Notice of Receipt of Cultural Property Request From the 
Government of the Republic of Honduras

AGENCY: Department of State.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Government of the Republic of Honduras, concerned that its 
cultural heritage is in jeopardy from pillage, made a request to the 
Government of the United States under Article 9 of the 1970 UNESCO 
Convention. The request was received on August 22, 2001, by the United 
States Department of State. It seeks U.S. import restrictions on Pre-
Columbian archaeological material that includes certain categories of 
ceramic, stone, metal, shell, and bone artifacts.
    In accordance with provisions of the Convention on Cultural 
Property Implementation Act (19 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.), the request will 
be submitted for review by the Cultural Property Advisory Committee 
that will report on its findings and recommendations.
    A Public Summary of the Honduras Request and information about the 
Act and U.S. implementation of the 1970 UNESCO Convention can be found
