System to support the effective
stewardship, lasting protection,
restoration, and sustainable use of the
nation’s significant natural and cultural
marine resources. The MPA Center is
charged by the Order to carry out these
requirements in cooperation with DOI.
Neither the Order nor the National
System establishes any new legal
authorities to designate or manage
MPAs, nor do they alter any existing
State, Federal, or tribal laws or
programs.
In addition, the U.S. Ocean Action
Plan (USOAP) outlines a variety of
actions for promoting the responsible
use and stewardship of ocean and
coastal resources for the benefit of all
Americans. A Cabinet-level ‘‘Committee
on Ocean Policy’’ (COP) was established
by Executive Order 13366 (December
17, 2004) to coordinate the activities of
executive branch departments and
agencies regarding ocean-related matters
in an integrated and effective manner to
advance the environmental and
economic interests of present and future
generations of Americans. The President
further directs the Executive branch
agencies to facilitate, as appropriate,
coordination and consultation regarding
ocean-related matters among Federal,
State, tribal, local governments, the
private sector, foreign governments, and
international organizations.
Subcommittees of the COP also have
been formed as part of the ocean
governance structure described in the
USOAP, including the Subcommittee on
Integrated Management of Ocean
Resources (SIMOR) and the Joint
Subcommittee on Ocean Science and
Technology. Many of the activities
outlined in the USOAP and the
subsequent work plans of the COP’s
subcommittees complement efforts to
develop the National System. Similarly,
many of the collaborative actions under
the National System may offer
opportunities to help advance the
USOAP. As these efforts proceed, the
MPA Center will work closely with
SIMOR to evaluate progress and plans
for developing the National System in
order to ensure coordination and
consistency with the USOAP’s
governance structure and overall
approach.
The MPA Center has developed this
Draft Framework based on information
from the initial analysis of information
about existing place-based conservation
efforts, along with comments from
hundreds of individuals at nearly sixty
meetings, initial tribal consultations,
and recommendations from Federal,
non-governmental and State advisory
groups. As a result, the proposed
collaborative development of an
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
effective National System outlined in
this document provides a structure for
an assemblage of MPA sites, systems,
and networks established and managed
by Federal, State, tribal, and local
governments to collectively work
together at the regional and national
levels to achieve common objectives for
conserving the nation’s vital natural and
cultural resources.
By establishing an effective structure
for working together, the National
System will help to increase the
efficient protection of important marine
resources; contribute to the nation’s
overall social and economic health;
support government agency cooperation
and integration; and improve the
public’s access to scientific information
and decision-making about the nation’s
marine resources. The efforts of the
National System are also intended to
benefit participating State, tribal,
Federal, and local government partners
through collaborative efforts to identify
shared priorities for improving MPA
effectiveness and develop partnerships
to provide assistance in meeting those
needs. Further, it provides a foundation
for cooperation with other countries to
conserve resources of common concern.
In submitting your comments on the
Draft Framework, please remember that
comments submitted by e-mail are
preferred; however, those submitted by
mail and fax will also be accepted. An
extended comment period of 145 days is
being provided in order to accommodate
the quarterly meeting schedules of some
organizations, including regional fishery
management councils.
Classification
Regulatory Planning and Review
This action is not a regulatory action
subject to E.O. 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993).
Energy Effects
NOAA and DOI have determined that
this action will have no effect on energy
supply, distribution, or use and is
therefore not a ‘‘significant energy
action’’ as defined by Executive Order
13211 (66 FR 28355, May 18, 2001). No
Statement of Energy Effects is required
and therefore none has been prepared.
Government to Government
Relationship With Tribes
E.O. 13175—Consultation and
Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments— outlines the
responsibilities of the Federal
Government regarding its policies with
tribal implications, i.e., regulations,
legislative comments or proposed
legislation, and other policy statements

effects on one or more Indian tribes, on
the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes (65 FR
67249, November 9, 2000). Pursuant to
E.O. 13175, we will consult with tribal
governments as the National System is
developed.
Administrative Procedure Act
Pursuant to authority at 5 U.S.C.
533(b)(A), prior notice and an
opportunity for public comment are not
required to be given, as this document
concerns agency procedure or practice.
Nevertheless, NOAA and DOI want the
benefit of the public’s comment and are
hereby giving prior notice and
opportunity for public comment.
