33 CFR 165

[COTP Southeast Alaska 00-017]
RIN 2115-AA97


Safety Zone; Tongass Narrows, Ketchikan, AK; correction

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Correcting amendments.

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

SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to the final regulations 
which were published in the Federal Register, June 21, 1994, (59 FR 
31933). The regulations related to the movement of vessels in Tongass 
Narrows, Ketchikan, AK during the annual fireworks display. That 
document contained a latitude/longitude position and 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 
Coast Guard Marine Safety Office Juneau, (907) 463-2470.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    In final rule 59 FR 31933, the latitude/longitude position and 
safety fallout radius around the barge conducting fireworks display are 
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 and changing the latitude/longitude 
position.

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:
