provide a sufficient degree of protection to Tortugas resources. It
would not protect coral reef resources from anchoring and from the
possible effects of non-consumptive uses and would not provide the
FKNMS with adequate notice to facilitate enforcement. Regulatory
Alternative B would provide adequate protection from anchoring damage
in Tortugas South and would provide adequate notification to FKNMS to
facilitate enforcement there, but would not provide adequate protection
to Tortugas North. It would also not protect the resources of Tortugas
South from non-consumptive uses. Regulatory Alternative C would provide
adequate protection from anchoring damage in Tortugas North and South
and would provide adequate notification to FKNMS to facilitate
enforcement with insignificant incremental costs to users. However, it
would not protect the sensitive coral reef resources from the possible
effects of non-consumptive uses. The Preferred Alternative (Boundary
Alternative III/Regulatory Alternative D) could potentially impact, if
one assumes no mitigating factors, 9 recreational charter users with
total annual revenue losses of approximately $152,054, 64 commercial
fishermen with total annual revenue losses of approximately $843,583,
and 673 person days of recreational fishermen using private boats with
a maximum potential loss of $53,392 in consumer's surplus. Though
Regulatory Alternative D would prohibit use of Tortugas South except
for continuous transit, for law enforcement purposes, or for research
or education activities pursuant to a sanctuary permit, this
alternative would provide an important reference area to facilitate the
study of non-consumptive impacts in Tortugas North. Additionally,
unlike in Tortugas North where a moderate amount of non-consumptive
diving activities has been identified, little diving has been
identified in Tortugas South and as such the socio-economic impacts of
the more restrictive Regulatory Alternative D are not expected to be
significant or substantial to this user group in Tortugas South.
Facilitate enforcement and compliance. Boundary Alternative II
would be less likely to facilitate enforcement of and compliance by
users of the ecological reserve due to its irregular boundary shape.
Boundary Alternative III is the most likely to facilitate enforcement
and compliance by users because the boundaries of Tortugas North and
Tortugas South follow lines of latitude/longitude and share several of
the existing boundaries and marked corners of the Dry Tortugas National
Park. Boundary Alternatives IV and V would be less likely than Boundary
Alternative III to facilitate compliance by users because the southern
boundary of Tortugas North does not terminate at a marked corner of the
Dry Tortugas National Park. Regulatory Alternative B would not
adequately facilitate enforcement because it would not provide notice
to FKNMS of the presence of users in the ecological reserve. Regulatory
Alternative C adequately facilitates enforcement and compliance of
Tortugas North but does not provide significant solutions for enforcing
Tortugas South, the more remote portion of the ecological reserve.
Regulatory Alternative D best facilitates enforcement and encourages
compliance by limiting access to Tortugas South to continuous transit
through the area with fishing gear stowed. Regulatory Alternative D
will ease enforcement and provide additional environmental benefits by
helping to control illegal spearfishing and lobster diving, as well as
other illegal fishing and anchoring.
Paperwork Reduction Act
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required
to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty for failure
to comply with, a collection of information subject to the requirements
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) unless that collection of
information displays a currently valid control number issued by the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
This rule contains collection-of-information requirements subject
to review and approval by OMB under the PRA. The only additional record
keeping or reporting requirements are the permit and call-in, call-out
requirements for the Reserve previously described in the Preamble under
Final Regulations. There are two classes of users that will be affected
by these requirements: commercial dive boat operators and private
boaters. The type of skills necessary to request an access permit (if
not requested by telephone) and to provide notification when entering
or leaving the Reserve is the ability to use marine radio equipment.
The public reporting burden for these requirements is estimated to be
10 minutes per application for a permit and 2 minutes per call-in or
call-out. These collection-of-information requirements have been
approved by OMB under OMB control number 0648-0418.
Collection-of-information requirements for certification of
preexisting leases, licenses, permits, approvals, or other
authorizations in National Marine Sanctuaries, have been approved under
OMB control number 0648-0141. The regulations apply the certification
requirement of Sec. 922.168 to holders of preexisting leases, licenses,
permits, approvals, or other authorizations, in the boundary expansion
area. The estimated response time for this requirement is 30 minutes.
These response estimates include the time for reviewing
instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the
collections of information. Send comments regarding these burden
estimates, or any other aspect of these data collections, including
suggestions for reducing the burden, to NOAA and OMB (See ADDRESSES).
E.O. 13132: Federalism
Executive Order 13132 sets forth Fundamental Federalism Principles
(section 2) to guide federal agencies in formulating and implementing
policies that have federalism implications and Policymaking Criteria
(section 3) to adhere to, to the extent permitted by law, when
formulating and implementing policies that have federalism
implications. Since these final regulations do not preempt State law,
the requirements of section 4 and section 6 (c) of the Executive Order
do not apply.
Federalism Summary Impact Statement
In 1998, NOAA convened a 25-member Working Group (WG) of the
Sanctuary Advisory Council (SAC) composed of key stakeholder
representatives, eight SAC members, and government agency
representatives with resource management authority in the Tortugas area
to recommend a preferred boundary alternative for an ecological
reserve. The WG included government agency representatives from the
Florida Marine Patrol, the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection and the Florida Marine Fisheries Commission.
Over a 13 month period, the WG met five times and built up a
knowledge base on the Tortugas region using scientific information
provided by Sanctuary staff and experts, personal knowledge, knowledge
passed on by their constituents, and anecdotal information. All of the
WG meetings were facilitated to ensure timely discussion of relevant
issues and help build consensus.
On June 15, 1999, a presentation on the WG's process and
recommendation for an ecological reserve was given to
[[Page 4368]]
the SAC. The SAC included a member from Monroe County, and several
representatives from the State of Florida attended SAC meetings to
provide information and comment. The SAC voted unanimously to adopt the
recommendation of the WG and forwarded it to NOAA and the State of
Florida. County and State representatives were involved throughout the
site selection process and development of regulatory recommendations,
were present at all meetings and deliberations of the WG and SAC at
which the proposal for an ecological was considered, and regularly
communicated with NOAA.
NOAA adopted the recommendation of the SAC regarding the
geographical area and the application of no-take regulations to the
ecological reserve. NOAA held public hearings in conjunction with the
State of Florida on the DSEIS and the proposed regulations and
consulted with the State on the proposed boundary expansion, as
required by section 303 of the National Marine Sanctuaries Act (NMSA),
16 U.S.C. 1431 et seq. In July 1999 and July 2000, NOAA provided to the
Governor, Cabinet, and staff members a status report on the proposed
ecological reserve.
The County and State also submitted comments to NOAA on the DSEIS/
SMP and the proposed rule.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) was
concerned that no limits were being placed on the level of non-
consumptive diving that would be allowed. The FWC stated that non-
consumptive diving results in some morbidity and mortality to coral
reef habitat and asked that controls be placed on the number of divers
and dive trips to assure minimal acceptable damage to the habitat. The
FWC was also concerned over the adequacy of the enforcement resources.
The FWC believes that the minimal enforcement resources needed to
enforce the Reserve would be two vessels 50 feet or greater in length
with a Lieutenant and two officers for each vessel. The FWC encourages
NOAA to work with it to develop these enforcement resources in order to
assure the success of the reserve.
The Final Regulations allow non-consumptive diving in Tortugas
North but closes Tortugas South to all diving except for scientific
research or educational purposes, pursuant to a valid sanctuary permit.
This provides an appropriate degree of public access.
Prohibiting non-consumptive diving in Tortugas North is not needed
to protect the resources or their ecosystem. One of the basic tenets of
the FKNMSPA, the NMSA and indeed the Designation Document for the
FKNMS, is to allow activities in the Sanctuary that do not cause an
adverse effect on the resources or qualities of the Sanctuary, or that
do not pose a threat of harm to users of the Sanctuary. However, the
resources of Tortugas South, particularly the spawning aggregation
areas, are unique and warrant the additional protection of prohibiting
diving. Enforcement surveillance in this remote part of the Reserve
will be facilitated by prohibiting all activities in Tortugas South
except for continuous transit, law enforcement, and, pursuant to a
sanctuary permit, scientific research and educational activities.
Additionally, prohibiting diving in Tortugas South will provide a
baseline to gauge the effects of non-consumptive activities on the
resources in Tortugas North.
Tortugas North is less remote and protection and conservation can
be more easily afforded to it than to Tortugas South. Allowing non-
consumptive diving in Tortugas North that is carefully monitored will
provide significant educational and resource appreciation benefits.
Further, prohibiting non-consumptive diving in Tortugas North would
unnecessarily increase adverse socio-economic impacts on charter dive
operators without providing corresponding resource protection. The
permit system for Tortugas North will allow the level of diving
activity to be monitored, and combined with the reference of Tortugas
South, will allow the effects of non-consumptive diving on resources in
Tortugas North to be determined.
The SMP commits substantial enforcement resources for the Reserve.
As set forth in the Enforcement Action Plan as supplemented by the SMP,
one of the goals of Sanctuary management is to gain the highest level
of compliance by the public who enter and visit the Reserve. This
compliance can be achieved through several management actions including
education and outreach and on-the-water presence of Sanctuary staff in
programs such as Team OCEAN, where Sanctuary information is distributed
along the waterfront or boat to boat by Sanctuary staff and volunteers.
The most effective management action that can be used to achieve
compliance to Sanctuary regulations is an effective law enforcement
program. Currently, the primary enforcement of Sanctuary regulations is
accomplished through an enforcement agreement between NOAA/National
Marine Sanctuary Program and the State of Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission. The enforcement efforts are consistent with
the goals and objectives for enforcement described in the MP. The MP
also calls for cross-deputization of other agency law enforcement
personnel (e.g., National Park Service Rangers) to accomplish law
enforcement responsibilities within the Sanctuary. This approach to
enforcement continues to remain an option.
Prohibiting vessels from stopping within Tortugas South except
pursuant to a valid sanctuary permit for scientific research or
educational purposes will facilitate enforcement. This will make it
possible to monitor vessel traffic remotely by radar and response will
only be necessary when vessels without a permit stop within the
reserve.
The permit system for Tortugas North will help Sanctuary managers
monitor the level of visitor use in the reserve and facilitate
enforcement efforts.
The success of the Reserve will depend to a large extent on the
level of enforcement resources dedicated to the Reserve. Several
enforcement options are presently available and are being evaluated for
deployment in the Reserve. These options include:
Installation and monitoring of a long-range radar unit at
the Dry Tortugas National Park. This would allow remote monitoring of
vessels entering and leaving the Reserve.
Place two 82' vessels into service for patrolling the
Ecological Reserve.
Cross-deputize and fund National Park Service Rangers to
assist in enforcement in the Tortugas Ecological Reserve.
As set forth in the SMP, the law enforcement budget is as follows:
Personnel
Law Enforcement Officers (4-6) $50,000 per position
General Support $50,000
Vessels
82' Patrol Vessels (2) No Cost--Agency Property Transfer
NOAA will work with the FWC and other enforcement agencies to
develop the enforcement resources that are necessary to assure the
success of the Reserve.
Monroe County commented that the socio-economic section of the
DSEIS seems to have been inserted out of context. This rather lengthy
section should be reduced to some simpler explanations, tables and
conclusions, then attach the larger document as an appendix. NOAA has
retained the socio-economic section in the main body of the FSEIS/SMP
but has revised it to make it clearer.
Monroe County commented that the FSEIS should provide some
additional
[[Page 4369]]
explanation concerning the table of benthic habitats in the DSEIS. It
was not clear to the County whether the 59% of unmapped acreage is a
less significant area within the overall total and, if so, that it
should be noted. If it is not, the County believed that this area needs
significant additional exploration.
The benthic habitats categorized in Table 1 of the FSEIS represent
those identified as the result of one mapping project based on aerial
photographs and limited groundtruthing in the Tortugas region.
Extensive characterization of the benthic communities within Dry
Tortugas National Park has been completed (Agassiz 1883, Davis 1982,
and Jaap 1998). Also, scientific exploration of benthic habitats within
the Tortugas Ecological Reserve area has occurred since the completion
of the DSEIS (Miller, unpubl. data). However, NOAA agrees that
additional mapping and exploration are needed to accurately assess the
full extent of marine resources throughout the Tortugas region.
Monroe County commented that the FSEIS should include a table
summarizing the regulatory alternatives. A table summarizing the
regulatory alternatives has been added to the FSEIS.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
This rule contains no Federal mandates (under the regulatory
provisions of Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
(UMRA)) for State, local, and tribal governments or the private sector.
Thus, this rule is not subject to the requirements of sections 202 and
205 of the UMRA.

Environmental protection, Marine resources, Penalties, Recreation and
recreation areas, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, Research.
Dated: January 8, 2001.
Margaret A. Davidson,
Acting Assistant Administrator for Ocean Services and Coastal Zone
Management.
Accordingly, for the reasons set forth in the preamble, 15 CFR part
922 is amended as follows:
PART 922--NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARY PROGRAM REGULATIONS
1. The authority citation for part 922 continues to read as
follows:
Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1431 et seq.
2. Section 922.161 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 922.161 Boundary.
The Sanctuary consists of an area of approximately 2900 square
nautical miles (9,800 square kilometers) of coastal and ocean waters,
and the submerged lands thereunder, surrounding the Florida Keys in
Florida. Appendix I to this subpart sets forth the precise Sanctuary
boundary.
3. In Sec. 922.162, definitions for ``Length overall (LOA) or
length,'' ``Stem,'' and ``Stern'' are added alphabetically as follows:
Sec. 922.162 Definitions.
* * * * *
Length overall (LOA) or length means, as used in Sec. 922.167 with
respect to a vessel, the horizontal distance, rounded to the nearest
foot (with 0.5 ft and above rounded upward), between the foremost part
of the stem and the aftermost part of the stern, excluding bowsprits,
rudders, outboard motor brackets, and similar fittings or attachments.
* * * * *
Stem means the foremost part of a vessel, consisting of a section
of timber or fiberglass, or cast, forged, or rolled metal, to which the
sides of the vessel are united at the fore end, with the lower end
united to the keel, and with the bowsprit, if one is present, resting
on the upper end.
Stern means the aftermost part of the vessel.
* * * * *
4. In Sec. 922.164, paragraphs (d)(1)(v), (d)(1)(vi), and (g) are
revised, and paragraphs (d)(1)(viii) and (ix) are added to read as
follows:
Sec. 922.164 Additional activity regulations by Sanctuary area.
* * * * *
(d) * * *
(1) * * *
(v) Anchoring in the Tortugas Ecological Reserve. In all other
Ecological Reserves and Sanctuary Preservation Areas, placing any
anchor in a way that allows the anchor or any portion of the anchor
apparatus (including the anchor, chain or rope) to touch living or dead
coral, or any attached living organism. When anchoring dive boats, the
first diver down must inspect the anchor to ensure that it is not
touching living or dead coral, and will not shift in such a way as to
touch such coral or other attached organism. No further diving shall
take place until the anchor is placed in accordance with these
requirements.
(vi) Except in the Tortugas Ecological Reserve where mooring buoys
must be used, anchoring instead of mooring when a mooring buoy is
available or anchoring in other than a designated anchoring area when
such areas have been designated and are available.
* * * * *
(viii) Except for passage without interruption through the area,
for law enforcement purposes, or for purposes of monitoring pursuant to
paragraph (d)(2) of this section: entering the Tortugas South area of
the Tortugas Ecological Reserve; or entering the Tortugas North area of
the Tortugas Ecological Reserve without a valid access permit issued
pursuant to Sec. 922.167 or entering or leaving the Tortugas North area
with a valid access permit issued pursuant to Sec. 922.167 without
notifying FKNMS staff at the Dry Tortugas National Park office by
telephone or radio no less than 30 minutes and no more than 6 hours,
before entering and upon leaving the Tortugas Ecological Reserve.
(ix) Tying a vessel greater than 100 feet (30.48 meters) LOA, or
tying more than one vessel (other than vessels carried on board a
vessel) if the combined lengths would exceed 100 feet (30.48 meters)
LOA, to a mooring buoy or to a vessel tied to a mooring buoy in the
Tortugas Ecological Reserve.
* * * * *
(g) Anchoring on Tortugas Bank. Vessels 50 meters or greater in
registered length, are prohibited from anchoring on the portion of
Tortugas Bank within the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary west of
the Dry Tortugas National Park that is outside of the Tortugas
Ecological Reserve. The boundary of the area closed to anchoring by
vessels 50 meters or greater in registered length is formed by
connecting in succession the points at the following coordinates (based
on the North American Datum of 1983):
(1) 24 deg. 32.00' N 83 deg. 00.05' W
(2) 24 deg. 37.00' N 83 deg. 06.00' W
(3) 24 deg. 39.00' N 83 deg. 06.00' W
(4) 24 deg. 39.00' N 83 deg. 00.05' W

action on his or her certification request, provided the holder is in
compliance with this Sec. 922.168.
(c) Any holder of an authorization or right described in paragraph
(a) of this section may request the Director to issue a finding as to
whether the activity for which the authorization has been issued, or
the right given, is prohibited by Secs. 922.163 or 922.164, thus
requiring certification under this section.
(d) Requests for findings or certifications should be addressed to
the Director, Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management; ATTN:
Sanctuary Superintendent, Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, P.O.
Box 500368, Marathon, FL 33050. A copy of the lease, permit, license,
approval, or other authorization must accompany the request.
(e) The Director may request additional information from the
certification requester as he or she deems reasonably necessary to
condition appropriately the exercise of the certified authorization or
right to achieve the purposes for which the Sanctuary was designated.
The information requested must be received by the Director within 45
days of the postmark date of the request. The Director may seek the
views of any persons on the certification request.

(j) Any amendment, renewal, or extension made after July 1, 1997,
to a lease, permit, license, approval, other authorization or right is
subject to the provisions of Sec. 922.49.
7. Add a new Sec. 922.167 to read as follows:
Sec. 922.167 Permits for access to the Tortugas Ecological Reserve.
(a) A person may enter the Tortugas North area of the Tortugas
Ecological Reserve other than for passage without interruption through
the reserve, for law enforcement purposes, or for purposes of
monitoring pursuant to paragraph (d)(2) of Sec. 922.164 , if authorized
by a valid access permit issued pursuant to Sec. 922.167.
(b)(1) Access permits must be requested at least 72 hours but no
longer than one month before the date the permit is desired to be
effective. Access permits do not require written applications or the
payment of any fee. Permits may be requested via telephone or radio by
contacting FKNMS at any of the following numbers:
