Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 215 / Monday, November 7, 2011 / Notices

the CITES Secretariat 150 days
(tentatively early October 2012) prior to
the start of the meeting. In order to meet
this deadline and to prepare for CoP16,
we have developed a tentative U.S.
schedule. When we publish our next
CoP16-related Federal Register notice,
we intend to announce tentative species
proposals that the United States is
considering submitting for CoP16 and
solicit further information and
comments on them. Following
publication of that Federal Register
notice and approximately 9 months
prior to CoP16, we plan to publish a
Federal Register notice announcing
draft resolutions, draft decisions, and
agenda items to be submitted by the
United States at CoP16, and to solicit
further information and comments on
them. Approximately 4 months prior to
CoP16, we will post on our Web site an
announcement of the species proposals,
draft resolutions, draft decisions, and
agenda items submitted by the United
States to the CITES Secretariat for
consideration at CoP16.
Through a series of additional notices
and Web site postings in advance of
CoP16, we will inform you about
preliminary negotiating positions on
resolutions, decisions, and amendments
to the Appendices proposed by other
Parties for consideration at CoP16, and
about how to obtain observer status
from us. We will also publish an
announcement of a public meeting
tentatively to be held approximately
3 months prior to CoP16; that meeting
will enable us to receive public input on
our positions regarding CoP16 issues.
The procedures for developing U.S.
documents and negotiating positions for
a meeting of the Conference of the
Parties to CITES are outlined in 50 CFR
23.87. As noted in paragraph (c) of that
section, we may modify or suspend the
procedures outlined there if they would
interfere with the timely or appropriate
development of documents for
submission to the CoP and of U.S.
negotiating positions.
