-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document contains a correction to the interim final rule 
which was published Monday, August 21, 1995 (60 FR 43378-43379). The 
effective date was August 21, 1995, with the comment period expiring on

waters of Sinclair Inlet adjacent to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, 
Bremerton, Washington, to safeguard U.S. Navy vessels and Government 
facilities from sabotage and other subversive acts, accidents, or other 
incidents of a similar nature and to protect vessels and individuals 
from the dangers associated with the industrial waterfront facilities 
at the shipyard. Entry into this zone is prohibited unless otherwise 
authorized by these regulations or the Commander, Naval Base Seattle, 
Washington, or whomever he/she designates.

DATES: Effective November 24, 1995.

Branch, Seattle District at (206) 764-3495, or Mr. Ralph Eppard, 
Regulatory Branch, CECW-OR at (202) 761-1783.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As a result of a court decision affecting 
the regulations in 33 CFR 334.1240, the Commanding Officer, Puget Sound 
Naval Shipyard reviewed the physical security and safety conditions 
around the shipyard active piers and drydocks. Based on this review, 
the Commanding Officer requested that the restricted area regulations 
be amended to prohibit the trespassing of persons into the restricted 
areas at Sinclair Inlet; add a coordinate to a accommodate the 
extension of the south end of ``mooring A'' maintaining a buffer 100 
yards south of the end of this mooring, and to change the geographic 
coordinates for the restricted area to conform to the 1983 re-
establishment of the National Geodetic Vertical Datum. These revisions 
were published by the Corps as interim final rules on August 21, 1995. 
All comments received in response to the interim final rule and the 
public notice issued by the Seattle District Engineer are being 
reviewed.
