Abstract
On January 3, 2023, the Coast Guard published a notice announcing the availability of a draft report of an Approaches to Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts Port Access Route Study (MNMPARS). The notice we sent to the Office of the Federal Register provided for a 30-day comment period. But when the notice was published it listed a past date, February 2, 2022, as the end of the comment period. This document extends the intended comment period to a full 30 days from the date of publication of this notice. The Coast Guard seeks comments on the content, proposed routing measures, and development of the report. The recommendations of MNMPARS study may lead to future rulemakings or appropriate international agreements.

Massachusetts
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Notice of availability of draft report; extension of comment
period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On January 3, 2023, the Coast Guard published a notice
announcing the availability of a draft report of an Approaches to
Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts Port Access Route Study
(MNMPARS). The notice we sent to the Office of the Federal Register
provided for a 30-day comment period. But when the notice was published
it listed a past date, February 2, 2022, as the end of the comment
period. This document extends the intended comment period to a full 30
days from the date of publication of this notice. The Coast Guard seeks
comments on the content, proposed routing measures, and development of
the report. The recommendations of MNMPARS study may lead to future
rulemakings or appropriate international agreements.
DATES: All comments and related material on the notice published at 88
FR 83 on January 3, 2022, must be received on or before February 13,
2023. Commenters should be aware that the electronic Federal Docket
Management System will not accept comments after midnight, Eastern
Daylight Time, on the last day of the comment period.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2022-0047 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal (<a href="http://www.regulations.gov">http://www.regulations.gov</a>). See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further
instructions on viewing the draft report and submitting comments.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about this
notice, call or email LTJG Thomas Davis, First Coast Guard District
(dpw), U.S. Coast Guard: telephone (617) 223-8632, email <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#8bd8c6c9a6cfbac9e4f8ffe4e5a6c6c5c6dbcad9d8cbfef8e8eca5e6e2e7"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="31627c731c7500735e42455e5f1c7c7f7c6170636271444252561f5c585d">[email protected]</span></a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 3, 2023, the Coast Guard
published a notice announcing the availability of a draft report of an
Approaches to Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts Port Access Route
Study (MNMPARS) (88 FR 83). While the public inspection version of the
notice (<a href="https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2022-28482.pdf">https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2022-28482.pdf</a>)
provided a 30-day comment period notice, the DATES section of that
published notice stated that comments and related material must be
received on or before ``February 2, 2022.'' Because this was a past
date, <a href="http://regulations.gov">regulations.gov</a> did not accept comments in our online docket. We
attempted to get the Office of the Federal Register to correct but a
correction has not yet been published.
If we were to simply correct the end of the comment period date in
the document published January 3, 2023, that would not provide a full
comment period. To provide those interested in commenting on the report
a full 30-day comment period, the Coast Guard is extending the comment
period to February 13, 2023. If the Office of the Federal Register
issues a correction to the date in the January 3, 2022 notice, that
will not impact this extension of the comment period. You will have
from January 12, 2023 (if not earlier) to February 13, 2023.
The draft report is available at this specific address in the
docket: <a href="https://www.regulations.gov/document/USCG-2022-0047-0044">https://www.regulations.gov/document/USCG-2022-0047-0044</a>. This
notice is published under the authority of 5 U.S.C. 552(a).
Dated: January 6, 2023.
James E. McLeod,
Acting Chief, Office of Regulations and Administrative Law.
