danger zone for ongoing infrared sensor testing for detection of
airborne chemical or biological agent simulants, directed energy

amendment will extend the legal authority to engage civilian watercraft
for safe transit instructions in the Potomac River within the expanded
middle danger zone.

comment period for the proposed rule. The original comment period ended
on January 4, 2023, and we are reopening the comment period for 45
