DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Fish and Wildlife Service 

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife 

and Plants; Notice of Suspension of 

Trade in Threatened Beluga Sturgeon 

(Huso huso) From the Black Sea Basin 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: We, the Fish and Wildlife 

Service (Service), give notice that we are 

suspending import of and foreign 

commerce in beluga sturgeon (Huso 

huso) caviar and meat originating in the 

Black Sea littoral states of Bulgaria, 

Georgia, Romania, the Russian 

Federation, Serbia and Montenegro, 

Turkey, and Ukraine effective 

immediately. This suspension applies to 

shipments that have been exported 

directly from these countries, reexported through an intermediary 

country, or transported as personal or 

household effects, and it prohibits 

foreign commerce in the course of a 

commercial activity. We are taking this 

action under the special rule that was 

promulgated to control the trade of 

threatened beluga sturgeon (Huso huso) 

(70 FR 10493; March 4, 2005). Interstate 

62136 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 208 / Friday, October 28, 2005 / Notices 

commerce in beluga sturgeon caviar or 

meat from the Black Sea basin that was 

legally imported into the United States 

before the trade suspension is not 

prohibited. 

DATES: This notice is effective October 

28, 2005. 

ADDRESSES: Black Sea littoral states 

wishing to provide information that may 

allow us to lift this trade suspension 

may submit it by any one of several 

methods: 

1. You may submit written 

information to Robert R. Gabel, Chief, 

Division of Scientific Authority, U.S. 

Fish and Wildlife Service, 4401 North 

Fairfax Drive, Room 750, Arlington, 

Virginia 22203. 

2. You may hand-deliver written 

information to the Division of Scientific 

Authority, at the above address, or fax 

your comments to 703–358–2276. 

3. You may send information by 

electronic mail (e-mail) to 

ScientificAuthority@fws.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

further information pertaining to 

compliance with the special rule, 

contact Robert R. Gabel, Chief, Division 

of Scientific Authority, at the address 

above; telephone, 703–358–1708; fax, 

703–358–2276. For further information 

on application procedures and 

requirements for threatened species 

permits, contact the Division of 

Management Authority, U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, 4401 N. Fairfax Drive, 

Room 700, Arlington, Virginia 22203; 

telephone, 703–358–2104; fax, 703–

358–2281. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 

21, 2004, we listed beluga sturgeon as 

threatened (69 FR 21425) under the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) (Act). 

We subsequently published a special 

rule concerning beluga sturgeon (70 FR 

10493; March 4, 2005) under section 

4(d) of the Act. The special rule, located 

at 50 CFR 17.44(y) of our regulations, 

promotes the conservation of the species 

by allowing the import, export or reexport, and interstate and foreign 

commerce of beluga sturgeon caviar and 

meat, without threatened species 

permits otherwise required under 50 

CFR 17.32, from littoral states in the 

Caspian and Black Sea basins that 

demonstrate progress on measures to 

protect and recover the species. The 

special rule requires countries wishing 

to export beluga sturgeon caviar or meat 

to the United States under this 

exemption to provide, by September 6, 

2005, copies of basin-wide cooperative 

management plans for beluga sturgeon 

agreed to by all littoral states in the 

Black Sea or Caspian Sea basin along 

with copies of national laws 

implementing the management plans. 

Import of and foreign commerce in 

Black Sea beluga sturgeon suspended. 

We have not received a basin-wide 

management plan for beluga sturgeon 

from any of the littoral states in the 

Black Sea basin. We received 

information from Bulgaria, Georgia, and 

Serbia and Montenegro, including a 

copy of a document signed by Bulgaria, 

Romania, and Serbia and Montenegro in 

which they agree to implement a 

regional strategy for conservation and 

sustainable management of sturgeon 

populations of the northwest Black Sea 

and lower Danube River. While we 

applaud the efforts of these countries in 

working toward regional cooperation, 

this regional agreement does not fulfill 

the requirements of the special rule. 

Under the special rule, the littoral states 

are required to submit a basin-wide 

management plan agreed to by all 

littoral states in the Black Sea basin (not 

just exporting countries). A regional 

plan covering only a portion of the 

Black Sea is not sufficient to meet this 

requirement. Bulgaria, Georgia, 

Romania, the Russian Federation, Serbia 

and Montenegro, Turkey, and Ukraine 

have therefore failed to meet the 

conditions of the special rule. As a 

result, beluga sturgeon caviar (including 

products containing caviar, such as 

cosmetics) and meat from these 

countries are no longer eligible for the 

exemption from threatened species 

permits provided by the special rule. 

Therefore, you may not import or reexport, sell or offer for sale in foreign 

commerce, or deliver, receive, carry, 

transport, or ship in foreign commerce 

in the course of a commercial activity 

any beluga sturgeon caviar or meat from 

these Black Sea countries on or after the 

effective date of this Federal Register 

notice (see DATES section) without a 

threatened species permit. Beluga 

sturgeon caviar or meat originating in 

these countries that has been shipped 

on or after the effective date of this 

Federal Register notice (see DATES

section) without a threatened species 

permit issued under 50 CFR 17.32 will 

be refused clearance upon arrival in the 

United States, including shipments that 

have been exported directly from the 

countries listed above in this paragraph, 

re-exported through an intermediary 

country, or transported as personal or 

household effects. 

Threatened species permits may only 

be issued for beluga sturgeon from the 

Black Sea basin if we determine that the 

proposed import, re-export, or interstate 

or foreign commerce would meet the 

regulatory requirements in 50 CFR 

17.32. Applicants must demonstrate that 

their proposed activities would provide 

for the conservation of the species. 

Beluga sturgeon products legally 

imported before the trade suspension. 

Beluga sturgeon caviar or meat from 

Bulgaria, Georgia, Romania, the Russian 

Federation, Serbia and Montenegro, 

Turkey, or Ukraine that was legally 

imported into the United States prior to 

the trade suspension will continue to be 

authorized for interstate commerce 

under the special rule without a 

threatened species permit. Due to the 

perishable nature of sturgeon caviar and 

meat, the exemption for interstate 

commerce in beluga sturgeon caviar and 

meat legally imported prior to the trade 

suspension will continue for a period of 

no more than 18 months after the date 

of issuance of the original Convention 

on International Trade in Endangered 

Species of Wild Fauna and Flora 

(CITES) export permit, in accordance 

with the CITES resolution on the 

‘‘Conservation of and trade in sturgeons 

and paddlefish’’ (Resolution Conf. 12.7 

(Rev. CoP13)). Individuals should 

maintain accurate records to be able to 

demonstrate that their beluga sturgeon 

caviar and meat were legally imported 

prior to the trade suspension. 

Conditions for lifting of the trade 

suspension. Under the special rule, if 

the littoral states fail to submit a basinwide management plan for beluga 

sturgeon, or if we are unable to confirm 

that all littoral states in the basin are 

signatories to the plan, we will 

immediately suspend trade with all 

littoral states in the basin until we are 

satisfied that such a management plan 

exists. Likewise, under the special rule, 

if the littoral states fail to submit copies 

of national laws and regulations that 

implement the basin-wide management 

plan, we will immediately suspend 

trade with the given littoral states until 

we are satisfied that such laws and 

regulations are in effect. For us to 

consider lifting the trade suspension, 

the littoral states of the Black Sea basin 

must submit a basin-wide management 

plan for beluga sturgeon. This plan must 

include all the elements specified in the 

beluga sturgeon special rule and be 

signed by all littoral states in the basin. 

In addition, each littoral state wishing to 

export beluga sturgeon caviar and meat 

to the United States under the 

exemption provided by the special rule 

must submit copies of their national 

laws that implement the basin-wide 

plan. Information on how to submit 

such materials is located in the 

ADDRESSES section. 

Aquaculture facilities. The special 

rule allows aquaculture facilities 

outside the Caspian and Black Sea 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 208 / Friday, October 28, 2005 / Notices 62137 

basins to obtain an exemption from 

threatened species permits otherwise 

required under 50 CFR 17.32 if they 

meet certain conditions. We have not 

yet received any requests for such an 

exemption. Under the special rule, there 

is no deadline for receipt of applications 

from aquaculture facilities seeking an 

exemption. 

Authority: The authority for this action is 

the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). 

Dated: October 13, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Upper 

Missouri River Breaks National 

Monument is located in northcentral 

Montana in Blaine, Chouteau, Fergus, 

and Phillips Counties. The planning 

area addressed in the RMP comprises 

about 375,000 acres of public land and 

42,800 acres of existing oil and gas 

leases administered by the BLM 

Lewistown Field Office. The State of 

Montana and Blaine, Chouteau, Fergus, 

and Phillips Counties participated in 

development of the plan as cooperating 

agencies. 

The public involvement and 

collaboration process implemented for 

this effort included 11 public scoping 

open houses, 11 alternative 

development workshops, 6 public 

meetings on oil and gas leases, 

preparation of comment summary 

reports, incorporation of 

recommendations from the Central 

Montana Resource Advisory Council 

(RAC), and distribution of information 

via the Monument RMP Web site and 

periodic updates and newsletters. BLM 

has sent copies of the DRMP/EIS to 

individuals, agencies, and groups who 

requested them or if this was required 

by regulation or policy. 

For comments to be most helpful, 

they should relate to specific concerns 

or conflicts that are within the legal 

responsibilities of the BLM and can be 

resolved in this planning process. BLM 

will publish its responses to the 

comments in the Proposed Resource 

Management Plan and Final 

Environmental Impact Statement. If you 

wish to withhold your name or street 

address from public review or from 

disclosure under the Freedom of 

Information Act, you must state this 

prominently at the beginning of your 

written comment. Such requests will be 

honored to the extent allowed by law. 

All submissions from organizations and 

businesses, and from individuals 

identifying themselves as 

representatives or officials of 

organizations or businesses, will be 

available for public inspection in their 

entirety. 

The DRMP/EIS addresses the 

following six major questions: How will 

human activities and uses be managed? 

What facilities and infrastructure are 

appropriate to provide visitor 

interpretation and administration of the 

Monument? How will BLM manage 

resource uses and protect the biological, 

historical, cultural, and visual values of 

the Monument? How will Monument 

management be intergrated with other 

agency and community plans? How will 

transportation and access be managed? 

How will Monument management affect 

economic and social conditions in the 

area? 

The DRMP/EIS considers and 

analyzes six alternatives (A–F), 

including the No Action (Continuation 

of Current Management) alternative. 

BLM developed these alternatives based 

on extensive public input, including 

scoping (July/August 2002); alternative 

development workshops (July 2003); oil 

and gas lease meetings (November 

2004); numerous meetings with local, 

state, tribal, and Federal agencies; and 

recommendations made by the Central 

Montana RAC. The BLM expects to 

prepare and make available a Proposed 

RMP and Final Environmental Impact 

Statement after reviewing comments 

and making any pertinent adjustments 

by summer 2006.
