NOAA hereby provides public notice that it is extending the temporary suspension of the special use permit (SUP) category for the continued presence of commercial submarine cables on or within national marine sanctuaries so that, for an additional two-year period until August 16, 2028, the SUP category does not apply to commercial submarine cables in sanctuaries designated after August 16, 2024. NOAA is continuing to evaluate options for permitting submarine cables in sanctuaries, including through a separate rulemaking action.
