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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard published a proposed rule detailing the 
potential establishment of shipping safety fairways along the Atlantic 
coast. In order to help stakeholders visualize the proposed fairways, 
the Coast Guard is making geographic information system files available 
for public access.

DATES: Comments submitted on the proposed rule published January 19, 
2024, at 89 FR 3587, must be received by the Coast Guard on or before 
April 18, 2024.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information about this document 
call or email Maureen Kallgren, Coast Guard; telephone 202-372-1561, 
email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard published a proposed rule on 
January 19, 2024, proposing a series of shipping safety fairways along 
the Atlantic Coast (89 FR 3587). If you want to submit comments or 
related material on the proposed rule they must be received by the 
Coast Guard on or before April 18, 2024.
    In order to visualize the dimensions of the proposed fairways, many 
stakeholders reached out and asked for the geographic information 
system (GIS) files that chart the fairways. A GIS file displays 
geographically referenced information, in this case the location and 
dimensions of the proposed fairways. These files are now available for 
public access at https://www.navcen.uscg.gov/rulemaking-files.
    This document is issued under authority found in 5 U.S.C. 552(a).
