SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CCNM RMP provides direction for managing 
the approximate 1000 acres of offshore rocks, small islands, exposed 
reefs, and pinnacles that comprise the Monument. The Monument was 
established by Presidential Proclamation No. 7264 on January 11, 2000, 
under the authority of the Antiquities Act of 1906. The Monument lies 
within the jurisdiction of 15 California counties and five BLM field 
offices, and at least 25% of the coastal portion of the mainland 
adjacent to the Monument is contained within the California State Parks 
System. Planning for the Monument officially began with a Federal 
Register notice on April 24, 2002 initiating scoping. The California 
Department of Fish and Game, the California Department of Parks and 
Recreation, the United States Air Force, and the Cher-Ae Heights Indian 
Community of the Trinidad Rancheria, a federally recognized tribe, are 
cooperating agencies in the development of this RMP. BLM sought public 
and governmental participation in the development of this RMP and will 
continue to pursue partnerships in the management of the Monument. 
Because of the unique nature of the CCNM, many governmental entities 
have jurisdiction over resources immediately adjacent to the monument 
and are integrally important to meeting the goals and objectives for 
the Monument, as established in the RMP.

    Dated: August 5, 2005.
Mike Pool,
State Director.
