DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 147

[Docket Number USCG-2023-0073]
RIN 1625-AA00


Safety Zone; South Fork Wind Farm Project Area, Outer Continental 
Shelf, Lease OCS-A 0517, Offshore Rhode Island, Atlantic Ocean; 
Corrections

AGENCY: Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking; corrections.

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

SUMMARY: On March 6, 2023, the Coast Guard published a notice of 
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to establish 13 temporary 500-meter safety 
zones in the South Fork Wind Farm project area. That proposed rule 
contained four labeling plot location errors and one error of the 
coordinates describing a labeling plot location. This document corrects 
those errors in the NPRM.

DATES: Comments to the NPRM published at 88 FR 13745 on March 6, 2023, 
and related material must be received by the Coast Guard on or before 
April 5, 2023. This correction will not cause any delay of the 
originally established comment period for the NPRM.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about the 
proposed rulemaking, call or email Mr. Craig Lapiejko, Waterways 
Management, at Coast Guard First District, telephone 617-223-8351, 
email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 6, 2023, the Coast Guard published 
a NPRM titled ``Safety Zone; South Fork Wind Farm Project Area, Outer 
Continental Shelf, Lease OCS-A 0517, Offshore Rhode Island, Atlantic 
Ocean'' (88 FR 13745). In this NPRM we discussed a proposal to 
establish 13 safety zones to ensure the safety of life, property, and 
the environment within a 500-meter radius of each of the 13 facilities 
during their construction. Four of the names for labeling plot 
locations in addition to the coordinates of one labeling plot location 
were discovered to be erroneous and require correction.
    The positions of each individual safety zone in our proposed rule 
were referred to using a unique alpha-numeric naming convention 
outlined in the ``Rhode Island and Massachusetts Structure Labeling 
Plot (West)''.\1\ This document corrects both tables and a chartlet 
discussed in our proposed rule by correcting the four labeling plot 
location errors with replacing AN07, AM09, AN10, and AP10 with AM05, 
AN05, AP05, and AN08, and correcting the coordinates describing AN06.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Rhode Island and Massachusetts Structure Labeling Plot 
(West) is an attachment to the Conditions of Construction and 
Operations Plan Approval Lease Number OCS-A 0517 (boem.gov) and can 
be found at https://www.boem.gov/sites/default/files/documents/renewable-energy/state-activities/SFWF-COP-Terms-and-Conditions.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In accordance with 33 CFR 147.15, the proposed safety zones would 
include the area within 500-meters of the center point of the positions 
provided in the corrected table expressed in Decimal Degrees based on 
North American Datum 1983 (NAD 83).
    The corrected chartlet showing positions of each proposed safety 
zone using unique alpha-numeric naming convention is also set out.
