The Lacey Act (Act, 18 U.S.C. 42)
prohibits the importation of any animal 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. Implementation and
enforcement of the Lacey Act is the responsibility of the
Department of the Interior. The Service, in concert with our
diverse partners, works to conserve, restore, and maintain the
nation's fishery resources and aquatic ecosystems for the benefit
of the American people, to include managing and controlling four
species of invasive carp—bighead, black, grass, and silver—native
to Asia. Under the authority of the Act, the Service listed
bighead, black, and silver carp species as injurious wildlife to
protect humans, native wildlife, and wildlife resources from the
purposeful or accidental introduction of invasive carp into the
nation's aquatic ecosystems. The Service takes part in a broad,
partner-driven approach to strategically control the movement of
invasive carp. The spread of these invasive species in the nation's
river systems threatens the conservation efforts conducted by our
agency, our State partners, and other stakeholders, to promote
self-sustaining aquatic resources and healthy aquatic ecosystems.
In addition to widespread and longstanding ecological consequences,
aquatic invasive species often result in significant economic
losses and cost our nation's economy billions of dollars per year.
To effectively carry out our responsibilities under the Act and
protect the aquatic resources of the United States, the Service, in
collaboration with the U.S. Geological Survey, proposes to
administer applications of Carbon Dioxide-Carp by registered
management partners (applicators) and to collect information
regarding the usage of Carbon Dioxide-Carp, an Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) registered product #6704-95 to control
invasive carp. Carbon Dioxide-Carp is approved for use only by the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, State natural resource managers, or persons
under their direct supervision. See USGS website:
