Abstract

This document amends the Customs Regulations to reflect the imposition of import restrictions on pre-Columbian culturally significant archaeological artifacts of Maya material from the Peten Lowlands, and related pre-Columbian material from the Highlands and the Southern Coast of Guatemala. These restrictions are being imposed pursuant to an agreement between the United States and Guatemala that has been entered into under the authority 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. The document also contains the Designated List of Archaeological Material that describes the articles to which the restrictions apply. These import restrictions imposed pursuant to the bilateral agreement between the United States and Guatemala continue the import restrictions that were imposed on an emergency basis in 1991. Accordingly, this document amends the Customs Regulations by removing Guatemala from the listing of countries for which emergency actions imposed the import restrictions and adding Guatemala to the list of countries for which an agreement has been entered into for imposing import restrictions.
