      Announcement of Public Comment Period for Economic Impacts of the Gray’s Reef Research Area

      NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries is conducting a review of the regulation that established the research area within Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary in 2011. The research area was designed for conducting controlled scientific studies in the absence of certain human activities. Fishing, diving, and stopping a vessel are prohibited in the research area. 

      Public Comment Link

      NOAA is accepting public comments on the economic impacts of the research area and will conduct an analysis in accordance with the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The Regulatory Flexibility Act requires periodic review of existing regulations that have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities, such as small businesses, small organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions.

      The last day for public comments is July 29th, 2021.

      For more information about the comment period of the Gray’s Reef Research Area, you may view the notice in the Federal Register. NOAA will post the resulting economic impact analysis on its libraries page after the public comment period closes and NOAA completes the report.
