Temporary Speed Limits for the St. Marys River; Correction

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Final rules.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document corrects the temporary final regulations [CGD09-
94-036] which were published on Monday, January 23, 1995, (60 FR 4378) 
concerning the Speed Limits for the St. Marys River.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 16, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ms. Irene Hoffman, Project Manager, Vessel Traffic Services Division 
(G-NVT), at (202) 267-6277.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    In accordance with an agreement reached on June 29, 1993, with the 
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and 
the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, the Coast Guard may make 
temporary changes to the speed regulations for periods during the 
winter season when icebreaking is being conducted in the vicinity of 
Neebish Island, St. Marys River, Michigan, as a precautionary measure 
to minimize any possible damage to the environment.
    In 59 FR 36324 of July 15, 1994; sections 161.1 through 161.60 of 
33 CFR Part 161 were revised. In this document revising Part 161, speed 
limit regulations for the St. Marys River were placed in 33 CFR Part 
162.
    On January 23, 1995, a document was published at page 4378 to amend 
33 CFR Part 161. This document, intended to address temporary speed 
limits in the St. Marys River, amended Part 161 by suspending 
Sec. 161.880 and adding Sec. 161.881. The suspension and addition were 
effective from December 29, 1994 through April 15, 1995.

Need for Correction

    The January 23, 1995, amendments did not make the needed temporary 
changes to the St. Marys River speed limits. That publication, 
therefore, needs to be revoked. A new temporary rulemaking addressing 
the St. Marys River speed limits in 33 CFR 162.117 will be prepared for 
publication.
    For this reason, under the authority of 33 U.S.C. 1231 and 49 CFR 
1.46, the suspension of Sec. 161.880 is terminated and Sec. 161.881 is 
removed.
