Sir:

Your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 49, H.D. 1, entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF A LEASE COVERING STATE SUBMERGED LANDS AT PIER 27 IN HONOLULU HARBOR, OAHU, TO ATLANTIS SUBMARINES HAWAII, LLC,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to authorize the Department of Transportation, with the prior approval of the Board of Land and Natural Resources, to issue a lease covering a portion of state submerged lands at Pier 27 in Honolulu Harbor, Oahu, to Atlantis Submarines Hawaii, LLC.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from Atlantis Submarines Hawaii, LLC.

Your Committee finds that Atlantis Submarines Hawaii, LLC, operates a repair and maintenance facility, which has been relocated by the State from Pier 41 to Pier 27. Due to the relocation, Atlantis Submarines Hawaii, LLC, will have access to fast lanes at Pier 27 and the state submerged lands fronting the property bound by Pier 27, spanning a total of 26,876 square feet. This measure authorizes the granting of a lease, as required by state law, for the leasing of state submerged lands fronting the property bound by Pier 27.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 49, H.D. 1, and recommends its adoption.
