#  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 at http://exchanges.state.gov/education/culprop.

Dated: September 17, 2001.

Helena Kane Finn,

Acting Assistant Secretary for Educational and Cultural Affairs, U.S. Department of State.
