NOAA is designating Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary (CHNMS) in the waters along and offshore of the coast of central California to recognize the national significance of the area's ecological, historical, archaeological, and cultural resources and to manage this special place as part of the National Marine Sanctuary System. The sanctuary boundary encompasses 4,543 square miles (mi\2\) (3,431 square nautical miles (nmi\2\)) of submerged lands and marine waters from approximately two miles southeast of the marina at Diablo Canyon Power Plant in San Luis Obispo County to Naples along the Gaviota Coast in Santa Barbara County. NOAA is establishing the terms of designation for CHNMS and the regulations to implement the national marine sanctuary designation. NOAA has also published a final environmental impact statement (final EIS), final management plan, and Record of Decision.

Effective Date: Pursuant to section 304(b) of the National Marine Sanctuaries Act (NMSA) (16 U.S.C. 1434(b)), the designation and regulations shall take effect and become final after the close of a review period of forty-five days of continuous session of Congress, beginning on the date on which this Federal rulemaking is published, which is October 16, 2024. During that same review period, the Governor of the State of California may certify to the Secretary of Commerce that the designation or any of its terms are unacceptable, in which case the designation or the unacceptable term will not take effect in State waters of the sanctuary. The public can track days of Congressional session at the following website: https:// www.congress.gov/days-in-session. NOAA will publish an announcement of the effective date of the final regulations in the Federal Register.
