   On March 31, 2017, the DXCC desk announced the deletion of Midway Island and   
   Kure Island from the DXCC entities list. The stated reason for this action was   
   because of changes in the administration resulting from changes in   
   PapahÄ�naumokuÄ�kea Marine    
   National Monument, formerly known as the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Marine   
   National Monument, of which the Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge and the   
   Battle of Midway National Memorial, the Hawaii State Seabird Sanctuary at Kure   
   Atoll, and the    
   Northwestern Hawaiian Islands State Marine Refuge, of which they are all   
   included.   
      
   After further review it has been found that the deletion of these two entities   
   is not supported by the changes that were made to the relevant a   
   ministrations. Therefore, the deletions from the DXCC list should not have   
   occurred and the two entities,    
   Midway Island KH4 and Kure Island KH7K, will return to the DXCC list as   
   separate entities.
