Safety Zone; Gastineau Channel, Juneau, AK; Correction

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Correcting amendment.

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

SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to the final regulations 
which were published in the Federal Register, June 21, 1994, (59 FR 
31934). The regulations related to the movement of vessels in Gastineau 
Channel, Juneau, AK during the annual fireworks display. That document 
contained a required safety fallout radius from the barge conducting 
fireworks display that has changed; thus, a correction is necessary.

DATES: Effective on December 26, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lieutenant Cecil McNutt, United States

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    In final rule 59 FR 31934, the safety fallout radius around the 
barge conducting fireworks display is no longer correct because the 
marine event sponsor has increased the fireworks display shell size (12 
inches) and amount of fireworks display (600 lbs Division 1.3G UN 
0335), causing an increase in the required safety fallout radius of 300 
yards around the barge conducting fireworks display activities.

Need for Correction

    As published, the final regulations contain errors which may prove 
to be dangerous to the public and need to be amended. Accordingly, 33 
CFR Part 165 is corrected by making the following correcting 
amendments:

PART 165--REGULATED NAVIGATION AREAS AND LIMITED ACCESS AREAS

    1. The authority citation for part 165 continues to read as 
follows:

    Authority: 33 U.S.C. 1231; 50 U.S.C. 191, 33 CFR 1.05-1(g), 
6.04-1, 6.04-6, 160.5; 49 CFR 1.46.


Sec. 165.1706  [Amended]

    2. In Sec. 165.1706 paragraph (a), remove the word ``100'' and add 
the word ``300'' in its place, respectively.
