This bill proposes to amend the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, specifically to facilitate the importation of polar bear trophies into the United States. It directs the Secretary of the Interior to issue permits for polar bear parts, excluding internal organs, obtained from sport hunts conducted in Canada. The key provision allows importation if the polar bear was legally harvested by the applicant before February 18, 1997 . Alternatively, permits would be issued if the polar bear was legally harvested before May 15, 2008 , from a polar bear population from which a sport-hunted trophy could be imported under prior regulations. These permits would be issued expeditiously and would waive certain existing restrictions and requirements found in other sections of the Marine Mammal Protection Act, streamlining the process for these specific historical trophies.
