33 CFR Part 165

[CGD09-01-129]
RIN 2115-AA97


Security Zone; Selfridge Army National Guard Base, MI

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard published a final rule on September 24, 2001, 
creating a security zone surrounding the waters off of Selfridge Air 
National Guard Base in Michigan. The original parameters of that zone 
extended one half mile from the shore, between the Hall Road launch 
ramp and the entrance to Mac and Rays Marina, and the rule had no 
expiration date. In the interest of small businesses within that zone, 
COTP Detroit has readjusted the northern boundary to allow these 
businesses to continue to operate, and an expiration date has been 
inserted into the rule. The security zone is needed to protect the 
Selfridge area from terrorist threats.

DATES: This correction becomes effective October 10, 2001. 33 CFR 
165.T09-998 published September 24, 2001 (66 FR 48796), as corrected in 
this document, is now effective only through June 15, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: ENS Brandon Sullivan, U.S. Coast Guard 
Marine Safety Office Detroit, (313) 568-9580.

Background and Purpose

    The Coast Guard published a final rule in the Federal Register on 
September 24, 2001, (66 FR 48795), to create a security zone in 
response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United 
States. We are changing the location of the northern boundary of the 
security Zone and the duration of rule.

Need for Correction

    Since publication, Captain of the Port Detroit has learned that a 
more southerly boundary would help facilitate local business owners. 
This readjustment in no ways compromises the intent of the original 
security zone. The regulation was published in response to the 
terrorist's attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on 
September 11, 2001. The security zone is intended to protect the life, 
property, and national security of U.S. citizens. These factors were 
considered along with the impact on local business in reestablishing 
the boundaries and effective period of this security zone.

Correction of Publication

    In rule FR Doc. 01-23712 published on September 24, 2001, make the 
following corrections. On page 48796, in the second column, on lines 
37-39, remove the phrase ``one half mile from shore between the Hall 
Road Launch Ramp and the entrance to Mac and Rays Marina'' and add, in 
its place, the phrase ``, starting at 42 deg.37.8' N, 082 deg.49.1' W; 
eastward one half mile from shore at42 deg.37.8' N, 082 deg.48.45' W; 
south to 42 deg.37.2' N, 082 deg.48.45' W; then southeast to 
42 deg.36.8' N, 082 deg.47.2' W; then southwest to Mac and Rays Marina 
at 42 deg.36.4' N, 082 deg.47.9' W; and then following the shoreline 
back to the starting point. These coordinates are based upon North 
American Datum 1983''; and on lines 41-42, remove the phrase ``becomes 
effective at 2 p.m. September 11, 2001'' and add, in its place, the 
phase ``is effective from September 11, 2001 through June 15, 2002''.

    Dated: October 10, 2001.
