SUMMARY: NOAA proposes to designate marine portions of 
Papah[amacr]naumoku[amacr]kea Marine National Monument as 
Papah[amacr]naumoku[amacr]kea National Marine Sanctuary (proposed 
sanctuary) to protect nationally significant biological, cultural, and 
historical resources and to manage this special place as part of the 
National Marine Sanctuary System. The proposed sanctuary consists of an 
area of approximately 582,570 square statute miles (439,910 square 
nautical miles) of Pacific Ocean waters surrounding the Northwest 
Hawaiian Islands and the submerged lands thereunder. NOAA proposes to 
establish the terms of designation for the proposed sanctuary and 
proposes regulations to implement the designation of the national 
marine sanctuary. NOAA is also publishing a draft environmental impact 
statement (DEIS), prepared in coordination with the State of 
Hawai[revaps]i, and a draft management plan (DMP). NOAA is soliciting 
public comments on the proposed rule, the DEIS and the DMP.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

A. Background

    The National Marine Sanctuaries Act (NMSA; 16 U.S.C. 1431 et seq.) 
authorizes the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) to designate and 
protect as national marine sanctuaries areas of the marine environment 
that are of special national significance due to their conservation, 
recreational, ecological, historical, scientific, cultural, 
archaeological, educational, or aesthetic qualities. Day-to-day 
management of national marine sanctuaries has been delegated by the 
Secretary to NOAA. The primary objective of the NMSA is to protect the 
resources of the National Marine Sanctuary System.
    NOAA proposes to designate marine portions of the 
Papah[amacr]naumoku[amacr]kea Marine National Monument as a national 
marine sanctuary to provide comprehensive and coordinated management of 
the marine areas of Papah[amacr]naumoku[amacr]kea to protect nationally 
significant biological, cultural, and historical resources. The 
original Papah[amacr]naumoku[amacr]kea Marine National Monument (PMNM, 
0-50 nm), and the Monument Expansion Area (MEA, 50-200 nm), 
(collectively ``Monument''), located around the Northwestern Hawaiian 
Islands, were established under the Antiquities Act of 1906 (54 U.S.C. 
320301 et seq.) through, respectively, Presidential Proclamation 8031 
of June 15, 2006; as amended by Presidential Proclamation 8112 of 
February 28, 2007; and Presidential Proclamation 9478 of August 26, 
2016. The Monument is administered jointly by four Co-Trustees--the 
Department of Commerce, the Department of the

[[Page 15273]]

Interior, the State of Hawai[revaps]i, and the Office of Hawaiian 
Affairs.
    In 2006, former President Bush established PMNM to protect and 
preserve the marine area of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and 
certain lands as necessary for the care and management of the historic 
and scientific objects therein. The Federal land and interests in land 
reserved included approximately 139,793 square miles of emergent and 
submerged lands and waters of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. NOAA 
and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) promulgated 
implementing regulations at 50 CFR part 404 for PMNM.
    In 2016, Presidential Proclamation 9478 expanded the Monument into 
an adjacent area--the MEA--which includes the waters and submerged 
lands to the extent of the seaward limit of the United States Exclusive 
Economic Zone (U.S. EEZ) west of 163[deg] West Longitude and covers an 
additional 442,781 square miles. Presidential Proclamation 9478 also 
directed the Secretary of Commerce to consider initiating the process 
to designate the MEA and PMNM seaward of the Hawaiian Islands National 
Wildlife Refuge and Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge and Battle of 
Midway National Memorial as a national marine sanctuary to supplement 
and complement existing authorities. On December 27, 2020, the Joint 
Explanatory Statement accompanying the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 
2021, directed NOAA to initiate the process to designate the Monument 
as a national marine sanctuary.
    The proposed sanctuary consists of a total area of approximately 
582,570 square miles (439,910 square nautical miles). The precise 
boundary coordinates are defined in appendix A to the regulations at 15 
CFR part 922, subpart W. The proposed sanctuary boundary encompasses 
the submerged lands, seamounts, and Pacific Ocean waters from the 
shoreline seaward to approximately 200 nautical miles west of 163[deg] 
West Longitude surrounding the Northwest Hawaiian Islands which consist 
of the islands, atolls, and emergent lands stretching from Nihoa in the 
southeast to Kure Atoll in the northwest. The adjoining marine waters 
east of 163[deg] West Longitude surrounding Nihoa extend seaward from 
the shoreline to approximately 50 nautical miles. This boundary 
reflects NOAA's preferred alternative, which is described in the DEIS 
as Alternative 1.
    The proposed sanctuary is a place of unique environmental resources 
that provide large-scale ecosystem services for both the region and the 
world. The marine habitat includes several interconnected ecosystems, 
including coral islands surrounded by shallow reef, deeper reef habitat 
characterized by seamounts, banks, and shoals, mesophotic reefs with 
extensive algal beds, pelagic waters connected to the greater North 
Pacific Ocean, and deep-water habitats such as abyssal plains 5,000 
meters below sea level. These ecosystems are connected as essential 
habitats for rare species such as the threatened green turtle and the 
critically endangered Hawaiian monk seal, as well as over 14 million 
seabirds that forage in the pelagic waters to nourish the chicks they 
are raising on the tiny islets. These waters are home to 20 cetacean 
species protected by the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), with some 
listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The 
importance of these waters to the Hawaiian humpback whale is only 
recently becoming understood. At least a quarter of the nearly 7,000 
known marine species found in the region are found nowhere else on 
Earth.
    The area of the proposed sanctuary is also a sacred place to Native 
Hawaiians, who regard the islands and wildlife as k[umacr]puna, or 
ancestors. The region holds deep cosmological and traditional 
significance for living Native Hawaiian culture. 
Papah[amacr]naumoku[amacr]kea is as much a spiritual as well as a 
physical geography, deeply rooted in Native Hawaiian creation and 
settlement stories. Since Native Hawaiian culture considers nature and 
culture to be one and the same, the protection of one of the last 
nearly pristine, natural, marine ecosystems in the archipelago is seen 
as being akin to preserving the living culture.
    The area of the proposed sanctuary also includes the location of 
the Battle of Midway, a turning point in World War II for the allies in 
the Pacific Theater. Research indicates that there are 60-80 military 
vessels and hundreds of aircraft on the seafloor. In addition to Navy 
steamers and aircraft, there are whaling ships, Japanese junks, 
Hawaiian fishing sampans, Pacific colliers, and other vessels from the 
19th and 20th centuries. Of these, the locations of more than 30 vessel 
wreck sites have been confirmed by diving or bathymetric surveys, with 
only a handful of those identified by vessel name or otherwise 
evaluated.

B. Purpose and Need for Action

    The National Marine Sanctuaries Act (NMSA; 16 U.S.C. 1431 et seq.) 
authorizes the Secretary to designate national marine sanctuaries to 
meet the purposes and policies of the NMSA, including:
     ``to provide authority for comprehensive and coordinated 
conservation and management of these marine areas, and activities 
affecting them, in a manner which complements existing regulatory 
authorities'' (16 U.S.C. 1431(b)(2));
     ``to maintain the natural biological communities in the 
national marine sanctuaries, and to protect, and, where appropriate, 
restore and enhance natural habitats, populations, and ecological 
processes'' (16 U.S.C. 1431(b)(3));
     ``to enhance public awareness, understanding, 
appreciation, and wise and sustainable use of the marine environment, 
and the natural, historical, cultural, and archaeological resources of 
the National Marine Sanctuary System'' (16 U.S.C. 1431(b)(4));
     ``to support, promote, and coordinate scientific research 
on, and long-term monitoring of, the resources of these marine areas'' 
(16 U.S.C. 1431(b)(5));
     ``to facilitate to the extent compatible with the primary 
objective of resource protection, all public and private uses of the 
resources of these marine areas not prohibited pursuant to other 
authorities'' (16 U.S.C. 1431(b)(6));
    NOAA's proposed action is to designate marine areas of 
Papahanaumokuakea as a national marine sanctuary. The purpose of this 
action is to provide comprehensive and coordinated management of the 
marine areas of Papahanaumokuakea to protect nationally significant 
biological, cultural, and historical resources. Additionally, the 
purpose of the designation is to implement the provisions of Executive 
Order 13178, Presidential Proclamation 9478, and the Joint Explanatory 
Statement accompanying the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021.
    Accordingly, NOAA is proposing to designate this area as a national 
marine sanctuary to:
     Develop objectives and actions that ensure lasting 
protection consistent with the existing Monument proclamations;
     Safeguard natural and cultural values of the marine 
environment;
     Apply additional regulatory and non-regulatory tools to 
augment and strengthen existing protections for Papahanaumokuakea 
ecosystems, wildlife, and cultural and maritime heritage resources;
     Authorize NOAA to assess civil penalties for violations of 
provisions of the NMSA and regulations and permits

[[Page 15274]]

issued pursuant to the NMSA (16 U.S.C. 1437(d));
     Impose liability for destruction, loss of, or injury to 
sanctuary resources and provide natural resource damage assessment 
authorities for destruction, loss of, or injury to any sanctuary 
resource (16 U.S.C. 1443); and
     Require interagency consultation for any Federal agency 
action that is likely to destroy, cause the loss of, or injure any 
sanctuary resource (16 U.S.C. 1434(d));

C. Designation Process

1. Notice of Intent To Designate a National Marine Sanctuary
    On November 19, 2021, NOAA initiated the process to designate 
marine portions of the Monument as a national marine sanctuary by 
publishing a Notice of Intent to Conduct Scoping and to Prepare an 
Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed Designation of a 
National Marine Sanctuary within Papahanaumokuakea Marine National 
Monument (86 FR 64904). The notice of intent stated that NOAA would 
prepare a DEIS per the requirements of the National Environmental 
Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and the NMSA. The notice of intent 
(NOI) also announced NOAA's intent to fulfill its responsibilities 
under the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA; 54 U.S.C. 300101 et 
seq.). The State of Hawai[revaps]i published its EIS preparation notice 
on December 8, 2021. Following publication of these notices, NOAA 
conducted four virtual public scoping meetings. During the 74-day 
public comment period from November 19, 2021 through January 31, 2022, 
73 individuals and organizations provided written input. An estimated 
165 people attended the four scoping meetings, with 9 people providing 
oral comments. The Summary of Scoping Input on the Notice of Intent and 
EIS Preparation Notice and State of Hawai[revaps]i Responses to Public 
Scoping Comments are included in the DEIS as appendix G.
2. Development of Proposed Terms of Designation and Proposed 
Regulations
    Section 304(a)(4) of the NMSA requires that the terms of 
designation include: (1) the geographic area that is proposed to be 
included within the sanctuary; (2) the characteristics of the area that 
give it conservation, recreational, ecological, historical, research, 
educational, or esthetic value; and (3) the types of activities that 
would be subject to regulation by the Secretary to protect these 
characteristics. Section 304(a)(4) of the NMSA also specifies that the 
terms of designation may be modified only by the same procedures by 
which the original designation was made.
    The purpose and need for the sanctuary provide the overarching 
basis for developing the proposed regulations. The designation of the 
proposed sanctuary would not replace the area's current status as a 
marine national monument. The proposed rule would supplement the 
existing provisions for management of the Monument and further protect 
resources in the Northwest Hawaiian Islands. To draft these 
regulations, NOAA reviewed the following, which currently guide 
Monument management:
     Executive Order 13178--Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Coral 
Reef Ecosystem Reserve, December 4, 2000;
     Presidential Proclamation 8031--Establishment of the 
Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Marine National Monument, June 15, 2006;
     Presidential Proclamation 8112, Amending Proclamation 8031 
of June 15, 2006 to Read ``Establishment of the Papahanaumokuakea 
Marine National Monument,'' February 29, 2007;
     Regulations implementing Presidential Proclamations 8031 
and 8112 at 50 CFR part 404; and
     Presidential Proclamation 9478--
Papah[amacr]naumoku[amacr]kea Marine National Monument Expansion, 
August 26, 2016.
    These executive orders, presidential proclamations, and regulations 
served as benchmarks for drafting the proposed rule for the proposed 
sanctuary. The proposed rule would only add to, and would not diminish, 
Monument management measures and protections. NOAA has adopted the 
management measures from these benchmarks, and, in a few areas, added 
onto those measures to allow for consistency in regulation and 
management across the proposed sanctuary. The proposed rule unifies 
management of the area by removing discrepancies and gaps in 
prohibitions, regulated activities, and permit criteria, providing 
clarity and comprehensive protection for the proposed sanctuary.
    In developing this proposed rule and the proposed sanctuary terms 
of designation, NOAA also considered: (1) information received through 
public scoping comments, cooperating agency review, and coordination 
with the Monument Co-Trustees through the seven-member Monument 
Management Board (MMB), which consists of NOAA ONMS, NOAA National 
Marine Fisheries Service, USFWS Ecological Services, USFWS Refuges, 
Hawai[revaps]i Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) Division 
of Aquatic Resources, DLNR-Division of Forestry and Wildlife, and the 
Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA); and (2) information from analysis of 
issues in the DEIS, interagency coordination, and internal staff 
analysis and expertise. NOAA also consulted with the Western Pacific 
Regional Fishery Management Council as required under the NMSA.
    A detailed discussion of the proposed rule is contained below in 
section III, subsections A through M. The proposed terms of designation 
are contained below in section II, and are incorporated as an annex to 
the DMP.
3. Development of Draft Management Plan
    A DMP has been prepared in accordance with NMSA section 
304(a)(2)(C). Management plans are site-specific documents that ONMS 
uses to manage individual sanctuaries. The DMP: (1) articulates the 
sanctuary's vision, mission, goals, and objectives; (2) describes the 
management activities and initiatives that NOAA proposes to conduct; 
and (3) provides strategies and assessment measures to guide the 
sanctuary's short and mid-range management. The DMP for the sanctuary 
is included as appendix A to the DEIS.
4. Draft Environmental Impact Statement
    In accordance with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (42 
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), the NMSA, and the Hawai[revaps]i Environmental 
Policy Act (HEPA, Chapter 343 HRS, HAR Chapter 11-200.1), NOAA is 
releasing a DEIS for the proposed national marine sanctuary designation 
in conjunction with the publication of this proposed rule. NOAA is the 
lead Federal agency in the preparation of the environmental impact 
statement. The USFWS, State of Hawai[revaps]i, and the Department of 
the Navy are cooperating agencies for the NEPA process. The DEIS 
(https://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/papahanaumokuakea/) describes the purpose 
and need for the proposed action of designating a national marine 
sanctuary, identifies a range of alternatives including the preferred 
alternative, provides an assessment of resources and uses in the area, 
and evaluates the potential environmental consequences of the proposed 
designation including by comparing the beneficial and adverse impacts 
among alternatives.
    The DEIS analyzes four alternatives; including a ``no action'' 
alternative, in which the area would not be designated as a national 
marine sanctuary; and three boundary alternatives:

[[Page 15275]]

     Alternative 1 is coextensive with the marine portions of 
the Monument. The boundary includes the marine environment surrounding 
the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands from the shoreline of the islands and 
atolls seaward to 200 nautical miles, including all State waters and 
waters of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem 
Reserve, Midway Atoll and Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife Refuges, 
and State of Hawai[revaps]i Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Marine 
Refuge. The area encompassed in Alternative 1 is approximately 582,570 
square miles (439,910 square nautical miles).
     Alternative 2 includes the marine environment from the 
shoreline of the islands and atolls seaward to 50 nautical miles. This 
alternative includes all State waters and waters of the Reserve, Midway 
Atoll and Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife Refuges, and State of 
Hawai[revaps]i Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Marine Refuge. This 
alternative does not include the MEA. The area encompassed in 
Alternative 2 is approximately 139,782 square miles (105,552 square 
nautical miles).
     Alternative 3 has the same boundaries as Alternative 1, 
excluding waters within the Midway Atoll and Hawaiian Islands National 
Wildlife Refuges. The area encompassed in Alternative 3 is 
approximately 581,263 square miles (438,923 square nautical miles).
5. Agency-Preferred Alternative
    NOAA is identifying Alternative 1 as the agency-preferred 
alternative (preferred alternative) based on its comparative merits; 
this alternative serves as the foundation of this proposed rule 
(section 3.3 of the DEIS presents a map and an additional explanation 
of the reasons for this selection). NOAA selected its preferred 
alternative after considering input from the Monument Management Board, 
the State of Hawai[revaps]i, cooperating agencies, and public scoping 
meetings. Through the analysis in the DEIS, NOAA has found that the 
preferred alternative would provide numerous beneficial impacts, 
including increased protection and conservation of resources, and 
improved coordination of conservation and management. NOAA has also 
considered the potential adverse impacts of the preferred alternative 
and anticipates that there would be no significant adverse impacts to 
biological and physical resources, cultural and historic resources, or 
socioeconomic resources.
    NOAA's identification of Alternative 1 as the preferred alternative 
is based on the need for additional resource protection, scientific 
research, and public education in areas that would be excluded by 
selecting the boundaries of Alternatives 2 or 3. Alternative 1 includes 
the MEA, an area which would benefit from the establishment of a NOAA 
permitting process, and the promulgation of sanctuary regulations to 
protect resources. Alternative 1 also includes the waters of Midway 
Atoll and Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife Refuges National Wildlife 
Refuges, which are the areas of the proposed sanctuary subject to the 
highest level of human activity.
    Based on the public comments NOAA receives on the draft designation 
documents and NOAA's experience administering the national marine 
sanctuary program, pursuant to NEPA and the Administrative Procedure 
Act, NOAA may choose to select a different alternative in the final 
rule and final EIS that is within the geographic and regulatory scope 
of the alternatives currently considered in the DEIS, and that is a 
logical outgrowth of this proposed rule.

II. Proposed Sanctuary Terms of Designation

    Section 304(a)(4) of the NMSA as amended, 16 U.S.C. 1434(a)(4), 
requires that the terms of designation be described at the time a 
sanctuary is designated, including: (1) the geographic area proposed to 
be included within the sanctuary; (2) the characteristics of the area 
that give it conservation, recreational, ecological, historical, 
research, educational, or aesthetic value; and (3) the types of 
activities that will be subject to regulation by the Secretary of 
Commerce to protect these characteristics. The following represents the 
proposed terms of designation:
    Under the authority of the National Marine Sanctuaries Act, as 
amended (the ``Act'' or ``NMSA''), 16 U.S.C. 1431 et seq., 
approximately 439,910 square nmi (582,570 square mi) of the waters of 
the Pacific Ocean surrounding the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands are 
hereby designated as a National Marine Sanctuary for the purpose of 
providing long-term protection and management of the ecological, 
cultural, and historical resources and the conservation, recreational, 
scientific, educational, and aesthetic qualities of the area.

Article I: Effect of Designation

    The NMSA authorizes the issuance of such regulations as are 
necessary and reasonable to implement the designation, including 
managing and protecting the ecological, cultural, and historical 
resources and the conservation, recreational, scientific, educational, 
and aesthetic qualities of Papah[amacr]naumoku[amacr]kea National 
Marine Sanctuary (the ``Sanctuary''). Section 1 of Article IV of these 
terms of designation lists those activities that may be regulated on 
the effective date of designation, or at some later date, in order to 
protect Sanctuary resources and qualities. Listing an activity does not 
necessarily mean that it will be regulated. However, if an activity is 
not listed it may not be regulated, except on an emergency basis, 
unless section 1 of Article IV is amended by the same procedures by 
which the original Sanctuary designation was made.

Article II: Description of the Area

    The sanctuary encompasses the submerged lands, seamounts, and 
Pacific Ocean waters from the shoreline seaward to approximately 200 
nautical miles west of 163[deg] West Longitude surrounding the 
Northwestern Hawaiian Islands which consist of the islands, atolls, and 
emergent lands stretching from Nihoa in the southeast to 
H[omacr]lanik[umacr] (Kure Atoll) in the northwest. The marine waters 
east of 163[deg] West Longitude surrounding Nihoa extend seaward from 
the shoreline to approximately 50 nautical miles. The total area of the 
sanctuary comprises approximately 582,570 square miles (439,910 square 
nautical miles). The precise boundary coordinates are defined in 
appendix A to the regulations at 15 CFR part 922, subpart W.

Article III: Special Characteristics of the Area

    Papah[amacr]naumoku[amacr]kea is a place of special national 
significance that provides large-scale ecosystem services for the 
region and the world. The marine habitat includes several 
interconnected ecosystems, including coral islands surrounded by 
shallow reef, deeper reef habitat characterized by seamounts, banks, 
and shoals scattered across the area of the sanctuary, mesophotic reefs 
with extensive algal beds, pelagic waters connected to the greater 
North Pacific Ocean, and deep-water habitats and abyssal plains 5,000 
meters below sea level. These connected ecosystems provide essential 
habitats for rare species such as the threatened green sea turtle and 
the critically endangered Hawaiian monk seal, as well as habitat for 
more than 14 million seabirds that forage in the pelagic waters to 
nourish the chicks they are raising on the tiny islets. 
Papah[amacr]naumoku[amacr]kea is home to 20 cetacean species, protected 
by the MMPA, with some listed as endangered under the ESA. At least a

[[Page 15276]]

quarter of the nearly 7,000 known marine species found in the region 
are found nowhere else on Earth.
    The area of the proposed sanctuary is also a place of historic and 
cultural significance. The area of the proposed sanctuary includes the 
location of the Battle of Midway, a turning point in World War II for 
the allies in the Pacific Theater. Research indicates that 60-80 
military vessels and hundreds of aircraft are scattered across the 
seafloor. In addition to Navy steamers and aircraft, there are whaling 
ships, Japanese junks, Hawaiian fishing sampans, Pacific colliers, and 
other vessels from the 19th and 20th centuries.
    Papah[amacr]naumoku[amacr]kea is also a sacred place to Native 
Hawaiians, who regard the islands and wildlife as k[umacr]puna, or 
ancestors. The region holds deep cosmological and traditional 
significance to living Native Hawaiian culture and contains a host of 
intact and significant archaeological sites found on the islands of 
Nihoa and Mokumanamana, both of which are on the National Register of 
Historic Places and Hawai[revaps]i Register of Historic Places. 
Papah[amacr]naumoku[amacr]kea is as much a spiritual as a physical 
geography, rooted deep in Native Hawaiian creation and settlement 
stories.

Article IV: Scope of Regulations

Section 1. Activities Subject to Regulation
    The following activities are subject to regulation, including 
prohibition, as may be necessary to ensure the protection and effective 
management of the ecological, cultural, historical, conservation, 
recreational, scientific, educational, or aesthetic resources or 
qualities of the area:
    1. Access to the sanctuary;
    2. Ship reporting;
    3. Vessel monitoring;
    4. Vessel discharge;
    5. Exploring for, developing, or producing oil, gas, or minerals, 
or any energy development activities;
    6. Using or attempting to use poisons, electrical charges, or 
explosives in the collection or harvest of a sanctuary resource;
    7. Introducing or otherwise releasing an introduced species from 
within or into the sanctuary;
    8. Deserting a vessel;
    9. Commercial fishing;
    10. Non-commercial fishing;
    11. Possessing fishing gear;
    12. Anchoring on or having a vessel anchored on any living or dead 
coral with an anchor, anchor chain, or anchor rope;
    13. Drilling into, dredging, or otherwise altering the submerged 
lands; or constructing, placing, or abandoning any structure, material, 
or other matter on the submerged lands;
    14. Removing, moving, taking, harvesting, possessing, injuring, 
disturbing, or damaging; or attempting to remove, move, take, harvest, 
possess, injure, disturb, or damage any living or nonliving sanctuary 
resource;
    15. Attracting any living sanctuary resource;
    16. Touching coral, living or dead;
    17. Swimming, snorkeling, or closed or open circuit SCUBA diving; 
or
    18. Discharging or depositing any material or other matter, or 
discharging or depositing any material or other matter outside of the 
sanctuary that subsequently enters the sanctuary and injures or has the 
potential to injure any resources of the sanctuary;
    19. Anchoring a vessel;
    20. Native Hawaiian practices;
    21. Research and scientific exploration;
    22. Scientific research and development by Federal agencies;
    23. Activities that will further the educational value of the 
sanctuary or will assist in the conservation and management of the 
sanctuary; and
    24. Recreational activities.
    Listing an activity here means that the Secretary of Commerce can 
regulate the activity, after complying with all applicable laws, 
without going through the designation procedures required by paragraphs 
(a) and (b) of section 304 of the NMSA. No term of designation issued 
under the authority of the NMSA may take effect in Hawaii State waters 
within the Sanctuary if the Governor of Hawaii certifies to the 
Secretary of Commerce that such term of designation is unacceptable 
within the review period specified in the NMSA.
Section 2. Emergencies
    Where necessary to prevent or minimize the destruction of, loss of, 
or injury to a Sanctuary resource or quality, or to minimize the 
imminent risk of such destruction, loss, or injury, any and all 
activities, including those not listed in section 1, are subject to 
immediate temporary regulation, including prohibition.

Article V: Alteration of This Designation

    The terms of designation, as defined under section 304(a)(4) of the 
NMSA, may be modified only by the same procedures by which the original 
designation is made, including public hearings, consultations with 
interested Federal, Tribal, State, regional, and local authorities and 
agencies, review by the appropriate Congressional committees, and 
approval by the Secretary of Commerce, or his or her designee.

III. Summary of Proposed Regulations

A. Adding New Subpart W

    NOAA is proposing to amend 15 CFR part 922 by adding a new subpart 
(subpart W) that contains site-specific regulations for the proposed 
sanctuary. This subpart would include the proposed boundary, contain 
definitions of common terms used in the new subpart, identify 
prohibited activities and exceptions, and establish procedures for 
permitting otherwise prohibited activities.

B. Proposed Sanctuary Boundary

    NOAA proposes to designate the marine environment surrounding the 
Northwestern Hawaiian Islands from the shoreline of the islands and 
atolls seaward to 200 nautical miles, including all waters of the 
Monument. NOAA estimates the area encompassed in the proposed 
designation is approximately 582,570 square miles (439,910 square 
nautical miles).

C. Definitions

    This proposed rule incorporates and adopts common terms defined in 
the national regulations at 15 CFR 922.11. In addition, NOAA proposes 
to include 19 site-specific definitions. To the extent that a term 
appears in Sec.  922.11 and the definitions section of the proposed 
rule, the definition in the proposed rule would govern.
     The definitions for ``Bottomfish Species'' and ``Pelagic 
Species'' are adopted from regulations for Fisheries in the Western 
Pacific, 50 CFR 665.201 and 50 CFR 665.800.
     ``Ecological integrity'', ``Midway Atoll Special 
Management Area'', ``Native Hawaiian practices'', ``Pono'', 
``Recreational activity'', ``Special Preservation Area (SPA)'', 
``Stowed and not available for immediate use'', ``Sustenance fishing'', 
and ``Vessel monitoring system or VMS'', are adopted from Presidential 
Proclamation 8031.
     ``Commercial fishing'' and ``Non-commercial fishing'' are 
adopted from the MSA and, in part, from regulations for Fisheries in 
the Western Pacific, 50 CFR 665.12.
     ``Particularly Sensitive Sea Area (PSSA)'' is adopted from 
IMO Resolution A.982(24), December 1, 2005.
     ``Areas to be avoided (ATBA)'' and ``Office of Law 
Enforcement'' are adopted from Papah[amacr]naumoku[amacr]kea Marine 
National Monument regulations, 50 CFR 404.3.
     ``Outer Sanctuary Zone (OSZ)'' refers to the area of the 
sanctuary that would extend from approximately 50

[[Page 15277]]

nautical miles from all the islands and emergent lands of the 
Northwestern Hawaiian Islands to the extent of the seaward limit of the 
United States Exclusive Economic Zone west of 163[deg] West Longitude. 
This area of the proposed sanctuary would correspond with the area 
designated as a marine national monument by Presidential Proclamation 
9478, referred to as the ``Papah[amacr]naumoku[amacr]kea Marine 
National Monument Expansion'' or MEA. NOAA is proposing this definition 
to provide clarity to the public where there is a regulation that only 
applies to this area of the sanctuary, and not the entire sanctuary. 
The name ``OSZ'' is a placeholder, and NOAA is soliciting public 
comment on possible names for this area of the proposed sanctuary.
     ``Reporting Area'' refers to the area of the proposed 
sanctuary that extends outward ten nautical miles from the PSSA 
boundary, as designated by the IMO, and excludes the ATBAs that fall 
within the PSSA boundary. The reporting area is defined by the 
coordinates set forth in appendix E to the proposed rule. NOAA is 
proposing to define the ``reporting area'' to clarify in which areas of 
the proposed sanctuary ship reporting requirements apply.
     ``Scientific instrument'' is a term used in Presidential 
Proclamation 9478, but the term was not defined. Specifically, 
Presidential Proclamation 9478 prohibits ``drilling into, dredging, or 
otherwise altering the submerged lands, or constructing, placing, or 
abandoning any structure, material, or other matter on the submerged 
lands, except for scientific instruments''. NOAA proposes to define 
``scientific instrument'' to clarify what may or may not be permitted. 
NOAA proposes to define ``scientific instrument'' to mean ``a device, 
vehicle, or tool used for scientific purposes and is inclusive of 
structures, materials, or other matter incidental to proper use of such 
device, vehicle, or tool.'' In defining ``scientific instruments,'' 
NOAA's definition provides for the inclusion of ``structures, 
materials, or other matter incidental to proper use of such device, 
vehicle, or tool'' because, based on the type of activities previously 
permitted in the Monument, proper deployment and use of most scientific 
instruments requires more than the instrument itself. For example, 
there may be incidental ballast discharge associated with the use of a 
scientific instrument like a remotely operated vehicle, or ROV. A 
narrower definition of ``scientific instruments'' could unduly restrict 
NOAA's ability to permit activities in the area of the proposed 
sanctuary that overlaps with the MEA, the OSZ. NOAA believes a narrower 
definition would be inconsistent with the intent of Presidential 
Proclamation 9478, which states ``Undisturbed seamount communities in 
the adjacent area are of significant scientific interest because they 
provide opportunities to examine the impacts of physical, biological, 
and geological processes on ecosystem diversity, including 
understanding the impacts of climate change on these deep-sea 
communities. These seamounts and ridges also provide the opportunity 
for identification and discovery of many species not yet known to 
humans, with possible implications for research, medicine, and other 
important uses. Recent scientific research, utilizing new technology, 
has shown that many species identified as objects in Proclamation 8031 
inhabit previously unknown geographical ranges that span beyond the 
existing Monument, and in some cases the adjacent area also provides 
important foraging habitat for these species.'' These statements 
clearly demonstrate the significant scientific value of the MEA and 
underscore the opportunities for research and discovery to occur in 
that area of the proposed sanctuary.

D. Co-Management of the Sanctuary

    To enhance opportunities and build on existing protections, NOAA 
and the State of Hawai[revaps]i would collaboratively manage the 
sanctuary. NOAA would establish the framework for co-management in 
section 922.242 of the proposed rule and may develop a Memorandum of 
Agreement (MOA) with the State of Hawai[revaps]i to provide greater 
details of the terms of co-management. NOAA and the State may develop 
additional agreements as necessary to provide details on the execution 
of sanctuary management, such as activities, programs, and permitting 
that can be updated to adapt to changing conditions or threats to the 
sanctuary resources. Any proposed changes to sanctuary regulations or 
boundaries would be coordinated with the State and subject to public 
review as mandated by the NMSA and other Federal statutes. Co-
management of the proposed sanctuary with the State of Hawaii would not 
supplant the existing co-management structure for the Monument.

E. Access

    In PMNM, pursuant to Presidential Proclamation 8031, access is 
prohibited except under the following circumstances: (1) for emergency 
response and law enforcement purposes; (2) for activities and exercises 
of the Armed Forces; (3) for persons who have been issued Monument 
permits; and (4) for passage without interruption. For consistency, and 
to protect sanctuary resources, NOAA proposes extending the access 
restrictions which apply to the area of the proposed sanctuary that 
overlaps the PMNM to the area of the proposed sanctuary that overlaps 
with the MEA as follows:
    Access to the sanctuary would be prohibited and thus unlawful 
except under the following circumstances: (1) for emergency response 
actions, law enforcement activities, and activities and exercises of 
the Armed Forces; (2) pursuant to a sanctuary permit; (3) when 
conducting non-commercial fishing activities in the OSZ authorized 
under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act 
provided that no sale of harvested fish occurs; and (4) when passing 
through the sanctuary without interruption.
    A vessel may pass without interruption through the sanctuary 
without requiring a permit as long as the vessel does not stop, anchor 
or engage in prohibited activities within the sanctuary, and vessel 
discharges are limited to the following:
     Vessel engine cooling water, weather deck runoff, and 
vessel engine exhaust within a Special Preservation Areas or the Midway 
Atoll Special Management Area; and
     Discharge incidental to vessel operations such as deck 
wash, approved marine sanitation device effluent, cooling water, and 
engine exhaust in areas other than Special Preservation Areas or the 
Midway Atoll Special Management Area.
    A vessel passing through the sanctuary without interruption may be 
subject to the ship reporting system, as described below.
    The proposed access restrictions would be applied in accordance 
with generally recognized principles of international law, in 
accordance with sections 305(a) and 307(k) of the NMSA and the NMSA's 
Regulations of General Applicability at 15 CFR 922.1(b). No regulation 
shall apply to or be enforced against a person who is not a citizen, 
national, or resident alien of the United States vessels unless in 
accordance with generally recognized principles of international law.

F. Ship Reporting

    NOAA also proposes regulations to implement the ship reporting 
system (CORAL SHIPREP) adopted by the International Maritime 
Organization (IMO), which would require entrance and exit notifications 
for vessels that

[[Page 15278]]

pass without interruption through the sanctuary areas contained within 
a reporting area. NOAA proposes to establish this reporting area, which 
would be defined as ``the area of the proposed sanctuary that extends 
outward ten nautical miles from the PSSA [Particularly Sensitive Sea 
Area] boundary, as designated by the IMO, and excludes the ATBAs [Areas 
to be avoided] that fall within the PSSA boundary.'' The reporting area 
would be further defined by the coordinates set forth in appendix E to 
the proposed rule. Appendix E includes a coordinates table for the 
``Reporting Area Outer Boundary,'' which contains the reporting area's 
boundary surrounding the PSSA. Appendix E also includes coordinate 
tables for the ``Inner Reporting Area Boundary'' for each of the four 
ATBAs that fall within the PSSA, but which are not part of the 
reporting area.
    NOAA proposes exemptions for emergency response and law enforcement 
purposes, and for activities and exercises of the Armed Forces. 
Therefore, CORAL SHIPREP's requirements would not apply to vessels 
covered by those exemptions. The proposed regulations do not apply to 
vessels conducting activities pursuant to a sanctuary permit or vessels 
conducting non-commercial fishing activities in the OSZ authorized 
under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. The 
proposed regulations also do not apply to sovereign immune vessels. 
This is consistent with sections 305(a) and 307(k) of the NMSA, and the 
NMSA's Regulations of General Applicability at 15 CFR 922.1(b), which 
state that sanctuary regulations shall be applied in accordance with 
generally recognized principles of international law. No regulation 
shall apply to or be enforced against a person who is not a citizen, 
national, or resident alien of the United States vessels unless in 
accordance with generally recognized principles of international law.
    Requiring vessels to notify NOAA immediately 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 proposed sanctuary contained within the reporting 
area. The reporting area for the proposed sanctuary would not include 
the four voluntary ATBAs adopted by the IMO that are also within the 
PSSA. An ATBA is an area within which either navigation is particularly 
hazardous or it is exceptionally important to avoid casualties. While 
ATBAs 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. Because the four ATBAs in the PSSA are 
voluntary, as adopted by the IMO and implemented by these proposed 
regulations, the ATBAs are outside of the reporting area. Nonetheless, 
by virtue of entering or exiting an ATBA, vessels would also be 
departing or entering the reporting area, and, therefore be subject to 
the reporting area's requirements four times: (1) once when it enters 
the reporting area; (2) once when it leaves the reporting area to enter 
the ATBA; (3) once when it exits the ATBA and enters the reporting area 
on the other side of the ATBA; and (4) once when it once again leaves 
the reporting area. The potential burden of reporting four times is 
justified by the navigational hazards that exist within the ATBAs. The 
reporting area also includes three large areas within the PSSA that are 
not within the ATBAs. These breaks between the four ATBAs allow for 
north-south passages through the sanctuary areas contained within the 
reporting area that can be utilized for navigation to avoid ATBAs. 
Vessels passing through the sanctuary in these areas would only send 
email notification twice: once upon entering the reporting area, and 
again upon leaving the reporting area.
    NOAA is proposing to implement CORAL SHIPREP's requirements under 
the NMSA in keeping with the United States' and IMO's long-standing 
interest in providing additional protection to the natural, cultural, 
and historic resources in PMNM through ship reporting requirements. In 
June 2006, Presidential Proclamation 8031 directed the Secretary of 
Commerce and Secretary of Interior to require notification from any 
person passing through PMNM without interruption at least 72 hours, but 
no longer than 1 month, prior to the entry date, and within 12 hours of 
departure. Presidential Proclamation 8031 further indicated the 
specific types of information that must be provided in the 
notification. These notification requirements were subsequently 
codified in 50 CFR 404.4. Presidential Proclamation 8031 also directed 
the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of Commerce 
and Secretary of Interior, 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 accordance with Proclamation 8031, in April 2007, the United 
States proposed to the IMO that PMNM be designated as a 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 proposed PSSA and its 
associated protective measures would result in a minimal burden to 
international shipping, would significantly further increase maritime 
safety, protection of the fragile environment, preservation of cultural 
resources and areas of cultural importance significant to Native 
Hawaiians, and would facilitate responses to developing maritime 
emergencies. On April 3, 2008, the IMO designated the PMNM as a PSSA. 
As part of the PSSA designation process, the IMO adopted U.S. proposals 
for associated protective measures consisting of expanding and 
consolidating the six existing recommendatory ATBAs in the PMNM into 
four larger areas and enlarging the class of vessels to which they 
apply and establishing a ship reporting area and system for vessels 
transiting the PMNM, 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. In December 2008, NOAA and the USFWS published 
final regulations to establish a ship reporting system for PMNM, that 
implemented measures adopted by the IMO requiring notification by ships 
passing through PMNM without interruption (73 FR 73592). These 
regulations modified the previous notification requirements at 50 CFR 
404.4.
    NOAA is proposing to implement the ship reporting system as adopted 
by the IMO and to establish the reporting area using the boundary 
coordinates in appendix E to the proposed rule to provide additional 
protection to the natural, cultural, and historic resources in the 
proposed sanctuary. Accordingly, NOAA's proposed regulations build upon 
the requirements outlined in Presidential Proclamation 8031, and 
reflect additions made through the IMO's adoption of a ship reporting 
system and the implementation of that system in 50 CFR 404.4. NOAA

[[Page 15279]]

proposes minor language changes from the process adopted by IMO 
Resolution MEPC.171(57) and IMO Resolution MSC.279(85) to provide 
clarity to the public on which vessels are required to participate in 
ship reporting and the type of information that should be reported. 
NOAA proposes one substantive addition to the types of reporting 
information in the IMO Resolutions, that vessels report ``[a]ny 
pollution incident or goods lost overboard within the PSSA, the 
reporting area, or the U.S. EEZ.'' This addition was included in the 
December 2008 final regulations to establish a ship reporting system 
for PMNM.
    The NMSA provides NOAA with the authority to designate a national 
marine sanctuary and promulgate regulations implementing the 
designation if NOAA determines, among other things, that the area is of 
special national significance (see 16 U.S.C. 1433(a)(2)). NOAA's 
determination of special national significance is to be based on (1) 
the area's conservation, recreational, ecological, historical, 
scientific, cultural, archaeological, educational, or aesthetic 
qualities; (2) the communities of living marine resources it harbors; 
or (3) its resource or human-use values. In designating PMNM as a PSSA, 
the IMO expressly recognized the ecological, socio-economic, and 
scientific attributes of the area--including, a ``unique, fragile, and 
pristine coral reef ecosystem'' and ``significant cultural and 
archaeological resources''--and their vulnerability to international 
shipping activities (see IMO Resolution MEPC.171(57)). The IMO 
highlighted PMNM's (1) more than 7,000 species of fish, mammals, 
plants, coral, and other invertebrates; (2) critical habitat, spawning, 
and breeding grounds; (3) cultural significance to Native Hawaiians, 
rich underwater cultural heritage from the World War II Battle of 
Midway; and (4) unparalleled opportunities in scientific research. 
Given the IMO's findings in designating the PSSA and adopting a ship 
reporting system as an associated protective measure, NOAA's proposed 
regulations implementing CORAL SHIPREP are necessary and reasonable to 
conserve and manage this area of special national and international 
significance as part of the proposed sanctuary (see 16 U.S.C. 
1434(a)(1)(A)).

G. Activities That Are Prohibited or Otherwise Regulated

    NOAA is proposing to supplement and complement existing management 
of this area by proposing prohibited or otherwise regulated activities 
in section 922.244. Presidential Proclamations 8031, 8112, and 9478, 
and regulations implementing Presidential Proclamations 8031 and 8112 
at 50 CFR part 404 provide the foundation for the proposed 
prohibitions. However, minor changes are made in the proposed rule to 
remove discrepancies and gaps in prohibitions and regulated activities 
between PMNM and the MEA in order to allow for consistency in 
management across the proposed sanctuary.
    Within PMNM, the proposed prohibitions are all currently in place 
through 50 CFR part 404 except for prohibitions 1 and 4 (detailed 
below). Minor changes are proposed to prohibitions 1 and 4 to remove 
discrepancies across the two zones (PMNM and MEA). Regulations 
implementing Presidential Proclamation 9478 have not yet been 
promulgated for the MEA. Many of the prohibitions adopted in the 
proposed rule are identified in Presidential Proclamation 9478, which 
established the MEA. Any prohibitions proposed for the area of the 
proposed sanctuary that overlaps with the MEA that are not adopted 
directly from Presidential Proclamation 9478 are identified below.
1. Prohibition on Exploring for, Developing, or Producing Oil, Gas, or 
Minerals, or Any Energy Development Activities
    Consistent with the presidential proclamations establishing the 
Monument, NOAA is proposing to prohibit exploring for, developing, or 
producing oil, gas, or minerals to protect sanctuary resources and 
create a seamless management area throughout the proposed sanctuary. 
The addition of the prohibition on `any energy development activities' 
would be new for PMNM, and was added to further the underlying intent 
of the prohibition on oil, gas, and mineral development by accounting 
for technological advances in other forms of energy development.
    In addition to creating consistency across the two zones, this 
prohibition will help advance the proposed sanctuary's draft goals and 
objectives by protecting sensitive marine ecosystems such as fragile 
coral reefs and deep-sea corals, benthic habitat, and seamounts. 
Prohibiting oil, gas, and mineral development reduces the risk of 
offshore spills, such as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, that could 
significantly harm sanctuary resources. Deep seabed mining, oil and gas 
drilling, and other energy development activities, such as renewable 
energy system installation, destroys fragile benthic habitat, releases 
sequestered carbon, and spreads sediment plumes that can suffocate both 
sensitive shallow and deep-sea coral reefs, which negatively impacts 
nursery and foraging habitat for fish, and reduces the ecosystem's 
overall resilience.
2. Prohibition on Using or Attempting To Use Poisons, Electrical 
Charges, or Explosives in the Collection or Harvest of a Sanctuary 
Resource
    NOAA is proposing this prohibition to be consistent with 
prohibitions identified in the presidential proclamations establishing 
the Monument.
3. Prohibition on Introducing or Otherwise Releasing an Introduced 
Species From Within or Into the Sanctuary
    NOAA is proposing this prohibition to be consistent with 
prohibitions identified in the presidential proclamations establishing 
the Monument.
4. Prohibition on Deserting a Vessel
    Deserting a vessel is currently a regulated activity (allowed only 
with a permit) in PMNM pursuant to Presidential Proclamation 8031. 
Deserting a vessel is a prohibited activity in the MEA pursuant to 
Presidential Proclamation 9478. NOAA does not see a need to permit this 
activity and is proposing this prohibition in part to create 
consistency in management across the proposed sanctuary. Prohibiting 
this activity would help to prevent desertion of a vessel following a 
sinking, grounding, or other incident. Prevention is much less 
expensive than responding to a deserted vessel and can optimally 
prevent impacts and damage to sanctuary resources as well as to private 
property.
5. Prohibition on Anchoring on or Having a Vessel Anchored on Any 
Living or Dead Coral With an Anchor, Anchor Chain, or Anchor Rope
    NOAA is proposing this prohibition to be consistent with 
prohibitions identified in the presidential proclamations establishing 
the Monument.
6. Prohibition on Commercial Fishing and Possessing Commercial Fishing 
Gear Except When Stowed and Not Available for Immediate Use
    Presidential Proclamation 8031 provided that commercial fishing for 
bottomfish and pelagic fish in PMNM that was permitted by NOAA prior to 
June 16, 2006 was allowed to continue for 5 years from the date of the 
proclamation, until June 15, 2011. After that date, Presidential 
Proclamation 8031 prohibited commercial fishing for

[[Page 15280]]

bottomfish and associated pelagic species in PMNM. Presidential 
Proclamation 9478 also prohibits commercial fishing, as well as 
possessing commercial fishing gear except when stowed and not available 
for immediate use during passage without interruption in the MEA. NOAA 
is proposing a sanctuary-wide prohibition on commercial fishing and 
possessing commercial fishing gear except when stowed and not available 
for immediate use to be consistent with the presidential proclamations 
establishing the Monument.
7. Prohibition on Non-Commercial Fishing and Possessing Non-Commercial 
Fishing Gear Except When Stowed and Not Available for Immediate Use
    The presidential proclamations establishing the Monument broadly 
restrict the harvest of fishery resources by prohibiting removing, 
moving, taking, harvesting, possessing, injuring, disturbing, or 
damaging any living or nonliving monument resource, as well as attempts 
to do the same, except as may be allowed with a permit. As noted above, 
Presidential Proclamations 8031 and 9478 further specify prohibitions 
on commercial fishing and the possession of commercial fishing gear. 
The presidential proclamations also identify certain types of non-
commercial fishing that may be regulated (i.e., allowed pursuant to a 
permit or incidental to a permitted activity). Presidential 
Proclamation 8031, for example, authorizes sustenance fishing 
incidental to an activity permitted in PMNM. Presidential Proclamation 
9478, for example, provides that non-commercial fishing is a regulated 
activity (i.e., allowed only with a permit) in the MEA. In the 
sanctuary, NOAA is proposing, for consistency with the proclamations, 
that ``non-commercial fishing'' is prohibited unless conducted pursuant 
to a sanctuary permit or, as discussed below, authorized under the 
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) in the 
OSZ. The proposed rule adopts the definition of ``non-commercial 
fishing'' from the regulations for Fisheries in the Western Pacific, 
which is defined as ``fishing that does not meet the definition of 
commercial fishing in the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and 
Management Act, and includes, but is not limited to, sustenance, 
subsistence, traditional indigenous, and recreational fishing.'' 50 CFR 
665.12.
    NOAA also proposes that ``possessing non-commercial fishing gear 
except when stowed and not available for immediate use'' is prohibited 
unless conducted pursuant to a sanctuary permit or, as discussed below, 
authorized under the MSA in the OSZ. Presidential Proclamation 8031 
includes ``possessing fishing gear,'' as a regulated activity (allowed 
only with a permit) in PMNM. Presidential Proclamation 9478 prohibits 
possessing commercial fishing gear. NOAA's proposal creates continuity 
between the two areas, and aims to ensure that non-commercial gear is 
not utilized in an unauthorized manner that could lead to injury to 
sanctuary resources.
8. Prohibition on Drilling Into, Dredging, or Otherwise Altering the 
Submerged Lands; or Constructing, Placing, or Abandoning Any Structure, 
Material, or Other Matter on the Submerged Lands
    This activity is a regulated activity (i.e., allowed only with a 
permit) in PMNM under Presidential Proclamation 8031. In the MEA, 
Presidential Proclamation 9478 prohibits this type of activity, except 
for when conducted for the use of scientific instruments, which is 
allowed only with a permit, subject to such terms and conditions as the 
Secretaries deem appropriate. In the sanctuary, NOAA is proposing that 
these activities are prohibited unless conducted pursuant to a 
sanctuary permit. In the OSZ, such a permit may only be issued for 
scientific instruments.
9. Prohibition on Removing, Moving, Taking, Harvesting, Possessing, 
Injuring, Disturbing, or Damaging; or Attempting To Remove, Move, Take, 
Harvest, Possess, Injure, Disturb, or Damage Any Living or Nonliving 
Sanctuary Resource
    NOAA is proposing that these activities are prohibited unless 
conducted pursuant to a sanctuary permit, consistent with the 
presidential proclamations establishing the Monument.
10. Prohibition on Attracting Any Living Sanctuary Resource
    NOAA is proposing that these activities are prohibited unless 
conducted pursuant to a sanctuary permit. NOAA is proposing this 
prohibition to be consistent with a regulated activity identified in 
Presidential Proclamation 8031 for PMNM. This prohibition would be new 
in the area of sanctuary that overlaps with the MEA, the OSZ. 
Prohibiting this activity is intended to address the potential for 
harassment and disturbance from human interactions with living 
sanctuary resources.
11. Prohibition on Touching Coral, Living or Dead
    NOAA is proposing that this activity is prohibited unless conducted 
pursuant to a sanctuary permit. NOAA is proposing this prohibition to 
be consistent with a regulated activity (i.e., allowed only with a 
permit) identified in Presidential Proclamation 8031 for PMNM. This 
prohibition would be new for the area of sanctuary that overlaps with 
the MEA, the OSZ. However, prohibition 9 effectively includes this 
activity, as touching coral is considered a disturbance which may cause 
injury or damage. Therefore, regulating this activity for the area of 
the proposed sanctuary that overlaps with the MEA, the OSZ, is 
primarily a technical addition which provides clarity to the public and 
resource managers.
12. Prohibition on Swimming, Snorkeling, or Closed or Open Circuit 
SCUBA Diving
    NOAA is proposing that these activities are prohibited unless 
conducted pursuant to a sanctuary permit. NOAA is proposing this 
prohibition to be consistent with a regulated activity identified in 
Presidential Proclamation 8031 for any Special Preservation Area or the 
Midway Atoll Special Management Area. This prohibition would be new for 
areas of PMNM that fall outside of any Special Preservation Area or the 
Midway Atoll Special Management Area, and for the MEA. Expanding this 
regulated activity to the entire area of the proposed sanctuary allows 
NOAA to ensure that all in-water activities are done in compliance with 
the permit findings criteria and requirements, and are consistent with 
the care and management of sanctuary resources.
13. Prohibition on Discharging or Depositing Any Material or Other 
Matter Into the Sanctuary, or Discharging or Depositing Any Material or 
Other Matter Outside of the Sanctuary That Subsequently Enters the 
Sanctuary and Injures or Has the Potential To Injure Any Resources of 
the Sanctuary, Except as Described for Vessel Passage Without 
Interruption
    NOAA is proposing that these activities are prohibited unless 
conducted pursuant to a sanctuary permit. NOAA is proposing this 
prohibition to be consistent with regulated activities identified in 
Presidential Proclamation 8031 for PMNM. NOAA proposes an exception to 
this activity for vessel passage without interruption, so long as any 
discharge is limited to ``vessel engine cooling water,

[[Page 15281]]

weather deck runoff, and vessel engine exhaust within Special 
Preservation Areas or the Midway Atoll Special Management Area; and 
discharge incidental to vessel operations such as deck wash, approved 
marine sanitation device effluent, cooling water, and engine exhaust in 
areas other than Special Preservation Areas or the Midway Atoll Special 
Management Area.'' While this prohibition would technically be new for 
the area of the proposed sanctuary that overlaps with the MEA, the OSZ, 
Presidential Proclamation 9478 effectively includes this activity. 
Regulating this activity for the OSZ provides clarity to the public and 
resource managers. Further, the prohibition on discharges within or 
into the sanctuary is proposed in recognition that various substances 
can be discharged from vessels or from infrastructure or individuals 
along the shoreline that can harm sanctuary resources or qualities. 
Establishing a cohesive regulatory framework across the proposed 
sanctuary would benefit sanctuary resources and sanctuary users.
14. Prohibition on Anchoring a Vessel
    NOAA is proposing that this activity is prohibited unless conducted 
pursuant to a sanctuary permit. While this activity may be permitted 
via a sanctuary permit, anchoring on living or dead coral may never be 
permitted, as noted above under prohibition 5. NOAA is proposing this 
prohibition on anchoring a vessel, for consistency with a regulated 
activity identified in Presidential Proclamation 8031 for PMNM and 
because there is the potential for sanctuary resources, other than 
corals, to be impacted by anchoring. This prohibition would be new for 
the area of the proposed sanctuary that overlaps with the MEA, the OSZ. 
As stated above in Section E, NOAA proposes that a vessel may pass 
through the sanctuary without requiring a permit as long as the vessel 
does not stop, anchor or engage in prohibited activities within the 
sanctuary. Therefore, including this prohibition on anchoring a vessel 
also provides clarity to the public, resource managers, and enforcement 
personnel that all users of the proposed sanctuary--vessels conducting 
passage without interruption and permittees--are subject to the same 
prohibition on anchoring a vessel unless conducted pursuant to a 
sanctuary permit.

H. Exemptions for Emergencies

    Consistent with existing management of this area, the proposed 
prohibitions for the proposed sanctuary would not apply to any activity 
necessary to respond to emergencies that threaten life, property, or 
the environment, or to activities necessary for law enforcement 
purposes.

I. U.S. Armed Forces Exemption

    Consistent with existing management of this area, NOAA proposes a 
broad exemption to allow activities and exercises of the U.S. Armed 
Forces, including those carried out by the U.S. Coast Guard. NOAA 
recognizes that this broad exemption is necessary to ensure military 
readiness for the Department of Defense to conduct existing training, 
operations, and military readiness activities in the area proposed to 
be designated as a national marine sanctuary. The United States 
military has been able to maintain readiness and conduct training and 
other operations in other national marine sanctuaries based on similar 
broad exemptions.
    All activities and exercises of the Armed Forces shall be carried 
out in a manner that avoids, to the extent practicable and consistent 
with operational requirements, adverse impacts on sanctuary resources 
and qualities. For any actions of the Armed Forces that are likely to 
destroy, cause the loss of, or injure sanctuary resources, the Armed 
Forces must comply with the Interagency Cooperation requirements 
outlined in section 304(d) of the NMSA, regardless of whether those 
actions are exempted from the proposed sanctuary's prohibitions.

J. Exemption for Non-Commercial Fishing

    NOAA is proposing to exempt non-commercial fishing authorized under 
the MSA in the area of the sanctuary that overlaps with the MEA, the 
OSZ, from prohibitions 7 through 14 in the proposed rule, provided that 
no sale of harvested fish occurs. NOAA has prepared a separate proposed 
rule under the MSA which shall serve as the primary mechanism for 
authorizing non-commercial fishing activities. NOAA would periodically 
evaluate the effect of non-commercial fishing activities on sanctuary 
resources. Such evaluations would take into consideration the best 
scientific information available and evaluate whether additional 
actions are necessary for the proper care and management of Sanctuary 
resources, including fishery resources, consistent with goals and 
objectives of the Sanctuary. This exemption would only apply to the 
OSZ.

K. Sanctuary Permit Procedures and Criteria

1. Sanctuary General Permits
    NOAA is proposing to include authority to issue sanctuary general 
permits to allow certain activities that would otherwise violate 
prohibitions 7 through 14. The proposed permitting system is modeled 
after the existing Monument permitting system. The proposed permitting 
system would not supplant the joint permitting system for PMNM, and was 
developed to ensure a continued joint permitting system administered by 
Monument co-managers. NOAA may develop Memorandum of Agreements in the 
future to add further clarification on joint-permitting within portions 
of the sanctuary that overlap with existing permitting programs for the 
Monument.
    National marine sanctuary program-wide regulations at 15 CFR 922.30 
describe different purposes for which a sanctuary general permit can be 
issued. Three of these which would apply to this proposed sanctuary 
are:
     Research--activities that constitute scientific research 
or scientific monitoring of a national marine sanctuary resource or 
quality;
     Education--activities that enhance public awareness, 
understanding, or appreciation of a national marine sanctuary or 
national marine sanctuary resource or quality; and
     Management--activities that assist in managing a national 
marine sanctuary.
    NOAA is proposing to add two additional permit categories to 15 CFR 
922.30 under which a sanctuary general permit could be issued in the 
proposed sanctuary:
     Native Hawaiian Practices--activities that allow for 
Native Hawaiian practices within the proposed sanctuary; and
     Recreation--recreational activities within the proposed 
sanctuary limited to the Midway Atoll Special Management Area.
    NOAA is proposing these two additional general permit categories to 
be consistent with the types of activities permitted for the PMNM.
    The general regulations in 15 CFR part 922, subpart D, relating to 
the permit application process, review procedures, amendments, and 
other permitting stipulations would apply. These national permitting 
regulations include a list of factors NOAA considers in deciding 
whether or not to issue the permit, such as whether the activity must 
be conducted within the sanctuary, and whether the activity will be 
compatible with the primary

[[Page 15282]]

objective of protection of sanctuary resources and qualities. NOAA 
would be able to impose specific terms and conditions through a permit 
as appropriate.
    In addition to permit review procedures and evaluation criteria in 
15 CFR 922.33, some additional permit review criteria would apply in 
the proposed sanctuary, including additional criteria specific to 
Native Hawaiian Practices permits and Recreation permits. NOAA is 
proposing these additional permit criteria to be consistent with the 
permit criteria for PMNM.
2. Special Use Permits
    NOAA has the authority to issue special use permits (SUPs) in 
national marine sanctuaries, as established by section 310 of the NMSA 
(16 U.S.C. 1441) and by 15 CFR 922 subpart D. SUPs can be used to 
authorize specific activities in a sanctuary if such authorization is 
necessary to establish conditions of access to, and use of, any 
sanctuary resource or to promote public use and understanding of a 
sanctuary resource. Section 310 of the NMSA establishes four 
requirements for SUPs: (1) activities must be compatible with the 
purposes for which the sanctuary is designated and with protection of 
sanctuary resources; (2) SUPs shall not authorize the conduct of any 
activity for a period of more than five years unless otherwise renewed; 
(3) activities carried out under the SUP must be conducted in a manner 
that does not destroy, cause the loss of, or injure sanctuary 
resources; and (4) permittees are required to purchase and maintain 
comprehensive general liability insurance, or post an equivalent bond, 
against claims arising out of activities conducted under the SUP and to 
agree to hold the United States harmless against such claims. The NMSA 
authorizes NOAA to assess and collect fees for the conduct of any 
activity under an SUP, including costs incurred, or expected to be 
incurred, in issuing the permit and the fair market value use of 
sanctuary resources. Implementing regulations at 15 CFR 922.35 provide 
additional detail on assessment of fees for SUPs. As is the case with 
sanctuary general permits, NOAA can place conditions on SUPs specific 
to the activity being permitted. NOAA shall provide appropriate public 
notice before identifying any category of activity subject to a special 
use permit.
    NOAA is not proposing any new SUP category as part of this 
designation. In evaluating applications for special use permits, NOAA 
would consider all applicable permitting requirements, including 
permitting procedures and criteria under the Monument's existing 
management framework. For example, certain activities may be subject to 
the requirements of special ocean use permits, as authorized by 
Presidential Proclamation 8031, and issued by Monument managers in the 
PMNM via 40 CFR 404.11. Special ocean use permit requirements were 
modeled after SUPs, but also include a few additional requirements, 
such as for activities within the Midway Atoll Special Management Area.
3. Sustenance Fishing
    NOAA may authorize sustenance fishing outside of any Special 
Preservation Area as a term or condition of any sanctuary permit. 
Sustenance fishing is fishing for bottomfish or pelagic species in 
which all catch is consumed within the sanctuary. Sustenance Fishing is 
allowed incidental to an activity permitted in the PMNM under 
Presidential Proclamation 8031, and in regulations at 50 CFR part 404. 
Sustenance fishing was not specifically identified in Presidential 
Proclamation 9478 governing the MEA but is allowable. For consistency 
in management and permitting, NOAA proposes allowing for this activity 
as a term or condition of a general permit or special use permit.
4. VMS
    To complement existing management and provide consistency across 
the entirety of the sanctuary, an owner or operator of a vessel that 
has been issued a general permit or special use permit under 15 CFR 
subpart D must ensure that such vessel has a NOAA Office of Law 
Enforcement (OLE)-approved Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) on board when 
operating within the sanctuary. Presidential Proclamation 8031 requires 
an owner or operator of a vessel that has been issued a permit for 
accessing the PMNM to have an OLE-approved VMS on board. Such a 
requirement was not included in Presidential Proclamation 9478. For 
consistency in permitting, and for the reasons identified below, NOAA 
proposes to impose this requirement across the proposed sanctuary.
    NOAA proposes this requirement to support permit compliance, 
enforcement, and other incidental uses, consistent with the long-
standing history of considering and implementing the use of vessel 
monitoring systems in the area of the proposed sanctuary, beginning 
with Executive Order 13178 in 2000. In directing the Secretary to 
manage the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve, 
section 5(b) of Executive Order 13178 indicated that priority issues 
and actions must include enforcement and surveillance, including the 
use of new technologies, as well as the use of vessel monitoring 
systems, if warranted. The 2005 Final Reserve Operations Plan included 
an Enforcement Action Plan with strategies to investigate innovative 
technology that would be effective for this large, remote area, as well 
as to implement VMS. In 2006, Presidential Proclamation 8031, as noted 
above, required an OLE-approved VMS on board of vessels with permits to 
access the PMNM. VMS is currently being utilized in the PMNM and is 
part of the Monument Management Plan's Enforcement Action Plan. The 
Monument Management Plan highlights, as an example, that when the 85-
foot longliner Swordman I, carrying more than 6,000 gallons of diesel 
fuel and hydraulic oil, ran aground at Pearl and Hermes Reef in 2000, 
vessel monitoring system technology allowed agents to track the 
disaster and quickly send out equipment for an extensive cleanup.

L. Scientific Exploration and Research by the Department of Commerce 
and the Department of the Interior

    Presidential Proclamation 9478 stipulates that the prohibitions 
required by the proclamation ``shall not restrict scientific 
exploration or research activities by or for the Secretaries and 
nothing in this proclamation shall be construed to require a permit or 
other authorization from the other Secretary for their respective 
scientific activities.'' NOAA is proposing to exempt these activities 
within the OSZ to be consistent with Presidential Proclamation 9478.

M. Other Conforming Amendments

    The Regulations of General Applicability at 15 CFR part 922, 
subpart A, and the regulations related to National Marine Sanctuary 
Permitting, 15 CFR part 922, subpart D, would have to be amended so 
that the regulations are accurate and up-to-date. The modified sections 
to conform to adding a new sanctuary are as follows:
     Section 922.1 Purposes and applicability of the 
regulations;
     Section 922.4 Boundaries;
     Section 922.6 Prohibited or otherwise regulated 
activities;
     922.30 National Marine Sanctuary general permits;
     922.33 Review procedures and evaluation; and
     922.37 Appeals of permitting decisions.

[[Page 15283]]

IV. Requests for Comments

    NOAA is requesting comments on this proposed rule, including 
comments on the terms of designation and the proposed regulations, the 
DEIS, and the DMP for the proposed sanctuary. NOAA will publish the 
final EIS and final management plan following public review and comment 
on this proposed rule and following NOAA's consideration of substantive 
comments received. NOAA also requests comments on the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act certification and economic analysis. The preamble of 
the final rule will include responses to substantive comments received 
on the proposed rule. The full response to comments, which includes 
responses to comments made on the proposed rule, the DEIS, and the 
draft management plan, will be provided as an Appendix to the Final 
EIS.
    Sensitive personally identifiable information, such as account 
numbers and Social Security numbers, should not be included with the 
comment. Comments that are not related to designation of the proposed 
sanctuary or that contain profanity, vulgarity, threats, or other 
inappropriate language will not be considered.

V. Classification

A. National Marine Sanctuaries Act

    NOAA consulted with the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management 
Council (Council) as required by section 304(a)(5) of the NMSA. Through 
this consultation, NOAA provided the Council with the opportunity to 
recommend any draft fishing regulations it deemed necessary to 
implement the proposed sanctuary designation. NOAA initiated the 
consultation on November 19, 2021. On March 22, 2022, the Council 
agreed to develop draft fishing regulations for the proposed sanctuary. 
NOAA participated in six public meetings hosted by the Council on 
November 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 8th, and 10th of 2022, which were focused 
on the development of fishing regulations for the area of the proposed 
sanctuary that overlaps with the MEA. At its 193rd meeting in December 
of 2022, the Council provided a final recommendation. NOAA found that 
the final recommendation, in part, did not fulfill the purposes and 
policies of the NMSA and the goals and objectives of the proposed 
designation. The Council amended their recommendation during their 
194th meeting in March of 2023, and submitted a revised final 
recommendation to NOAA on April 14, 2023.
    In May of 2023, NOAA accepted the majority of the Council's 
recommendation as it fulfilled the purposes and policies of the NMSA 
and the goals and objectives of the proposed sanctuary designation. 
However, the Council's recommendation for the disposition of Native 
Hawaiian Subsistence Practices Fishing catch, which would provide 
permit applicants the ability to request limited cost recovery by 
selling their catch was rejected by NOAA via a decision letter dated 
May 31, 2023. As NOAA explained in the letter, any recommendation for 
the allowance of ``sale'' is inconsistent with the goals and objectives 
of the proposed sanctuary designation. NOAA Fisheries has prepared a 
proposed rule under the MSA and ONMS has prepared this proposed rule 
under the NMSA to reflect the outcome of the NMSA section 304(a)(5) 
process.
    Pursuant to section 304(a)(1)(C) of the NMSA, the Committee on 
Natural Resources of the House of Representatives, the Committee on 
Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate, and the Governor 
of Hawai[revaps]i will have the opportunity to review this proposed 
action.

B. National Environmental Policy Act

    As described in section I above, NOAA and the State of 
Hawai[revaps]i prepared a DEIS to evaluate the impacts of this proposed 
action of designating a national marine sanctuary, which considers four 
alternatives for the proposed designation of a national marine 
sanctuary in marine portions of the Monument. Copies of the DEIS and 
related draft management plan are available at the website listed in 
the ADDRESSES section of this proposed rule. NOAA is also soliciting 
public comments on the DEIS and DMP. The full response to comments, 
which includes responses to comments made on the proposed rule, the 
DEIS, and the draft management plan, will be provided as an Appendix to 
the Final EIS.

C. Executive Orders 12866: Regulatory Impact, 13563 Improving 
Regulation and Regulatory Review, and 14094: Modernizing Regulatory 
Review

    The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has determined this 
proposed rule to be not significant within the meaning of Executive 
Order 12866, as supplemented by Executive Order 14094.

D. Executive Order 13132: Federalism Assessment

    NOAA has concluded that this regulatory action does not have 
federalism implications sufficient to warrant preparation of a 
federalism assessment under Executive Order 13132 because NOAA 
supplements and complements State and local laws under the NMSA rather 
than supersedes or conflicts with them. This proposed rule will not 
have substantial direct effects on State or local governments. NOAA has 
coordinated closely with State partners throughout the development of 
this proposed rule and, where applicable and practicable, the proposed 
rule aligns with existing State regulations. NOAA has aimed for 
consistent regulations throughout sanctuary waters including those 
within State and Federal jurisdiction.

E. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA; 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) requires 
Federal agencies to prepare an analysis of a rule's impact on small 
entities whenever the agency is required to publish a notice of 
proposed rulemaking, unless the agency certifies, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 
605, that the action will not have significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities. The RFA requires agencies to 
consider, but not necessarily minimize, the effects of proposed rules 
on small entities. The goal of the RFA is to inform the agency and 
public of expected economic effects of the proposed rule and to ensure 
the agency considers alternatives that minimize the expected economic 
effects on small entities while meeting applicable goals and 
objectives.
    Pursuant to section 605(b) of the RFA, the Chief Counsel for 
Regulation of the Department of Commerce certified to the Chief Counsel 
for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration that this proposed 
rule, if adopted, would not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities. The purpose, context, and 
statutory basis for this action is described above and not repeated 
here. The analysis below discusses the potential effects of the 
proposed designation of marine portions of 
Papah[amacr]naumoku[amacr]kea Marine National Monument as a national 
marine sanctuary and serves as the factual basis for the certification. 
In summary, with this proposed rulemaking, small entities are not 
expected to experience significant impacts.

[[Page 15284]]

1. Description and Estimate of the Number of Small Entities to Which 
the Proposed Action Would Apply
    Under the Monument's existing management framework, activities in 
the Monument, with limited exceptions, require a permit. The same would 
be true in the proposed sanctuary. Based on permitting data for the 
Monument, there are six primary categories of regulated uses: (1) 
research; (2) conservation and management; (3) education; (4) Native 
Hawaiian practices; (5) recreation; and (6) special ocean use. Table 1 
shows the number of permits issued by category from 2018 to 2022. Based 
on permitting data, the types of entities applying for permits include, 
government, non-profits, artists, film and entertainment entities, 
education providers, and research organizations. Additionally, ship 
reporting is required for vessels that transit through portions of the 
Monument, and the types of entities impacted are identified as finfish 
fishing or deep-sea freight transit (73 FR 38375 (July 7, 2008)).

    The U.S. Small Business Administration establishes size standards 
for determining whether a business entity qualifies as small. NOAA has 
analyzed the types of entities that applied for permits by category and 
identified the relevant industries impacted by the proposed rule as 
colleges and universities, apprenticeship training, environment, 
conservation and wildlife organizations, civic and social 
organizations, television broadcasting stations, motion picture and 
video production, geophysical surveying and mapping services, 
independent artists, writers, performers, and museums. Each relevant 
industry is shown in the table below with the most recent size 
standards published by the U.S. Small Business Administration (2023). 
Size standards are based upon the average annual receipts (all revenue) 
or the average employment of a firm.

    Table 3 provides the approximate number of permits issued for each 
corresponding industry. The Monument permit application itself does not 
ask the applicant for their industry or if the applicant is a small 
entity. Therefore, the data presented below is based on limited

  Permit Records, 2023).

    Regarding ship reporting requirements, NOAA estimated there would 
be approximately 200-250 vessels passing through reporting areas of the 
proposed sanctuary without interruption that would be subject to 
providing entry and exit notifications, based on vessel traffic 
reported between 2017 and 2023.
    The data provided in Tables 1, 2, and 3 provide information on the 
type of permit applications, the industries that may be impacted, and 
the number of permits by corresponding industry. NOAA does not have 
economic data on whether the permittees within the corresponding 
industries are small entities or not. Due to the lack of quantitative 
data on the nature of businesses directly affected by the proposed rule 
including their levels of revenues, costs, and profits from their 
activities within the sanctuary, the analysis provided here is 
qualitative. Based upon site interactions and working relationships 
with permittees, the types of small entities that may be impacted by 
this proposed rule include academic and government institutions, non-
profit organizations, and broadcast and video production entities. In 
addition, 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.
2. Analysis of Small Entities
    The proposed sanctuary regulations would largely mirror the 
existing management framework for the Monument. There would be no 
effective difference in the permitting process between the proposed 
action and the status quo for permitting within PMNM. The proposed 
regulatory action would establish new permitting requirements for 
entities that seek access to areas of the proposed sanctuary that 
overlap with the MEA, the OSZ. While access restrictions for portions 
of the proposed sanctuary that overlap with the MEA would be new, the 
activities that may be permitted would be consistent with Presidential 
Proclamation 9478.
    Therefore, the proposed regulatory action would establish new 
reporting and recordkeeping requirements for entities that apply for 
permits in the area of the proposed sanctuary that overlaps with the 
MEA, the OSZ, but is not expected to have a significant economic impact 
on a substantial number of small entities for the following reasons. 
Based on the NOAA Monument manager's site knowledge and experience, the 
proposed regulatory action is not expected to result in an increase in 
the number of permit requests, as the majority of users operate in the 
area of the proposed sanctuary that overlaps with PMNM, and do not 
solely operate in the area of the proposed sanctuary that overlaps with 
the MEA. Additionally, the area under consideration is coextensive with 
the marine areas of the Monument, extremely remote (nearly 300 miles at 
its closest point from the main Hawaiian Islands), and very few 
entities operate there.
    Through this proposed rule, NOAA does not expect a significant 
reduction in profits for small entities. NOAA does not charge a fee for 
review and issuance of general permits, and there are only minimal, 
indirect costs associated with the time for an individual to complete a 
permit application and respond to any follow-up questions from NOAA. 
While NOAA may assess fees for the conduct of any activity authorized 
under a special use permit, fees are not required, and decisions are 
made on a case-by-case basis. No unique professional skills are 
necessary to meet these reporting requirements. In addition, the 
process by which all applicants apply for a permit, or complete entry 
and exit notifications for passage without interruption through certain 
areas within the proposed sanctuary, would not substantially differ 
from the current process. Therefore, these additional permitting 
requirements would not significantly reduce profits for a substantial 
number of small entities. The public reporting burden for Monument 
permits is provided in table 4. The public reporting burden differs by 
permit category.

  Permit Records, 2023).

    Under the existing Monument management framework, as a condition of 
a permit, permittees are required to have a NOAA OLE type-approved VMS 
on board when operating within the PMNM. The cost of a VMS unit is 
$3,150. Annualized over 3 years (the life of the unit) the cost per 
year is $1,050.00 per year with an additional

[[Page 15286]]

estimated $100.00 in annual maintenance costs, and $192.00 in VMS 
report transmission costs ($1.28 daily cost based on a high estimate 
that a permitted vessel may spend on average, 150 days per year in the 
Monument), for a total annual VMS cost of $1,342. The proposed rule 
includes this requirement for areas of the proposed sanctuary that 
overlap with both the PMNM and MEA. However, the proposed rule is not 
expected to result in an increase in the number of permit requests, as 
the majority of users operate in the area of the proposed sanctuary 
that overlaps with PMNM, and do not solely operate in the area of the 
proposed sanctuary that overlaps with the MEA. Therefore, this 
additional permit requirement is not expected to result in an increase 
in the number of required VMS units, or a significant financial burden 
to small entities.
    Through this proposed rule, the process for ship reporting for 
vessels transiting through areas of the proposed sanctuary would not 
substantially differ from the current process. The proposed regulatory 
action would not establish any new reporting or record-keeping 
requirements related to ship reporting.
    As described above, NOAA does not expect a significant reduction in 
profits for small entities, as the expected costs are minimal, indirect 
costs for permit applications, and does not expect an increase in 
permit applications as users are already required to have a permit to 
access PMNM. NOAA has concluded that the proposed rule would not have a 
significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. 
Therefore, an Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis is not required 
and none was prepared.

F. Paperwork Reduction Act

    Notwithstanding any other provisions 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 Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et 
seq., unless that collection of information displays a currently valid 
OMB control number.
    NOAA has an OMB control number (0648-0548) for the collection of 
public information related to the processing of PMNM permit 
applications and reports for permits. In the most recent Information 
Collection Request revision and approval for PMNM permits, NOAA 
reported approximately 74 permit respondents per year. NOAA's proposal 
to create a national marine sanctuary in the marine portions of the 
Monument is not expected to result in an increase in the number of 
requests for permits under this control number. Therefore, the annual 
public reporting burden hours for permits under OMB control number 
0648-0548 is not expected to increase. A large increase in the number 
of permit requests would require a change to the reporting burden 
certified for OMB control number 0648-0548. While not expected, if such 
permit requests do increase, a revision to this control number for the 
processing of permits would be requested.
    Please send any comments regarding the burden estimate for this 
data collection requirement or any other aspect of this data 
collection, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to NOAA (see 
ADDRESSES above). Comments can also be submitted to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Before an agency submits a collection of information 
to OMB for approval, the agency shall provide 60-day notice in the 
Federal Register, and otherwise consult with members of the public and 
affected agencies concerning each proposed collection of information, 
to solicit comments to:
     Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
     Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the 
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
     Minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate 
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology (e.g., permitting 
electronic submission of responses).

G. National Historic Preservation Act

    Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA, 54 
U.S.C. 306108) requires Federal agencies to take into account the 
effects of their undertakings on historic properties and afford the 
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) a reasonable 
opportunity to comment with regard to the undertaking. ``Historic 
property'' means any prehistoric or historic district, site, building, 
structure, or object included in or eligible for inclusion in the 
National Register of Historic Places maintained by the Secretary of the 
Interior. This term includes artifacts, records, and material remains 
that are related to and located within such properties, including 
properties of traditional religious and cultural importance to an 
Indigenous nation or Tribe or Native Hawaiian organization (see 36 CFR 
800.16(l)).
    The regulations implementing section 106 of the NHPA (36 CFR part 
800) establish a process requiring Federal agencies to: (1) determine 
whether the undertaking is a type of activity that could affect 
historic properties; (2) identify historic properties in the area of 
potential effects; (3) assess potential adverse effects; and (4) 
resolve adverse effects. The regulations require that Federal agencies 
consult with States, Tribes, and other interested parties when making 
their effect determinations. NOAA has determined that the designation 
of a national marine sanctuary and related rulemaking for sanctuary-
specific regulations meet the definition of an undertaking as defined 
at Sec.  800.16(y).
    In fulfilling its responsibilities under section 106 of the NHPA, 
NOAA initiated the section 106 review process with the State Historic 
Preservation Officer (SHPO) for the proposed sanctuary designation via 
letter to the State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD) through the 
Hawai[revaps]i Cultural Resource Information System on November 21, 
2021. NOAA also provided notice to the Advisory Council on Historic 
Preservation (ACHP) on November 21, 2021. These letters and supporting 
documentation identified the proposed Area of Potential Effect (APE) 
and began the process to identify consulting parties (CP). Invitations 
were sent to over 500 families and organizations having lineal and 
cultural connections to Papah[amacr]naumoku[amacr]kea, including 
cultural practitioners, Native Hawaiian Organizations, fishers 
(subsistence, recreational, commercial), and government agencies. As of 
January 21, 2023, NOAA received 31 requests to be a CP for the proposed 
sanctuary designation and NOAA has officially recognized the 31 CPs. 
NOAA will complete the identification of historic properties in the 
proposed APE and the assessment of the undertaking's potential to 
affect historic properties in consultation with the recognized 
consulting parties. To date, ONMS has conducted 6 meetings with 
recognized consulting parties. The NHPA section 106 review is ongoing, 
and additional consultations will be held following the release of the 
DEIS and DMP. As the DEIS is a joint Federal-State action, the State is 
also preparing a Cultural Impact Assessment (CIA) and Legal Analysis 
pursuant to the Hawai[revaps]i Environmental Policy Act (HEPA), 
Hawai[revaps]i Revised

[[Page 15287]]

Statutes (HRS) section 343, the corresponding Hawai[revaps]i 
Administrative Rules (HAR) section 11-200.1, and the Environmental 
Council's 1997 Guidelines for Assessing Cultural Impacts.

H. Sunken Military Craft Act

    The Sunken Military Craft Act of 2004 (SMCA; Pub. L. 108-375, Title 
XIV, sections 1401 to 1408; 10 U.S.C. 113 note) preserves and protects 
from unauthorized disturbance all sunken military craft that are owned 
by the United States government, as well as foreign sunken military 
craft that lie within United States waters, as defined in the SMCA. 
Thousands of U.S. sunken military craft lie in waters around the world, 
many accessible to looters, treasure hunters, and others who may cause 
damage to them. These craft, and their associated contents, represent a 
collection of non-renewable and significant historical resources that 
often serve as war graves, carry unexploded ordnance, and contain oil 
and other hazardous materials. By protecting sunken military craft, the 
SMCA helps reduce the potential for irreversible harm to these 
nationally important historical and cultural resources.
    The 1942 Battle of Midway occurred both at Midway Atoll as well as 
some 100-150 nautical miles north of the atoll in the northwestern 
portion of Papah[amacr]naumoku[amacr]kea. Aircraft carriers from the 
historic conflict have been located in the deep ocean, and multiple 
aircraft and sunken military vessels have been surveyed within the 
Midway Atoll Special Management Area. Yet, hundreds of aircraft, and 
several other aircraft carriers and destroyers from the battle remain 
to be discovered in Papah[amacr]naumoku[amacr]kea. Sunken military 
craft fall under the jurisdiction of a number of Federal agencies such 
as the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Coast Guard. NOAA and FWS coordinate very 
closely with the U.S. Navy and any other applicable Federal agency, 
foreign State, or State agency if found within State waters, regarding 
activities directed at sunken military craft discovered within the 
sanctuary.

K. Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA)

    Section 307 of the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA; 16 U.S.C. 
1456) requires Federal agencies to consult with a State's coastal 
program on potential Federal agency activities that affect any land or 
water use or natural resource of the coastal zone. Because the proposed 
sanctuary lies partially within State waters, NOAA intends to submit a 
copy of this proposed rule and supporting documents, including the 
DEIS, to the State of Hawaii's Office of Planning and Sustainable 
Development for evaluation of Federal consistency under the CZMA. NOAA 
will publish the final rule and designation only after completion of 
the Federal consistency process under the CZMA.

L. Executive Order 12898: Environmental Justice

    Executive Order 12898 directs Federal agencies to identify and 
address disproportionately high and adverse effects of their actions on 
human health and the environment of minority or low-income populations. 
The designation of national marine sanctuaries by NOAA helps to ensure 
the enhancement of environmental quality for all populations in the 
United States. The proposed sanctuary designation would not result in 
disproportionate negative impacts on any minority or low-income 
population. In addition, many of the potential impacts from designating 
the proposed sanctuary would result in long-term or permanent 
beneficial impacts by protecting resources, which may have a positive 
impact on communities by providing employment and educational 
opportunities, and potentially result in improved ecosystem services.

Subpart W--Papah[amacr]naumoku[amacr]kea National Marine Sanctuary


Sec.  922.240   Boundary.

    Papah[amacr]naumoku[amacr]kea National Marine Sanctuary consists of 
an area of approximately 582,570 square miles (439,910 square nautical 
miles) of Pacific Ocean waters surrounding the Northwest Hawaiian 
Islands and the submerged lands thereunder. The precise boundary 
coordinates are listed in appendix A to this subpart. The outer seaward 
sanctuary boundary begins approximately 200 nautical miles SW of Kure 
Atoll at Point 1 and continues from this point roughly north to each 
successive point in numerical order to Point 232 which is approximately 
204 nautical miles north of Kure Atoll. From Point 232 the sanctuary 
boundary continues roughly ESE to each successive point in numerical 
order to Point 609 which is approximately 200 nautical miles NE of 
Necker Island. From Point 609 the sanctuary boundary continues south to 
Point 610 which is approximately 90 nautical miles ENE of Necker 
Island. From Point 610 the sanctuary boundary continues roughly east 
and then SE and south to Point 635 which is approximately 50 nautical 
miles east of Nihoa. From Point 635 the sanctuary boundary continues 
roughly south and then SW and west to each successive point in 
numerical order to Point 662 which is approximately 71 nautical miles 
SW of Nihoa. From Point 662 the sanctuary boundary continues south to 
Point 663 which is approximately 236 nautical miles SSW of Nihoa. From 
Point 663 the sanctuary boundary continues roughly NW to each 
successive point in numerical order to Point 703 which is approximately 
200 nautical miles SSE of Necker Island. From Point 703 the boundary 
continues roughly NW to each successive point in numerical order to 
Point 1128 where it ends approximately 200 nautical miles SW of Kure 
Atoll. The inner landward boundary of the sanctuary follows the 
shoreline as defined by the State of Hawai[revaps]i (HAR Sec.  13-222).

enforcement purposes.
    (c) The prohibitions in paragraph (a) of this section do not apply 
to activities and exercises of the U.S. Armed Forces (including those 
carried out by the U.S. Coast Guard). This includes the U.S. Armed 
Forces' response to emergencies posing an unacceptable threat to human 
health or safety or to the marine environment and admitting of no other 
feasible solution. All activities and exercises of the U.S. Armed 
Forces shall be carried out in a manner that avoids, to the extent 
practicable and consistent with operational requirements, adverse 
impacts on sanctuary resources and qualities. These regulations shall 
not limit or otherwise affect the U.S. Armed Forces discretion to use,

with the scope, purpose, terms, and conditions of, a permit issued 
under this section and subpart D of this part.
    (b) Applications for permits should be addressed to the NOAA Inouye 
Regional Center, Office of National Marine Sanctuaries; ATT: Permit 
Coordinator,

[[Page 15291]]

Papah[amacr]naumoku[amacr]kea, 1845 Wasp Blvd., Building 176, Honolulu, 
HI 96818.
    (c) The Secretary may authorize sustenance fishing outside of any 
Special Preservation Area as a term or condition of any general permit 
or special use permit issued under this section and subpart D of this 
part. Sustenance fishing in the Midway Atoll Special Management Area 
shall not be allowed unless the activity has been determined by the 
Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or their designee to be 
compatible with the purposes for which the Midway Atoll National 
Wildlife Refuge was established. Sustenance fishing must be conducted 
in a manner compatible with this part, including considering the extent 
to which the conduct of the activity may diminish Sanctuary resources, 
qualities, and ecological integrity, as well as any indirect, 
secondary, or cumulative effects of the activity and the duration of 
such effects. The Secretary will develop procedures for systematic 
reporting of sustenance fishing.
    (d) An owner or operator of a vessel that has been issued a general 
permit or special use permit under this section and subpart D of this 
part must ensure that such vessel has a NOAA OLE type-approved VMS on 
board when operating within the sanctuary. OLE has authority over the 
type of VMS used and the installation and operation of the VMS unit. 
OLE may authorize the connection or order the disconnection of 
additional equipment, including a computer, to any VMS unit when deemed 
appropriate by OLE. The owner or operator of a vessel must coordinate 
with OLE to install and activate an approved VMS prior to departure.
    (1) When a vessel's VMS is not operating properly at sea, the owner 
or operator must immediately contact OLE, and follow instructions from 
that office. If notified by OLE that a vessel's VMS is not operating 
properly, the owner and operator must follow instructions from that 
office. In either event, such instructions may include, but are not 
limited to:
    (i) Manually communicating a vessel's location as directed by OLE; 
or
    (ii) Returning to port until the VMS is operable.
    (2) The following activities regarding VMS are prohibited and thus 
unlawful for any person to conduct or cause to be conducted:
    (i) Operating any vessel within the sanctuary without an OLE type 
approved VMS;
    (ii) Failing to install, activate, repair, or replace a VMS prior 
to leaving port;
    (iii) Failing to operate and maintain a VMS on board the vessel at 
all times;
    (iv) Tampering with, damaging, destroying, altering, or in any way 
distorting, rendering useless, inoperative, ineffective, or inaccurate 
the VMS, or VMS signal;
    (v) Failing to contact OLE or follow OLE instructions when 
automatic position reporting has been interrupted;
    (vi) Registering a VMS to more than one vessel at the same time;
    (vii) Connecting or leaving connected additional equipment to a VMS 
unit without the prior approval of OLE; and
    (viii) Making a false statement, oral or written, to an authorized 
officer regarding the installation, use, operation, or maintenance of a 
VMS unit or communication service provider.
    (3) As a condition of authorized access to the sanctuary, a vessel 
owner or operator subject to the requirements for a VMS in this section 
must allow OLE, the U.S. Coast Guard, and their authorized officers and 
designees access to the vessel's position data obtained from the VMS. 
Consistent with other applicable laws, including the limitations on 
access to, and use of, VMS data collected under the Magnuson-Stevens 
Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the Secretary of Commerce and 
the Secretary of the Interior may have access to, and use of, collected 
data for scientific, statistical, and management purposes.
