This legislation aims to honor the victims of a tragic plane crash that occurred in Carteret County, North Carolina, on February 13, 2022. It achieves this by formally designating six distinct creeks within the state with new names. Specifically, the bill renames each of these six creeks after individuals who lost their lives in the accident, providing precise geographical coordinates for each location. These newly designated names, such as Noah Styron Creek and Stephanie Fulcher Creek , will be officially recognized and used in all future federal laws, regulations, and documents.
