33 CFR Part 162

[Docket No. USCG-2012-0952]
RIN 1625-AB95


Inland Waterways Navigation Regulation: Sacramento River, CA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is confirming the removal of the Decker Island 
restricted anchorage area in the Sacramento River. The restricted 
anchorage area was needed in the past to prevent non-government vessels 
from transiting through or anchoring in the United States Army's tug 
and barge anchorage zones. The United States Army relinquished control 
of the Island in 1975. A direct final rule detailing the removal of the 
restricted anchorage regulation was published in the Federal Register 
on January 23, 2013. We received no comments in response, therefore, 
the rule will go into effect as scheduled.

DATES: The effective date of the direct final rule published January 
23, 2013 (78 FR 4785) is confirmed as April 23, 2013.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this notice, 
call or email Lieutenant Lucas Mancini, U.S. Coast Guard Eleventh 
District; telephone (510) 437-3801 or email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 23, 2013, we published a direct 
final rule and request for comment entitled, ``Inland Waterways 
Navigation Regulation: Sacramento River, CA'' in the Federal Register 
(78 FR 4785). That rule announced our intent to update the inland 
waterways navigation regulations by removing the Decker Island 
restricted anchorage described in 33 CFR 162.205(c).
    In the direct final rule we notified the public of our intent to 
make the rule effective on April 23, 2013, unless an adverse comment, 
or notice of intent to submit an adverse comment, was received on or 
before March 25, 2013. We did not receive any comments or notices of 
intent to submit an adverse comment on the rule. Therefore, under 33 
CFR 1.05-55(d), we now confirm that the removal of the Decker Island 
restricted anchorage will become effective, as scheduled, on April 23, 
2013.

    Dated: April 9, 2013.
K.L. Schultz,
Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Commander, Eleventh Coast Guard 
District.
