In T.D. 97-80, the Customs Regulations were amended to reflect the imposition of import restrictions on certain archaeological material from Mali. These restrictions were imposed pursuant to an agreement between the United States and Mali (the Agreement) that was entered into under the authority of the Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act in accordance with 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. Recently, the United States Department of State determined that conditions continue to warrant the imposition of these import restrictions for a period not to exceed five years. The Governments of the United States and Mali exchanged diplomatic notes agreeing to extend the Agreement. Thus, this document amends the Customs Regulations to reflect that the import restrictions currently in place continue, without interruption, for five years from September 19, 2002. T.D. 97-80 contains the Designated List of Archaeological Material from the Region of the Niger River Valley, Mali, and the Bandiagara Escarpment (Cliff), Mali, that describes the articles to which the restrictions and this extension of restrictions apply.
