1.Pursuant to Resolution Conf. 2.14, adopted by the Conference  of
  the  Parties  at  its  second  meeting  (San  Jos‚,  1979),  the
  Management  Authorities  of Canada  and  the  United  States  of
  America have communicated to the Secretariat further information
  about the scientific institutions which they have registered and
  which  are  entitled  to the exemption for non-commercial  loan,
  donation  or exchange of museum and herbarium specimens provided
  by  Article  VII, paragraph 6, of the Convention.  The  attached
  information  updates that given in Notification to  the  Parties
  No. 751 of 7 May 1993.

2.In  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  paragraph  b  ii)  of
  Resolution  Conf.  2.14, the Management Authorities  of  Parties
  which  have  not yet done so are invited to communicate  to  the
  Secretariat  as soon as practicable the names and  addresses  of
  the  institutions registered and thus authorized  to  apply  the
  simplified  procedure provided by Article VII, paragraph  6,  of
  the  Convention, or to inform the Secretariat, as the  case  may
  be,  that  no  scientific institution of their country  will  be
  registered for that purpose.

3.When  communicating  their  lists,  Management  Authorities  are
  invited  to  assign  to each institution a  three  digit  number
  chosen  at their convenience. The two additional letters of  the
  code  will  be  attributed by the Secretariat under  the  system
  adopted  by the Conference of the Parties [see Resolution  Conf.
  2.14, paragraph x)].

4.The   Secretariat   would   also   appreciate   receiving,   for
  communication to the other Parties, samples of the  labels  used
  by all the Management Authorities concerned.

5.The  present  Notification is a continuation of Notification  to
  the Parties No. 751 of 7 May 1993.
