Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 64 / Wednesday, April 4, 2007 / Notices
established the Northwestern Hawaiian
Islands Marine National Monument by
issuing Presidential Proclamation 8031
(Proclamation) (71 FR 36443, June 26,
2006) under the authority of the
Antiquities Act (16 U.S.C. 431) (Act).
On February 28, 2007, President Bush
amended the Proclamation to give it a
Native Hawaiian name, chosen by
Native Hawaiians, that reflects
Hawaiian language and culture. On
March 2, 2007, the First Lady, Mrs.
Laura Bush, presented the new name,
¯
¯
Papahanaumokuakea Marine National
Monument, to the public.
Proclamation 8031 reserves all lands
and interests in lands owned or
controlled by the Government of the
United States in the Northwestern
Hawaiian Islands (NWHI), including
emergent and submerged lands and
waters out to a distance of
approximately 50 nautical miles (nmi)
from the islands. The Monument is
approximately 100 nmi wide and
extends approximately 1,200 miles
around coral islands, seamounts, banks,
and shoals. The area includes the
Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Coral
Reef Ecosystem Reserve, the Midway
Atoll National Wildlife Refuge/Battle of
Midway National Memorial, the
Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife
Refuge, the Hawai1i State Seabird
Sanctuary at Kure Atoll, and NWHI
State Marine Refuge. The Secretaries of
Commerce and the Interior, and the
Governor of Hawai1i signed a
Memorandum of Agreement on
December 8, 2006, to jointly manage
Federal and State lands and waters
within the Monument as Co-Trustees, to
collectively protect, conserve, and
enhance Monument fish, plant, and
wildlife habitats, including coral reefs
and other marine and terrestrial
resources.
During the last 5 years, as part of the
National Marine Sanctuary designation
process, NOAA actively sought input
from Federal and State entities, Native
Hawaiian leaders, the Northwestern
Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem
Reserve Advisory Council, and the
public to develop a Draft Sanctuary
Management Plan (available on the
Internet at: https://
www.hawaiireef.noaa.gov). More than
52,000 public comments were received
during the sanctuary designation
process. The Proclamation recognizes
these efforts by directing the Secretary
of Commerce, in consultation with the
Secretary of the Interior and the State of
Hawai1i, to modify, as appropriate, the
draft Sanctuary Management Plan for
management of the Monument. Another
document relevant to Monument
management, the Draft Interim Visitor

Services Plan for the Midway Atoll
National Wildlife Refuge, the Battle of
Midway National Memorial, and the
Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Marine
National Monument’s Midway Atoll
Special Management Area, was
distributed for public review in
December 2006. Comments submitted
during the Sanctuary designation
process and comments received on
Midway’s Visitor Services Plan
regarding issues that are subject to
decision by the Co-Trustees (that is, not
already decided by the President and
memorialized in the Proclamation) will
be considered when the agencies are
determining the scope of the Monument
Plan and during development of the
Draft Monument Plan. Any additional
comments at this stage should be
focused on any new environmental
issues identified as a result of new
information or changed circumstances
since the comment periods identified
above. The Co-Trustees will develop comanagement strategies and activities to
meet the needs of FWS, NOAA, and
DLNR in the Monument Plan.
The National Wildlife Refuge System
Administration Act of 1966 (Refuge
Administration Act), as amended by the
National Wildlife Refuge System
Improvement Act of 1997 (16 U.S.C.
668dd–668ee), requires the FWS to
develop a comprehensive conservation
plan (CCP) for each national wildlife
refuge. The purpose in developing a
CCP is to provide refuge managers with
a 15-year strategy for achieving refuge
purposes and contributing toward the
mission of the National Wildlife Refuge
System, consistent with sound
principles of fish and wildlife
management, conservation, legal
mandates, and FWS policies. In
addition to outlining broad management
direction on conserving wildlife and
their habitats, CCPs identify wildlifedependent recreational opportunities
available to the public. The State
maintains its existing responsibility for
managing State waters in the
Monument, including the NWHI State
Marine Refuge and Hawai1i State
Seabird Sanctuary at Kure Atoll. NOAA
maintains responsibility for the NWHI
Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve, included
within the Monument, and has primary
responsibility regarding the
management of the marine areas of the
Monument, in consultation with FWS.
It is the intent of the Co-Trustees to
integrate agency planning and
operational needs into a single
Monument Plan. A draft Monument
Plan will be distributed for public
review and comment early in 2008. The
Co-Trustees will also develop an
environmental assessment in
