33 CFR Part 334


Buzzards Bay and Adjacent Waters, Mass.; Danger Zones for Naval 
Operations; 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 April 10, 1997 (62 FR 17550) amending its 
regulations to modify an existing danger zone in the waters of Buzzards 
Bay, Massachusetts. That document inadvertently did not include the 
proposed rule text that would prohibit entry into a portion of the 
danger zone. This document corrects the final rule by incorporating the 
intended prohibition of entry by persons or vessels into the designated 
area of the danger zone into Sec.  334.70(a)(2).

DATES: Effective date: August 18, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. David Olson, Headquarters, 
Operations and Regulatory Community of Practice, Washington, DC at 202-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers published a 
final rule in the Federal Register on April 10, 1997 (62 FR 17550), and 
later determined that correcting amendments need to be made to address 
the intended prohibited entry by vessels or persons into a portion of 
an established danger

zone. The proposed rule was published in the Federal Register on 
December 20, 1996 (61 FR 67265) and it prohibited entry of vessels or 
persons into a portion of the danger zone to help ensure public safety 
during naval operations in this area.
