Permit Applications and Environmental Documents for Public Review

Monument managers continue to engage and inform the public of activities proposed to occur in Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument.

Application summaries and full applications are provided for public review. Posting of a permit application does not equate to permit approval. Final authorized permit activities may differ from the proposed activities.

The Summary Information page of each application is posted soon after it is received, in accordance with the Monument's Unified Public Notification Policy. Summary pages provide general information and can be thought of as a snap shot of the full application. The full application is posted once the Monument Permit Coordinators deem the application to be "complete" and address permitting criteria.

Monument Regulations require that applications for Special Ocean Use activities proposed OUTSIDE of Midway Atoll Special Management Area must be posted for public notice and comment 30 days prior to the issuance of a Monument permit.
