Deep-Sea Mining Watch: American Samoa Governor Pulaali‘i Nikolao Pula told BOEM commercial extraction should not move forward now, urging early steps focus on science and environmental study as PACM-1 review continues. Fisheries & Rose Atoll: The Western Pacific Fishery Council backed changes that would let larger American Samoa longliners fish 12–50 nautical miles from Muliava/Rose Atoll once monument-based bans are lifted, while keeping waters within 12 miles closed. Health Funding: The Department of Health received a CDC grant of $324,271 to strengthen health data collection and equity through BRFSS surveys. Vision Screening: An OHSU pediatric eye team is in American Samoa for a week to screen about 230 students, starting at Matafao Elementary, with follow-ups in Manu‘a. Broadband Push: Federal Commerce grants total $30 million for the Le Vasa Google Cable project, aimed at building a digital economy. Public Safety: A coordinated Fagatogo drug bust led to four arrests. Local Governance: Lawmakers questioned the Zoning Board’s enforcement after concerns about multiple ventures operating in one location. Education: ASCC leadership transition is underway with an ad hoc committee reviewing operations and needs. Consumer Rules: The Senate passed a Product Labeling Standards Act requiring clear labels, English plus Samoan when feasible, and penalties for deceptive packaging.
