Abstract:
National Marine Sanctuary regulations list specific activities that are prohibited in the sanctuaries. These otherwise prohibited activities are permissible if a permit is issued by the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS). Persons desiring permits must submit applications, and persons obtaining permits must submit reports on the activity conducted under the permit. The information is needed by the ONMS to protect and manage the sanctuaries. This renewal request includes the merger of the Tortugas Access Permits, OMB Control NO. 0648-0418, into this collection.
