The aims of the study were to: (1) describe the coral reef communities within the sanctuary, and (2) to examine the changes that have occurred in those communities over the last 20 years, as a result of several major (crown-of-thorns starfish in 1979, major hurricanes 1990 and 1991, unusually high water temps in 1994, fishing). Attributes were taken from existing digital data provided by Birkeland.
Extractions: Reliable economic information on American Samoa is scarce and often dated. In recent years ASG has attempted to put together statistics on the economy and labor force, but what is published is available often two to three years after the close of the calendar year. The information vacuum makes analysis of the American Samoan economy incomplete and, by necessity, more qualitative than quantitative. One important source of information on the American Samoan economy is a periodic report by the US Department of Labor Employment Standards Administration, which studies the economy in relation to wage and work rules applicable in American territories. Occasionally, other US government agencies linked to the Department of the Interior and the General Accounting Office also report on the territory. The most detailed information becomes available only after each population census. American Samoa is a small developing economy, dependent mainly on two primary income sources: the American Samoa Government which receives income and capital subsidies from the United States, and the two fish canneries on Tutuila. These two primary income sources have given rise to a third: a services sector that derives from and complements the first two. In 1993, the latest year for which ASG has compiled detailed labor force and employment data, ASG employed 4,355 people (32.2 percent of total employment), followed by the two canneries with 3,977 people (29.4 percent) and the rest of the services economy with 5,211 workers (38.4 percent) of total employment. It is reasonable to say that neither the numbers nor the composition of employment today would be substantially different from those in 1993.

(a) Definitions. As used in this section, the term: (1) Compacts means the agreements of free association between the United States and the governments of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and Palau, approved by Public Law 99-239 with respect to the governments of the Republic of the Marshall Islands and the Federated States of Micronesia, and by Public Law 99-658, with respect to Palau. (2) Freely associated states (FAS) means the following parts of the former Trust Territories of the Pacific Islands, namely, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and Palau. (3) Territories and possessions of the United States means all territories and possessions of the United States to which the Act applies, including those commonwealths of the United States that are not States. It does not include American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, as long as the Act does not apply to them. (4)(i) Habitual resident means a citizen of the FAS who has been admitted to a territory or possession of the United States (other than American Samoa or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, as long as the Act is not applicable to them) pursuant to section 141(a) of the Compacts and who occupies in such territory or possession a habitual residence as that term is defined in section 461 of the Compacts, namely a place of general abode or a principal, actual dwelling place of a continuing or lasting nature. The term ``habitual resident'' does not apply to: (A) A person who has established a continuing residence in a territory or possession of the United States, but whose cumulative physical presence in the United States amounts to less than 365 days; or (B) A dependent of a resident representative described in section 152 of the Compacts; or (C) A person who entered the United States for the purpose of full- time studies as long as such person maintains that status. (ii) Since the term ``habitual'' resident requires that the person have entered the United States pursuant to section 141(a) of the Compacts, the term does not apply to FAS citizens whose presence in the territories or possessions is based on an authority other than section 141(a), such as: (A) Members of the Armed Forces of the United States described in 8 CFR Sec. 235.1(c); (B) Persons lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States; or (C) Persons having nonimmigrant status whose entry into the United States is based on provisions of the Compacts or the Act other than section 141(a) of the Compacts. (5) Dependent means a citizen of the FAS, as defined in section 141(a) of the Compacts, who: (i) Is a habitual resident; (ii) Resides with a principal habitual resident; (iii) Relies for financial support on that principal habitual resident; and (iv) Is either the parent, spouse, or unmarried child under the age of 21 of the principal habitual resident or the parent or child of the spouse of the principal habitual resident. (6) Principal habitual resident means a habitual resident with whom one or more dependents reside and on whom dependent(s) rely for financial support. (7) Self-supporting means: [[Page 396]] (i) Having a lawful occupation of a current and continuing nature that provides 40 hours of gainful employment each week. A part-time student attending an accredited college or institution of higher learning in a territory or possession of the United States receives for each college or graduate credit-hour of study a three-hour credit toward the 40-hour requirement; or (ii) If the person cannot meet the 40-hour employment requirement, having lawfully derived funds that meet or exceed 100 percent of the official poverty guidelines for Hawaii for a family unit of the appropriate size as published annually by the Department of Health and Human Services. (8) Receipt of unauthorized public benefits means the acceptance of public benefits by fraud or willful misrepresentation in violation of section 401 or 411 of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, Public Law 104-193, 110 Stat. 2261, 2268, as amended by sections 5561 and 5565 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, Public Law 105-33, 111 Stat. 638. 639. (b) Where do these rules regarding habitual residence apply? The rules in this section apply to habitual residents living in a territory or possession of the United States to which the Act applies. Those territories and possessions are at present Guam, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the American Virgin Islands. These rules do not apply to habitual residents living in American Samoa or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, as long as the Act does not extend to them. These rules are not applicable to habitual residents living in the fifty States or the District of Columbia. (c) When is an arriving FAS citizen presumed to be a habitual resident? (1) An arriving FAS citizen will be subject to the rebuttable presumption that he or she is a habitual resident if the Service has reason to believe that the arriving FAS citizen was previously admitted to the territory or possession more than one year ago; and (2) That the arriving FAS citizen either; (i) Failed to turn in his or her Form I-94 when he or she previously departed from the United States; or (ii) Failed to apply for a replacement Form I-94. (d) What rights do habitual residents have? Habitual residents have the right to enter, reside, study, and work in the United States, its territories or possessions, in nonimmigrant status without regard to the requirements of sections 212(a)(5)(A) and 212(a)(7)(A) and (B) of the Act. (e) What are the limitations on the rights of habitual residents? (1) A habitual resident who is not a dependent is subject to removal if he or she: (i) Is not and has not been self-supporting for a period exceeding 60 consecutive days for reasons other than a lawful strike or other labor dispute involving work stoppage; or (ii) Has received unauthorized public benefits by fraud or willful misrepresentation; or (iii) Is subject to removal pursuant to section 237 of the Act, or any other provision of the Act. (2) Any dependent is removable from a territory or possession of the United States if: (i) The principal habitual resident who financially supports him or her and with whom he or she resides, becomes subject to removal unless the dependent establishes that he or she has become a dependent of another habitual resident or becomes self-supporting; or (ii) The dependent, as an individual, receives unauthorized public benefits by fraud or willful misrepresentation; or (iii) The dependent, as an individual, is subject to removal pursuant to section 237 of the Act, or any other provision of the Act.

Related Web sites Background American Samoa Environmental Protection Agency The American Samoa Environmental Quality Commission (ASEQC), was created in 1985 by Executive Order of the Governor. Technical, programmatic and enforcement activities are implemented for the ASEQC by the American Samoa Environmental Protection Agency (ASEPA). ASEPA maintains programs in water quality, drinking water, air quality, pesticides, solid waste, hazardous materials and waste, and public education. The agency and commission are under the Office of the Governor. For the past two years, ASEPA has also been the recipient of an Americorps grant and oversees the training and placement of 20 participants. The ASEPA is directed by Togipa (Tony) Tausaga, who oversees an ASEPA staff of about 20, including a former EPA Region 9 staff (Sheila Wiegman), who is presently on detail to ASEPA from the U.S. Geological Survey. ASEPA is the recipient of an annual EPA Consolidated Environmental Program grant (FY 98 budget is $1.6 million). A local budget of $85,000 is provided to support clean-up activities of Pago Pago Harbor. A continuing problem at ASEPA is the hiring and retainment of qualified staff. ASEPA, with the assistance of PIO, is in the processing of placing two IPA's with ASEPA this summer, to assist them with their water quality and underground storage tanks program.

Working Groups NOAA RELEASES FIRST NATIONAL STUDY OF U.S. CORAL REEFS New Report Ranks Harmful Threats, Highlights Key Actions The first-ever national assessment of the condition of U.S. coral reefs was released today by the U.S. Department of Commerceâs National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The report identifies the pressures that pose increasing risks to reefs, particularly in certain âhot spotsâ located near population centers. The report also assesses the health of reef resources, ranks threats in 13 geographic areas, and details mitigation efforts. Led by NOAAâs National Ocean Service, the 265-page report, The State of Coral Reef Ecosystems of the United States and Pacific Freely Associated States, was developed by 38 coral reef experts and 79 expert contributors. Prepared under the auspices of the U.S. Coral Reef Task Force, the report establishes a baseline that will now be used for biennial reports on the health of U.S. coral reefs. NOAA has also released A National Coral Reef Strategy, a report to Congress outlining specific action to address 13 major goals, including continuing mapping and monitoring, to safeguard reefs. The reports will be highlighted when the U.S. Coral Reef Task Force meets on October 2-3, in San Juan, Puerto Rico. NOAA scientists have already achieved a scientific milestone in mapping coral reefs. Working with public and private partners in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, they successfully mapped coral ecosystems around those islands using a novel 26-category classification system and mapping process.
