his
responsibilities
to
conserve
migratory
nongame birds under existing authorities pro-

and section 8A(e) of the Endangered Species Act
[16 U.S.C. 1537a(e)] implementing the Convention

in the Western Hemisphere:
(1) monitor and assess population trends and
status of species, subspecies, and populations
of all migratory nongame birds;
(2) identify the effects of environmental
changes and human activities on species, sub-
species, and populations of all migratory
nongame birds;
(3) identify species, subspecies, and popu-
lations of all migratory nongame birds that,
without additional conservation actions, are
likely to become candidates for listing under
the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amend-
ed (16 U.S.C. 1531–1543);
(4) identify conservation actions to assure
that species, subspecies, and populations of
migratory nongame birds identified under
paragraph (3) do not reach the point at which
the measures provided pursuant to the Endan-
gered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16
U.S.C. 1531–1543) become necessary; and
(5) identify lands and waters in the United
States and other nations in the Western Hemi-

quisition will foster the conservation of spe-
cies, subspecies, and populations of migratory
nongame birds, including those identified in
paragraph (3).
(b) Reports
Within one year after November 14, 1988, and
at five-year intervals thereafter, the Secretary
shall prepare a report that presents the results
of the activities taken pursuant to subsection

fied pursuant to paragraph (4) of subsection (a)
of this section. Such reports shall be submitted
to the Committee on Environment and Public
Works of the United States Senate and to the
Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries of
the United States House of Representatives.

**(a) Findings** The Congress finds and declares that—
(1) various species of fish, wildlife, and plants in the United States have been rendered extinct as a consequence of economic growth and development untempered by adequate concern and conservation;
(2) other species of fish, wildlife, and plants have been so depleted in numbers that they are in danger of or threatened with extinction;
(3) these species of fish, wildlife, and plants are of esthetic, ecological, educational, historical, recreational, and scientific value to the Nation and its people;
(4) the United States has pledged itself as a sovereign state in the international community to conserve to the extent practicable the various species of fish or wildlife and plants facing extinction, pursuant to—
(A) migratory bird treaties with Canada and Mexico;
(B) the Migratory and Endangered Bird Treaty with Japan;
(C) the Convention on Nature Protection and Wildlife Preservation in the Western Hemisphere;
(D) the International Convention for the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries;
(E) the International Convention for the High Seas Fisheries of the North Pacific Ocean;
(F) the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora; and
(G) other international agreements; and
(5) encouraging the States and other interested parties, through Federal financial assistance and a system of incentives, to develop and maintain conservation programs which meet national and international standards is a key to meeting the Nation’s international commitments and to better safeguarding, for the benefit of all citizens, the Nation’s heritage in fish, wildlife, and plants.
