Live black carp, gametes, viable eggs, and hybrids can be imported only by permit for scientific, medical, educational, or zoological purposes, or without a permit by Federal agencies solely for their own use. Interstate transportation of live black carp, gametes, viable eggs, and hybrids currently held within the United States will be allowed only by permit. Interstate transportation permits may be issued for scientific, medical, educational, or zoological purposes. DATES: This rule is effective for all forms of live black carp on November 19, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background In February 2000, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service or we) received a petition from the Mississippi Interstate Cooperative Resources Association (MICRA) to list the black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) under the injurious wildlife provision of the Lacey Act (18 U.S.C. 42). The petition was based upon concerns about the potential impacts of black carp on native freshwater mussels and snails in the Mississippi River basin. In October 2002, the Service received a petition signed by 25 members of Congress representing the Great Lakes region to add black, bighead, and silver carp to the list of injurious wildlife under the Lacey Act. A follow-up letter identified seven additional Legislators who supported the petition. Summary of Previous Actions On June 2, 2000, we published in the Federal Register (65 FR 35314) an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR) to seek comments on whether or not we should propose to list black carp E:\FR\FM\18OCR1.SGM 18OCR1
