Designate Prince William Sound as a Radio Protection Area for Mandatory Vessel Traffic Services (VTS)

摘要

The Commission has proposed rules to add Prince William Sound to the United States Coast Guard (Coast Guard) designated radio protection areas for mandatory VTS and establish marine VHF Channel 11 as the VTS frequency for Prince William Sound. This action is in response to a request from the Coast Guard. The designation of Prince William Sound as a VTS area will allow the Coast Guard to manage vessel traffic in a more efficient manner.
