Department of the Treasury January 19, 2006 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This document amends the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations to indicate the extension of the import restrictions that were imposed by Treasury Decision 01-06 on certain archaeological material originating in Italy and representing the pre- Classical, Classical, and Imperial Roman periods of its cultural heritage, ranging in date from approximately the 9th century B.C. through approximately the 4th century A.D. that were imposed by Treasury Decision (T.D.) 01-06. The Assistant Secretary for Educational and Cultural Affairs, United States Department of State, has determined that conditions continue to warrant the imposition of import restrictions. Accordingly, the restrictions will remain in effect for an additional 5 years, and the CBP regulations are being amended to reflect this extension. These restrictions are being extended pursuant to determinations of the United States Department of State made under the terms of the Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act in accordance with the 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. T.D. 01-06 contains the Designated List of archaeological material originating in Italy and representing the pre- Classical, Classical, and Imperial Roman periods of its cultural heritage, ranging in date from approximately the 9th century B.C. through approximately the 4th century A.D.
