4. The Presidential Statement on 

United States Policy for the Protection 

of Sunken State Craft reads in full as 

follows: 

Thousands of United States 

government vessels, aircraft and 

spacecraft (‘‘State craft’’), as well as 

similar State craft of foreign nations, lie 

within, and in waters beyond, the 

territorial sea and contiguous zone. 

Because of recent advances in science 

and technology, many of these sunken 

government vessels, aircraft and 

spacecraft have become accessible to 

salvors, treasure hunters and others. The 

unauthorized disturbance or recovery of 

these sunken State craft and any 

remains of their crews and passengers, 

is a growing concern both within the 

United States and internationally. In 

addition to deserving treatment as 

gravesites, these sunken State craft may 

contain objects of a sensitive national 

security, archaeological or historical 

nature. They often also contain 

unexploded ordnance that could pose a 

danger to human health and the marine 

environment if disturbed, or other 

substances, including fuel oil and other 

hazardous liquids, that likewise pose a 

serious threat to human health and the 

marine environment if released. 

I believe that United States policy 

should be clearly stated to meet this 

growing concern. Pursuant to the 

property clause of Article IV of the 

Constitution, the United States retains 

title indefinitely to its sunken State craft 

unless title has been abandoned or 

transferred in the manner Congress 

authorized or directed. The United 

States recognizes the rule of 

international law that title to foreign 

sunken State craft may be transferred or 

abandoned only in accordance with the 

law of the foreign flag State. 

Further, the United States recognizes 

that title to a United States or foreign 

sunken State craft, wherever located, is 

not extinguished by passage of time, 

regardless of when such sunken State 

craft was lost at sea. 

International law encourages nations 

to preserve objects of maritime heritage 

wherever located for the benefit of the 

public. 

Those who would engage in 

unauthorized activities directed at 

sunken State craft are advised that such 

disturbance or recovery should not 

occur without the express permission of 

the sovereign, and should only be 

conducted in accordance with 

professional scientific standards and 

with the utmost respect for any human 

remains. 

The United States will use its 

authority to protect and preserve sunken 

State craft of the United States and other 

nations, whether located in the waters 

of the United States, a foreign nation, or 

in international waters.

right.

Federal Aviation Administration 

Public Notice for Waiver of 

Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance; R.I. 

Bong Memorial Airport; Superior, WI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of intent of waiver with 

respect to land. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) is considering a 

proposal to authorize the sale of a 

portion of the airport property. Land to 

be sold comprises 26.67 acres located in 

the west-northwest portion of the 

airport. This acreage is not needed for 

aeronautical use as currently identified 

on the Airport Layout Plan. 

The acreage comprising this parcel 

was originally acquired under Grant No. 

FAAP–9–47–022–6202, and AIP 3–55–

SBGP–05–96 (Superior 03). The 

intended use of the property is for 

construction of a middle school by the 

School District of Superior (Wisconsin). 

An environmental assessment was 

prepared to address construction of the 

middle school on this acreage, and a 

Finding of No Significant Impact was 

issued by the Federal Aviation 

Administration in March 2001. The City 

of Superior (Wisconsin), as airport 

owner, has concluded that the subject 

airport land is not needed for expansion 

of airport facilities. There are no 

impacts to the airport by allowing the 

airport to dispose of the property. The 

airport owner wishes to transfer 

ownership of the land to support 

construction of the middle school. 

Revenues received from sale of the 

property will be applied toward capital 

improvement projects at the airport in 

accordance with the Airport Capital 

Improvement Plan. Approval does not 

constitute a commitment by the FAA to 

financially assist in the disposal of the 

subject airport property nor a 

determination of eligibility for grant-inaid funding from the FAA. The 

disposition of proceeds from the 

disposal of the airport property will be 

in accordance with FAA’s Policy and 

procedures Concerning the Use of 

Airport Revenue, published in the 

Federal Register on February 16, 1999. 

In accordance with section 47107(h) 

of title 49, United States Code, this 

notice is required to be published in the 

Federal Register 30 days before 

modifying the land-use assurance that 

requires the property to be used for an 

aeronautical purpose.

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before March 8, 2004.
