[Public Notice 12243]
RIN 1400-AF74


Exclusive Economic Zone and Maritime Boundaries; Notice of Limits

SUMMARY: This notice provides updated information pertaining to the 
outer limits of the U.S. exclusive economic zone.

DATES: These limits are in effect as of December 21, 2023.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Amanda Williams, Maritime Geographer, 
Department of State, [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By Presidential Proclamation No. 5030 made 
on March 10, 1983, the United States established an exclusive economic 
zone, within which the United States may exercise its sovereign rights 
and jurisdiction as permitted under international law. The outer limit 
of the exclusive economic zone extends to a maximum distance of 200 
nautical miles from the baseline from which the breadth of the 
territorial sea is measured.
    The Department of State on behalf of the Government of the United 
States hereby announces updated information pertaining to the outer 
limits of the exclusive economic zone of the United States of America. 
The Government of

[[Page 88478]]

the United States has been, is, and will be engaged in consultations 
and negotiations with governments of neighboring countries concerning 
the delimitation of areas subject to the respective jurisdiction of the 
United States and of these countries. The outer limits of the exclusive 
economic zone of the United States as set forth in this notice are 
without prejudice to any negotiations with these countries or to any 
positions that may have been or may be adopted respecting the limits of 
maritime jurisdiction in such areas. Further, the limits of the 
exclusive economic zone set forth in this notice are without prejudice 
to the outer limits of the continental shelf of the United States where 
that shelf extends beyond 200 nautical miles from the baseline from 
which the breath of the territorial sea is measured in accordance with 
international law.
    This Public Notice supersedes all limits defined in the following 
Public Notices that variously defined the outer limits of the U.S. 
fishery conservation zone before 1984 and the U.S. exclusive economic 
zone beginning in 1983: Public Notice 506, 41 FR 48619 (November 4, 
1976); Public Notice 526, 42 FR 12937 (March 7, 1977); Public Notice 
544, 42 FR 24134 (May 12, 1977); Public Notice 4710-01, 43 FR 1658 
(January 11, 1978); Public Notice 585, 43 FR 1978 (January 11, 1978); 
Public Notice 910, 49 FR 31973 (August 9, 1984); and Public Notice 
2237, 60 FR 43825 (August 23, 1995). This Public Notice incorporates 
the limits agreed to in treaties that entered into force or are being 
provisionally applied since publication of Public Notice 2237, is based 
on more recent survey data, and corrects typographical errors.
    The coordinates in this notice use the World Geodetic System 1984 
(``WGS 84'') datum, unless otherwise noted. For the purpose of this 
notice, the North American 1983 Datum (``NAD 83'' (1986)) is considered 
equivalent to WGS 84. Some coordinates in this notice were derived from 
coordinates that used the North American Datum 1927 (``NAD 27'') or the 
World Geodetic System 1972 (``WGS 72'') datum. For those coordinates, 
the conversions to the WGS 84 datum were done using the National 
Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's Mensuration Services Program (MSP) 
Geographic Translator (GEOTRANS) version 3.8 and are noted in the 
relevant footnotes. In the case of a discrepancy, treaties and the 
judgment given by a Chamber of the International Court of Justice take 
precedence over the contents of this notice.
    The term ``straight line'' means a geodesic line, which is the 
shortest distance between two points on the referenced ellipsoid and is 
the most common method of linking coordinates defining maritime limits 
and boundaries.
    This notice is exempt from the requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553, to the 
extent those requirements apply, as it relates to a foreign affairs 
function of the United States. (See Title 5 U.S.C. 553 (a)(1).) This 
notice `` `clearly and directly' involve[s] activities or actions 
characteristic of the conduct of international relations,'' E.B. v. 
U.S. Dep't of State, 583 F. Supp. 3d 58, 66 (D.D.C. 2022), because it 
announces the locations of maritime boundaries agreed between the 
United States and other countries and the geographic limits within 
which the United States may exercise sovereign rights and jurisdiction 
in accordance with international law. See, e.g., City of New York v. 
Permanent Mission of India to United Nations, 618 F.3d 172, 201 (2d 
Cir. 2010). Since it is exempt from Section 553, the provisions of 5 
U.S.C. 553(d) do not apply, and this notice is in effect upon 
publication.

Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico

Gulf of Maine

    In the Gulf of Maine area, the outer limit of the exclusive 
economic zone is defined by straight lines connecting the following 
points: \1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Point 1 is from the Canada-U.S. International Boundary 
Commission (Point TP 15 of the official geographical coordinates of 
the boundary points in Passamaquoddy Bay, Section 1, in NAD 83). 
Points 1 to 10 are landward of the U.S. exclusive economic zone and 
define the limits of the U.S. territorial sea. The U.S. maritime 
limits from points 1 to 12 in areas adjacent to Canada do not 
correspond to limits of the maritime zones claimed by Canada, due to 
the dispute between the United States and Canada relating to the 
sovereignty over Machias Seal Island and North Rock. The line 
defined by points 12 to 15 reflects the judgment of a chamber of the 
International Court of Justice establishing a U.S.-Canada maritime 
boundary in the Gulf of Maine. Case Concerning Delimitation of the 
Maritime Boundary in the Gulf of Maine Area, 1984 I.C.J. Reports 246 
(Judgment of Oct. 12, 1984). The coordinates in the judgment have 
been converted from NAD 27 to WGS 84 for the purpose of this Notice.

Atlantic Ocean

    Between points 15 (seaward of the Gulf Maine) and 16 (north of the 
Straits of Florida), the outer limit of the exclusive economic zone is 
200 nautical miles from the baseline from which the breadth of the 
territorial sea is measured.
    From north of the Straits of Florida to the eastern Gulf of Mexico, 
the outer limit of the exclusive economic zone is defined by straight 
lines connecting the following points: \2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Points 113 to 138 correspond to the boundary points set 
forth in the Maritime Boundary Agreement between the United States 
of America and the Republic of Cuba, signed December 16, 1977, 
Senate Treaty Doc. 96-8. The treaty has been applied provisionally 
since January 1, 1978. The coordinates in the treaty have been 
converted from NAD 27 to WGS 84 for the purpose of this Notice. 
Point 139 corresponds to boundary point 1 set forth in the Treaty 
between the United States of America and the Republic of Cuba on the 
Delimitation of the Continental Shelf in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico 
beyond 200 Nautical Miles, signed January 18, 2017. The treaty has 
been applied provisionally since January 18, 2017.

Gulf of Mexico

    In the eastern Gulf of Mexico, between points 139 and 140, the 
outer limit of the exclusive economic zone is 200 nautical miles from 
the baseline from which the breadth of the territorial sea is measured. 
The 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone limit in this area 
intersects with the line connecting points 138 and 139 and with the 
line connecting points 140 and 141.
    In the central Gulf of Mexico, the outer limit of the exclusive 
economic zone is determined by straight lines connecting the following 
points: \3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Points 140 and 141 corresponds to boundary points 2 and 1, 
respectively, set forth in the Treaty between the Government of the 
United States of America and the Government of the United Mexican 
States on the Delimitation of the Maritime Boundary in the Eastern 
Gulf of Mexico, signed January 18, 2017, not in force. Point 142 
corresponds to boundary point GM.E-2 set forth in the Treaty on 
Maritime Boundaries Between the United States of America and the 
United Mexican States, signed May 4, 1978, entered into force 
November 13, 1997, TIAS 97-1113 (``U.S.-Mexico Treaty of 1978''). 
This point has been converted from NAD 27 to WGS 84 for the purpose 
of this Notice. Point 143 corresponds to boundary point 1 set forth 
in the Treaty between the Government of the United States of America 
and the Government of the United Mexican States on the Delimitation 
of the Continental Shelf in the Western Gulf of Mexico beyond 200 
Nautical Miles, signed June 9, 2000, entered into force January 17, 
2001 (``U.S.-Mexico Treaty of 2000''). Coordinates in this treaty 
are expressed in NAD 83.

outer limit of the exclusive economic zone is 200 nautical miles from 
the baseline from which the breadth of the territorial sea is measured. 
The 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone limit in this area 
intersects with the line connecting points 142 and 143 and with the 
line connecting points 144 and 145.
    To the west, the outer limit is defined by straight lines 
connecting the following points: \4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Point 144 corresponds to boundary point 16 set forth in the 
U.S.-Mexico Treaty of 2000 (footnote 3 of this Notice). Points 145 
to 147 correspond to boundary points GM.W-3 to GM.W-1 set forth in 
the U.S.-Mexico Treaty of 1978 (footnote 3 of this Notice) and have 
been converted from NAD 27 to WGS 84 for the purpose of this Notice.

    In the North Pacific Ocean, between points 87 and 88, the outer 
limit of the exclusive economic zone is 200 nautical miles from the 
baseline from which the breadth of the territorial sea is measured.
    From point 88, the limit of the exclusive economic zone off the 
coast of Alaska, seaward of the Dixon Entrance, is defined by straight 
lines connecting the following points: \13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ The U.S. maritime limits in areas adjacent to Canada in, 
and seaward of, the Dixon Entrance do not correspond to the limits 
of maritime zones claimed by Canada. Points 117 to 146 are landward 
of the U.S. exclusive economic zone and define the limits of the 
U.S. territorial sea. Point 146 is from the Canada-U.S. 
International Boundary Commission (Point TP 1 of the official 
geographical coordinates of the boundary points for the Portland 
Canal, Section 27, in NAD 83). Where the claimed limits published by 
the United States and Canada leave an unclaimed area within Dixon 
Entrance, the United States will exercise fishery management 
jurisdiction to the Canadian claimed line where that line is 
situated southward of the United States claimed line, until such 
time as a maritime boundary with Canada is established in the Dixon 
Entrance.

Special Areas Pertaining to the U.S.-Russia Maritime Boundary

    The 1990 Agreement between the United States of America and the 
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on the Maritime Boundary (U.S.-
Russia Agreement of 1990) recognizes areas on the east side (i.e., U.S. 
side) of the U.S.-Russia maritime boundary that are within 200 nautical 
miles of the

[[Page 88482]]

baselines from which the breadth of the territorial sea of the Russian 
Federation is measured but beyond 200 nautical miles of the baseline 
from which the breadth of the territorial sea of the United States is 
measured (``Eastern Special Areas'').\14\ Pursuant to article 3 of the 
U.S.-Russia Agreement of 1990, within Eastern Special Areas the United 
States may exercise the sovereign rights and jurisdiction derived from 
exclusive economic zone jurisdiction that the Russian Federation would 
otherwise be entitled to exercise under international law in the 
absence of the agreement of the two countries on the maritime boundary. 
The exercise of sovereign rights or jurisdiction by the United States 
in the three Eastern Special Areas described in this notice derives 
from the U.S.-Russia Agreement of 1990 and does not constitute an 
extension of the U.S. exclusive economic zone under international law.
