prior to 

the March 16, 2011 meeting. This 

meeting will be open to the public and 

may end prior to 12 noon if business is 

concluded prior to that time. Members 

of the public are invited to attend the 

meeting in person, subject to space 

limitations, and the Conference will also 

provide remote public access to the 

meeting.

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, and plants. The 

Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 

2008, effective May 22, 2008, amended 

the Lacey Act by expanding its 

protections 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 any Federal, State, 

Tribal, or 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 covered by 

the Act. 

In addition, Section 3 of the Lacey 

Act, as amended, made it unlawful, 

beginning December 15, 2008, 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 

which the plant was harvested. 

Enforcement of the declaration 

requirement is currently being phased 

in.1

The Act also requires us to review the 

implementation of the declaration 

requirements, including the effect of 

certain exclusions from those 

requirements, and to provide public 

notice and opportunity for comment 

while conducting the review. 

Furthermore, after we have completed 

the review, we are required to submit a 

report to Congress detailing the results 

of that review. Specifically, the Act 

directs us to include in the report the 

following items: 

(A) An evaluation of— 

(i) The effectiveness of each type of 

information required under paragraphs (1) 

through (2) in assisting enforcement of this 

section; and 

(ii) The potential to harmonize each 

requirement imposed by paragraphs (1) and 

(2) with other applicable import regulations 

in existence as of the date of the report; 

(B) Recommendations for such legislation 

as the Secretary determines to be appropriate 

to assist in the identification of plants that 

are imported into the United States in 

violation of this section; and 

(C) An analysis of the effect of subsection 

(a) and this subsection on— 

(i) The cost of legal plant imports; and 

(ii) The extent and methodology of 

illegal logging practices and trafficking. 

Therefore, we are soliciting 

information from the public about the 

implementation of the import 

declaration requirements. Interested 

parties are invited to submit comments 

on the issues stated above and other 

pertinent issues related to the 

implementation and enforcement of the 

2008 Lacey Act amendments. 

Information received in response to this 

notice will be taken into account and 

included with our analysis of the 

implementation of the declaration 

requirements in the report made to 

Congress. Comments submitted in 

response to previous notices regarding 

implementation of the amended Lacey 

Act will also be taken into account and 

do not need to be resubmitted. 

Authority: 16 U.S.C. 3371 et seq.; 7 CFR 

2.22, 2.80, and 371.2(d).

On July 28, 2010, the Department of

days after the last day of the anniversary

foregoing time period. 

The Department finds that it is not 

practicable to complete the preliminary
