ACTION: Notice of termination. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: This rulemaking project was initiated to make various administrative changes to clarify the statutory authority and purposes of special anchorage areas and anchorage grounds; remove references to specific state and local ordinances governing special anchorage areas; relocate anchorage grounds (Subpart B) from Part 110 to a new Part 111; adopt a standardized anchorage description format using latitudes and longitudes; and establish a geographically oriented national numbering system for anchorages. Because Coast Guard resources have been devoted to higher priority issues, staff to complete this editorial effort has not been and will not be available in the foreseeable future to complete this initiative. Therefore, the Coast Guard is terminating further rulemaking under docket number 86-079. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Margie G. Hegy, Project Manager, Short Range Aids to Navigation Division, U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters, (202) 267-0415. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Responsibility for the administration and enforcement of anchorage regulations was transferred from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to the U.S. Coast Guard in 1967. Many of the regulations have remained basically unchanged since that time. In 1979, the authority to designate special anchorage areas and anchorage grounds and to issue regulations pertaining to anchorage grounds was delegated to Coast Guard district commanders. State and local governments have also promulgated ordinances which apply in some of these designated anchorages. On March 11, 1988 (53 FR 7949) the Coast Guard proposed a number of editorial changes and a partial reorganization of the anchorage regulations in 33 CFR Part 110. After reviewing the comments received as a result of the NPRM, the Coast Guard published a Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on December 5, 1988 (53 FR 48935) proposing to expand the editorial revision of Part 110 to include creating a new Part 111 and standardizing the format for anchorage descriptions by using latitudes and longitudes. Because Coast Guard resources have been devoted to higher priority issues, staff to complete this extensive editorial effort has not been and will not be available in the foreseeable future to complete this initiative. Therefore, due to the time that has lapsed since the last section (1988) and the lack of resources to complete this rulemaking, the Coast Guard is terminating further rulemaking under docket number 86-079. This subject may be further reviewed and, as resources permit, future rulemaking projects initiated as needed. Dated: December 30, 1994. G.A. Penington, Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard Chief, Office of Navigation Safety and Waterway Services.
