facilitate public involvement. The 

scoping process for the EA will include 

a 30-day period for submission of 

written comments on issues the U.S. 

should consider when, once a party to 

the Convention, implementing its 

relevant provisions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background on the Convention 

The Convention was opened for 

signature in Honolulu on September 5, 

2000, and entered into force in June 

2004. The Convention established a 

management body called the Western 

and Central Pacific Fisheries 

Commission (Commission), comprised 

of those States and entities that are 

bound to the Convention. The United 

States played an active role during all of 

the negotiating sessions and the 

preparatory conferences prior to entry 

into force. Domestic procedures 

allowing for U.S. adherence to the 

Convention, and thus membership to 

the Commission, are currently being 

processed by the Administration. Upon 

completion of these procedures, and 

action by the President, the U.S. will 

deposit its instrument of accession with 

the Convention’s depository in 2007, 

and become a party to the Convention 

and a Member of the Commission. The 

Territories of Guam and American 

Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the 

Northern Mariana Islands will also be 

eligible to participate in the 

Commission, in accordance with 

provisions of the Convention and the 

Commission’s Rules of Procedure 

governing the participation of 

territories. 

The current Parties to the Convention 

are: Australia, Canada, China, Cook 

Islands, European Community, 

Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, 

France (extends to French Polynesia, 

New Caledonia and Wallis and Futuna), 

Japan, Kiribati, Korea, Marshall Islands, 

Nauru, New Zealand (extends to 

Tokelau), Niue, Palau, Papua New 

Guinea, Philippines, Samoa, Solomon
