AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Tourism & Travel Policy: CNMI industry groups (HANMI, Saipan Chamber, and leaders including Delegate Kimberlyn King-Hinds) welcomed a Senate move blocking fast-track repeal of EVS-TAP, arguing the program’s DHS screening is key to keeping tourism steady for the Western Pacific economy. Air Connectivity: Jeju Air says it will keep flying to Saipan in the winter starting October without MVA’s $1.5M sole-source support, signaling confidence in the market as schedules are already published. Disaster Nutrition & Workforce Strain: NAP extended Disaster Nutrition Assistance Program intake through July 22, but capped processing at 600 applicants per day after long waits and document hurdles sparked frustration. Recovery Logistics: A Guam-Port Authority-led partnership coordinated critical fuel deliveries to Rota after port damage, with the first shipment arriving July 17; Rotary of Saipan also plans up to $11K in hygiene and cleaning supplies for Rota. Local Business Operations: Saipan Chamber warns CW-1 processing delays (about four to nine months) and expected “touchback” requirements are creating uncertainty for employers planning staffing. Infrastructure & Coastal Work: DPW says beach nourishment may restart using sand dredged from Smiling Cove Marina after engineers found the sand spit shifted by Super Typhoon Bavi had returned. Deep-Sea Mining Watch: A new report flags a major “radioactivity” blind spot in seabed mining, while the U.S. pushes ahead with a deep-sea lease sale process tied to American Samoa—raising fresh concerns for Pacific communities.
