{"abstract":"These proposed guidelines have been developed for future research on, exploration of, and if appropriate, salvage of RMS Titanic. As mandated by the RMS Titanic Maritime Memorial Act of 1986 (Act), the proposed guidelines were developed in consultation with the United Kingdom, France, Canada and others. The broad and diverse public interest in RMS Titanic was also considered in developing the proposed guidelines. While the proposed guidelines set forth a preferred policy of in situ preservation of RMS Titanic, they also set forth the parameters for the research, recovery and conservation of RMS Titanic artifacts for the benefit of the public. Comments are requested on these proposed guidelines. NOAA also specifically requests comments from interested members of academia and research institutions.","action":"Proposed guidelines; notice of hearing; request for comments.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE","name":"Commerce Department","id":54,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/commerce-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/54","parent_id":null,"slug":"commerce-department"},{"raw_name":"National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration","name":"National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration","id":361,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/national-oceanic-and-atmospheric-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/361","parent_id":54,"slug":"national-oceanic-and-atmospheric-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2000/06/02/00-13791.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"65 FR 35326","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2000-07-03","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Comments on this proposal must be received at the appropriate address (See ADDRESSES) by 5:00 P.M. on July 3, 2000; public hearing, June 15, 2000, 9:30 A.M.; requests to present oral testimony must be received on or before June 13, 2000.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. 000526158-0158-01"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"00-13791","effective_on":null,"end_page":35331,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2000/06/02/00-13791.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/06/02/00-13791/guidelines-for-research-exploration-and-salvage-of-rms-titanic","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/00-13791?publication_date=2000-06-02","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2000-06-02/00-13791/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":6,"page_views":{"count":93,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 08:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-06-02/pdf/00-13791.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2000-06-02","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2000/06/02/00-13791.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"0648-XA52":null},"regulation_id_numbers":["0648-XA52"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":35326,"subtype":null,"title":"Guidelines for Research, Exploration and Salvage of RMS Titanic","toc_doc":"RMS Titanic; research, exploration, and salvage guidelines; comment request","toc_subject":"Reports and guidance documents; availability, etc.:","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":65}
