DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR

Fish and Wildlife Service

50 CFR Part 16

Review of Injurious Wildlife

Regulations

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of review of regulations.

SUMMARY: The Fish and Wildlife Service

is reviewing 50 CFR Part 16 to

determine to what extent it should be

reinvented. 50 CFR Part 16 addresses

the importation or shipment of injurious

wildlife. Applicable legislation will be

reviewed, the process for identifying

and listing injurious wildlife will be

examined, and import restrictions will

be evaluated.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before July 15, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed

or sent by fax to the Chief, Division of

Fish and Wildlife Management

Assistance, U.S. Fish and Wildlife

Service, 1849 C Street, N.W., Mail Stop

840 ARLSQ, Washington, D.C. 20240, or

FAX (703) 358–2044.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Susan Mangin, Division of Fish and

Wildlife Management Assistance at

(703) 358–1718.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 50 CFR

Part 16 implements provisions of the

Lacey Act of 1900 (18 U.S.C. 42). The

Lacey Act restricts importation of

mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and

amphibians that are deemed injurious to

humans, agriculture, horticulture,

forestry, wildlife, or wildlife resources

of the United States. Interest has

increased in preventing the introduction

of harmful nonindigenous species. As

50 CFR is reinvented, alternatives to the

current approach for implementing the

Lacey Act will be considered. Specific

comments from other Federal agencies,

States, and the private sector are

requested.

Dated: May 6, 1996.

Deputy Director, U.S. Fish and Wildlife

Service.
