AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Deep-Sea Mining Push: The U.S. Marine Minerals Administration has advanced a Proposed Leasing Notice for an American Samoa Outer Continental Shelf mineral lease sale, with a potential November 19, 2026 auction—prompting fresh Pacific opposition over risks including possible radioactive release and threats to ocean, culture, and livelihoods. Local Political Response: Governor Pulaali’i Nikolao Pula says the ASG will review the notice during the 60-day comment period and has already submitted concerns and proposed stipulations, while Congresswoman Uifa’atali Amata reiterates her consistent opposition to seabed mining. Regional Citizenship Fight: U.S. Rep. Morgan Griffith introduced the End Birthright Citizenship for Territories Act, aiming to end birthright citizenship in several U.S. territories—sparking backlash from Guam and CNMI leaders. Government Funding: The U.S. House passed a government funding extension through December 4, with Congresswoman Uifa’atali Amata welcoming the move and a related hearing on shutdown reform. Public Health Rules for Travelers: DOH limits travelers bringing food and medication from Samoa to personal use only, with a 10-unit food cap and strict medication labeling/declaring. Community & Culture: Manu’atele marked the 122nd Anniversary of Manu’a Cession Day, and Boys & Girls Clubs of American Samoa wrapped up its “Save the Music” DIY ukulele project. Aviation Update: Samoa Airways returned its second Twin Otter (5W-FAY) to service after a major overhaul and refurbishment.
