## Summary

**This bill would rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America in all federal laws, maps, and documents.** It directs the Secretary of the Interior, acting through the Board on Geographic Names, to oversee the change.

The renaming covers references in federal statutes, regulations, records, papers, and maps and is implemented through the Department of the Interior’s geographic-names process.
