Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 230 / Friday, December 3, 2021 / Rules and Regulations FR 74690 to extend the import restrictions for an additional five-year period to December 4, 2016. Third, on December 6, 2016, following the exchange of diplomatic notes, CBP
published a final rule CBP Dec. 1624
in the Federal Register 81 FR 87804 to extend the import restrictions for an additional five-year period to December 4, 2021.
On September 14, 2020, the United States Department of State proposed in the Federal Register 85 FR 56681 to extend the Memorandum of Understanding MOU between the United States and Bolivia concerning the imposition of import restrictions on certain categories of archaeological and ethnological material from Bolivia. On April 20, 2021, the Acting Assistant Secretary for Educational and Cultural Affairs, United States Department of State, after consultation with and recommendations by the Cultural Property Advisory Committee, determined that the cultural heritage of Bolivia continues to be in jeopardy from pillage of certain archaeological and ethnological material, and that the import restrictions should be extended for an additional five years. Pursuant to the exchange of diplomatic notes to extend the agreement, the import restrictions will remain in effect for an additional five years, and the CBP
regulations are being amended to reflect this further extension until December 4, 2026.
Accordingly, CBP is amending 19 CFR
12.104ga to reflect the extension of the import restrictions. The restrictions on the importation of archaeological and ethnological material are to continue in effect until December 4, 2026.

Regulatory Flexibility Act Because no notice of proposed rulemaking is required, the provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act 5
U.S.C. 601 et seq. do not apply.

CBP has determined that this document is not a regulation or rule subject to the provisions of Executive Order 12866 because it pertains to a foreign affairs function of the United States, as described above, and therefore is specifically exempted by section 3d2 of Executive Order 12866.
