Title: Lacey Act Declaration
Requirements; Plants and Plant
Products.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0349.
Summary of Collection: The Lacey
Act, first enacted in 1900 and
significantly amended in 1988, is the
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:01 Oct 25, 2012
Jkt 229001
United States’ oldest Wildlife Protection
Statute. The Act combats trafficking in
‘‘illegal’’ wildlife, fish, or plants. The
Food, Conservation and Energy Act of
2008, which took effect 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).
Need and Use of the Information:
Under the amended Lacey Act,
importers are required to submit a
declaration form (PPQ–505) for certain
plants and plant products and PPQ–
(505B) supplemental form to provide
the declarer additional space to enter
the required information, if needed. The
declaration must contain, among other
things, 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. If
species varies or is unknown, importers
will have to declare the name of each
species that may have been used to
produce the product. This information
will be used to support investigations
into illegal logging practices by the
Justice Department and also acts as a
deterrent to illegal logging practices
worldwide.
