Extension of Import Restrictions 

Imposed on Archaeological and 

Ethnological Materials From the 

Republic of Mali 

AGENCY: U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection, Department of Homeland 

Security; Department of the Treasury. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This final rule amends the 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) regulations to reflect an extension 

of import restrictions on certain 

archaeological materials from Mali. 

These restrictions, which were 

originally imposed by Treasury Decision 

(T.D.) 93–74, and last extended by CBP 

Decision (Dec.) 12–14, are due to expire 

on September 19, 2017. The Acting 

Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy 

and Public Affairs, United States 

Department of State, has determined 

that conditions warrant the continued 

imposition of import restrictions on 

certain archaeological materials and the 

addition of import restrictions on 

certain ethnological materials from 

Mali. The Designated List of cultural 

property described in CBP Dec. 07–77 is 

revised in this document to reflect the 

addition of ethnological materials to 

include manuscripts dating between the 

twelfth and twentieth centuries in 

paper. The import restrictions imposed 

on the archaeological and ethnological 

materials from Mali will be in effect for 

a five-year period, and the CBP 

regulations are being amended 

accordingly to reflect this extension 

through September 19, 2022. These 

restrictions are being imposed pursuant 

to determinations of the United States 

Department of State made under the 

terms of the Convention on Cultural 

Property Implementation Act, which 

implements the 1970 United Nations 

Educational, Scientific and Cultural 

Organization (UNESCO) Convention on 

the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing 

the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of 

Ownership of Cultural Property. 

DATES: Effective September 19, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Pursuant to the provisions of the 

Convention on Cultural Property 

Implementation Act (hereafter, ‘‘the 

Cultural Property Implementation Act’’ 

or ‘‘the Act’’ (Pub. L. 97–446, 19 U.S.C. 

2601 et seq.)), which implements the 

1970 United Nations Educational, 

Scientific and Cultural Organization 

(UNESCO) Convention on the Means of 

Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit 

Import, Export and Transfer of 

Ownership of Cultural Property 

(hereinafter, the Convention) in U.S. 

law, the United States may enter into 

international agreements with another 

State Party to the Convention to impose 

import restrictions on eligible 

archaeological and ethnological 

materials under procedures and 

requirements prescribed by the Act. 

In certain limited circumstances, the 

Cultural Property Implementation Act 

authorizes the imposition of restrictions 

on an emergency basis (19 U.S.C. 

2603(c)(1)). Under the Act and the 

applicable CBP regulations (19 CFR 

12.104g(b)), emergency restrictions are 

effective for no more than five years 

from the date of the State Party’s request 

and may be extended for three years 


asabaliauskas on DSKBBXCHB2PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 180 / Tuesday, September 19, 2017 / Rules and Regulations 43693 

where it is determined that the 

emergency condition continues to apply 

with respect to the covered materials (19 

U.S.C. 2603(c)(3)); such restrictions may 

also be continued pursuant to an 

agreement concluded within the 

meaning of the Act (19 U.S.C. 

2603(c)(4)). 

On September 23, 1993, under the 

authority of the Cultural Property 

Implementation Act, the former U.S. 

Customs Service published Treasury 

Decision (T.D.) 93–74 in the Federal 

Register (58 FR 49428) imposing 

emergency import restrictions on 

archaeological objects from the region of 

the Niger River Valley of Mali and the 

Bandiagara Escarpment (Cliff), Republic 

of Mali (Mali) and accordingly amended 

19 CFR 12.104g(b). 

On September 19, 1997, the United 

States entered into a bilateral agreement 

with Mali that continued without 

interruption the import restrictions 

previously placed on the same 

archaeological material. On September 

23, 1997, the former U.S. Customs 

Service published T.D. 97–80 in the 

Federal Register (62 FR 49594), which 

amended 19 CFR 12.104g(a) to reflect 

the imposition of these restrictions, and 

included a list designating the types of 

archaeological material covered by the 

restrictions. (T.D. 97–80 also removed 

the emergency restrictions for Mali from 

19 CFR 12.104g(b).) 

Under the Act and applicable U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

regulations (19 CFR 12.104g), the 

restrictions are effective for no more 

than five years beginning on the date on 

which the agreement enters into force 

with respect to the United States (19 

U.S.C. 2602(b)). This period may be 

extended for additional periods, each 

such period not to exceed five years, 

where it is determined that the factors 

justifying the initial agreement still 

pertain and no cause for suspension of 

the agreement exists (19 U.S.C. 2602(e); 

19 CFR 12.104g(a)). On September 20, 

2002, the former U.S. Customs Service 

published T.D. 02–55 in the Federal 

Register (67 FR 59159), which amended 

19 CFR 12.104g(a) to reflect the 

extension of these import restrictions for 

an additional period of five years until 

September 19, 2007. 

On September 19, 2007, CBP 

published CBP Decision (Dec.) 07–77 in 

the Federal Register (72 FR 53414), 

which amended 19 CFR 12.104g(a) to 

reflect the extension and amendment of 

the import restrictions for Mali. The 

2007 amendment added import 

restrictions on new subcategories of 

objects throughout Mali from the 

Paleolithic Era (Stone Age) to 

approximately the mid-eighteenth 

century in the amended Designated List 

for an additional period of five years 

until September 19, 2012. 

On September 19, 2012, CBP 

published CBP Dec. 12–14 in the 

Federal Register (77 FR 58020), which 

amended 19 CFR 12.104g(a) to reflect 

the extension of the import restrictions 

for an additional period of five years 

until September 19, 2017. 

On March 14, 2017, by publication in 

the Federal Register (82 FR 13706), the 

United States Department of State 

proposed to extend the Agreement 

between the United States and Mali 

concerning the imposition of import 

restrictions on archaeological material 

from Mali from the Paleolithic Era 

(Stone Age) to approximately the mideighteenth century. Pursuant to the 

statutory and decision-making process, 

the Designated List of materials covered 

by the restrictions is being amended to 

include certain ethnological materials, 

specifically manuscripts dating between 

the twelfth and twentieth centuries in 

paper. Thus, the Agreement now covers 

both the previously covered 

archaeological materials, as set forth in 

the Designated List published in CBP 

Dec. 07–77, and the additional 

ethnological materials (see 19 U.S.C. 

2604, authorizing the Secretary of the 

Treasury, by regulation, to promulgate 

and, when appropriate, revise the list of 

designated archaeological and/or 

ethnological materials covered by an 

agreement between State Parties to the 

Convention). 

On August 7, 2017, the Acting Under 

Secretary for Public Diplomacy and 

Public Affairs, United States 

Department of State, determined that 

the cultural heritage of Mali continues 

to be in jeopardy from pillage of certain 

archaeological materials and is also in 

jeopardy from the pillage of certain 

ethnological materials. The Acting 

Under Secretary made the necessary 

determination to extend the import 

restrictions for an additional five-year 

period to September 19, 2022, and to 

include in their coverage ethnological 

materials, specifically manuscripts 

dating between the twelfth and 

twentieth centuries in paper. An 

international agreement has been 

concluded reflecting the extension of 

the Agreement and, pursuant to the 

Agreement, the import restrictions are 

being extended, as described in this 

document and as applicable to the 

revised Designated List set forth in this 

document. Thus, CBP is amending 19 

CFR 12.104g(a) accordingly. Importation 

of covered materials from Mali will be 

restricted through September 19, 2022. 

Importation of such materials from Mali 

continues to be restricted through that 

date unless the conditions set forth in 

19 U.S.C. 2606 and 19 CFR 12.104c are 

met. 

In this document, the Designated List 

of articles that was published in CBP 

Dec. 07–77 is amended to include 

ethnological materials comprised of 

manuscripts dating between the twelfth 

and twentieth centuries in paper. The 

articles described in the Designated List 

set forth below are protected pursuant to 

the Agreement. 

Amended Designated List 

This Designated List, amended as set 

forth in this document, includes 

archaeological material that originates 

in Mali, ranging in date from the 

Paleolithic Era (Stone Age) to 

approximately the mid-eighteenth 

century A.D. These materials include, 

but are not limited to, objects of 

ceramic, leather, metal, stone, glass, 

textiles, and wood. The Designated List 

also includes a certain category of 

ethnological material, namely 

manuscripts dating between the twelfth 

and twentieth centuries in paper. The 

Designated List and more information 

on the import restrictions can be 

obtained from the Mali country section 

of the International Cultural Property 

Protection Web site at http://

exchanges.state.gov/heritage/culprop/ 

mlfact.html. 

The list set forth below is 

representative only. Any dimensions are 

approximate.

Inapplicability of Notice and Delayed 

Effective Date 

This amendment involves a foreign 

affairs function of the United States and 

is, therefore, being made without notice 

or public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 

553(a)(1). In addition, CBP has 

determined that such notice or public 

procedure would be impracticable and 

contrary to the public interest because 

the action being taken is essential to 

avoid interruption of the application of 

the existing import restrictions (5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(B)). For the same reason, a 

delayed effective date is not required 

under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3). 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

Because no notice of proposed 

rulemaking is required, the provisions 

of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not apply. 

Executive Orders 12866 and 13771 

This rule is not a significant 

regulatory action for purposes of 

Executive Order 12866 or Executive 

Order 13771. 

Signing Authority 

This regulation is being issued in 

accordance with 19 CFR 0.1(a)(1).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background on the Rulemaking 

The changes are summarized below: 

I. Video Conferencing Testimony 

The Board added language covering 

procedures applicable to deposition 

testimony contemporaneously 

transmitted by videoconference. The 

procedures cover the filing of 

applications to take depositions by 

videoconference, the safeguards 

required for the taking of 

videoconference testimony, the timing,

procedures applicable to amicus curiae 

briefs. The procedures cover the 

circumstances when motions for 

permission to file an amicus brief may 

be filed, the contents of such motions, 

replies to motions, page length of 

amicus briefs, parties’ answering briefs 

to amicus briefs, and the solicitation of 

amicus briefs by the Board. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification 

Pursuant to Section 605(b) of the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 

605(b), the Agency has determined that 

these rule amendments will not have a 

significant impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 

These rule amendments will not 

result in the expenditure by state, local, 

and tribal governments, in the aggregate, 

or by the private sector, of $100,000,000 

or more in any one year, and it will not 

significantly or uniquely affect small 

governments. Therefore, no actions are 

deemed necessary under the provisions 

of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995. 

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996 

This action is not a major rule as 

defined by Section 804 of the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996, 5 U.S.C. 804. 

These amendments will not result in an 

annual effect on the economy of 

$100,000,000 or more or a major 

increase in costs or prices, nor will 

these amendments have significant 

adverse effects on competition, 

employment, investment, productivity, 

innovation, or on the ability of United 

States-based companies to compete with 

foreign-based companies in domestic 

and export markets. 

Paperwork Reduction 

The amended regulations contain no 

additional information-collection or 

record-keeping requirements under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 

U.S.C. 3501, et seq. 

Public Participation 

This rule is published as a final rule. 

The National Labor Relations Board 

considers this rule to be a procedural 

rule which is exempt from notice and 

public comment, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(3)(A), as a rule of ‘‘agency 

organization, procedure, or practice.’’ If 

you wish to contact the Agency, please 

do so at the above listed address. 

However, before including your address,
