Confirmation of Effective Date
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: Confirmation of effective date.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On March 30, 1998, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) published a final rule (63 FR 15083) amending the
regulations and Designation Document for the Monterey Bay National
Marine Sanctuary (MBNMS or Sanctuary) to allow limited, small-scale
collection of jade from the Jade Cove area of the Sanctuary. Under the
National Marine Sanctuaries Act, the amendment would automatically take
effect at the end of 45 days, continuous session of Congress beginning
on March 30 1998, unless the Governor of California certified to the
Secretary of Commerce the amendment as unacceptable in State waters of
the MBNMS. The 45-day review period ended on June 13, 1998. During the
review period, NOAA received a letter dated May 29, 1998, from Governor
Pete Wilson stating that the State of California has no objection to
the amendment. This document confirms the effective date of the
amendment of the MBNMS Designation Document and regulations as June 16,
1998.
EFFECTIVE DATE: The amendment to the MBNMS Designation Document and
regulations at 15 CFR part 922, subpart M, published on March 30, 1998
(63 FR 15083) shall take effect on June 16, 1998.
