Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary Regulations

AGENCY: Sanctuaries and Reserves Division (SRD), Office of Ocean and 
Coastal Resource Management (OCRM), National Ocean Service (NOS), 
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Department of 
Commerce (DOC).

ACTION: Correcting amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to Appendix A to the final 
regulations for the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary which were 
published on Wednesday, May 11, 1994 (59 FR 24586).

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 17, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Todd Jacobs, Sanctuary Manager, at (206) 457-6622 or Elizabeth Moore at 
(301) 713-3141.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
Administration (NOAA), by the designation document published in the 59 
FR 24586, May 11, 1994, designated approximately 2,500 square nautical 
miles of coastal and ocean waters, and the submerged lands thereunder, 
off the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State, including the waters of 
the Strait of Juan de Fuca eastward to Koitlah Point, as the Olympic 
Coast National Marine Sanctuary (Sanctuary). This notice corrects a 
discrepancy between the Sanctuary boundary as described in 15 CFR 
925.2(b) and the coordinates for that boundary listed in Appendix A. 
Section 925.2(b) describes the Sanctuary boundary as extending from 
Koitlah Point due north to the U.S./Canada international boundary 
seaward to the 100 fathom isobath. The seaward boundary of the 
Sanctuary approximates the 100 fathom isobath in a southerly direction 
from the U.S./Canada international boundary to a point due west of the 
mouth of the Copalis River cutting across the heads of Nitnat, Juan de 
Fuca and Quinault Canyons. Appendix A has been corrected to more 
accurately represent the U.S./international boundary, which delineates 
the northern boundary of the Sanctuary. The remaining coordinates have 
not been changed.
