    (a) The purpose of this part is to establish the requirement and 
procedural guidelines for permits to conduct research on and/or recover 
Department of the Navy (DON) ship and aircraft wrecks.
    (b) The U.S. Naval Historical Center's (NHC) Office of Underwater 
Archeology is the DON command responsible for managing DON ship and 
aircraft wrecks under the guidelines of the Federal Archeological 
Program. In order for the NHC's management policy to be consistent with 
the Federal Archeology Program, and the goals of the NHPA, DON has 
implemented a permitting process applicable to DON property consistent 
with and applying the Archeological Resources Protection Act of 1979 as 
amended (ARPA), 16 U.S.C. 470aa-mm, permitting criteria. Department of 
the Navy policies regarding its ship and aircraft wrecks are consistent 
with ARPA permitting requirements. Department of the Navy application of 
ARPA permitting criteria promotes consistency among federal agencies and 
meets DON's responsibilities under the NHPA while allowing qualified 
non-federal and private individuals and entities access to DON historic 
ship and aircraft wrecks.
    (c) To assist NHC in managing, protecting, and preserving DON ship 
and aircraft wrecks.
