AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Disaster Recovery for CNMI Businesses: The U.S. Small Business Administration opened an additional Business Recovery Center in Saipan, with SBA reps starting June 2 to help small businesses, private nonprofits, and residents apply for disaster loans tied to Super Typhoon Sinlaku (walk-ins welcome; appointments at appointment.sba.gov). Power Restoration Watch: CUC says Saipan is just above 50% energized for primary lines, but progress is plateauing because copper theft has left missing triplex and lateral conductors across multiple villages, forcing crews to isolate poles and skip spans. Solar Push for Energy Stability: CUC is moving toward a major solar contract for Saipan, Tinian, and Rota (53 MW Saipan, 11 MW Tinian, 3 MW Rota) plus up to four hours of battery storage, pending PUC approval. Deep-Sea Mining Pressure Builds: The U.S. is preparing lease sales for seabed mining blocks in federal waters that include the CNMI, while Guam lawmakers voted to ban deep-sea mining in island waters—adding to regional pushback. Immigration Policy Shift: A new USCIS memo signals tighter scrutiny for in-country green card adjustments, which advocates warn could increase delays and family separation for CNMI and Guam’s foreign worker communities. Recovery Deadline Reminder: CNMI’s S.T.R.O.N.G. Tent and Roofing program deadline is June 1 at 5 p.m., with temporary roof/tent help for eligible Sinlaku-impacted homeowners.
