SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Statutory and Regulatory Background

    On June 15, 2006, President Bush established the Northwestern 
Hawaiian Islands Marine National Monument (Monument) by issuing 
Presidential Proclamation 8031 (Proclamation; 71 FR 36443, June 26, 
2006) under the authority of the Antiquities Act (Act) (16 U.S.C. 431). 
The Proclamation reserves all lands and interests in lands owned or 
controlled by the Government of the United States in the Northwestern 
Hawaiian Islands (NWHI), including emergent and submerged lands and 
waters, out to a distance of approximately 50 nautical miles (nmi) from 
the islands. The outer boundary of the Monument is approximately 100 
nmi wide and extends approximately 1200 nmi around coral islands, 
seamounts, banks, and shoals. The area includes the Northwestern 
Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve, the Midway Atoll 
National Wildlife Refuge/Battle of Midway National Memorial, and the 
Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife Refuge. The Monument was renamed the 
Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument by Proclamation 8112 (72 FR 
10029, February 28, 2007).
    The Proclamation provides that the Secretary of Commerce, through 
NOAA, has primary responsibility regarding the management of the marine 
areas of the Monument, in consultation with the Secretary of the 
Interior. The Secretary of the Interior, through the USFWS, has sole 
responsibility for management of the areas of the Monument that overlay 
the Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge, the Battle of Midway 
National Memorial, and the Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife Refuge, 
in consultation with the Secretary of Commerce. Further, the 
Proclamation provides that nothing in the Proclamation diminishes or 
enlarges the jurisdiction of the State of Hawaii. The Monument includes 
state waters, including the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands State Marine 
Refuge and State Seabird Sanctuary at Kure Atoll. The State currently 
holds the submerged and ceded lands of the NWHI in trust. This public 
trust is overseen by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs through an 
amendment to the Constitution of the State of Hawaii. The State of 
Hawaii has primary responsibility for managing the State waters of the 
Monument.
    In 2006 NOAA and USFWS published joint regulations codifying the 
provisions of the Proclamation (71 FR 51134, August 29, 2006). With 
certain exceptions, the Proclamation and the joint regulations restrict 
access to the Monument to persons who have been issued Monument 
permits. Vessels that do not have permits cannot enter the Monument 
except for uninterrupted passage through the Monument and notice must 
be provided to NOAA by telephone, fax, or e-mail not less than 72 hours 
and not more than one month prior to passing through the Monument. 
Notice must also be provided not more than twelve hours after the 
vessel has exited the Monument. All of the terms of the Proclamation 
and the regulations are applied in accordance with international law.
    The Proclamation directed the Secretary of State, in consultation 
with the Secretaries of Commerce and the Interior, to take appropriate 
action to enter into negotiations with other governments to make 
necessary arrangements for the protection of the Monument and to 
promote the purposes for which it was established. The Proclamation 
further directed the Secretary of State to seek the cooperation of 
other governments and international organizations in furtherance of the 
purposes of the Proclamation and consistent with applicable regional 
and multilateral arrangements for the protection and management of 
special marine areas.
    In April 2007 and in accordance with the Proclamation, the United 
States proposed to the International Maritime Organization (IMO), a 
specialized agency of the United Nations, that the Monument be 
designated as a Particularly Sensitive Sea Area (PSSA) to protect the 
attributes of the fragile and integrated coral reef ecosystem from 
potential hazards associated with international shipping activities. 
The U.S. noted in its proposal that the burden on international 
shipping by the proposed PSSA and its associated protective measures 
would be minimal while its objectives--increased maritime safety, 
protection of the fragile environment, preservation of cultural 
resources and areas of cultural importance significant to Native 
Hawaiians, as well as facilitation of the ability to respond to 
developing maritime emergencies--would be significantly furthered. PSSA 
designation had been granted previously to only ten marine areas 
globally, including the marine areas around the Florida Keys, the Great 
Barrier Reef, and the Galapagos.
    On April 3, 2008, the IMO designated the Monument as a PSSA. As 
part of the PSSA designation process, the IMO adopted U.S. proposals 
for associated protective measures consisting of (1) expanding and 
consolidating the six existing recommendatory Areas To Be Avoided 
(ATBA's) in the Monument into four larger areas and enlarging the class 
of vessels to which they apply; and (2) establishing a ship reporting 
system for vessels transiting the Monument, which is mandatory for 
ships 300 gross tons or greater that are entering or departing a U.S. 
port or place and recommended for other ships. The system requires that 
ships notify the U.S. shore-based authority (i.e., the U.S. Coast 
Guard; NOAA will be receiving all messages associated with this program 
on behalf of the Coast Guard) at the time they begin transiting the 
reporting area and again when they exit. Notification is made by e-mail 
through the Inmarsat-C system or other satellite communication system. 
It is estimated that almost all commercial vessel traffic will be able 
to report via Inmarsat-C.
    The PSSA and associated protective measures were adopted to provide 
additional protection to the exceptional natural, cultural and historic 
resources in the Monument. Requiring vessels to notify NOAA upon 
entering the reporting area will help make the operators of these 
vessels aware that they are traveling through a fragile area with 
potential navigational hazards such as the extensive coral reefs found 
in many shallow areas of the Monument. The PSSA is now in effect, and 
the IMO has provided for an effective date for the associated 
protective measures of May 1, 2008.
    NOAA and USFWS are establishing the infrastructure that will be 
required to maintain an international ship reporting system and to 
ensure that information regarding PSSA designation will be incorporated 
into nautical charts and other information sources. This proposed rule 
would implement the mandatory ship reporting system as adopted by IMO, 
establish the reporting area using the IMO boundary coordinates, and 
publish the coordinates of the four ATBA's.

II. Summary of the Proposed Regulations

    These regulations would apply to vessels that do not have permits 
to enter the Monument and that would pass through the Monument without 
interruption. The regulations propose the following actions:

[[Page 38377]]

    (1) Modify the current notification requirements (at 50 CFR 404.4) 
for passing through the Monument without interruption and add several 
new associated terms and definitions (at Sec.  404.3);
    (2) establish a reporting area around the Monument, extending 
outward ten nautical miles from the Monument boundary but excluding the 
ATBA's within the Monument;
    (3) describe the categories of vessels to which the reporting 
requirement would apply;
    (4) specify the type of information regarding the vessel, its 
location, etc. that would be required in the e-mail to NOAA and would 
be sent in a reporting format that is consistent with the reporting 
system adopted by IMO;
    (5) allow for vessels that do not have e-mail capability to 
continue compliance with the current prior notification requirements;
    (6) recommend voluntary participation in the reporting system for 
all other vessels that are not required to notify NOAA; and
    (7) publish the revised boundaries of the four voluntary ATBA's.
    Each of these elements of the proposed regulations is described 
below.

A. Modification of Existing Notification Requirements

    Current Monument regulations at 50 CFR 404.4 prohibit entry into 
the Monument except in certain situations. One of the exceptions is for 
vessels passing through the Monument without interruption. Those 
vessels, however, are currently required to provide notice prior to 
entering and after leaving the Monument. Notification of entry must be 
provided at least 72 hours, but no longer than 1 month, prior to the 
entry date. Notification of departure from the Monument must be 
provided within 12 hours of leaving. Notification may be made by e-
mail, telephone, or fax and must include the following information: 
position when making the report; vessel name and IMO identification 
number; name, address, and telephone number of owner and operator; 
United States Coast Guard documentation, state license, or registration 
number; home port; intended and actual route through the Monument; 
general categories of any hazardous cargo on board; and length of 
vessel and propulsion type (e.g., motor or sail).
    The proposed regulations would replace the current notification 
requirements for vessels that have e-mail capability. Vessels without 
e-mail capability would continue to provide notification as required 
currently but the type of information to be provided would be modified 
by these regulations as described below.
    The following terms would be added to the definitions in the 
regulations at 50 CFR 404.3 to facilitate implementation of the 
proposed ship reporting requirements: ``Areas to be avoided''; 
``Categories of hazardous cargoes''; ``IMO''; and ``Reporting area.'' 
The definitions to these terms are contained in the text of the 
proposed regulations.

B. Reporting Area

    The proposed regulations would create a reporting area extending 
ten miles out and entirely around the Monument boundary. The 
coordinates of the proposed area are set forth in Appendix D of the 
proposed regulations and are the same as the coordinates that were 
adopted by IMO when it accepted the PSSA in principle and adopted the 
associated protective measures for the PSSA in 2007. Certain categories 
of vessels (described below) that intend to pass through the Monument 
without interruption would be required to e-mail certain information at 
the time they cross the reporting area boundary and again when they 
exit the reporting area after having passed through the Monument.
    The reporting area would not include the ATBA's within the 
Monument. As such, vessels that pass through an ATBA while passing 
through the Monument would be required to notify NOAA at the time they 
exit the reporting area and enter the ATBA, and again when they exit 
the ATBA and re-enter the reporting area.
    There are three large areas of the Monument (within the reporting 
area) that are not within the IMO-designated ATBA's. These breaks 
between the four ATBA's allow for primarily north-south passage through 
the Monument. From west to east, these areas are in the following 
locations and are shown in Figure 1: between the ATBA's extending 
around Pearl and Hermes Atoll and Lisianski Island; between the ATBA's 
around Maro Reef and Gardner Pinnacles; and between the ATBA's around 
Mokumanamana (Necker Island) and Nihoa Island. It is anticipated that 
vessels will navigate through the Monument via these areas. Vessels 
passing through the Monument in these areas would only send e-mail 
notification upon entering the reporting area and again upon leaving 
it.

C. Vessels That Would Be Required To Provide Notification

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

D. Specific Information and Reporting Format That Would Be Required for 
Entry and Exit Notifications by Vessels With E-mail Capability

    The information that each vessel would be required to submit and 
the format in which it would be submitted are shown in Appendix E to 
the proposed regulations. The information that would be provided upon 
entering the reporting area and the reporting format are based on and 
consistent with the reporting requirements adopted by IMO and would 
include: Vessel identification information (i.e., name, call sign, 
flag, IMO identification number); date and time of entry; position; 
true course; speed in knots and tenths; destination and estimated time 
of arrival; intended route through the reporting area; vessel draft; 
categories of hazardous cargoes on board; any vessel defects or 
deficiencies that restrict maneuverability or impair normal navigation; 
any pollution incident or goods lost overboard within the Monument, 
reporting area, or the U.S. EEZ; contact information for the vessel's 
agent or owner; vessel size (length overall, gross tonnage) and type; 
and total number of persons on board. Information required when the 
vessel leaves the reporting area would include: Vessel identification 
information (i.e., name, call sign, flag, IMO identification number); 
date and time of exit; position; and any pollution incident or goods 
lost overboard within the Monument, reporting area, or the U.S. EEZ.
    The system that is being established to receive the notifications 
would be based on Inmarsat-C and NOAA would assume the cost associated 
with Inmarsat-C transmissions to the e-mail address provided under this 
program. This rule would not require a vessel to install or use 
Inmarsat-C, but NOAA would not assume costs associated with e-mail 
transmissions sent through other satellite communications systems.

E. Specific Information and Reporting Format That Would Be Required for 
Entry and Exit Notifications by Vessels Without Onboard E-mail 
Capability

    Vessels of the United States less than 300 gross tons that do not 
have onboard e-mail capability would be required to submit the 
following information not less than 72 hours but not more than one 
month prior to entering the Monument for uninterrupted passage: Vessel 
identification information (e.g., name, call sign, flag, IMO 
identification number); date and time of entry; position (as 
applicable); destination and estimated time of arrival; intended route 
through the Monument and the reporting area; vessel draft; categories 
of hazardous cargoes on board (as applicable); any vessel defects or 
deficiencies that restrict maneuverability or impair normal navigation; 
contact information for the vessel's agent or owner; vessel size 
(length overall, gross tonnage) and type; and total number of persons 
on board. Upon exiting the Monument these vessels would be required to 
provide the following information within 12 hours of leaving: Vessel 
identification information (e.g., name, call sign, flag, IMO 
identification number); date and time of exit; position; and any 
pollution incident or goods lost overboard within the Monument, 
reporting area, or the U.S. EEZ. This information could be submitted by 
nonvessel-based e-mail (e.g., from home or office), fax, or telephone. 
Once a vessel is equipped with an onboard e-mail system, however, it 
would be required to comply with the requirements for vessels with that 
capability, and the reporting format shown in Appendix E to the 
regulations would be required.

F. Voluntary Participation in the Ship Reporting System by All Other 
Vessels

    Vessels that would not be required to participate in the ship 
reporting system are nevertheless strongly urged to participate on a 
voluntary basis. Participation would help make the operators of these 
vessels aware that they are traveling through a fragile area with 
potential navigational hazards such as the extensive coral reefs found 
in many shallow areas of the Monument. Voluntary participation would 
increase maritime safety, protection of the fragile environment, 
preservation of cultural resources and areas of cultural importance 
significant to Native Hawaiians. Participation would also facilitate 
the ability to respond to developing maritime emergencies.

G. Modification of the Areas To Be Avoided (ATBA's)

    An ATBA is an area within which either navigation is particularly 
hazardous or it is exceptionally important to avoid casualties. As 
such, ATBA's should be avoided by all ships, or certain classes of 
ships. While ATBA's can be mandatory (i.e., vessels are required by 
applicable law to avoid and operate outside of the area) most are 
voluntary and vessels may travel through them. The IMO adopted six 
voluntary ATBA's in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands in 1980. Part of 
the action taken in 2008 by the IMO was to enlarge the six original 
ATBA's so that they now connect in certain places resulting in four 
larger ATBA's. This proposed rule would publish the coordinates of 
these four ATBA's. The coordinates are attached to the proposed 
regulations as Appendix C. The ATBA's would not be part of the 
reporting area and vessels that enter any ATBA while passing through 
the Monument without interruption would be required to provide an exit 
notification upon entering the ATBA, an entry notification again upon 
reentering the reporting area, and a second exit notification when the 
vessel departed the reporting area and the Monument on the other side. 
Thus, transiting through the Monument via an ATBA would require four 
reports as compared with the two reports required for transiting the 
Monument between the ATBA's.

III. Classification

A. National Environmental Policy Act

    A draft environmental assessment has been prepared to evaluate the 
proposed revisions to the reporting requirements. Copies are available 
at the address and Web site listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 
proposed rule. Responses to comments received on this proposed rule 
will be published in the final environmental assessment and preamble to 
the final rule.

B. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Impact

    This proposed rule has been determined to be not significant within 
the meaning of Executive Order 12866.

C. Executive Order 13132: Federalism Assessment

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

D. Paperwork Reduction Act

    This proposed rule would be part of a collection-of-information 
requirement that was approved by OMB and granted OMB control number 
0648-0548.
    The public reporting burden for entry and exit notification is 
expected to average 15 minutes per response. This public reporting 
burden includes the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing 
data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing 
and reviewing the collection of information.
    Public comment is sought regarding: Whether this collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; the accuracy of the burden estimate; ways to enhance the 
quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and 
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information, including 
through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology. Send comments on these or any other aspects of 
the collection of information to Diana Hynek, Departmental Paperwork 
Clearance Officer, Department of Commerce, Room 6625, 14th and 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230, or via e-mail at 
[email protected].
    Notwithstanding any other provision of the law, no person is 
required to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty 
for failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the 
requirements of the PRA, unless that collection of information displays 
a currently valid OMB Control Number.

E. Regulatory Flexibility Act

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

IV. Request for Comments

    NOAA and USFWS request comments on this proposed rule amending the 
regulations published on August 29, 2006 (71 FR 51134), particularly

Reporting System

    Immediately upon crossing the reporting area boundary, 
notification should be sent as a direct e-mail to 
[email protected] in the prescribed format and data syntax 
shown. Use of batch message routing services which may delay receipt 
of a report should not be used. Failure to follow the exact format 
(e.g., extra information, extraneous characters, or double spacing) 
may cause the automated computer system to reject your report. Note: 
Report transmission costs via INMARSAT-C will be assumed by NOAA.
