SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the December 5, 2022, issue of the
Federal Register (87 FR 74348), the Corps published a proposed rule to
establish three permanent danger zones in the waters of Carr Creek and
Whitehall Bay in the vicinity of the Naval Support Activity Annapolis,
Annapolis, Maryland. The establishment of the proposed danger zone in
Carr Creek is necessary to enable safe operation of the United States
Naval Academy firing range and to reflect the routine and periodic
usage of the firing range for training Sailors, Midshipmen, and law
enforcement personnel. The establishment of the two proposed danger
zones in Whitehall Bay is necessary to enable the safe operation of the
United States Naval Academy firing range and to reflect irregular and
infrequent usage of the range for training Sailors, Midshipmen, and law
enforcement personnel. The firing range faces Carr Creek and, during
times of operation, may present a danger to vessels located in the
proposed danger zones. According to the installation, the firing range
is normally in operation for live firing approximately 4 to 6 times per
year.
The Corps has received numerous requests for an extension of the
comment period for the proposed rule. Because the original comment
period ended on January 4, 2023, we are reopening the comment period
for 45 days. Comments must be received by March 6, 2023.
Thomas P. Smith,
Chief, Operations and Regulatory Division.
