SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Lacey Act (16 U.S.C. 3371 et seq.), first enacted in 1900 and 
significantly amended in 1981, is the United States' oldest wildlife 
protection statute. The Act combats trafficking in illegally taken 
wildlife, fish, or plants. The Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 
2008, effective May 22, 2008, amended the Lacey Act by expanding its 
protection to a broader range of plants and plant products (section 
8204, Prevention of Illegal Logging Practices). The Lacey Act now makes 
it unlawful to import, export, transport, sell, receive, acquire, or 
purchase in interstate or foreign commerce any plant, with some limited 
exceptions, taken, possessed, transported, or sold in violation of any 
law of the United States or an Indian tribe, or in violation of any 
State or foreign law that protects plants or that regulates certain 
specified plant-related activities. The Lacey Act also now makes it 
unlawful to make or submit any false record, account, or label for, or 
any false identification of, any plant.
    In addition, section 3 of the Lacey Act, as amended, makes it 
unlawful, beginning December 15, 2008, to import certain plants, 
including plant products, without an import declaration. The 
declaration must contain the scientific name of the plant, value of the 
importation, quantity of the plant, and name of the country from which 
the plant was harvested. For paper and paperboard products containing 
recycled content, the declaration also must include the average percent 
of recycled content without regard for species or country of harvest. 
The plant import declaration requirement does not apply to plants used 
exclusively as packaging material to support, protect, or carry another 
item, unless the packaging material itself is the item being imported. 
Currently, enforcement of the declaration requirement is being phased 
in, as described in four notices we published in the Federal 
Register,\1\ the first on February 3, 2009 (74 FR 5911-5913, Docket No. 
APHIS-2008-0119), the second on September 2, 2009 (74 FR 45415-45418, 
Docket No. APHIS-2008-0119), the third on February 6, 2015 (80 FR 6681-
6683, Docket No. APHIS-2008-0119), and the fourth on July 2, 2021 (86 
FR 35259-35261, Docket No. APHIS-2008-0119).

    \1\ To view these notices and the comments we received, go to 
<a href="http://www.regulations.gov">http://www.regulations.gov</a> and enter APHIS-2008-0119 in the Search 
field.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In our February 2009 notice, we committed to providing affected 
individuals and industry with at least 6 months' notice for any 
products that would be added to the phase-in schedule. The phased-in 
enforcement schedule began April 1, 2009. The most recent phase (VI) 
began on October 1, 2021. The enforcement schedule is available on the 
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) website at <a href="https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/planthealth/import-information/lacey-act">https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/planthealth/import-information/lacey-act</a>. We continue to consider the applicability of the declaration 
requirement to products not included in the current phase-in schedule 
and we invite public comment on how the declaration requirement should 
be enforced as to these products.
    Phase VII of the enforcement schedule, which would begin on 
December 1, 2024, is described below. We invite public comment on the 
products covered under this phase of the plan, as well as on whether 
any additional Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) chapters should be 
included in the current phase-in schedule. Should there be additions to 
phase VII, we intend to provide at least 6 months' notice to persons 
and industries affected by those changes to facilitate compliance with 
the new requirements. Changes will be announced in the Federal 
Register. For the full description of the HTS chapters, please refer to 
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule at <a href="http://usitc.gov">usitc.gov</a>.
