SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The Convention on International

Trade in Endangered Species of Wild

Fauna and Flora, TIAS 8249, hereinafter

referred to as CITES or the Convention,

is an international treaty designed to

control and regulate international trade

in certain animal and plant species that

are or may become threatened with

extinction, and are listed in Appendices

to the Convention. Currently, 134

countries, including the United States,

are CITES Parties. CITES calls for

biennial meetings of the Conference of

the Parties (COP), which review its

implementation, make provisions

enabling the CITES Secretariat in

Switzerland to carry out its functions,

consider amendments to the list of

species in Appendices I and II, consider

reports presented by the Secretariat, and

make recommendations for the

improved effectiveness of the

Convention. The tenth regular meeting

of the Conference of the Parties to CITES

(COP10) will be held in Harare,

Zimbabwe, June 9–20, 1997.

The Fish and Wildlife Service

(Service) hereby publishes the list of

resolutions and documents submitted to

the CITES Secretariat by the United

States for consideration at COP10. At

this time, the Service has not been

provided with all of the resolutions or

species listing proposals submitted by

the other CITES Parties. Once this

information has been received from the

CITES Secretariat, the Service will

publish it in another notice, and call for

public comments on proposed U.S.

negotiating positions.

This is part of a series of notices that,

together with public meetings, allow the
