AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Military Readiness: The USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76) returned to the U.S. fleet after 18 months of maintenance and modernization, with the Navy declaring it mission-ready after sea trials. CNMI Ocean Policy: Gov. David Apatang says he won’t ask Interior to pause the proposed deep-sea mining lease sale off the CNMI before the Oct. 19 deadline, pointing instead to formal comments due in the Federal Register and ongoing lawsuits. Local Utilities: The CNMI Utilities Corporation board authorized management to coordinate with local and federal law enforcement on procedures to investigate and prosecute water theft. Education: Acting PSS Commissioner Jacqueline Che outlined a 5-day Promise plan to restore a five-day school week by Oct. 1 while navigating the PSS’s deepest deficit in 30 years. Public Safety: A 5.1 earthquake was reported near Saipan; no tsunami information was issued. Travel & Tourism: The U.S. published the Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Program eligible-country list, and a new bill would expand the program to the Philippines and more countries.
