Title: Revision of Regulations Implementing the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES); Results of Fourteenth Meeting of the Conference of the Parties (CoP14)
Abstract: We, the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), propose to revise the regulations that implement CITES (50 CFR part 23) by incorporating certain provisions related to the results of CoP14. These changes will bring U.S. regulations in line with revisions adopted at the most recent meeting of the Conference of the Parties to CITES (June 2007). The revised regulations will help us more effectively promote species conservation, fulfill our responsibilities under CITES, and help those affected by CITES to understand how to conduct lawful international trade in wildlife and wildlife products.
