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; to the interests of
agriculture, horticulture, and forestry; or
to wildlife or the wildlife resources of
the United States. The Department of
the Interior is charged with enforcement
of this Act. The Act and our regulations
at 50 CFR 16 allow for the importation
of animals classified as injurious if
specific criteria are met. To effectively
carry out our 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
providing 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:
(a) Name, position title, current place
of employment (with address) and work
phone number, fax number, and e-mail
address.
(b) Professional degrees.
(c) Primary duties.
(d) Areas of expertise and related
certifications.
(e) Facilities available for diagnostic
tests and available equipment.

to:
(a) Certifying official’s name and date
of most recent certification.
(b) Number, life stage, and species of
animals or eggs.
(c) Site and date of sample collection.
(d) Name and address of laboratory
conducting the assays.
(e) Site from which the animals or
eggs will be shipped.
(f) Dates of the shipment.
(g) 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

(a) Name and address of company/
agency and facility receiving animals or
eggs.
(b) Number, life stage, and species of
