AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Deep-Sea Mining Rush: A year after President Trump’s executive order, at least nine companies are in talks with the U.S. to access seabed minerals, with parts of the seafloor from American Samoa to Alaska potentially up for auction this summer and into fall—while critics warn key questions on processing, track records, and real-world payoff still aren’t answered. Disaster Preparedness Funding: Congresswoman Uifa’atali Amata says American Samoa will receive $220,542 from FEMA’s BRIC program to support preparedness planning and management. Energy Pressure on Households: ASPA’s fuel surcharge increase is set to push electricity rates higher in May, squeezing family and business budgets. Local Governance & Infrastructure: The Governor issued changes to the American Samoa Shipyard Services Authority board, and ASTCA wrapped tower climber/rescuer and rigging training for 24 trainees. Public Safety & Health: The Pacific Security College is calling for a regional summit approach to the meth crisis, saying law enforcement alone won’t stop the spread.
