AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Air & Cargo: Philippine Airlines is suspending its Manila–Saipan route until Oct. 22, 2026, and Cebu–Osaka flights from July 1 to Oct. 24 (with exceptions), and says cargo shipments on the affected routes will also be disrupted. Workforce Policy: CNMI Delegate Kimberlyn King-Hinds is pushing H.R. 8931 to reform CW-1 “touchback” rules, aiming to keep workers from leaving while Congress considers broader immigration changes. Ocean & Deep-Sea Minerals: Guam’s governor signed a ban on deep-sea mining in Guam and nearshore waters, with fines up to $50,000 per day and port use restrictions without full community consultation; meanwhile NOAA cleared a key step for Deep Sea Minerals’ seabed exploration application. Disaster Recovery & Utilities: USACE is running residential debris removal on Tinian with strict sorting rules and a June 12 request deadline via SWEEP; separate reports say large military generators are now connected to Tinian’s grid after Sinlaku damage. Tourism & Shipping Strain: CNMI visitor arrivals fell 72% in April after Sinlaku, and local businesses report higher costs for faster, more reliable shipping as supply chains keep adjusting. Energy Security: A CNMI senator is calling for a study of small modular reactors and microreactors to reduce reliance on imported fuel. Regional Business & Infrastructure: A $249M U.S. military MilCon architect-engineer contract was awarded with work including Guam and Tinian, alongside a CNMI stakeholders meeting on coordinating military activity.
