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

    Bulgaria, 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. United States Department of 
State received this request in September 2011. Bulgaria's request seeks 
U.S. import restrictions on archaeological and ethnological material 
from Bulgaria dating to the Neolithic Period (7500 B.C.) through the 
nineteenth century A.D.
    The specific contents of this request are treated as confidential 
government-to-government information, consistent with applicable U.S. 
law.
    Information about U.S. implementation of the 1970 UNESCO Convention 
can be found at http://exchanges.state.gov/heritage. A public summary 
of Bulgaria's request will be posted on that Web site.

    Dated: September 30, 2011.
Ann Stock,
Assistant Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs, 
Department of State.
