        <RULE_TITLE>Import Restrictions Imposed On Certain Archaeological Materials From China</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule amends the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations to reflect the imposition of import restrictions on certain archaeological material from China. These restrictions are being imposed pursuant to an agreement between the United States and the Government of the Peoples Republic of China that will be entered into under the authority of the Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act in accordance with the 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 in December 2008. The final rule amends CBP regulations by adding China to the list of countries for which a bilateral agreement has been entered into for imposing cultural property import restrictions. The final rule also contains the designated list that describes the types of archaeological articles to which the restrictions apply.]]></ABSTRACT>
