SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on January 19, 2024, proposing the
establishment of shipping safety fairways along the Atlantic coast. 89
FR 3587. The proposed rule is intended to protect traditional shipping
routes as well as to help facilitate development on the outer
continental shelf (OCS). Since publication, we've received multiple
requests from commenters requesting further public engagement from the
Coast Guard. The Coast Guard is committed to the meaningful
participation of stakeholders in the rulemaking process and to
receiving the highest quality input and expertise that the private
sector has to offer. In that spirit, we have decided to host a public
meeting to gather further information on the potential impacts of the
proposed fairways.
The meeting will be hosted at Stockton University at 6 p.m. on
April 17, 2024. The meeting will be held at 101 Vera King Farris Drive,
Galloway, NJ 08205 in the L-Wing Building, Classroom 112. The meeting
will consist of a brief presentation by the Coast Guard followed by the
submissions of public comments. This is not a question-and-answer
session, but an opportunity for the public to hear from the Coast Guard
and to provide feedback on the proposed fairways.
This document also extends the comment period for the Shipping
Safety Fairways along the Atlantic Coast NPRM for 30 days in order to
allow the public to gather their thoughts following the public meeting.
The extended comment period will close on May 17, 2024. This document
is issued under authority found in 5 U.S.C. 552(a).
Dated: March 18, 2024.
