RIN 2115-AA97


Security Zone; Lake Erie, Toledo, OH

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Temporary final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard published a temporary final rule on October 
12, 2001, creating a security zone surrounding the waters off of Davis 
Besse Nuclear Power Plant near Toledo, Ohio. The original parameters of 
that zone blocked approximately 40 beachfront homes from beach access. 
In the interest of homeowners and recreational boaters within that 
zone, Captain of the Port (COTP) Toledo has

[[Page 19674]]

readjusted the western boundary to allow these homeowners full access 
to their beachfront property, including use of recreational vessels off 
that beachfront property. The security zone is necessary to protect the 
Davis Besse Nuclear Power Plant from terrorist threats.

DATES: This rule is effective from April 2, 2002 through June 15, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: LT Herb Oertli, Chief of Port 
Operations, Marine Safety Office, 420 Madison Ave, Suite 700, Toledo, 
Ohio 43604; (419) 418-6050.

Background and Purpose

    The Coast Guard published a temporary final rule in the Federal 
Register on October 12, 2001, (66 FR 52038), 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 western boundary of the 
security zone.

Need for Correction

    Since publication, Captain of the Port Toledo has learned that a 
western boundary located more easterly or closer to the nuclear plant 
would allow local home-owners full beach access, including by 
recreational vessel. 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 homeowners 
and recreational vessels in reestablishing the boundaries of this 
security zone.

Correction of Publication

    In rule FR Doc. 01-25651, published on October 12, 2001, (66 FR 
52038) make the following corrections. On page 52038, in the third 
column, lines 16-23, replace the sentence ``The security zone consists 
of all navigable waters of Lake Erie within a line beginning from 
position 41 deg.36.8' N, 083 deg.06.2' W; north to 41 deg.37.7' N, 
083 deg.06.0' W; east to 41 deg.36.6' N, 083 deg.03.7' W; south to 
41 deg.35.8' N, 083 deg.04.0' W, back to the beginning point.'' and 
add, in it's place, the sentences ``The boundary of the security zone 
commences at 41 deg.36.3' N, 083 deg.04.9' W; north to 41 deg.37.0' N, 
083 deg.03.9' W; east to 41 deg.35.9' N, 083 deg.02.5' W; south-west to 
41 deg.35.4' N, 083 deg.03.7' W; then back to the starting point 
41 deg.36.3' N, 083 deg.04.9' W. These coordinates are based upon North 
American Datum 1983.''; and on page 52039, in the third column, lines 
24-31, remove the sentence ``This security zone consists of all 
navigable waters of Lake Erie within a line beginning from position 
41 deg.36.8' N, 083 deg.06.2' W; north to 41 deg.37.7' N, 083 deg.06.0' 
W; east to 41 deg.36.6' N, 083 deg.03.7' W; south to 41 deg.35.8' N, 
083 deg.04.0' W, back to the beginning point.'' and add, in it's place, 
the sentence ``The boundary of the security zone commences at 
41 deg.36.3 N, 083 deg.04.9' W; north to 41 deg.37.0' N, 083 deg.03.9' 
W; east to 41 deg.35.9' N, 083 deg.02.5' W; south-west to 41 deg.35.4'
