DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice 5802] 

Certifications Pursuant to Section 609 

of Public Law 101–162 

SUMMARY: On May 1, 2007, the 

Department of State certified, pursuant 

to Section 609 of Public Law 101–162 

(‘‘Section 609’’), that 16 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 24 other 

countries and one economy, Hong Kong, 

do not pose a threat of the incidental 

taking of sea turtles protected under 

Section 609. Shrimp imports from any 

nation not certified were prohibited 

effective May 1, 2007 pursuant to 

Section 609. 

DATES: Effective Date: May 22, 2007. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Clayton Stanger, Office of Marine 

Conservation, Bureau of Oceans and 

International Environmental and 

Scientific Affairs, Department of State, 

Washington, DC 20520–7818; telephone: 

(202) 647–2335. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

609 of Public Law 101–162 prohibits 

imports of certain categories of shrimp 

unless the President certifies to the 

Congress not later than May 1 of each 

year either: (1) That the harvesting 

nation 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 

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. 

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 1, 2007, the Department 

certified 16 nations on the basis that 

their sea turtle protection programs are 

comparable to that of the United States: 

Belize, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, 

El Salvador, Guatemala, Guyana, 

Honduras, Madagascar, Mexico, 

Nicaragua, Nigeria, Pakistan, Panama, 

Suriname, and Venezuela. 

The Department also certified 24 

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. Eight nations and one 

economy only harvest shrimp using 

small boats with crews of less than five 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
28754 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 98 / Tuesday, May 22, 2007 / Notices 

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 smallscale technology does not adversely 

affect sea turtles. The eight nations and 

one economy are: The Bahamas, China, 

the Dominican Republic, Fiji, Hong 

Kong, Jamaica, Oman, Peru and Sri 

Lanka. 

The Department of State has 

communicated the certifications under 

Section 609 to the Office of Field 

Operations of U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection. 

In addition, this Federal Register 

Notice confirms that the requirement for 

all DS–2031 forms from uncertified 

nations must be originals and signed by 

the competent domestic fisheries 

authority. This policy change was first 

announced in a Department of State 

media note released on December 21, 

2004.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Public Notice for Waiver of 

Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance 

Rickenbacker International Airport 

Columbus, OH 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of intent of waiver with 

respect to land. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) is considering a 

proposal to change a portion of the 

airport from aeronautical use to nonaeronautical use and to authorize the 

release of 188.653 acres of vacant airport 

property previously used for 

agricultural purposes for the proposed 

development of bulk warehouse/ 

distribution facilities as a component of 

the Rickenbacker Global Logistics Park. 

The land was acquired by the 

Rickenbacker Port Authority through 

three Quitclaim Deeds from the United 

States of American dated March 30, 

1984, September 22, 2004 (amended and 

restated August 26, 2005) and May 16, 

2005. There are no impacts to the 

airport by allowing the airport to 

dispose of the property. Approval does 

not constitute a commitment by the 

FAA to financially assist in the disposal 

of the subject airport property nor a 

determination of eligibility for grant-inaid funding from the FAA. The CRAA 

will receive $4,245,000 for the parcel. 

In accordance with section 47107(h) 

of title 49, United States Code, this 

notice is required to be published in the 

Federal Register 30 days before 

modifying the land-use assurance that 

requires the property to be used for an 

aeronautical purpose.

or before June 21, 2007.
