establishing security zones in Tampa Bay, Port of Tampa, Port of Saint 
Petersburg, Port Manatee, Rattlesnake, Old Port Tampa, Big Bend, Weedon 
Island, and Crystal River, Florida. The rule erroneously listed the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background and Purpose

    The Coast Guard published a final rule in the Federal Register of 
March 25, 2003 (68 FR 14328) establishing security zones in Tampa Bay, 
Port of Tampa, Port of Saint Petersburg, Port Manatee, Rattlesnake, Old 
Port Tampa, Big Bend, Weedon Island, and Crystal River, Florida. In our 
discussion of the rule and in paragraph (a)(14) of that rule, the 
geographic position, description, and size of the security zone for the 
Big Bend Power Facility were erroneously published as:
    (14) Big Bend, Tampa Bay, Florida. All waters of Tampa Bay, from 
surface to bottom, extending 50 yards from the shore, seawalls and 
piers around the Big Bend Power Facility, encompassed by a line 
connecting the following points: 27[deg]47.85' N, 082[deg]25.02' W then 
east and south along the shore and pile to 27[deg]47.63' N, 
082[deg]24.70' W then north along the shore to 27[deg]48.17' N, 
082[deg]24.70' W then north and west along a straight line to 
27[deg]48.12' N, 082[deg]24.88' W then south along the shore and pile 
to 27[deg]47.85' N, 082[deg]25.02' W, closing off entrance to the Big 
Bend Power Facility.
    This correction changes the geographic description and positions 
to:
    (14) Big Bend, Tampa Bay, Florida. All waters of Tampa Bay, from 
surface to bottom, adjacent to the Big Bend Power Facility, and within 
an area bounded by a line connecting the following points: 
27[deg]47.85' N, 082[deg]25.02' W then east and south along the shore 
and pile to 27[deg]47.63' N, 082[deg]24.70' W then north along the 
shore to 27[deg]48.02' N, 082[deg]24.70' W then north and est along a 
straight line to 27[deg]48.12' N, 082[deg]4.88' W then south along the 
shore and pile to 27[deg]47.85' N, 082[deg]25.02' W, closing off 
entrance to the Big Bend Power Facility.
    In our discussion of the rule and in paragraph (a)(15) of that 
rule, the geographic positions and description for the Weedon Island 
Power Facility were erroneously published as:
    (15) Weedon Island, Tampa Bay, Florida. All waters of Tampa Bay, 
from surface to bottom, extending 50 yards from the shore, seawall and 
piers around the Power Facility at Weedon Island encompassed by a line 
connecting the following points: 27[deg]51.52' N, 082[deg]35.82' W then 
north and east along the shore to 27[deg]51.54' N, 082[deg]35.78' W 
then north to 27[deg]51.68' N, 082[deg]35.78' W then north to 
27[deg]51.75' N, 082[deg]35.78' W closing off entrance to the canal 
then north to 27[deg]51.89' N, 082[deg]35.82' W then east along the 
shore to 27[deg]51.89' N, 082[deg]36.10' W then east to 27[deg]51.89' 
N, 082[deg]36.14' W closing off entrance to the canal.
    This correction changes the geographic description and positions 
to:
    (15) Weedon Island, Tampa Bay, Florida. All waters of Tampa Bay, 
from surface to bottom, extending 50 yards from the shore, seawall and 
piers around the Power Facility at Weedon Island encompassed by a line 
connecting the following points: 27[deg]51.52' N, 082[deg]35.82' W then 
north and east along the shore to 27[deg]51.54' N, 082[deg]35.78' W 
then north to 27[deg]51.68' N, 082[deg]35.78' W then north to 
27[deg]51.75' N, 082[deg]35.78' W closing off entrance to the canal 
then north to 27[deg]51.89' N, 082[deg]35.82' W then west along the 
shore to 27[deg]51.89' N, 082[deg]36.10' W then west to 27[deg]51.89' 
N, 082[deg]36.14' W closing off entrance to the canal.
