DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
Coast Guard
[USCG-2011-0948]
Great Lakes Pilotage Advisory Committee
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Committee Management; Notice of Federal Advisory Committee
Meeting; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard published in the Federal Register of October
4, 2011, a notice announcing a Great Lakes Pilotage Advisory Committee
(GLPAC) public meeting on October 18, 2011, in Washington, District of
Columbia. This notice corrects that previous notice to add an
explanation for why 15-days advance notice was not given.
DATES: GLPAC will meet on Tuesday, October 18, 2011, from 9 a.m. to 4
p.m. Please note the meeting may close early if the committee completes
its business. Written material and requests to make oral presentations
should reach us on or before October 14, 2011.
ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at Coast Guard Headquarters, 2100
2nd Street Southwest, Washington, District of Columbia 20593, in
conference room 51309.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. David Dean, GLPAC Assistant
Designated Federal Officer (ADFO), Commandant (CG-5522), U.S. Coast
Guard Headquarters, 2100 Second Street, SW., Stop 7580, Washington, DC
20593-7580; telephone 202-372-1533, fax 202-372-1909, or e-mail at
[email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard's October 4, 2011 notice of
the October 18, 2011, GLPAC meeting inadvertently failed to contain an
explanation for its publication less than 15 calendar days prior to the
meeting, as required by General Services Administration rules 41 CFR
102-3.150(b). The reason the notice was published only 14 calendar days
prior to the meeting was a Coast Guard administrative delay. The Coast
Guard regrets the delay in publication, but notes that the notice was
published 14 days prior to the meeting and was publicly available on
the Federal Register Web site 19 calendar days prior to the meeting.
Additionally, all known interested parties were made aware of the
meeting with sufficient time for planning purposes.
It is critical that this meeting be held on the announced meeting
date because the advisory committee members have limited availability
for the remainder of the calendar year. Delays in committee discussions
could have significant ramifications for ongoing Coast Guard studies
and evaluations on the agenda for the upcoming meeting. Maintaining the
current meeting schedule allows the Coast Guard to continue
deliberations and forward progress regarding the bridge hour study, a
key component of the statutory ratemaking authority of the Great Lakes
Pilotage program.
If you have been adversely affected by the one-day delay in
publishing the notice, contact Mr. David Dean (see FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT) and the Coast Guard will make every effort to
accommodate you.
Dated: September 29, 2011.
Kathryn A. Sinniger,
Chief, Office of Regulations and Administrative Law (CG-0943), U.S.
Coast Guard.
