does not warrant preparation of a
regulatory evaluation as the anticipated
impact is so minimal. Since this is a
routine matter that only affects air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when
promulgated, does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
The FAA has determined that this
action qualifies for categorical exclusion
under the National Environmental
Policy Act in accordance with FAA
Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental
Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’
paragraph 5–6.5.a. This airspace action
is not expected to cause any potentially
significant environmental impacts, and
no extraordinary circumstances exist
that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This document amends the
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) regulations to reflect an extension
of import restrictions on certain
archaeological and ecclesiastical
ethnological material from Colombia.
The restrictions, which were originally
imposed by CBP Dec. 06–09 and last
extended by CBP Dec. 16–05, are due to
expire on March 15, 2021. The Assistant
Secretary for Educational and Cultural
Affairs, United States Department of
State, has made the requisite
determinations for extending the import
restrictions that previously existed, and
the Government of the United States
and the Government of Colombia
entered into a new agreement to reflect
the extension of these import
restrictions. The new agreement, which
enters into force on March 10, 2021,
supersedes the existing Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) that became
effective on March 15, 2006, and
enabled the promulgation of the existing
import restrictions. Accordingly, the
import restrictions will remain in effect
for an additional five years, and the CBP
regulations are being amended to reflect
this further extension until March 10,
2026. CBP Dec. 06–09 contains the
amended Designated List of
archaeological and ecclesiastical
ethnological material from Colombia to
which the restrictions apply.
DATES: Effective on March 10, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Pursuant to the Convention on
Cultural Property Implementation Act,
Public Law 97–446, 19 U.S.C. 2601 et
seq., which implements the 1970 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 (823 U.N.T.S. 231 (1972)), the
United States entered into a
Memorandum of Understanding, titled
‘‘Memorandum of Understanding
Between the Government of the United
States of America and the Government
of the Republic of Colombia Concerning
the Imposition of Import Restrictions on
Archaeological Material from the PreColumbian Cultures and Certain
Ecclesiastical Ethnological Material
from the Colonial Period of Colombia’’
(MOU), with the Republic of Colombia
(Colombia) on March 15, 2006. The
MOU enabled the promulgation of
import restrictions on certain
archaeological material representing
Colombia’s pre-Colombian cultures and
ranging in date from approximately
1500 B.C. to A.D. 1530, and Colombian
ecclesiastical ethnological material of
the Colonial period ranging in date from
approximately A.D. 1530 to 1830. On
March 17, 2006, CBP published CBP
Dec. 06–09 in the Federal Register (71
FR 13757), which amended 19 CFR
12.104g(a) to reflect the imposition of
these restrictions and included a list
designating the types of articles covered
by the restrictions.
Import restrictions listed at 19 CFR
12.104g(a) are effective for no more than
five years beginning on the date on
which the agreement enters into force
with respect to the United States. This
period may be extended for additional
periods of not more than five years if it
is determined that the factors which
justified the initial agreement still
pertain and no cause for suspension of
the agreement exists.
Since the initial notice was published
on March 17, 2006, the import
restrictions were subsequently extended
two (2) times. First, on March 15, 2011,
following the exchange of diplomatic
notes, CBP published a final rule (CBP
E:\FR\FM\12MRR1.SGM
12MRR1
13994
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 47 / Friday, March 12, 2021 / Rules and Regulations
Dec. 11–06) in the Federal Register (76
FR 13879) to extend the import
restrictions for a period of five years to
March 15, 2016. Second, on March 15,
2016, following the exchange of
diplomatic notes, CBP published a final
rule (CBP Dec. 16–05) in the Federal
Register (81 FR 13721) to extend the
import restriction for an additional fiveyear period to March 15, 2021.
On June 8, 2020, the United States
Department of State proposed in the
Federal Register (85 FR 35156) to
extend the MOU between the United
States and Colombia concerning the
imposition of import restrictions on
certain categories of archeological and
ecclesiastical ethnological material from
Colombia. On January 6, 2021, the
Assistant Secretary for Educational and
Cultural Affairs, United States
Department of State, after consultation
with and recommendations by the
Cultural Property Advisory Committee,
determined that the cultural heritage of
Colombia continues to be in jeopardy
from pillage of certain archaeological
and ecclesiastical ethnological material,
and that the import restrictions should
be extended for an additional five years.
Subsequently, on March 4, 2021, the
Government of the United States and
Government of Colombia entered into a
new agreement, titled ‘‘Agreement
between the Government of the United
States of America and the Government
of the Republic of Colombia Concerning
the Imposition of Import Restrictions on
Categories of Archaeological and
Ethnological Materials of the Republic
of Colombia,’’ which is effective on
March 10, 2021. The new agreement
supersedes the existing MOU that first
entered into force on March 15, 2006.
Pursuant to the new agreement, the
import restrictions will remain in effect
for an additional five years.
Accordingly, CBP is amending 19 CFR
12.104g(a) to reflect the extension of the
import restrictions. The restrictions on
the importation of archaeological and
ecclesiastical ethnological material are
to continue in effect until March 10,
2026. Importation of such material from
Colombia continues to be restricted
through that date unless the conditions
set forth in 19 U.S.C. 2606 and 19 CFR
12.104c are met.

amended as set forth below:
PART 12—SPECIAL CLASSES OF
MERCHANDISE
1. The general authority citation for
part 12 and the specific authority
citation for § 12.104g continue to read as
follows:
■
This amendment involves a foreign
affairs function of the United States and
is, therefore, being made without notice

553(a)(1). For the same reason, a
delayed effective date is not required
under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3).
Regulatory Flexibility Act
Because no notice of proposed
rulemaking is required, the provisions
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not apply.
Executive Order 12866
CBP has determined that this
document is not a regulation or rule
subject to the provisions of Executive
Order 12866 because it pertains to a
foreign affairs function of the United
States, as described above, and therefore
is specifically exempted by section
3(d)(2) of Executive Order 12866.

AGENCY:
On February 1, 2021, the
Department of Labor (DOL or
Department) proposed to delay the
effective date of the final rule entitled
‘‘Strengthening Wage Protections for the
Temporary and Permanent Employment
of Certain Aliens in the United States,’’

the proposal, the 60-day delay would
allow agency officials the opportunity to
review any questions of fact, law, or
policy. The Department invited written
comments from the public for 15 days
on the proposed delay of effective date.
All comments had to be received by
February 16, 2021. The Department
received 57 comments from the

stakeholder community. The
Department has reviewed the comments
received in response to the proposal and
will delay the effective date of the final

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background and Basis for Proposed
Delay
On January 14, 2021, the Department
published a final rule in the Federal
Register, which adopted with changes
an Interim Final Rule (IFR) that
amended Employment and Training
Administration (ETA) regulations
governing the prevailing wages for
employment opportunities that United
States (U.S.) employers seek to fill with
foreign workers on a permanent or
temporary basis through certain
employment-based immigrant visas or
through H–1B, H–1B1, or E–3 nonimmigrant visas. Specifically, the IFR
amended the Department’s regulations
governing permanent (PERM) labor
certifications and Labor Condition
Applications (LCAs) to incorporate
changes to the computation of wage
levels under the Department’s fourtiered wage structure based on the
Occupational Employment Statistics
(OES) wage survey administered by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). 86 FR
3608. Although the final rule contained
an effective date of March 15, 2021, the
Department also included a delayed
implementation period under which
adjustments to the new wage levels will
not begin until July 1, 2021. 86 FR 3608,
3642. A general overview of the labor
certification and prevailing wage
process as well as further background
on the rulemaking is available in the
Department’s final rule, as published in
the Federal Register on January 14,
2021, and will not be restated herein.
On February 1, 2021, the Department
published a notice in the Federal
Register proposing to delay the effective
date of the final rule for 60 days from
PO 00000
Frm 00025
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
13995
March 15, 2021, until May 14, 2021. The
Department based this action on the
Presidential directive as expressed in
the memorandum of January 20, 2021,
from the Assistant to the President and
Chief of Staff, entitled ‘‘Regulatory
Freeze Pending Review.’’ The
memorandum directs agencies to
consider delaying the effective date for
regulations for the purpose of reviewing
questions of fact, law, and policy raised
therein. Accordingly, ETA proposed to
delay the effective date for the final rule
entitled ‘‘Strengthening Wage
Protections for the Temporary and
Permanent Employment of Certain
Aliens in the United States’’ to May 14,
2021, given the complexity of the
regulation.
II. Public Comments Received
The Department invited written
comment in its February 1, 2021 notice
on its proposal to delay the effective
date of the final rule, including the
proposed delay’s impact on any legal,
factual, or policy issues raised by the
underlying final rule and whether
further review of those issues warrants
such a delay. The Department further
stated that all other comments on the
underlying final rule would be
considered to be outside the scope of
this rulemaking. The February 1, 2021
notice provided a 15-day comment
period on the proposed delay, with
comments to be submitted electronically
at https://www.regulations.gov/ using
docket number ETA–2020–0006.
ETA received 57 unique comments on
its proposal to delay the effective date
by 60 days to May 14, 2021. Of the 57
comments, 36 were reviewed and
determined out of scope either because
they were comments exclusively on the
final rule and did not address the
proposed delay, concerned another
agency’s rule, or were general
statements. The remaining 21 comments
were reviewed and determined within
the scope of the request for comments.
Of these, 17 commenters supported the
delay. Four commenters opposed the
delay based on their overall support of
the final rule.
A. Comments Supporting a Delayed
Effective Date
Seventeen commenters supported the
proposed delay of the effective date of
the final rule, citing disapproval of the
final rule overall, concerns that the
process in adopting the final rule was
rushed, fears that the wage data
supporting the final rule was inaccurate,
and the need to more thoroughly review
the final rule. One commenter stated it
is in favor of the proposed delay of
effective date and provided a policy

Extension of Import Restrictions Imposed on Certain

AGENCY: U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Department of Homeland

ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document amends the U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) regulations to reflect an extension of import restrictions on
certain archaeological and ecclesiastical ethnological material from
Colombia. The restrictions, which were originally imposed by CBP Dec.
06-09 and last extended by CBP Dec. 16-05, are due to expire on March
15, 2021. The Assistant Secretary for Educational and Cultural Affairs,
United States Department of State, has made the requisite
determinations for extending the import restrictions that previously
existed, and the Government of the United States and the Government of
Colombia entered into a new agreement to reflect the extension of these
import restrictions. The new agreement, which enters into force on
March 10, 2021, supersedes the existing Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) that became effective on March 15, 2006, and enabled the
promulgation of the existing import restrictions. Accordingly, the
import restrictions will remain in effect for an additional five years,
and the CBP regulations are being amended to reflect this further
extension until March 10, 2026. CBP Dec. 06-09 contains the amended
Designated List of archaeological and ecclesiastical ethnological
material from Colombia to which the restrictions apply.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Pursuant to the Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act,
Public Law 97-446, 19 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., which implements the 1970
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
(823 U.N.T.S. 231 (1972)), the United States entered into a Memorandum
of Understanding, titled ``Memorandum of Understanding Between the
Government of the United States of America and the Government of the
Republic of Colombia Concerning the Imposition of Import Restrictions
on Archaeological Material from the Pre-Columbian Cultures and Certain
Ecclesiastical Ethnological Material from the Colonial Period of
Colombia'' (MOU), with the Republic of Colombia (Colombia) on March 15,
2006. The MOU enabled the promulgation of import restrictions on
certain archaeological material representing Colombia's pre-Colombian
cultures and ranging in date from approximately 1500 B.C. to A.D. 1530,
and Colombian ecclesiastical ethnological material of the Colonial
period ranging in date from approximately A.D. 1530 to 1830. On March
17, 2006, CBP published CBP Dec. 06-09 in the Federal Register (71 FR
13757), which amended 19 CFR 12.104g(a) to reflect the imposition of
these restrictions and included a list designating the types of
articles covered by the restrictions.
Import restrictions listed at 19 CFR 12.104g(a) are effective for
no more than five years beginning on the date on which the agreement
enters into force with respect to the United States. This period may be
extended for additional periods of not more than five years if it is
determined that the factors which justified the initial agreement still
pertain and no cause for suspension of the agreement exists.
Since the initial notice was published on March 17, 2006, the
import restrictions were subsequently extended two (2) times. First, on
March 15, 2011, following the exchange of diplomatic notes, CBP
published a final rule (CBP
[[Page 13994]]
Dec. 11-06) in the Federal Register (76 FR 13879) to extend the import
restrictions for a period of five years to March 15, 2016. Second, on
March 15, 2016, following the exchange of diplomatic notes, CBP
published a final rule (CBP Dec. 16-05) in the Federal Register (81 FR
13721) to extend the import restriction for an additional five-year
period to March 15, 2021.
On June 8, 2020, the United States Department of State proposed in
the Federal Register (85 FR 35156) to extend the MOU between the United
States and Colombia concerning the imposition of import restrictions on
certain categories of archeological and ecclesiastical ethnological
material from Colombia. On January 6, 2021, the Assistant Secretary for
Educational and Cultural Affairs, United States Department of State,
after consultation with and recommendations by the Cultural Property
Advisory Committee, determined that the cultural heritage of Colombia
continues to be in jeopardy from pillage of certain archaeological and
ecclesiastical ethnological material, and that the import restrictions
should be extended for an additional five years. Subsequently, on March
4, 2021, the Government of the United States and Government of Colombia
entered into a new agreement, titled ``Agreement between the Government
of the United States of America and the Government of the Republic of
Colombia Concerning the Imposition of Import Restrictions on Categories
of Archaeological and Ethnological Materials of the Republic of
Colombia,'' which is effective on March 10, 2021. The new agreement
supersedes the existing MOU that first entered into force on March 15,
2006. Pursuant to the new agreement, the import restrictions will
remain in effect for an additional five years.
Accordingly, CBP is amending 19 CFR 12.104g(a) to reflect the
extension of the import restrictions. The restrictions on the
importation of archaeological and ecclesiastical ethnological material
are to continue in effect until March 10, 2026. Importation of such
material from Colombia continues to be restricted through that date
unless the conditions set forth in 19 U.S.C. 2606 and 19 CFR 12.104c
are met.
The Designated List and additional information may also be found at
the following website address: https://eca.state.gov/cultural-heritage-center/cultural-property-advisory-committee/current-import-restrictions
by selecting the material for ``Colombia.''
Inapplicability of Notice and Delayed Effective Date
This amendment involves a foreign affairs function of the United
States and is, therefore, being made without notice or public procedure
under 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1). For the same reason, a delayed effective date
is not required under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3).
Regulatory Flexibility Act
Because no notice of proposed rulemaking is required, the
provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do
not apply.
Executive Order 12866
CBP has determined that this document is not a regulation or rule
subject to the provisions of Executive Order 12866 because it pertains
to a foreign affairs function of the United States, as described above,
and therefore is specifically exempted by section 3(d)(2) of Executive
Order 12866.
