SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 

15, 2006, President George W. Bush 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 64 / Wednesday, April 4, 2007 / Notices 16329 

established the Northwestern Hawaiian 

Islands Marine National Monument by 

issuing Presidential Proclamation 8031 

(Proclamation) (71 FR 36443, June 26, 

2006) under the authority of the 

Antiquities Act (16 U.S.C. 431) (Act). 

On February 28, 2007, President Bush 

amended the Proclamation to give it a 

Native Hawaiian name, chosen by 

Native Hawaiians, that reflects 

Hawaiian language and culture. On 

March 2, 2007, the First Lady, Mrs. 

Laura Bush, presented the new name, 

Papaha ̄naumokua ̄kea Marine National 

Monument, to the public. 

Proclamation 8031 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 Monument is 

approximately 100 nmi wide and 

extends approximately 1,200 miles 

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, the 

Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife 

Refuge, the Hawai1i State Seabird 

Sanctuary at Kure Atoll, and NWHI 

State Marine Refuge. The Secretaries of 

Commerce and the Interior, and the 

Governor of Hawai1i signed a 

Memorandum of Agreement on 

December 8, 2006, to jointly manage 

Federal and State lands and waters 

within the Monument as Co-Trustees, to 

collectively protect, conserve, and 

enhance Monument fish, plant, and 

wildlife habitats, including coral reefs 

and other marine and terrestrial 

resources. 

During the last 5 years, as part of the 

National Marine Sanctuary designation 

process, NOAA actively sought input 

from Federal and State entities, Native 

Hawaiian leaders, the Northwestern 

Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem 

Reserve Advisory Council, and the 

public to develop a Draft Sanctuary 

Management Plan (available on the 

Internet at: http:// 

www.hawaiireef.noaa.gov). More than 

52,000 public comments were received 

during the sanctuary designation 

process. The Proclamation recognizes 

these efforts by directing the Secretary 

of Commerce, in consultation with the 

Secretary of the Interior and the State of 

Hawai1i, to modify, as appropriate, the 

draft Sanctuary Management Plan for 

management of the Monument. Another 

document relevant to Monument 

management, the Draft Interim Visitor 

Services Plan for the Midway Atoll 

National Wildlife Refuge, the Battle of 

Midway National Memorial, and the 

Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Marine 

National Monument’s Midway Atoll 

Special Management Area, was 

distributed for public review in 

December 2006. Comments submitted 

during the Sanctuary designation 

process and comments received on 

Midway’s Visitor Services Plan 

regarding issues that are subject to 

decision by the Co-Trustees (that is, not 

already decided by the President and 

memorialized in the Proclamation) will 

be considered when the agencies are 

determining the scope of the Monument 

Plan and during development of the 

Draft Monument Plan. Any additional 

comments at this stage should be 

focused on any new environmental 

issues identified as a result of new 

information or changed circumstances 

since the comment periods identified 

above. The Co-Trustees will develop comanagement strategies and activities to 

meet the needs of FWS, NOAA, and 

DLNR in the Monument Plan. 

The National Wildlife Refuge System 

Administration Act of 1966 (Refuge 

Administration Act), as amended by the 

National Wildlife Refuge System 

Improvement Act of 1997 (16 U.S.C. 

668dd–668ee), requires the FWS to 

develop a comprehensive conservation 

plan (CCP) for each national wildlife 

refuge. The purpose in developing a 

CCP is to provide refuge managers with 

a 15-year strategy for achieving refuge 

purposes and contributing toward the 

mission of the National Wildlife Refuge 

System, consistent with sound 

principles of fish and wildlife 

management, conservation, legal 

mandates, and FWS policies. In 

addition to outlining broad management 

direction on conserving wildlife and 

their habitats, CCPs identify wildlifedependent recreational opportunities 

available to the public. The State 

maintains its existing responsibility for 

managing State waters in the 

Monument, including the NWHI State 

Marine Refuge and Hawai1i State 

Seabird Sanctuary at Kure Atoll. NOAA 

maintains responsibility for the NWHI 

Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve, included 

within the Monument, and has primary 

responsibility regarding the 

management of the marine areas of the 

Monument, in consultation with FWS. 

It is the intent of the Co-Trustees to 

integrate agency planning and 

operational needs into a single 

Monument Plan. A draft Monument 

Plan will be distributed for public 

review and comment early in 2008. The 

Co-Trustees will also develop an 

environmental assessment in 

accordance with the requirements of the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969 (NEPA), as amended (42 U.S.C. 

4321 et seq.); NEPA Regulations (40 CFR 

parts 1500–1508); other appropriate 

Federal laws and regulations; and 

agency policies and procedures for 

compliance with those regulations.
