1 In view of the fact that the claimed boundaries published by the United States and Canada would leave an unclaimed area within the Gulf of Maine, the United States will exercise its fisheries management jurisdiction to the Canadian–claimed line where that line is situated eastward of the United States–claimed line, until such time as a permanent maritime boundary with Canada is established in the Gulf of Maine.

2 Where the continental shelf extends beyond 200 miles the claimed continental shelf boundary of the United States will extend to the seaward limit of the continental shelf in accordance with international law and in a direction determined by application of the principles by which the described boundary segment is determined.
