SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NOAA published a final rule January 6, 2023
(88 FR 953), which updated and streamlined ONMS regulations. NOAA is
preparing technical corrections to the final rule. NOAA is delaying the
effective date of February 6, 2023, for the final rule by 60 days, to
April 7, 2023. The delay in the effective date is necessary to provide
time for ONMS to publish the technical corrections in advance of the
final rule taking effect.
National Marine Sanctuaries Act
The National Marine Sanctuaries Act (NMSA) authorizes the Secretary
of Commerce (Secretary) to designate, manage, and protect, as a
national marine sanctuary (NMS), any area of the marine environment
that is of special national significance due to its conservation,
recreational, ecological, historical, scientific, cultural,
archeological, educational, or esthetic qualities (16 U.S.C. 1431 et
seq.). NMSA provides the legal basis and serves as the authority under
which NOAA issues this action.
