H.R. 6021 — Archie Cavanaugh Migratory Bird Treaty Clarification Act

This section states the purpose of the Act is to clarify the treatment of authentic Alaska Native articles of handicraft offered for sale under the 1974 U.S.-Japan Convention for the Protection of Migratory Birds and Birds in Danger of Extinction and Their Environment.

This section directs the Secretary of State and the Secretary of the Interior, within 180 days of enactment, to establish bilateral procedures with the relevant treaty party to clarify treatment of authentic Alaska Native articles of handicraft containing nonedible migratory bird parts. It authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to modify Migratory Bird Treaty Act regulations on consignment, resale, certification of authenticity, and removal of species showing population declines or designated as Birds of Conservation Concern; requires outreach on the rules in coordination with the Alaska Migratory Bird Co-Management Council; and defines "Alaska Native," "authentic Alaska Native article of handicraft," and "Indian Tribe."
