DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice 8782] 

Certifications Pursuant to Section 609 

of Public Law 101–162 

SUMMARY: On May 14 2014, the 

Department of State certified, pursuant 

to Section 609 of Public Law 101–162, 

that 14 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

Scientific Affairs, Department of State,

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 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 (‘‘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 14, 2014, the Department 

certified 14 nations on the basis that 

their sea turtle protection programs are 

comparable to that of the United States: 

Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El 

Salvador, Gabon, 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 less 

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 

must be originals and signed by the 

competent domestic fisheries authority. 

Shrimp harvested with turtle excluder 

devices (TEDs) in an uncertified nation 

may, under specific circumstances, 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.’’ 

Use of this provision requires that the 

Department of State determine in 

advance that the government of the 

harvesting nation has put in place 

adequate procedures to monitor the use
