Anchorage Ground; Safety Zone; Speed Limit; Tongass Narrows and Ketchikan, AK

Краткое содержание

The Coast Guard is re-opening the comment period for its interim rule published in April 2000, prior to publishing the final rule. The interim rule created a seven-knot speed limit zone that is currently in effect. This rule also re-designated the safety zone in Ketchikan Harbor as an anchorage to reflect its actual use as an anchorage for large passenger vessels. Due to the length in time since the comment period for the interim rule closed, the Coast Guard is providing an additional opportunity for public comment.
