Restoring American Commercial Fishing in the Pacific
This proclamation reverses prior national monument fishing bans in the Pacific by reopening hundreds of thousands of square miles of waters in Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, Mariana Trench Marine National Monument, and Rose Atoll Marine National Monument to commercial fishing. It directs the Secretary of Commerce to amend or repeal inconsistent regulations, allows only US-flagged vessels to fish commercially (with limited permits for foreign transport vessels), and reaffirms that all fishing remains subject to existing federal conservation laws such as the Magnuson-Stevens Act, Endangered Species Act, and Marine Mammal Protection Act.
Strengthening Customs Enforcement
This executive order directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to revise customs enforcement regulations within 180 days, requiring importers of record (IORs) to maintain minimum tangible domestic assets or bonding, disclose ownership and business affiliations, and maintain good standing with CBP. It prohibits foreign IORs from filing informal entries for low-value articles and imposes additional bonding and CTPAT validation requirements for foreign IORs on formal entries, aiming to enhance compliance and revenue collection.
