SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background and Purpose
On July 29, 2021, the Coast Guard announced a Port Access Route
Study (PARS) that will cover the Pacific Coast from the Washington/
Canada border to the California/Mexico border. The Coast Guard is
conducting this PARS to evaluate safe access routes for the movement of
vessel traffic proceeding to or from ports or places along the western
seaboard of the United States and to determine whether a Shipping
Safety Fairway (``Fairway'') and/or routing measures should be
established, adjusted or modified. The PARS will evaluate the continued
applicability of, and the need for modifications to, current vessel
routing measures. The data gathered during this Pacific Coast PARS
(PAC-PARS) may result in the recommendation for the establishment of
one or more new vessel routing measures, modification of existing
routing measures, or disestablishment of existing routing measures off
the Pacific Coast along Washington, Oregon, and California.
In order to keep the public informed on the PARS as the study
proceeds, the Coast Guard Pacific Area has set up an online information
center that can be found here: <a href="https://homeport.uscg.mil/Lists/Content/DispForm.aspx?ID=77149&Source=/Lists/Content/DispForm.aspx?ID=77149">https://homeport.uscg.mil/Lists/Content/DispForm.aspx?ID=77149&Source=/Lists/Content/DispForm.aspx?ID=77149</a>.
This notice is issued under authority of 5 U.S.C. 552(a).
Dated: April 28, 2022.
K.B. Reed,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Chief, PACAREA Preparedness Division (PAC-
5).
