# 16 U.S.C. § 4907 - Moratoria for species not covered by Convention
|
||
|
||
## Text
|
||
|
||
(a) In general The Secretary shall—
|
||
|
||
(1) review periodically the trade in species of exotic birds that are not listed in any Appendix to the Convention; and
|
||
|
||
(2) after notice and an opportunity for public comment, establish a moratorium or quota on—
|
||
|
||
(A) importation of any species of exotic birds from one or more countries of origin for the species, if the Secretary determines that—
|
||
|
||
(i) the findings described in section 4905(c)(2), (3), and (4) of this title cannot be made with respect to the species; and
|
||
|
||
(ii) the moratorium or quota is necessary for the conservation of the species or is otherwise consistent with the purpose of this chapter; or
|
||
|
||
(B) the importation of all species of exotic birds from a particular country, if—
|
||
|
||
(i) the country has not developed and implemented a management program for exotic birds in trade generally, that ensures both the conservation and the humane treatment of exotic birds during capture, transport, and maintenance; and
|
||
|
||
(ii) the Secretary finds that the moratorium or quota is necessary for the conservation of the species or is otherwise consistent with the purpose of this chapter.
|
||
|
||
(b) Termination of quota or moratorium The Secretary shall terminate a quota or moratorium established under subsection (a) if the Secretary finds that the reasons for establishing the quota or moratorium no longer exist.
