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
Papahānaumokuākea 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
administrations. 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.
