 | | The drop tanks are comparatively recent items, and outside the 50-year clause for historical significance as defined by the US Historic Preservation Act, the Republic of the Marshall Islands Historic Preservation Act (1992) or similar acts in the Federated States of Micronesia. |
 | | These tanks, however, are movable artefacts and, as the examples of the ex-Rongelap and ex-Majuro specimens has shown, are being moved not only between islands on a given atoll, but from one atoll to another. |
 | | In the case of these tanks it is not possible to conserve the cultural resource in a meaningful way in place and unchanged, as the conceptual setting of the resource changes. |
