Regulated Navigation Area; Reporting Requirements for Barges Loaded With Certain Dangerous Cargoes, Illinois Waterway System Within the Ninth Coast Guard District

The Coast Guard is establishing a regulated navigation area (RNA) for all portions of the Illinois Waterway System located in the Ninth Coast Guard District. This rule requires that barges loaded with certain dangerous cargoes (CDCs) report their position and other information to the Inland River Vessel Movement Center (IRVMC) and is intended to safeguard vessels, ports and waterfront facilities from sabotage or terrorist acts. This action is necessary to ensure public safety, prevent sabotage or terrorist acts, and facilitate the efforts of emergency services and law enforcement officers responding to terrorist attacks.
