AGENCY: Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking; corrections.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On March 6, 2023, the Coast Guard published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to establish 13 temporary 500-meter safety
zones in the South Fork Wind Farm project area. That proposed rule
contained four labeling plot location errors and one error of the
coordinates describing a labeling plot location. This document corrects
those errors in the NPRM.
DATES: Comments to the NPRM published at 88 FR 13745 on March 6, 2023,
and related material must be received by the Coast Guard on or before
April 5, 2023. This correction will not cause any delay of the
originally established comment period for the NPRM.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about the
proposed rulemaking, call or email Mr. Craig Lapiejko, Waterways
Management, at Coast Guard First District, telephone 617-223-8351,
email <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#127160737b753c763c7e73627b7778797d52676171753c7f7b7e"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="99faebf8f0feb7fdb7f5f8e9f0fcf3f2f6d9eceafafeb7f4f0f5">[email protected]</span></a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 6, 2023, the Coast Guard published
a NPRM titled ``Safety Zone; South Fork Wind Farm Project Area, Outer
Continental Shelf, Lease OCS-A 0517, Offshore Rhode Island, Atlantic
Ocean'' (88 FR 13745). In this NPRM we discussed a proposal to
establish 13 safety zones to ensure the safety of life, property, and
the environment within a 500-meter radius of each of the 13 facilities
during their construction. Four of the names for labeling plot
locations in addition to the coordinates of one labeling plot location
were discovered to be erroneous and require correction.
The positions of each individual safety zone in our proposed rule
were referred to using a unique alpha-numeric naming convention
outlined in the ``Rhode Island and Massachusetts Structure Labeling
Plot (West)''.\1\ This document corrects both tables and a chartlet
discussed in our proposed rule by correcting the four labeling plot
location errors with replacing AN07, AM09, AN10, and AP10 with AM05,
AN05, AP05, and AN08, and correcting the coordinates describing AN06.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The Rhode Island and Massachusetts Structure Labeling Plot
(West) is an attachment to the Conditions of Construction and
Operations Plan Approval Lease Number OCS-A 0517 (<a href="http://boem.gov">boem.gov</a>) and can
be found at <a href="https://www.boem.gov/sites/default/files/documents/renewable-energy/state-activities/SFWF-COP-Terms-and-Conditions.pdf">https://www.boem.gov/sites/default/files/documents/renewable-energy/state-activities/SFWF-COP-Terms-and-Conditions.pdf</a>.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with 33 CFR 147.15, the proposed safety zones would
include the area within 500-meters of the center point of the positions
provided in the corrected table expressed in Decimal Degrees based on
North American Datum 1983 (NAD 83).
The corrected chartlet showing positions of each proposed safety
zone using unique alpha-numeric naming convention is also set out.
