Q. What requirements are needed to be able to 4 get a full salvage permit? 5 MR. FUGETT: Objection to form. 6 Go ahead if you know. 7 THE WITNESS: Are you referring to a 8 recovery permit? 9 MR. KIDD: Yes. 10 THE WITNESS: Okay. The permittee would 11 have had to have received an exploration permit, 12 surveyed an area, identified potential elements of a 13 shipwreck, and then report on it. At that point 14 they would apply for a recovery permit, and we would 15 evaluate the information and make a determination.
That's a stretch. I have gone back and read a lot of the material on this "three" item stuff. I believe some posters are reading something that is not there. There was always a recognition that there would be a salvage permit. The three items would trigger the salvage permit.
