Nothing in this proclamation alters existing restrictions applicable within 50 nautical miles of the center geographical positions of certain islands and reefs in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands or within 12 nautical miles of Rose Atoll.  Such restrictions may be modified pursuant to applicable statutory and regulatory processes.

Commercial fishing conducted in areas of national monuments where such fishing was prohibited under previous proclamations shall remain subject to all applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, including under Magnuson-Stevens.  The Secretary of Commerce shall amend or repeal existing regulations that are inconsistent with this proclamation’s removal of monument-based prohibitions on commercial fishing, including those within Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Sanctuary regulations.  I further direct that the Secretary of Commerce shall assess whether discretion to enforce regulations that currently prohibit commercial fishing can be utilized in the interim to advance the policy outlined in this proclamation.

To the extent that any provision of Proclamations 8031, 8335, 8337, 9478, or 10918 is inconsistent with this proclamation, the terms of this proclamation shall govern.

If any provision of this proclamation is held to be invalid, the remainder of this proclamation shall not be affected thereby.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eleventh day of June, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fiftieth.

        DONALD J. TRUMP
