571—77.1(481B) Definitions. As used in this rule:
“Endangered species” means any species of fish, plant life, or wildlife which is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant part of its range.
“Special concern species” means any species about which problems of status or distribution are suspected, but not documented, and for which no special protection is afforded under this rule.
“Threatened species” means any species which is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range.

	77.4(1) Trophies lawfully taken by persons licensed to hunt or fish (not including trapping or commercial harvest licenses) in another state, country or territory may be brought into this state and possessed, held for processing and processed but may not be sold or offered for sale.
	77.4(2) Furs or skins of wildlife species appearing on the state list of endangered and threatened species which were lawfully taken or purchased in another state, country or territory may be imported, exported, purchased, possessed, bartered, offered for sale, sold, held for processing, or processed in this state if they are tagged or permanently marked by the state, country, or territory of origin.
	77.4(3) Species of live animals appearing on the state list of endangered and threatened species may be imported, exported, possessed, purchased, bartered, offered for sale, or sold under the terms of a scientific collecting permit or educational project permit issued pursuant to Iowa Code section 481A.6 and administrative rules adopted by the department.
	77.4(4) Plants, seeds, roots, and other parts of plants which appear on the state list of endangered and threatened plants which were lawfully taken or purchased in another state, country or territory may be imported, exported, purchased, possessed, offered for sale or sold in this state.
	77.4(5) A part or product of a species of fish or wildlife appearing on the state list of endangered or threatened species which enters the state from another state or from a point outside the territorial limits of the United States may enter, be transported, exported, possessed, sold, offered for sale, held for processing or processed in accordance with the terms of a permit issued by the agency of jurisdiction in the state of origin or, if entering from outside the United States, a federal permit issued by the United States government. If proper documentation is available, a person may buy or offer to buy a part or product of a species of fish or wildlife appearing on the state or federal lists as long as it is imported from a legal source outside this state and proper documentation is provided.
	77.4(6) If a person possesses a species of fish or wildlife or a part, product or offspring of such a species, proper documentation such as receipt of purchase and the permit from the state of origin or the U.S. government must be presented upon request of any conservation officer. Failure to produce such documentation is a violation of this chapter and will constitute grounds for forfeiture to the Iowa DNR.
	77.4(7) A species of plant, fish or wildlife appearing on the state list of endangered and threatened species may be collected, held, salvaged and possessed under the terms of a scientific collecting permit issued pursuant to Iowa Code section 481A.6 and administrative rules adopted by the department.

	77.4(9) The department may enter into an agreement with a private landowner for habitat improvements that benefit endangered and threatened species while limiting the potential impacts to the landowner arising when a covered species becomes more numerous due to the voluntary improvements to the habitat. If any covered species becomes more numerous as a result of the landowner’s voluntary actions, a private landowner who commits to implement voluntary conservation measures for a listed species will not be required to implement additional measures, and additional land, water, or resource use restrictions will not be imposed.
	a. 	The department will provide participating landowners with technical assistance to develop landowner incentive program agreements. Each agreement shall include the following:
	1.	Landowner’s name.
	2.	Legal description of the property covered by the agreement.

This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code chapter 481B.
