Gulf of America Name Change
AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and National Ocean
Service (NOS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: NMFS and NOS are amending their regulations to change the name
of the ``Gulf of Mexico'' to the ``Gulf of America,'' consistent with a
Presidential directive issued through Executive Order. The intended
effect of this rule is to ensure consistency with the Executive Order
and to provide clarity for the regulated and general public moving
forward regarding the Gulf of America name change.
DATES: This final rule is effective August 7, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: President Donald J. Trump issued Executive
Order (E.O.) 14172, titled ``Restoring Names That Honor American
Greatness'' (90 FR 8629) on January 20, 2025. E.O. 14172 directed that
the area formerly known as the Gulf of Mexico be renamed as the Gulf of
America.
The purpose of this rule is to update the NMFS and NOS regulations
in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to reflect the renaming.
Specifically, this rule changes all ``Gulf of Mexico'' references to
``Gulf of America'' and makes other consistency edits in existing
regulations promulgated under the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA)
(15 CFR parts 921, 923), National Marine Sanctuaries Act (15 CFR part
922), Marine Mammal Protection Act (50 CFR parts 217, 218, 229),
Endangered Species Act (50 CFR parts 222-224, 226), Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) (50 CFR parts 300, 600,
622, 635), and Atlantic Coastal Fisheries Cooperative Management Act
(50 CFR part 697). The text of some statutes, such as the MSA and CZMA,
contains explicit references to the ``Gulf of Mexico.'' In those cases,
``Gulf of America'' references in agency regulations mean the same
geographic area as the ``Gulf of Mexico,'' as that term is used in the
relevant statute. Note that the agency can make nomenclature changes in
its regulations consistent with law, but cannot modify the text of
statutes enacted by Congress.
This rule replaces the term ``Gulf of Mexico'' with ``Gulf of
America'' where it appears in the above-referenced regulations. This
change is consistent with E.O. 14172, and the name used by the
Geographic Names Information System, which maintains standardized
geographic names for Federal use. Under this rule, the name change in
NMFS and NOS regulations does not result in any changes to, and has no
effect on, the applicability or enforceability of the regulations. This
rule will have no cost or substantive impact on the public, but will
make consistent regulatory references to reflect the renamed Gulf of
America.
In addition, for streamlining purposes, this rule removes 15 CFR
part 922, subpart L, Appendix B, ``Flower Garden Banks National Marine
Sanctuary-Terms of Designation.'' The terms of designation for a
national marine sanctuary are not required to be in the CFR, and
removal of the appendix does not change the terms of designation for
Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary.
Classification
NOAA is issuing this rule pursuant to 16 U.S.C. 1855(d) of the
Magnuson-Stevens Act (MSA), 16 U.S.C. 1382(a) of the Marine Mammal
Protection Act (MMPA), 16 U.S.C. 1540(f) of the Endangered Species Act
(ESA), 16 U.S.C. 5103(b) of the Atlantic Coastal Fisheries Cooperative
Management Act (ACA), 16 U.S.C. 1439 of the National Marine Sanctuaries
Act (NMSA), and 16 U.S.C. 1463 of the Coastal Zone Management Act
(CZMA). The reason for using these general rulemaking authorities is
that the rule makes nomenclature changes and related edits and does not
substantively change regulations previously issued under the MSA, MMPA,
ESA, ACA, NMSA, and CZMA. The Chief of Staff, exercising the Delegated
Authority of the Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere
and NOAA Administrator, has determined that this final rule is
consistent with the MSA, MMPA, ESA, ACA, NMSA, and CZMA, regulations
issued pursuant to those statutes, and other applicable law.
This final rule has been determined to be not significant for
purposes of Executive Order 12866.
This final rule is not an Executive Order 14192 regulatory action
because this action is not significant under Executive Order 12866.
This final rule contains no new information collection requirements
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), there is good cause to waive prior
notice and an opportunity for public comment on this action, as notice
and comment are unnecessary.
Consistent with E.O. 14172, this final rule updates the name of
Gulf of America in NMFS and NOS regulations and makes other related
edits. This rule does not substantively change existing regulations and
has no effect on the applicability or enforceability of the
regulations. In addition, for streamlining purposes, this rule removes
an appendix containing terms of designation for a national marine
sanctuary. The terms of designation are not changed and are not
required to be in the CFR. For the same reasons described above, there
is good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to waive the 30-day delay in
effective date. It is unnecessary to provide time for the regulated
community to adjust to this rule, as the rule makes no substantive
changes to regulations with which they must already comply.
Because prior notice and opportunity for public comment are not
required for this rule by 5 U.S.C. 553, or any other law, the
analytical requirements of the
[[Page 38002]]
Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., are inapplicable.
NOAA has determined that this action would not have a substantial
direct effect on one or more Indian Tribes, on the relationship between
the Federal Government and Indian Tribes, or on the distribution of
power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian
Tribes; therefore, consultation with Tribal officials under E.O. 13175
is not required, and the requirements of sections (5)(b) and (5)(c) of
E.O. 13175 also do not apply. A tribal summary impact statement under
section (5)(b)(2)(B) and section (5)(c)(2)(B) of E.O. 13175 is not
required and has not been prepared.

Dry Tortugas Islands), thence eastward along that parallel, through
Rebecca Shoal and the Quicksand Shoal, to the Marquesas Keys, and then
