33 CFR Part 100
[Docket No. USCG-2011-0551]
RIN 1625-AA00; 1625-AA08
Special Local Regulation and Safety Zone; America's Cup Sailing
Events, San Francisco, CA; Correction
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Temporary final rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On July 17, 2012, the Coast Guard published in the Federal
Register a temporary final rule establishing a special local regulation
for sailing events scheduled to occur on the waters of San Francisco
Bay adjacent to the City of San Francisco waterfront in the vicinity of
the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island. Inadvertently, this rule
included errors in four navigational coordinates of the transit zone
established for the 2013 America's Cup events. This document corrects
those erroneous coordinates.
DATES: Effective on December 10, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 17, 2012, the Coast Guard published
a temporary final rule regulating the on-water activities associated
with the ``Louis Vuitton Cup,'' ``Red Bull Youth America's Cup,'' and
``America's Cup Finals Match'' scheduled to occur in July, August, and
September, 2013 (77 FR 41902). Among the regulations established by
this temporary final rule was a transit zone created to facilitate the
safe transit of vessels needing access to pier space and facilities
along the City of San Francisco waterfront and to minimize other
traffic that may obstruct the waterfront (33 CFR 100.T11-0551B(d)(6),
to become effective July 4, 2013-September 23, 2013). An image
illustrating the location of the transit zone is available in the
docket.
On August 20, 2012, the Coast Guard became aware of errors in the
transit zone coordinates after a member of the Coast Guard plotted the
transit zone on vessel traffic management software and found four
coordinates positioned on land and out of line with the concept of
operations developed by the Coast Guard. All four errors can be
attributed to data-entry errors, where a 4 was accidently typed as a 2
in the seconds of one coordinate, and a 2 was accidently typed as a 1
in the degrees of three other coordinates. When plotted, the erroneous
coordinates do not reflect the transit zone as described in the
[[Page 73312]]
temporary final rule and shared with the public in diagrams and
presentations. The narrative description of the transit zone in the
temporary final rule, and the images distributed during outreach,
accurately portray the operational intentions of the Coast Guard and
the America's Cup regulated areas. To ensure that members of the public
have the correct geographical positioning data to locate the regulated
areas and navigate around the dangers associated with the sailing
events, the Coast Guard is correcting these coordinates to align with
the stated intent of the temporary final rule and the images
distributed during public outreach. The location and restrictions of 33
CFR 100.T11-0551B remain as they were described on July 17, 2012, and
are not changed by this correction.
In Federal Register document 2012-17305 published on July 17, 2012,
(77 FR 41902), make the following correction:
