Determination by the Department of State Regarding Shrimp Imports From the Northern Prawn Fishery of Australia

摘要

The Department of State has determined that shrimp harvested in Australia's Northern Prawn Fishery in Australia ("NPF") are harvested in a manner that does not pose a threat of the incidental taking of sea turtles. Accordingly, the prohibitions on the importation of shrimp set forth in Section 609 of Public Law 101-162 do not apply to shrimp harvested in the Northern Prawn Fishery.
