Abstract
We, the Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), amend regulations implementing the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 (MMPA), as amended. This action revises our existing definition of "authentic native articles of handicrafts and clothing" to reflect a December 28, 1992, Court ruling, which found that our regulation defining "authentic native articles of handicrafts and clothing" is inconsistent with the MMPA.
