In response to the letter from the Secretariat dated 9 August 1990 transmitting the recommendations of the Bureau on the conservation of this site, the US authorities have provided a map indicating the additions to this site, its new boundaries and the new designated wilderness areas. They have also requested that the Committee formally consider including the new additions to the site as part of the property already inscribed on the World Heritage List (see document CC­90/CONF.004/10).

In regard to the recommendations of the Bureau regarding the precautions that need to be taken by the State Party to prevent future oil spills, similar to the "Nestuca Oil Spill", the US authorities have indicated that they have requested park officials to provide additional information on contingency plans that may be under consideration for future emergencies  of this kind.
