33 CFR Part 110

[Docket No. USCG-2014-0142]
RIN 1625-AA01


Anchorage Regulations: Special Anchorage Areas, Marina del Rey 
Harbor, California

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking; notice of public meeting and 
reopening of the comment period.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard announces a November 20, 2014 public meeting 
to receive comments on a notice of proposed rulemaking entitled 
``Anchorage Regulations: Subpart A--Special Anchorage Areas, Marina del 
Rey Harbor, California '' that was published in the Federal Register on 
May 28, 2014. As stated in that document, the Coast Guard proposes to 
disestablish the special anchorage area at the north end of the main 
channel in Marina del Rey Harbor, California. This proposed action 
would remove the anchorage area from Coast Guard regulations. This 
proposed rule would not prevent vessels from anchoring in the harbor 
during storms, stress, or other emergency situations. We have reopened 
the comment period which will now end November 28, 2014.

DATES: A public meeting will be held on Thursday, November 20, 2014, 
from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in Marina del Rey, CA to provide an 
opportunity for oral comments. The comment period for this rulemaking 
is reopened through November 28, 2014.

ADDRESSES: The public meeting will be held at the Burton W. Chace Park 
Community Room, 13650 Mindanao Way, Marina del Rey, CA 90292, telephone 
310-305-9595.
