SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Sanctuary Background The FKNMS was designated by Congress in 1990 through the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary Protection Act (FKNMSPA, Pub. L. 101– 605) and extends approximately 220 nautical miles southwest from the southern tip of the Florida peninsula, and is composed of both State and Federal waters. The sanctuary’s marine ecosystem supports over 6,000 species of plants, fishes, and invertebrates, including the Nation’s only living coral reef that lies adjacent to the continent. The area includes one of the largest seagrass communities in this hemisphere. The primary goal of the sanctuary is to protect the marine resources of the Florida Keys. Other goals of the sanctuary include facilitating human uses that are consistent with the primary objective of resource protection as well as educating the public about the Florida Keys marine environment. Attracted by this subtropical diversity, tourists spend more than thirteen million visitor days in the Florida Keys each year. In addition, the region provides recreation and livelihoods for approximately 80,000 residents. Location and Size of Resource Management FKNMS is 2,900 square nautical miles of coastal waters, including the 2001 addition of the Tortugas Ecological E:\FR\FM\07JAP1.SGM 07JAP1 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 4 / Thursday, January 7, 2010 / Proposed Rules Reserve. The sanctuary overlaps four national wildlife refuges, six State parks, three State aquatic preserves and incorporates two of the earliest national marine sanctuaries to be designated, Key Largo and Looe Key National Marine Sanctuaries. Three national parks have separate jurisdictions, and share a boundary with the sanctuary. The region also has some of the most significant maritime heritage and historical resources of any coastal community in the nation. Proposed Regulatory Amendment On November 16, 2009, NOAA issued a proposed rule to amend the FKNMS regulations to eliminate the exemption that allows discharges of biodegradable effluent incidental to vessel use and generated by marine sanitation devices, and to require marine sanitation devices be locked to prevent discharges (74 FR 58923).

Written comments will be collected on note cards and verbal comments will be recorded and transcribed. Dated: December 29, 2009. Daniel J. Basta, Director, Office of National Marine Sanctuaries.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Sanctuary Background

    The FKNMS was designated by Congress in 1990 through the Florida 
Keys National Marine Sanctuary Protection Act (FKNMSPA, Pub. L. 101-
605) and extends approximately 220 nautical miles southwest from the 
southern tip of the Florida peninsula, and is composed of both State 
and Federal waters. The sanctuary's marine ecosystem supports over 
6,000 species of plants, fishes, and invertebrates, including the 
Nation's only living coral reef that lies adjacent to the continent. 
The area includes one of the largest seagrass communities in this 
hemisphere. The primary goal of the sanctuary is to protect the marine 
resources of the Florida Keys. Other goals of the sanctuary include 
facilitating human uses that are consistent with the primary objective 
of resource protection as well as educating the public about the 
Florida Keys marine environment. Attracted by this subtropical 
diversity, tourists spend more than thirteen million visitor days in 
the Florida Keys each year. In addition, the region provides recreation 
and livelihoods for approximately 80,000 residents.

Location and Size of Resource Management

    FKNMS is 2,900 square nautical miles of coastal waters, including 
the 2001 addition of the Tortugas Ecological

Reserve. The sanctuary overlaps four national wildlife refuges, six 
State parks, three State aquatic preserves and incorporates two of the 
earliest national marine sanctuaries to be designated, Key Largo and 
Looe Key National Marine Sanctuaries. Three national parks have 
separate jurisdictions, and share a boundary with the sanctuary. The 
region also has some of the most significant maritime heritage and 
historical resources of any coastal community in the nation.

Proposed Regulatory Amendment

    On November 16, 2009, NOAA issued a proposed rule to amend the 
FKNMS regulations to eliminate the exemption that allows discharges of 
biodegradable effluent incidental to vessel use and generated by marine 
sanitation devices, and to require marine sanitation devices be locked 
to prevent discharges (74 FR 58923). The meetings described in the 
DATES section above are intended to provide the public with additional 
opportunities to ask questions and provide formal comment about this 
proposed regulation. Written comments will be collected on note cards 
and verbal comments will be recorded and transcribed.
