SUMMARY: The Charter of the Department of State's Cultural Property 
Advisory Committee (CPAC) has been renewed for an additional two years.
    The Charter of the Cultural Property Advisory Committee is being

Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act of 1983, 19 U.S.C. 
2601 et seq. It reviews requests from other countries seeking U.S. 
import restrictions on archaeological or ethnological material the 
pillage of which places a country's cultural heritage in jeopardy. The

designee who, on behalf of the President, determines whether to impose 
the import restrictions. The membership of the Committee consists of 
private sector experts in archaeology, anthropology, or ethnology; 
experts in the international sale of cultural property; and
