SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
I. Statutory and Regulatory Background
On June 15, 2006, President Bush
established the Northwestern Hawaiian
Islands Marine National Monument
(Monument) by issuing Presidential
Proclamation 8031 (Proclamation; 71 FR
36443, June 26, 2006) under the
authority of the Antiquities Act (Act)
(16 U.S.C. 431). The Proclamation
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 outer boundary of
the Monument is approximately 100
nmi wide and extends approximately
1200 nmi 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, and the Hawaiian Islands
National Wildlife Refuge. The
Monument was renamed the
Papahanaumokuakea Marine National
Monument by Proclamation 8112 (72 FR
10029, February 28, 2007).
The Proclamation provides that the
Secretary of Commerce, through NOAA,
has primary responsibility regarding the
management of the marine areas of the
Monument, in consultation with the
Secretary of the Interior. The Secretary
of the Interior, through the USFWS, has
sole responsibility for management of
the areas of the Monument that overlay
the Midway Atoll National Wildlife
Refuge, the Battle of Midway National
Memorial, and the Hawaiian Islands
National Wildlife Refuge, in
consultation with the Secretary of
Commerce. Further, the Proclamation
provides that nothing in the
Proclamation diminishes or enlarges the
jurisdiction of the State of Hawaii. The
Monument includes state waters,
including the Northwestern Hawaiian
Islands State Marine Refuge and State
Seabird Sanctuary at Kure Atoll. The
State currently holds the submerged and
ceded lands of the NWHI in trust. This
public trust is overseen by the Office of
Hawaiian Affairs through an
amendment to the Constitution of the
State of Hawaii. The State of Hawaii has
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:17 Jul 03, 2008
Jkt 214001
primary responsibility for managing the
State waters of the Monument.
In 2006 NOAA and USFWS published
joint regulations codifying the
provisions of the Proclamation (71 FR
51134, August 29, 2006). With certain
exceptions, the Proclamation and the
joint regulations restrict access to the
Monument to persons who have been
issued Monument permits. Vessels that
do not have permits cannot enter the
Monument except for uninterrupted
passage through the Monument and
notice must be provided to NOAA by
telephone, fax, or e-mail not less than 72
hours and not more than one month
prior to passing through the Monument.
Notice must also be provided not more
than twelve hours after the vessel has
exited the Monument. All of the terms
of the Proclamation and the regulations
are applied in accordance with
international law.
The Proclamation directed the
Secretary of State, in consultation with
the Secretaries of Commerce and the
Interior, to take appropriate action to
enter into negotiations with other
governments to make necessary
arrangements for the protection of the
Monument and to promote the purposes
for which it was established. The
Proclamation further directed the
Secretary of State to seek the
cooperation of other governments and
international organizations in
furtherance of the purposes of the
Proclamation and consistent with
applicable regional and multilateral
arrangements for the protection and
management of special marine areas.
In April 2007 and in accordance with
the Proclamation, the United States
proposed to the International Maritime
Organization (IMO), a specialized
agency of the United Nations, that the
Monument be designated as a
Particularly Sensitive Sea Area (PSSA)
to protect the attributes of the fragile
and integrated coral reef ecosystem from
potential hazards associated with
international shipping activities. The
U.S. noted in its proposal that the
burden on international shipping by the
proposed PSSA and its associated
protective measures would be minimal
while its objectives—increased maritime
safety, protection of the fragile
environment, preservation of cultural
resources and areas of cultural
importance significant to Native
Hawaiians, as well as facilitation of the
ability to respond to developing
maritime emergencies—would be
significantly furthered. PSSA
designation had been granted previously
to only ten marine areas globally,
including the marine areas around the
PO 00000
Frm 00034
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
Florida Keys, the Great Barrier Reef, and
the Galapagos.
On April 3, 2008, the IMO designated
the Monument as a PSSA. As part of the
PSSA designation process, the IMO
adopted U.S. proposals for associated
protective measures consisting of (1)
expanding and consolidating the six
existing recommendatory Areas To Be
Avoided (ATBA’s) in the Monument
into four larger areas and enlarging the
class of vessels to which they apply; and
(2) establishing a ship reporting system
for vessels transiting the Monument,
which is mandatory for ships 300 gross
tons or greater that are entering or
departing a U.S. port or place and
recommended for other ships. The
system requires that ships notify the
U.S. shore-based authority (i.e., the U.S.
Coast Guard; NOAA will be receiving all
messages associated with this program
on behalf of the Coast Guard) at the time
they begin transiting the reporting area
and again when they exit. Notification
is made by e-mail through the InmarsatC system or other satellite
communication system. It is estimated
that almost all commercial vessel traffic
will be able to report via Inmarsat-C.
The PSSA and associated protective
measures were adopted to provide
additional protection to the exceptional
natural, cultural and historic resources
in the Monument. Requiring vessels to
notify NOAA upon entering the
reporting area will help make the
operators of these vessels aware that
they are traveling through a fragile area
with potential navigational hazards
such as the extensive coral reefs found
in many shallow areas of the
Monument. The PSSA is now in effect,
and the IMO has provided for an
effective date for the associated
protective measures of May 1, 2008.
NOAA and USFWS are establishing
the infrastructure that will be required
to maintain an international ship
reporting system and to ensure that
information regarding PSSA designation
will be incorporated into nautical charts
and other information sources. This
proposed rule would implement the
mandatory ship reporting system as
adopted by IMO, establish the reporting
area using the IMO boundary
coordinates, and publish the
coordinates of the four ATBA’s.
II. Summary of the Proposed
Regulations
These regulations would apply to
vessels that do not have permits to enter
the Monument and that would pass
through the Monument without
interruption. The regulations propose
the following actions:
E:\FR\FM\07JYP1.SGM
07JYP1
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 130 / Monday, July 7, 2008 / Proposed Rules
(1) Modify the current notification
requirements (at 50 CFR 404.4) for
passing through the Monument without
interruption and add several new
associated terms and definitions (at
§ 404.3);
(2) establish a reporting area around
the Monument, extending outward ten
nautical miles from the Monument
boundary but excluding the ATBA’s
within the Monument;
(3) describe the categories of vessels
to which the reporting requirement
would apply;
(4) specify the type of information
regarding the vessel, its location, etc.
that would be required in the e-mail to
NOAA and would be sent in a reporting
format that is consistent with the
reporting system adopted by IMO;
(5) allow for vessels that do not have
e-mail capability to continue
compliance with the current prior
notification requirements;
(6) recommend voluntary
participation in the reporting system for
all other vessels that are not required to
notify NOAA; and
(7) publish the revised boundaries of
the four voluntary ATBA’s.
Each of these elements of the
proposed regulations is described
below.
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with PROPOSALS
A. Modification of Existing Notification
Requirements
Current Monument regulations at 50
CFR 404.4 prohibit entry into the
Monument except in certain situations.
One of the exceptions is for vessels
passing through the Monument without
interruption. Those vessels, however,
are currently required to provide notice
prior to entering and after leaving the
Monument. Notification of entry must
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:17 Jul 03, 2008
Jkt 214001
be provided at least 72 hours, but no
longer than 1 month, prior to the entry
date. Notification of departure from the
Monument must be provided within 12
hours of leaving. Notification may be
made by e-mail, telephone, or fax and
must include the following information:
position when making the report; vessel
name and IMO identification number;
name, address, and telephone number of
owner and operator; United States Coast
Guard documentation, state license, or
registration number; home port;
intended and actual route through the
Monument; general categories of any
hazardous cargo on board; and length of
vessel and propulsion type (e.g., motor
or sail).
The proposed regulations would
replace the current notification
requirements for vessels that have email capability. Vessels without e-mail
capability would continue to provide
notification as required currently but
the type of information to be provided
would be modified by these regulations
as described below.
The following terms would be added
to the definitions in the regulations at
50 CFR 404.3 to facilitate
implementation of the proposed ship
reporting requirements: ‘‘Areas to be
avoided’’; ‘‘Categories of hazardous
cargoes’’; ‘‘IMO’’; and ‘‘Reporting area.’’
The definitions to these terms are
contained in the text of the proposed
regulations.
B. Reporting Area
The proposed regulations would
create a reporting area extending ten
miles out and entirely around the
Monument boundary. The coordinates
of the proposed area are set forth in
Appendix D of the proposed regulations
PO 00000
Frm 00035
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
38377
and are the same as the coordinates that
were adopted by IMO when it accepted
the PSSA in principle and adopted the
associated protective measures for the
PSSA in 2007. Certain categories of
vessels (described below) that intend to
pass through the Monument without
interruption would be required to e-mail
certain information at the time they
cross the reporting area boundary and
again when they exit the reporting area
after having passed through the
Monument.
The reporting area would not include
the ATBA’s within the Monument. As
such, vessels that pass through an
ATBA while passing through the
Monument would be required to notify
NOAA at the time they exit the
reporting area and enter the ATBA, and
again when they exit the ATBA and reenter the reporting area.
There are three large areas of the
Monument (within the reporting area)
that are not within the IMO-designated
ATBA’s. These breaks between the four
ATBA’s allow for primarily north-south
passage through the Monument. From
west to east, these areas are in the
following locations and are shown in
Figure 1: between the ATBA’s extending
around Pearl and Hermes Atoll and
Lisianski Island; between the ATBA’s
around Maro Reef and Gardner
Pinnacles; and between the ATBA’s
around Mokumanamana (Necker Island)
and Nihoa Island. It is anticipated that
vessels will navigate through the
Monument via these areas. Vessels
passing through the Monument in these
areas would only send e-mail
notification upon entering the reporting
area and again upon leaving it.

C. Vessels That Would Be Required To
Provide Notification
All vessels of the United States—
regardless of size—would be subject to
the proposed reporting requirements.
All foreign vessels greater than 300
gross tons and that are either going to or
coming from a U.S. port or place would
also be required to participate in the
ship reporting system. Foreign vessels of
any size that are heading to or coming
from a U.S. port or place would also be
required to provide e-mail notification if
they experience an emergency while
crossing through the reporting area.
Although e-mail capability is now
routine on vessels greater than 300 gross
tons and is also widely used by many
smaller vessels, vessels of the United
States less than 300 gross tons that do
not have e-mail capability would remain
subject to the advanced notice reporting
requirements currently in effect. These
vessels would continue to be required to
follow the current reporting process:
provide notice by telephone, fax, or email not less than 72 hours but not more
than one month prior to entering the
Monument for uninterrupted passage
and to provide notification of departing
the Monument within 12 hours of
leaving.
Vessels would not be required to
provide notification if they operate in
the reporting area but remain outside of
the Monument, such as fishing vessels
fishing outside the Monument
boundary. However, if the operator of a
vessel within the reporting area decides
to cross uninterrupted through the
Monument all of the notification
requirements would then apply. In no
case could the vessel lawfully pass
through the Monument until
notification had been provided,
consistent with these proposed
regulations.

D. Specific Information and Reporting
Format That Would Be Required for
Entry and Exit Notifications by Vessels
With E-mail Capability
The information that each vessel
would be required to submit and the
format in which it would be submitted
are shown in Appendix E to the
proposed regulations. The information
that would be provided upon entering
the reporting area and the reporting
format are based on and consistent with
the reporting requirements adopted by
IMO and would include: Vessel
identification information (i.e., name,
call sign, flag, IMO identification
number); date and time of entry;
position; true course; speed in knots and
tenths; destination and estimated time
of arrival; intended route through the
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:17 Jul 03, 2008
Jkt 214001
reporting area; vessel draft; categories of
hazardous cargoes on board; any vessel
defects or deficiencies that restrict
maneuverability or impair normal
navigation; any pollution incident or
goods lost overboard within the
Monument, reporting area, or the U.S.
EEZ; contact information for the vessel’s
agent or owner; vessel size (length
overall, gross tonnage) and type; and
total number of persons on board.
Information required when the vessel
leaves the reporting area would include:
Vessel identification information (i.e.,
name, call sign, flag, IMO identification
number); date and time of exit; position;
and any pollution incident or goods lost
overboard within the Monument,
reporting area, or the U.S. EEZ.
The system that is being established
to receive the notifications would be
based on Inmarsat-C and NOAA would
assume the cost associated with
Inmarsat-C transmissions to the e-mail
address provided under this program.
This rule would not require a vessel to
install or use Inmarsat-C, but NOAA
would not assume costs associated with
e-mail transmissions sent through other
satellite communications systems.
E. Specific Information and Reporting
Format That Would Be Required for
Entry and Exit Notifications by Vessels
Without Onboard E-mail Capability
Vessels of the United States less than
300 gross tons that do not have onboard
e-mail capability would be required to
submit the following information not
less than 72 hours but not more than
one month prior to entering the
Monument for uninterrupted passage:
Vessel identification information (e.g.,
name, call sign, flag, IMO identification
number); date and time of entry;
position (as applicable); destination and
estimated time of arrival; intended route
through the Monument and the
reporting area; vessel draft; categories of
hazardous cargoes on board (as
applicable); any vessel defects or
deficiencies that restrict
maneuverability or impair normal
navigation; contact information for the
vessel’s agent or owner; vessel size
(length overall, gross tonnage) and type;
and total number of persons on board.
Upon exiting the Monument these
vessels would be required to provide the
following information within 12 hours
of leaving: Vessel identification
information (e.g., name, call sign, flag,
IMO identification number); date and
time of exit; position; and any pollution
incident or goods lost overboard within
the Monument, reporting area, or the
U.S. EEZ. This information could be
submitted by nonvessel-based e-mail
(e.g., from home or office), fax, or
PO 00000
Frm 00037
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
38379
telephone. Once a vessel is equipped
with an onboard e-mail system,
however, it would be required to
comply with the requirements for
vessels with that capability, and the
reporting format shown in Appendix E
to the regulations would be required.
F. Voluntary Participation in the Ship
Reporting System by All Other Vessels
Vessels that would not be required to
participate in the ship reporting system
are nevertheless strongly urged to
participate on a voluntary basis.
Participation would help make the
operators of these vessels aware that
they are traveling through a fragile area
with potential navigational hazards
such as the extensive coral reefs found
in many shallow areas of the
Monument. Voluntary participation
would increase maritime safety,
protection of the fragile environment,
preservation of cultural resources and
areas of cultural importance significant
to Native Hawaiians. Participation
would also facilitate the ability to
respond to developing maritime
emergencies.
G. Modification of the Areas To Be
Avoided (ATBA’s)
An ATBA is an area within which
either navigation is particularly
hazardous or it is exceptionally
important to avoid casualties. As such,
ATBA’s should be avoided by all ships,
or certain classes of ships. While
ATBA’s can be mandatory (i.e., vessels
are required by applicable law to avoid
and operate outside of the area) most are
voluntary and vessels may travel
through them. The IMO adopted six
voluntary ATBA’s in the Northwestern
Hawaiian Islands in 1980. Part of the
action taken in 2008 by the IMO was to
enlarge the six original ATBA’s so that
they now connect in certain places
resulting in four larger ATBA’s. This
proposed rule would publish the
coordinates of these four ATBA’s. The
coordinates are attached to the proposed
regulations as Appendix C. The ATBA’s
would not be part of the reporting area
and vessels that enter any ATBA while
passing through the Monument without
interruption would be required to
provide an exit notification upon
entering the ATBA, an entry notification
again upon reentering the reporting
area, and a second exit notification
when the vessel departed the reporting
area and the Monument on the other
side. Thus, transiting through the
Monument via an ATBA would require
four reports as compared with the two
reports required for transiting the
Monument between the ATBA’s.

C. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
Assessment
NOAA has concluded this regulatory
action does not have federalism
implications sufficient to warrant
preparation of a federalism assessment
under Executive Order 13132.
Consistent with the intent of the
Proclamation, however, the federal CoTrustees will consult with the State of
Hawaii, also a Monument Co-Trustee,
on this matter.

D. Paperwork Reduction Act
This proposed rule would be part of
a collection-of-information requirement
that was approved by OMB and granted
OMB control number 0648–0548.
The public reporting burden for entry
and exit notification is expected to
average 15 minutes per response. This
public reporting burden includes the
time for reviewing instructions,
searching existing data sources,
gathering and maintaining the data
needed, and completing and reviewing
the collection of information.
Public comment is sought regarding:
Whether this collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; the accuracy of the
burden estimate; ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Send comments on these or any other
aspects of the collection of information
to Diana Hynek, Departmental
Paperwork Clearance Officer,

that collection of information displays a
currently valid OMB Control Number.
E. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Chief Counsel for Regulation of
the Department of Commerce certified
to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the
Small Business Administration (SBA)
that this proposed rule, if adopted,
would not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
The factual basis for this certification
is as follows:
The proposed regulations would
establish a ship reporting system for the
Monument. When transiting the
Monument, all U.S. vessels, all foreignflag vessels 300 gross tons or greater that
are going to or coming from a U.S. port
or place, and all foreign-flag vessels of
any size coming from a U.S. port or
place and experiencing an emergency
while crossing through the reporting
area would be required to participate in
the reporting system. Specific
information would be required to be
transmitted via e-mail to NOAA upon
entry into and exit from the reporting
area. Vessels without onboard e-mail
capability would continue to provide
notification as required by current
Monument regulations at 50 CFR part
404, though the information provided
would be essentially the same as
required by these regulations.
The SBA establishes size standards
for determining whether a U.S. entity is
a small business. The size standards
relevant to this proposed rulemaking
are: finfish fishing (NAICS Code
114111): average annual receipts of $4.0
million or less; and deep sea freight
transport (NAICS Code 483111): average
employment of 500 employees or less.
Approximately 120 U.S. fishing vessels
are expected to be impacted by this
rulemaking, and all are considered to be
small entities. U.S. freight transport
vessels are expected to be affected by
this rulemaking, though none are
considered to be small entities. All
vessels without e-mail capability are
considered to be small entities.
The cost of the proposed regulation is
not expected to be significant. It is
expected that vessels transiting the
Monument would remain outside of the
designated ATBA’s to avoid
navigational hazards in the ATBA’s. For
these vessels, two e-mails would be
required for compliance with the
proposed rule: One upon entering the
PO 00000
Frm 00038
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
reporting area and one upon exiting the
reporting area. For those vessels that
cross into the ATBA’s, four e-mails
would be required. Because the ATBA’s
are not part of the reporting system, the
vessel would enter and exit the
reporting area twice. The cost of sending
an e-mail varies depending on the type
of service, the provider rates and the
length of the message but is estimated
to be approximately $1.75 per entry
report e-mail sent via Inmarsat-C. The
exit report would cost approximately
$0.50. It would take approximately 15
minutes or less to send each e-mail.
Because NOAA would cover the
monetary cost of e-mail transmissions
using the Inmarsat-C system, this cost
would not be accrued by any small
entities. Entities using other e-mail
systems, however, would bear the
monetary cost of e-mail transmission in
addition to the time cost. For those
vessels without on-board e-mail
capability, cost of compliance for
notification prior to entry is expected to
be the cost of a standard fax or e-mail
charge, or would be free if the
information is provided by telephone
using the 1–800 number listed in the
regulations. An exit notification made
within 12 hours would require the use
of a satellite telephone, the cost of
which would be subject to rate
variables. However, the content that
would be conveyed is relatively brief
and could be provided in approximately
one minute.
Given the minimal cost of compliance
with this rulemaking, the impact of this
proposed rule would not be expected to
be significant. As a result, a regulatory
flexibility analysis is not required and
none has been prepared.
IV. Request for Comments
NOAA and USFWS request comments
on this proposed rule amending the
regulations published on August 29,
2006 (71 FR 51134), particularly
concerning the ship reporting system for
the Papahanaumokuakea Marine
National Monument.

Accordingly, for the reasons set forth
above, NOAA and USFWS propose
amending part 404, title 50 of the Code
of Federal Regulations as follows:
PART 404—[AMENDED]
1. The authority citation for part 404
continues to read as follows:

prescribed format and data syntax shown.
Use of batch message routing services which
may delay receipt of a report should not be
used. Failure to follow the exact format (e.g.,
extra information, extraneous characters, or
double spacing) may cause the automated
computer system to reject your report. Note:
Report transmission costs via INMARSAT–C
will be assumed by NOAA.

SUMMARY: Due to a request from the Gulf
of Mexico shrimp industry, and based
on new information collected through a
NMFS-funded cooperative research
proposal, NMFS is reopening the
comment period on the proposed rule
that would revise the list of allowable
bycatch reduction devices (BRDs)
certified for use in the shrimp fishery of
the Gulf of Mexico. Reopening the
comment period would allow interested
constituents adequate time to prepare
comments based on the new
information regarding the performance
of BRDs. NMFS is reopening the
comment period for the proposed rule
on July 7, 2008 and it will remain open
through August 6, 2008. The proposed
rule is intended to improve bycatch
reduction in the shrimp fishery and
better meet the requirements of national
standard 9.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Statutory and Regulatory Background
On June 15, 2006, President Bush established the Northwestern
Hawaiian Islands Marine National Monument (Monument) by issuing
Presidential Proclamation 8031 (Proclamation; 71 FR 36443, June 26,
2006) under the authority of the Antiquities Act (Act) (16 U.S.C. 431).
The Proclamation 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 outer boundary of the Monument is approximately 100
nmi wide and extends approximately 1200 nmi 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, and the
Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife Refuge. The Monument was renamed the
Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument by Proclamation 8112 (72 FR
10029, February 28, 2007).
The Proclamation provides that the Secretary of Commerce, through
NOAA, has primary responsibility regarding the management of the marine
areas of the Monument, in consultation with the Secretary of the
Interior. The Secretary of the Interior, through the USFWS, has sole
responsibility for management of the areas of the Monument that overlay
the Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge, the Battle of Midway
National Memorial, and the Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife Refuge,
in consultation with the Secretary of Commerce. Further, the
Proclamation provides that nothing in the Proclamation diminishes or
enlarges the jurisdiction of the State of Hawaii. The Monument includes
state waters, including the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands State Marine
Refuge and State Seabird Sanctuary at Kure Atoll. The State currently
holds the submerged and ceded lands of the NWHI in trust. This public
trust is overseen by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs through an
amendment to the Constitution of the State of Hawaii. The State of
Hawaii has primary responsibility for managing the State waters of the
Monument.
In 2006 NOAA and USFWS published joint regulations codifying the
provisions of the Proclamation (71 FR 51134, August 29, 2006). With
certain exceptions, the Proclamation and the joint regulations restrict
access to the Monument to persons who have been issued Monument
permits. Vessels that do not have permits cannot enter the Monument
except for uninterrupted passage through the Monument and notice must
be provided to NOAA by telephone, fax, or e-mail not less than 72 hours
and not more than one month prior to passing through the Monument.
Notice must also be provided not more than twelve hours after the
vessel has exited the Monument. All of the terms of the Proclamation
and the regulations are applied in accordance with international law.
The Proclamation directed the Secretary of State, in consultation
with the Secretaries of Commerce and the Interior, to take appropriate
action to enter into negotiations with other governments to make
necessary arrangements for the protection of the Monument and to
promote the purposes for which it was established. The Proclamation
further directed the Secretary of State to seek the cooperation of
other governments and international organizations in furtherance of the
purposes of the Proclamation and consistent with applicable regional
and multilateral arrangements for the protection and management of
special marine areas.
In April 2007 and in accordance with the Proclamation, the United
States proposed to the International Maritime Organization (IMO), a
specialized agency of the United Nations, that the Monument be
designated as a Particularly Sensitive Sea Area (PSSA) to protect the
attributes of the fragile and integrated coral reef ecosystem from
potential hazards associated with international shipping activities.
The U.S. noted in its proposal that the burden on international
shipping by the proposed PSSA and its associated protective measures
would be minimal while its objectives--increased maritime safety,
protection of the fragile environment, preservation of cultural
resources and areas of cultural importance significant to Native
Hawaiians, as well as facilitation of the ability to respond to
developing maritime emergencies--would be significantly furthered. PSSA
designation had been granted previously to only ten marine areas
globally, including the marine areas around the Florida Keys, the Great
Barrier Reef, and the Galapagos.
On April 3, 2008, the IMO designated the Monument as a PSSA. As
part of the PSSA designation process, the IMO adopted U.S. proposals
for associated protective measures consisting of (1) expanding and
consolidating the six existing recommendatory Areas To Be Avoided
(ATBA's) in the Monument into four larger areas and enlarging the class
of vessels to which they apply; and (2) establishing a ship reporting
system for vessels transiting the Monument, which is mandatory for
ships 300 gross tons or greater that are entering or departing a U.S.
port or place and recommended for other ships. The system requires that
ships notify the U.S. shore-based authority (i.e., the U.S. Coast
Guard; NOAA will be receiving all messages associated with this program
on behalf of the Coast Guard) at the time they begin transiting the
reporting area and again when they exit. Notification is made by e-mail
through the Inmarsat-C system or other satellite communication system.
It is estimated that almost all commercial vessel traffic will be able
to report via Inmarsat-C.
The PSSA and associated protective measures were adopted to provide
additional protection to the exceptional natural, cultural and historic
resources in the Monument. Requiring vessels to notify NOAA upon
entering the reporting area will help make the operators of these
vessels aware that they are traveling through a fragile area with
potential navigational hazards such as the extensive coral reefs found
in many shallow areas of the Monument. The PSSA is now in effect, and
the IMO has provided for an effective date for the associated
protective measures of May 1, 2008.
NOAA and USFWS are establishing the infrastructure that will be
required to maintain an international ship reporting system and to
ensure that information regarding PSSA designation will be incorporated
into nautical charts and other information sources. This proposed rule
would implement the mandatory ship reporting system as adopted by IMO,
establish the reporting area using the IMO boundary coordinates, and
publish the coordinates of the four ATBA's.
II. Summary of the Proposed Regulations
These regulations would apply to vessels that do not have permits
to enter the Monument and that would pass through the Monument without
interruption. The regulations propose the following actions:
[[Page 38377]]
(1) Modify the current notification requirements (at 50 CFR 404.4)
for passing through the Monument without interruption and add several
new associated terms and definitions (at Sec. 404.3);
(2) establish a reporting area around the Monument, extending
outward ten nautical miles from the Monument boundary but excluding the
ATBA's within the Monument;
(3) describe the categories of vessels to which the reporting
requirement would apply;
(4) specify the type of information regarding the vessel, its
location, etc. that would be required in the e-mail to NOAA and would
be sent in a reporting format that is consistent with the reporting
system adopted by IMO;
(5) allow for vessels that do not have e-mail capability to
continue compliance with the current prior notification requirements;
(6) recommend voluntary participation in the reporting system for
all other vessels that are not required to notify NOAA; and
(7) publish the revised boundaries of the four voluntary ATBA's.
Each of these elements of the proposed regulations is described
below.
A. Modification of Existing Notification Requirements
Current Monument regulations at 50 CFR 404.4 prohibit entry into
the Monument except in certain situations. One of the exceptions is for
vessels passing through the Monument without interruption. Those
vessels, however, are currently required to provide notice prior to
entering and after leaving the Monument. Notification of entry must be
provided at least 72 hours, but no longer than 1 month, prior to the
entry date. Notification of departure from the Monument must be
provided within 12 hours of leaving. Notification may be made by e-
mail, telephone, or fax and must include the following information:
position when making the report; vessel name and IMO identification
number; name, address, and telephone number of owner and operator;
United States Coast Guard documentation, state license, or registration
number; home port; intended and actual route through the Monument;
general categories of any hazardous cargo on board; and length of
vessel and propulsion type (e.g., motor or sail).
The proposed regulations would replace the current notification
requirements for vessels that have e-mail capability. Vessels without
e-mail capability would continue to provide notification as required
currently but the type of information to be provided would be modified
by these regulations as described below.
The following terms would be added to the definitions in the
regulations at 50 CFR 404.3 to facilitate implementation of the
proposed ship reporting requirements: ``Areas to be avoided'';
``Categories of hazardous cargoes''; ``IMO''; and ``Reporting area.''
The definitions to these terms are contained in the text of the
proposed regulations.
B. Reporting Area
The proposed regulations would create a reporting area extending
ten miles out and entirely around the Monument boundary. The
coordinates of the proposed area are set forth in Appendix D of the
proposed regulations and are the same as the coordinates that were
adopted by IMO when it accepted the PSSA in principle and adopted the
associated protective measures for the PSSA in 2007. Certain categories
of vessels (described below) that intend to pass through the Monument
without interruption would be required to e-mail certain information at
the time they cross the reporting area boundary and again when they
exit the reporting area after having passed through the Monument.
The reporting area would not include the ATBA's within the
Monument. As such, vessels that pass through an ATBA while passing
through the Monument would be required to notify NOAA at the time they
exit the reporting area and enter the ATBA, and again when they exit
the ATBA and re-enter the reporting area.
There are three large areas of the Monument (within the reporting
area) that are not within the IMO-designated ATBA's. These breaks
between the four ATBA's allow for primarily north-south passage through
the Monument. From west to east, these areas are in the following
locations and are shown in Figure 1: between the ATBA's extending
around Pearl and Hermes Atoll and Lisianski Island; between the ATBA's
around Maro Reef and Gardner Pinnacles; and between the ATBA's around
Mokumanamana (Necker Island) and Nihoa Island. It is anticipated that
vessels will navigate through the Monument via these areas. Vessels
passing through the Monument in these areas would only send e-mail
notification upon entering the reporting area and again upon leaving
it.

[[Page 38379]]
C. Vessels That Would Be Required To Provide Notification
All vessels of the United States--regardless of size--would be
subject to the proposed reporting requirements. All foreign vessels
greater than 300 gross tons and that are either going to or coming from
a U.S. port or place would also be required to participate in the ship
reporting system. Foreign vessels of any size that are heading to or
coming from a U.S. port or place would also be required to provide e-
mail notification if they experience an emergency while crossing
through the reporting area. Although e-mail capability is now routine
on vessels greater than 300 gross tons and is also widely used by many
smaller vessels, vessels of the United States less than 300 gross tons
that do not have e-mail capability would remain subject to the advanced
notice reporting requirements currently in effect. These vessels would
continue to be required to follow the current reporting process:
provide notice by telephone, fax, or e-mail not less than 72 hours but
not more than one month prior to entering the Monument for
uninterrupted passage and to provide notification of departing the
Monument within 12 hours of leaving.
Vessels would not be required to provide notification if they
operate in the reporting area but remain outside of the Monument, such
as fishing vessels fishing outside the Monument boundary. However, if
the operator of a vessel within the reporting area decides to cross
uninterrupted through the Monument all of the notification requirements
would then apply. In no case could the vessel lawfully pass through the
Monument until notification had been provided, consistent with these
proposed regulations.
D. Specific Information and Reporting Format That Would Be Required for
Entry and Exit Notifications by Vessels With E-mail Capability
The information that each vessel would be required to submit and
the format in which it would be submitted are shown in Appendix E to
the proposed regulations. The information that would be provided upon
entering the reporting area and the reporting format are based on and
consistent with the reporting requirements adopted by IMO and would
include: Vessel identification information (i.e., name, call sign,
flag, IMO identification number); date and time of entry; position;
true course; speed in knots and tenths; destination and estimated time
of arrival; intended route through the reporting area; vessel draft;
categories of hazardous cargoes on board; any vessel defects or
deficiencies that restrict maneuverability or impair normal navigation;
any pollution incident or goods lost overboard within the Monument,
reporting area, or the U.S. EEZ; contact information for the vessel's
agent or owner; vessel size (length overall, gross tonnage) and type;
and total number of persons on board. Information required when the
vessel leaves the reporting area would include: Vessel identification
information (i.e., name, call sign, flag, IMO identification number);
date and time of exit; position; and any pollution incident or goods
lost overboard within the Monument, reporting area, or the U.S. EEZ.
The system that is being established to receive the notifications
would be based on Inmarsat-C and NOAA would assume the cost associated
with Inmarsat-C transmissions to the e-mail address provided under this
program. This rule would not require a vessel to install or use
Inmarsat-C, but NOAA would not assume costs associated with e-mail
transmissions sent through other satellite communications systems.
E. Specific Information and Reporting Format That Would Be Required for
Entry and Exit Notifications by Vessels Without Onboard E-mail
Capability
Vessels of the United States less than 300 gross tons that do not
have onboard e-mail capability would be required to submit the
following information not less than 72 hours but not more than one
month prior to entering the Monument for uninterrupted passage: Vessel
identification information (e.g., name, call sign, flag, IMO
identification number); date and time of entry; position (as
applicable); destination and estimated time of arrival; intended route
through the Monument and the reporting area; vessel draft; categories
of hazardous cargoes on board (as applicable); any vessel defects or
deficiencies that restrict maneuverability or impair normal navigation;
contact information for the vessel's agent or owner; vessel size
(length overall, gross tonnage) and type; and total number of persons
on board. Upon exiting the Monument these vessels would be required to
provide the following information within 12 hours of leaving: Vessel
identification information (e.g., name, call sign, flag, IMO
identification number); date and time of exit; position; and any
pollution incident or goods lost overboard within the Monument,
reporting area, or the U.S. EEZ. This information could be submitted by
nonvessel-based e-mail (e.g., from home or office), fax, or telephone.
Once a vessel is equipped with an onboard e-mail system, however, it
would be required to comply with the requirements for vessels with that
capability, and the reporting format shown in Appendix E to the
regulations would be required.
F. Voluntary Participation in the Ship Reporting System by All Other
Vessels
Vessels that would not be required to participate in the ship
reporting system are nevertheless strongly urged to participate on a
voluntary basis. Participation would help make the operators of these
vessels aware that they are traveling through a fragile area with
potential navigational hazards such as the extensive coral reefs found
in many shallow areas of the Monument. Voluntary participation would
increase maritime safety, protection of the fragile environment,
preservation of cultural resources and areas of cultural importance
significant to Native Hawaiians. Participation would also facilitate
the ability to respond to developing maritime emergencies.
G. Modification of the Areas To Be Avoided (ATBA's)
An ATBA is an area within which either navigation is particularly
hazardous or it is exceptionally important to avoid casualties. As
such, ATBA's should be avoided by all ships, or certain classes of
ships. While ATBA's can be mandatory (i.e., vessels are required by
applicable law to avoid and operate outside of the area) most are
voluntary and vessels may travel through them. The IMO adopted six
voluntary ATBA's in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands in 1980. Part of
the action taken in 2008 by the IMO was to enlarge the six original
ATBA's so that they now connect in certain places resulting in four
larger ATBA's. This proposed rule would publish the coordinates of
these four ATBA's. The coordinates are attached to the proposed
regulations as Appendix C. The ATBA's would not be part of the
reporting area and vessels that enter any ATBA while passing through
the Monument without interruption would be required to provide an exit
notification upon entering the ATBA, an entry notification again upon
reentering the reporting area, and a second exit notification when the
vessel departed the reporting area and the Monument on the other side.
Thus, transiting through the Monument via an ATBA would require four
reports as compared with the two reports required for transiting the
Monument between the ATBA's.
[[Page 38380]]
III. Classification
A. National Environmental Policy Act
A draft environmental assessment has been prepared to evaluate the
proposed revisions to the reporting requirements. Copies are available
at the address and Web site listed in the ADDRESSES section of this
proposed rule. Responses to comments received on this proposed rule
will be published in the final environmental assessment and preamble to
the final rule.
B. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Impact
This proposed rule has been determined to be not significant within
the meaning of Executive Order 12866.
C. Executive Order 13132: Federalism Assessment
NOAA has concluded this regulatory action does not have federalism
implications sufficient to warrant preparation of a federalism
assessment under Executive Order 13132. Consistent with the intent of
the Proclamation, however, the federal Co-Trustees will consult with
the State of Hawaii, also a Monument Co-Trustee, on this matter.
D. Paperwork Reduction Act
This proposed rule would be part of a collection-of-information
requirement that was approved by OMB and granted OMB control number
0648-0548.
The public reporting burden for entry and exit notification is
expected to average 15 minutes per response. This public reporting
burden includes the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing
data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing
and reviewing the collection of information.
Public comment is sought regarding: Whether this collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; the accuracy of the burden estimate; ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information, including
through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of
information technology. Send comments on these or any other aspects of
the collection of information to Diana Hynek, Departmental Paperwork
Clearance Officer, Department of Commerce, Room 6625, 14th and
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230, or via e-mail at
dHynek@noaa.gov.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the law, no person is
required to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty
for failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the PRA, unless that collection of information displays
a currently valid OMB Control Number.
E. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Chief Counsel for Regulation of the Department of Commerce
certified to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business
Administration (SBA) that this proposed rule, if adopted, would not
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
The factual basis for this certification is as follows:
The proposed regulations would establish a ship reporting system
for the Monument. When transiting the Monument, all U.S. vessels, all
foreign-flag vessels 300 gross tons or greater that are going to or
coming from a U.S. port or place, and all foreign-flag vessels of any
size coming from a U.S. port or place and experiencing an emergency
while crossing through the reporting area would be required to
participate in the reporting system. Specific information would be
required to be transmitted via e-mail to NOAA upon entry into and exit
from the reporting area. Vessels without onboard e-mail capability
would continue to provide notification as required by current Monument
regulations at 50 CFR part 404, though the information provided would
be essentially the same as required by these regulations.
The SBA establishes size standards for determining whether a U.S.
entity is a small business. The size standards relevant to this
proposed rulemaking are: finfish fishing (NAICS Code 114111): average
annual receipts of $4.0 million or less; and deep sea freight transport
(NAICS Code 483111): average employment of 500 employees or less.
Approximately 120 U.S. fishing vessels are expected to be impacted by
this rulemaking, and all are considered to be small entities. U.S.
freight transport vessels are expected to be affected by this
rulemaking, though none are considered to be small entities. All
vessels without e-mail capability are considered to be small entities.
The cost of the proposed regulation is not expected to be
significant. It is expected that vessels transiting the Monument would
remain outside of the designated ATBA's to avoid navigational hazards
in the ATBA's. For these vessels, two e-mails would be required for
compliance with the proposed rule: One upon entering the reporting area
and one upon exiting the reporting area. For those vessels that cross
into the ATBA's, four e-mails would be required. Because the ATBA's are
not part of the reporting system, the vessel would enter and exit the
reporting area twice. The cost of sending an e-mail varies depending on
the type of service, the provider rates and the length of the message
but is estimated to be approximately $1.75 per entry report e-mail sent
via Inmarsat-C. The exit report would cost approximately $0.50. It
would take approximately 15 minutes or less to send each e-mail.
Because NOAA would cover the monetary cost of e-mail transmissions
using the Inmarsat-C system, this cost would not be accrued by any
small entities. Entities using other e-mail systems, however, would
bear the monetary cost of e-mail transmission in addition to the time
cost. For those vessels without on-board e-mail capability, cost of
compliance for notification prior to entry is expected to be the cost
of a standard fax or e-mail charge, or would be free if the information
is provided by telephone using the 1-800 number listed in the
regulations. An exit notification made within 12 hours would require
the use of a satellite telephone, the cost of which would be subject to
rate variables. However, the content that would be conveyed is
relatively brief and could be provided in approximately one minute.
Given the minimal cost of compliance with this rulemaking, the
impact of this proposed rule would not be expected to be significant.
As a result, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required and none
has been prepared.
