Shoreline Use Permits, Flotation

The Corps published a proposed rule in the April 15, 1997, issue of the Federal Register, concerning flotation materials to be used on all new docks and boat mooring buoys. Comments received during the 45 day comment period prompted the Corps to conduct further study and give additional consideration to flotation requirements. As a result, the Corps is withdrawing this amendment and proposing a new amendment. An amendment to the Guidelines for Granting Shoreline Use Permits was also part of the proposed rule published on April 15, 1997. This language reduced onerous requirements on individuals who have requested waivers due to obvious limiting health conditions by giving Operations Project Managers flexibility to take special circumstances of the applicant into consideration when issuing a shoreline management permit. No negative comments were received during the comment period and this amendment will be issued as a final rule at a later date, probably in conjunction with the flotation amendment, once the flotation issue is resolved.
