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. 

• Origin of animals or eggs. 

• Name and address of exporter.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

Under section 101(b) of the Marine 

Mammal Protection Act of 1972 

(MMPA), as amended (16 U.S.C. 1361– 

1407), Alaska Natives residing in Alaska 

and dwelling on the coast of the North 

Pacific or Arctic Oceans may harvest 

polar bears, northern sea otters, and 

Pacific walrus for subsistence or 

handicraft purposes. Section 109(i) of 

the MMPA authorizes the Secretary of 

the Interior to prescribe marking, 

tagging, and reporting regulations 

applicable to the Alaska Native 

subsistence and handicraft take. 

On behalf of the Secretary, we 

implemented regulations at 50 CFR 

18.23(f) for Alaska Natives harvesting 

polar bear, northern sea otter, and 

Pacific walrus. These regulations enable 

us to gather data on the Alaska Native 

subsistence and handicraft harvest and 

on the biology of polar bear, northern 

sea otter, and Pacific walrus in Alaska 

to determine what effect such take may 

be having on these populations. The 

regulations also provide us with a 

means of monitoring the disposition of 

the harvest to ensure that any 

commercial use of products created 

from these species meets the criteria set 

forth in section 101(b) of the MMPA. We 

use three forms to collect the 

information, which includes, but is not 

limited to: 

• Date of kill. 

• Sex of the animal. 

• Kill location. 

• Age of the animal (i.e., adult, 

subadult, cub, or pup). 

• Form of transportation used to 

make the kill of polar bears. 

• Amount of time (i.e., hours/days 

hunted) spent hunting polar bears. 

• Type of take (live killed or beach 

found) for walrus. 

• Number of otters present in and 

number of otters harvested from pod. 

• Condition of the bear and whether 

or not polar bear cubs were present. 

• Name of the hunter or possessor of 

the specified parts at the time of 

marking, tagging, and reporting.
