sanctuary designation. The final rule 

establishing the SNP included a fiveyear limit on any nomination added to 

the inventory that NOAA does not 

advance for designation. 

In November 2019, NOAA issued a 

Federal Register notice (84 FR 61546) to 

clarify procedures for evaluating and 

updating a nomination as it approaches 

the five-year mark on the inventory of 

areas that could be considered for 

national marine sanctuary designation. 

This notice explained that if a 

nomination remains responsive to the 

evaluation criteria for inclusion on the 

inventory, NOAA could keep the 

nomination on the inventory for another 

five years. The notice also established a 

process for NOAA to consider the 

continuing viability of nominations 

nearing the five-year expiration mark. 

The nomination for Hudson Canyon 

proposal is scheduled to expire in 

February 2022. The full nomination can 

be found at https://nominate.noaa.gov/ 

nominations/. 

NOAA is not proposing to designate 

Hudson Canyon as a national marine 

sanctuary with this action. Instead, 

comments should identify any new or 

changing information relative to 

NOAA’s 11 sanctuary nomination 

evaluation criteria (https://

nominate.noaa.gov/guide.html). 

Comments that do not pertain to 

information supporting the evaluation 

criteria, or present new information on 

the Hudson Canyon NMS nomination, 

will not be considered in NOAA’s 

decision on whether to retain this 

nomination in the inventory. 

Should NOAA conclude that the 

Hudson Canyon NMS nomination no 

longer meets its evaluation criteria and 

decide to remove it from the inventory, 

NOAA would notify the nominator 

directly via letter, and the public via 

notice in the Federal Register and a web 

posting at ‘‘nominate.noaa.gov.’’

SUMMARY: The Office of National Marine 

Sanctuaries (ONMS) of the National 

Oceanic and Atmospheric

five-year review of the nomination for 

the Mariana Trench National Marine 

Sanctuary (NMS) at the five-year 

interval. In particular, NOAA is 

requesting relevant information as it 

pertains to its 11 evaluation criteria for 

inclusion in the inventory. In this fiveyear review, NOAA will pay particular 

attention to any new information about 

the significance of the area’s natural or 

cultural resources, changes to any 

threats to these resources, and any 

updates to the management framework 

of the area. NOAA has provided the 

original nominating parties, The Pew 

Charitable Trusts and Friends of the 

Marianas Trench, an opportunity to 

share their views on these same 

questions. Following this information 

gathering and internal analysis, NOAA 

will make a final determination on 

whether or not the Mariana Trench 

NMS nomination will remain in the 

inventory for another five-year period. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

received by February 22, 2022. NOAA

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background Information 

In 2014, NOAA issued a final rule reestablishing the sanctuary nomination 

process (SNP), which details how 

communities may submit nominations 

of areas of the marine and Great Lakes 

environment for NOAA to consider for 

designation as national marine 

sanctuaries (79 FR 33851). NOAA 

moves successful nominations to an 

inventory of areas that could be 

considered for national marine 

sanctuary designation. The final rule reestablishing the SNP included a fiveyear limit on any nomination added to 

the inventory that NOAA does not 

advance for designation. 

In November 2019, NOAA issued a 

Federal Register notice (84 FR 61546) to 

clarify procedures for evaluating and 

updating a successful nomination as it 

approaches the five-year mark in the 

inventory of areas that could be 

considered for national marine 

sanctuary designation. This notice 

explained that if a nomination remains 

responsive to the evaluation criteria for 

inclusion in the inventory, it may be 

appropriate to allow the nomination to 

remain in the inventory for another five 

years. The notice also established a 

process for NOAA to consider the 

continuing viability of nominations 

nearing the five-year expiration mark. 

The nomination for Mariana Trench 

NMS was accepted to the national 

inventory on March 13, 2017, and is 

therefore scheduled to expire on March 

13, 2022. The full nomination can be 

found at https://nominate.noaa.gov/ 

nominations/. 

NOAA is not proposing to designate 

the Mariana Trench NMS with this 

action. Instead, NOAA is seeking public 

comment on ONMS’ five-year review of 

the nomination for Mariana Trench 

NMS. Accordingly, written comments 

submitted as part of this request should 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 14 / Friday, January 21, 2022 / Notices 3285 

not focus on whether NOAA should 

initiate the designation process for a 

Mariana Trench NMS. Rather, 

comments should address the relevance 

of the nomination towards NOAA’s 11 

evaluation criteria and any new 

information NOAA should consider 

about the nominated area (these criteria 

are detailed at https://

nominate.noaa.gov/guide.html). 

Comments that do not pertain to the 

evaluation criteria, or present new 

information on the Mariana Trench 

NMS nomination, will not be 

considered in NOAA’s decision on 

whether to retain this nomination in the 

inventory. 

Whether removing or maintaining the 

nomination for Mariana Trench NMS, 

NOAA would follow the same 

procedure for notifying the public 

NOAA followed when the nomination 

was submitted, including a letter to the 

nominator, a notice in the Federal 

Register, and posting information on 

‘‘nominate.noaa.gov’’.
