SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Monument Background On June 15, 2006, President George W. Bush 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 Act of June 8, 1906 (34 Stat. 225, 16 U.S.C. 431) (the Antiquities Act). On December 8, 2006, the Secretaries of Commerce and the Interior and the Governor of Hawai‘i signed a Memorandum of Agreement for coordinated, integrated management and protection of the monument. On February 28, 2007, President Bush amended the Proclamation to rename the monument, Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument, to reflect native Hawaiian language and culture (72 FR 10031, March 6, 2007). Location, Size, and Federal and State Resource Management 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 from the islands. The monument is approximately 100 nautical miles 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, Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge/Battle of Midway National Memorial, Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife Refuge, Hawaii State Seabird Sanctuary at Kure Atoll, and State of Hawai‘i’s Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Marine Refuge. NOAA maintains responsibility for managing the NWHI Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve, included within the monument, and has primary PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 33209 responsibility regarding the management of the marine areas of the monument, in consultation with FWS. Refuge areas within the monument, including the Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge, the Battle of Midway National Memorial, and the Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife Refuge, are managed by FWS. The State maintains responsibility for managing state lands and waters within the monument, including the NWHI State Marine Refuge and State Seabird Sanctuary at Kure Atoll. Public Outreach and the NRSP’s Relationship to Previous Plans The Co-Trustees created the Draft NRSP as one of several eventual ‘‘stepdown’’ plans from the Monument Management Plan. The NRSP was written in consultation with all members of the Monument Management Board. Comments and issues raised during scoping are included in the Draft NRSP. Condition Report In preparation for science plan review, NOAA has produced a Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument Condition Report. The Condition Report provides a summary of resources in PMNM, pressures on those resources, the current condition and trends, and management responses to the pressures that threaten the integrity of the marine environment. Specifically, the Condition Report includes information on the status and trends of water quality, habitat, living resources and maritime archaeological resources and the human activities that affect them. The report serves as a supporting document for the Natural Resources Science Plan Review Process, to inform constituents who desire to participate in that process. It can be found online at https:// sanctuaries.noaa.gov/science/condition/ pmnm/download.html.

The invention available for licensing is: [NIST DOCKET NUMBER: 07–001]. Title: Interactive Analysis of Attack Graphs Using Relational Queries. Abstract: Attack graph is important in defending against well-orchestrated network intrusions. However, the current analysis of attack graphs requires an algorithm to be developed and implemented, causing a delay in the availability of analysis. Such a delay is PO 00000 Frm 00010 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 usually unacceptable because the needs for analyzing attack graphs may change rapidly in defending against network intrusions. An administrator may want to revise an analysis upon observing its outcome. Such an analysis, similar to that in decision support systems, is difficult if at all possible with current approaches based on proprietary algorithms. This invention removes the above limitation and enables interactive analysis of attack graphs. A relational model is devised for representing necessary inputs including network configuration and domain knowledge. The attack graph from those inputs as relational views is generated. Typical analyses of the attack graph can be realized as relational queries against the views are shown. This approach eliminates the needs for developing a proprietary algorithm for each different analysis, because an analysis is now simply a relational query. The interactive analysis of attack graphs is now possible, because relational queries can be dynamically constructed and revised at run time. Moreover, the mature optimization techniques in relational databases can also improve the performance of the analysis. Dated: July 6, 2009. Patrick Gallagher, Deputy Director. [FR Doc.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Monument Background

    On June 15, 2006, President George W. Bush 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 Act of June 8, 1906 (34 Stat. 225, 16 
U.S.C. 431) (the Antiquities Act). On December 8, 2006, the Secretaries 
of Commerce and the Interior and the Governor of Hawai`i signed a 
Memorandum of Agreement for coordinated, integrated management and 
protection of the monument. On February 28, 2007, President Bush 
amended the Proclamation to rename the monument, Papahanaumokuakea 
Marine National Monument, to reflect native Hawaiian language and 
culture (72 FR 10031, March 6, 2007).

Location, Size, and Federal and State Resource Management

    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 
from the islands. The monument is approximately 100 nautical miles 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, Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge/
Battle of Midway National Memorial, Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife 
Refuge, Hawaii State Seabird Sanctuary at Kure Atoll, and State of 
Hawai`i's Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Marine Refuge. NOAA maintains 
responsibility for managing 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.
    Refuge areas within the monument, including the Midway Atoll 
National Wildlife Refuge, the Battle of Midway National Memorial, and 
the Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife Refuge, are managed by FWS. The 
State maintains responsibility for managing state lands and waters 
within the monument, including the NWHI State Marine Refuge and State 
Seabird Sanctuary at Kure Atoll.

Public Outreach and the NRSP's Relationship to Previous Plans

    The Co-Trustees created the Draft NRSP as one of several eventual 
``step-down'' plans from the Monument Management Plan. The NRSP was 
written in consultation with all members of the Monument Management 
Board. Comments and issues raised during scoping are included in the 
Draft NRSP.

Condition Report

    In preparation for science plan review, NOAA has produced a 
Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument Condition Report. The 
Condition Report provides a summary of resources in PMNM, pressures on 
those resources, the current condition and trends, and management 
responses to the pressures that threaten the integrity of the marine 
environment. Specifically, the Condition Report includes information on 
the status and trends of water quality, habitat, living resources and 
maritime archaeological resources and the human activities that affect 
them. The report serves as a supporting document for the Natural 
Resources Science Plan Review Process, to inform constituents who 
desire to participate in that process. It can be found online at https://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/science/condition/pmnm/download.html.
