30-Day Notice

58592

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 165 / Monday, August 28, 2023 / Notices

Background and Purpose
On April 5, 2017, the Coast Guard
announced the completion of the
Atlantic Coast Port Access Route Study
in the Federal Register (82 FR 16510),
which is available for viewing and
download from the Coast Guard
Navigation Center’s website at https://
www.navcen.uscg.gov/port-access-routestudies.
The ACPARS identified navigation
safety corridors along the Atlantic Coast
based on the predominant two-way
vessel traffic and customary routes
confirmed with AIS data for offshore
deep draft and coastal seagoing tug/tow
vessels. The study recommended using
these corridor locations to establish
shipping safety fairways or other
appropriate vessel routing measures.
Recognizing the ACPARS only
analyzed coastal, longshore, and
predominantly north/south vessel
transit routes along the Atlantic Coast,
the Coast Guard announced new studies
focused on port approaches and
international entry and departure areas
along the Atlantic Coast to supplement
the ACPARS on March 15, 2019 (84 FR
9541). On September 9, 2022, the Coast
Guard announced the availability of the
Consolidated Port Approaches and
International Entry and Departure
Transit Areas Port Access Route
Studies, (CPAPARS) (87 FR 55449). The
CPAPARS summarizes the findings of
four regional port access route studies:
the Northern New York Bight; Seacoast
of New Jersey Including Offshore
Approaches to the Delaware Bay,
Delaware; Approaches to the
Chesapeake Bay, Virginia; and the
Seacoast of North Carolina; as well as
ongoing dialogue with the maritime
industry.
To provide continued engagement
with stakeholders, the Coast Guard
announced the availability of an
updated CPAPARS report and provided
a ninety-day comment period (88 FR
15055).

Discussion of Comments
Comments were submitted by
representatives of the maritime
community, wind energy developers, a
state government agency, and private
citizens.
Most comments were concerned with
the recommended shipping safety
fairways’ proximity to and impact on
potential offshore wind energy areas. To
address these concerns, the Coast Guard
has been working extensively with the
Bureau of Ocean Energy management
(BOEM) throughout the development of
the incoming Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (NPRM) proposing fairways

along the Atlantic Coast.1 The
forthcoming NPRM will outline the
adjustments that have been made to the
fairway dimensions and the work we
have done with BOEM to identify and
resolve any conflicts.
One commenter urged the Coast
Guard to consider underwater cables
when designing the fairways. We have
considered all known underwater cables
and their potential impacts on the
proposed fairways, TSS, and
precautionary areas. None were found to
restrict, endanger, or interfere with
navigation.
Another commenter asked us to
consider the impacts on the fairways on
the White House’s offshore wind
development goals. We do, and we
believe that these goals are best served
by the establishment of consistent and
well-defined fairways.
One commenter recommended that
the Coast Guard coordinate with the
Department of Defense to ensure that
the fairways would have no impact on
national security. We have and will
continue to do so throughout the
fairway establishment process.
One commenter requested that the
Coast Guard acknowledge that vessels in
the U.S. EEZ are permitted to navigate
through wind farms in contrast to
Europe, where vessels must avoid wind
energy areas wholesale. We
acknowledge this but believe that
protecting these wind energy areas from
the hazards associated with navigating
vessels is the best way to help The
White House achieve its renewable
energy goals.
One commenter believed that the
PARS methodology could be improved
using a more granular approach and
challenged the Coast Guard’s use of the
World Association for Waterborne
Transport Infrastructure (PIANC)
methodology. The USCG uses the
PIANC as a starting place to determine
widths for historic shipping routes.
Marine planners review and adjust the
widths based on input from
stakeholders, AIS data sets broken down
by ship type, and through collaboration
with other ocean users (e.g., renewable
energy lessees). The final fairway
widths are finalized based on this
collaboration among all parties to
ensure safe and equitable design of
fairways on the OCS.
This commenter also requested an
explanation for the variability in fairway
width. The fairways vary in width
because they have been intentionally
designed to accommodate OCS

development. The fairways have been
designed in coordination with BOEM
and the relevant stakeholders and the
variability is a result of this
coordination.
