[USCG-2011-0948]


Great Lakes Pilotage Advisory Committee

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Committee Management; Notice of Federal Advisory Committee 
Meeting; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard published in the Federal Register of October 
4, 2011, a notice announcing a Great Lakes Pilotage Advisory Committee 
(GLPAC) public meeting on October 18, 2011, in Washington, District of 
Columbia. This notice corrects that previous notice to add an 
explanation for why 15-days advance notice was not given.

DATES: GLPAC will meet on Tuesday, October 18, 2011, from 9 a.m. to 4 
p.m. Please note the meeting may close early if the committee completes 
its business. Written material and requests to make oral presentations 
should reach us on or before October 14, 2011.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at Coast Guard Headquarters, 2100 
2nd Street Southwest, Washington, District of Columbia 20593, in 
conference room 51309.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. David Dean, GLPAC Assistant 
Designated Federal Officer (ADFO), Commandant (CG-5522), U.S. Coast 
Guard Headquarters, 2100 Second Street, SW., Stop 7580, Washington, DC 
20593-7580; telephone 202-372-1533, fax 202-372-1909, or e-mail at 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard's October 4, 2011 notice of 
the October 18, 2011, GLPAC meeting inadvertently failed to contain an 
explanation for its publication less than 15 calendar days prior to the 
meeting, as required by General Services Administration rules 41 CFR 
102-3.150(b). The reason the notice was published only 14 calendar days 
prior to the meeting was a Coast Guard administrative delay. The Coast 
Guard regrets the delay in publication, but notes that the notice was 
published 14 days prior to the meeting and was publicly available on 
the Federal Register Web site 19 calendar days prior to the meeting. 
Additionally, all known interested parties were made aware of the 
meeting with sufficient time for planning purposes.
    It is critical that this meeting be held on the announced meeting 
date because the advisory committee members have limited availability 
for the remainder of the calendar year. Delays in committee discussions 
could have significant ramifications for ongoing Coast Guard studies 
and evaluations on the agenda for the upcoming meeting. Maintaining the 
current meeting schedule allows the Coast Guard to continue 
deliberations and forward progress regarding the bridge hour study, a 
key component of the statutory ratemaking authority of the Great Lakes 
Pilotage program.
    If you have been adversely affected by the one-day delay in 
publishing the notice, contact Mr. David Dean (see FOR FURTHER 
INFORMATION CONTACT) and the Coast Guard will make every effort to 
accommodate you.

    Dated: September 29, 2011.
Kathryn A. Sinniger,
Chief, Office of Regulations and Administrative Law (CG-0943), U.S. 
Coast Guard.
