Jkt 205001 SUMMARY: We, the Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), give notice that we are suspending import of and foreign commerce in beluga sturgeon (Huso huso) caviar and meat originating in the Caspian Sea littoral states of Azerbaijan, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Kazakhstan, the Russian Federation, and Turkmenistan effective immediately. This suspension includes shipments that have been exported directly from these countries, re-exported through an intermediary country, or transported as personal or household effects, and it prohibits foreign commerce in the course of a commercial activity. We are taking this action under the special rule that was promulgated to control the trade of threatened beluga sturgeon (Huso huso) (70 FR 10493; March 4, 2005). Interstate commerce in beluga sturgeon caviar or meat from the Caspian Sea basin that was legally imported into the United States before the trade suspension is not prohibited. DATES: This notice is effective September 30, 2005. PO 00000 Frm 00069 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Caspian Sea littoral states wishing to provide information that may allow us to lift this trade suspension may submit it by any one of several methods: 1. You may submit written information to Robert R. Gabel, Chief, Division of Scientific Authority, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 4401 North Fairfax Drive, Room 750, Arlington, Virginia 22203. 2. You may hand-deliver written information to the Division of Scientific Authority, at the above address, or fax your comments to (703) 358–2276. 3. You may send information by electronic mail (e-mail) to ScientificAuthority@fws.gov.

Gabel, Chief, Division of Scientific Authority, at the address above; telephone, (703) 358–1708; fax, (703) 358–2276.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 21, 2004, we listed beluga sturgeon as threatened (69 FR 21425) under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) (Act). We subsequently published a special rule concerning beluga sturgeon (70 FR 10493; March 4, 2005) under section 4(d) of the Act. The special rule, located at 50 CFR 17.44(y) of our regulations, promotes the conservation of the species by allowing the import, export or reexport, and interstate and foreign commerce of beluga sturgeon caviar and meat, without threatened species permits otherwise required under 50 CFR 17.32, from littoral states in the Caspian and Black Sea basins that demonstrate progress on measures to protect and recover the species. The special rule requires countries wishing to export beluga sturgeon caviar or meat to the United States under this exemption to provide, by September 6, 2005, copies of basin-wide cooperative management plans for beluga sturgeon agreed to by all littoral states in the Black Sea or Caspian Sea basin along with copies of national laws and regulations implementing the management plans. Import of and foreign commerce in Caspian Sea beluga sturgeon suspended. We have not received a management plan or copies of national ADDRESSES: E:\FR\FM\30SEN1.SGM 30SEN1
