DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers
33 CFR Part 334
United States Navy Restricted Area, Menominee River, Marinette
Marine Corporation Shipyard, Marinette, WI; Corrections
AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, DoD.
ACTION: Correcting amendments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers published a document in the
Federal Register on May 24, 2011 (76 FR 30024), amending its
regulations to establish a restricted area in the waters of the
Menominee River at the Marinette Marine Corporation Shipyard in
Marinette, Wisconsin. That document inadvertently included latitude and
longitude coordinates for the restricted area boundary that resulted in
encroachment into a Federal navigation project. This document corrects
the final rule by revising the latitude and longitude coordinates
listed in Sec. 334.815 (a) to reduce the restricted area so that it
does not encroach on the Federal navigation project. The document also
listed the Department of the Navy organization responsible for
administration and enforcement of the
[[Page 20296]]
restricted area as the Supervisor of Shipbuilding, Conversion, and
Repair Gulf Coast (SUPSHIP Gulf Coast). After the document was
published, the Department of the Navy revised the mission, functions,
and tasks of the Supervisors of Shipbuilding, Conversion and Repair
organization. This organizational revision changed the administrative
and enforcement responsibilities for the subject restricted area from
SUPSHIP Gulf Coast to SUPSHIP Bath, Maine. This document corrects the
final rule by revising Sec. 334.815 (b) and (c) to reflect the
organizational change.
DATES: Effective date: April 4, 2012.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. David Olson, Headquarters,
Operations and Regulatory Community of Practice, Washington, DC at 202-
761-4922 or by email at david.b.olson@usace.army.mil or Mr. Todd
Vesperman, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District, Regulatory
Branch, at 920-448-2824 or by email at todd.m.vesperman@usace.army.mil.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers published a
final rule in the Federal Register on May 24, 2011 (76 FR 30024), and
later determined that correcting amendments need to be made to address
encroachment into a Federal navigation channel and a change in the
enforcing authority that occurred as a result of the Department of the
Navy revising the mission, functions, and tasks of the Supervisors of
Shipbuilding, Conversion and Repair (SUPSHIPs) organization. That
organizational revision changed administrative and enforcement
responsibilities for the subject restricted area from SUPSHIP Gulf
Coast to SUPSHIP Bath, Maine. This correcting amendment changes the
latitude and longitude coordinates in Sec. 334.815(a) so that the
restricted area will not encroach into the Federal navigation project.
This correcting amendment also changes the administrative and
enforcement responsibilities in Sec. 334.815(b) and (c) for the
subject restricted area from SUPSHIP Gulf Coast to SUPSHIP Bath, Maine.
