DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice 8391] 

Certifications Pursuant to Section 609 

of Public Law 101–162 

SUMMARY: On May 2, 2013, the 

Department of State certified, pursuant 

to Section 609 of Public Law 101–162, 

that 13 nations have adopted programs 

to reduce the incidental capture of sea 

turtles in their shrimp fisheries 

comparable to the program in effect in 

the United States. The Department also 

certified that the fishing environments 

in 26 other countries and one economy 

do not pose a threat of the incidental 

taking of sea turtles protected under 

Section 609. 

DATES: Effective Date: On Publication.

Conservation, Bureau of Oceans and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

609 of Public Law 101–162 (‘‘Section 

609’’) prohibits imports of certain 

categories of shrimp unless the 

President certifies to the Congress by 

May 1, 1991, and annually thereafter, 

either: (1) That the harvesting nation or 

economy has adopted a program 

governing the incidental capture of sea 

turtles in its commercial shrimp fishery 

comparable to the program in effect in 

the United States and has an incidental 

take rate comparable to that of the 

United States; or (2) that the fishing 

environment in the harvesting nation or 

economy does not pose a threat of the 

incidental taking of sea turtles. The 

President has delegated the authority to 

make this certification to the 

Department of State (‘‘the Department’’). 

Revised State Department guidelines for 

making the required certifications were 

published in the Federal Register on 

July 2, 1999 (Vol. 64, No. 130, Public 

Notice 3086). 

On May 2, 2013, the Department 

certified 13 nations on the basis that 

their sea turtle protection programs are 

comparable to that of the United States: 

Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El 

Salvador, Guatemala, Guyana, 

Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Nigeria, 

Pakistan, Panama, and Suriname. The 

Department also certified 26 shrimp 

harvesting nations and one economy as 

having fishing environments that do not 

pose a danger to sea turtles. Sixteen 

nations have shrimping grounds only in 

cold waters where the risk of taking sea 

turtles is negligible. They are: 

Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Chile, 

Denmark, Finland, Germany, Iceland, 

Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, 

Norway, Russia, Sweden, the United 

Kingdom, and Uruguay. Ten nations 

and one economy only harvest shrimp 

using small boats with crews of fewer 

than five that use manual rather than 

mechanical means to retrieve nets, or 

catch shrimp using other methods that 

do not threaten sea turtles. Use of such 

small-scale technology does not 

adversely affect sea turtles. The 10 

nations and one economy are: the 

Bahamas, Belize, China, the Dominican 

Republic, Fiji, Hong Kong, Jamaica, 

Oman, Peru, Sri Lanka, and Venezuela. 

The Department of State has 

communicated the certifications under 

Section 609 to the Office of Field 

Operations of U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection. 

All DS–2031 forms accompanying 

shrimp imports from uncertified nations 

or economies must be originals and 

signed by the competent domestic 

fisheries authority. 

In order for shrimp harvested with 

turtle excluder devices (TEDs) in an 

uncertified nation or economy to be 

eligible for importation into the United 

States under the DS–2031 section 

7(A)(2) provision for ‘‘shrimp harvested 

by commercial shrimp trawl vessels 

using TEDs comparable in effectiveness 

to those required in the United States’’, 

the Department of State must determine 

in advance that the government of the 

harvesting nation or economy has put in 

place adequate procedures to ensure the 

accurate completion of the DS–2031 

forms. At this time, the Department has 

made such a determination only with 

respect to Australia, Brazil and France. 

Thus, the importation of TED-caught 

shrimp from any other uncertified 

nation or economy will not be allowed. 

For Brazil, only shrimp harvested in the 

northern shrimp fishery are eligible for 

entry under this provision. For 

Australia, shrimp harvested in the 

Exmouth Gulf Prawn Fishery, the 

Northern Prawn Fishery, the 

Queensland East Coast Trawl Fishery, 

and the Torres Strait Prawn Fishery are 

eligible for entry under this provision. 

For France, shrimp harvested in the 

French Guiana domestic trawl fishery 

are eligible for entry under this 

provision. An official of the competent 

domestic fisheries authority for the 

country or economywhere the shrimp 

were harvested must sign the DS–2031 

form accompanying these imports into 

the United States. 

In addition, the Department has 

determined that shrimp harvested in the 

Spencer Gulf region in Australia may be 

exported to the United States under the 

DS–2031 section 7(A)(4) provision for 

‘‘shrimp harvested in a manner or under 

circumstances determined by the 

Department of State not to pose a threat 

of the incidental taking of sea turtles.’’ 

An official of the Government of 

Australia must certify the DS–2031 form 

accompanying these imports into the 

United States.
