SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Abstract The Lacey Act (18 U.S.C. 42) (Act) prohibits the possession or importation of any animal or plant deemed to be and prescribed by regulation to be injurious to: Human beings;
                The interests of agriculture, horticulture, and forestry; or
                Wildlife or the wildlife resources of the United States. The Department of the Interior is charged with enforcement of this Act. The Act and regulations at 50 CFR part 16 allow for the importation of animals classified as injurious if specific criteria are met. To effectively carry out responsibilities and protect the aquatic resources of the United States, we must gather information on the animals being imported with regard to their source, destination, and health status. It is also imperative that we ensure the qualifications of those individuals who provide the fish health data upon which we base our decision to allow importation. We use three forms to collect this information: *(1) FWS Form 3-2273 (Title 50 Certifying Official Form).*
                     New applicants and those seeking recertification as a Title 50 certifying official provide information so that we can assess their qualifications. Information includes, but is not limited to: Name, position title, current place of employment (with address) and work phone number, fax number, and e-mail address.
                Professional degrees.
                Primary duties.
                Areas of expertise and related certifications.
                Facilities available for diagnostic tests and available equipment. *(2) FWS Form 3-2274 (U.S. Title 50 Certification Form).*
                     The certifying official uses this form to affirm the health status of the fish or their reproductive products to be imported. Information includes, but is not limited to: Certifying official's name and date of most recent certification.
                Number, life stage, and species of animals or eggs.
                Site and date of sample collection.
                Name and address of laboratory conducting the assays.
                Site from which the animals or eggs will be shipped.
                Dates of the shipment.
                Means of shipment and anticipated border crossing. *(3) FWS Form 3-2275 (Title 50 Importation Request Form).*
                     We use the information on this form to ensure the safety of the shipment and to track and control importations. Information includes, but is not limited to: Name and address of company/agency and facility receiving animals or eggs.
                Number, life stage, and species of animals or eggs.
