Marine Mammals; Native Exemptions

We, the Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to amend regulations implementing the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 (MMPA), as amended. This action would revise 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.
