Federal Register / Vol. 91, No. 151 / Friday, August 7, 2026 / Notices
The Coast Guard Heartland District
analyzed all available sources of data
relevant to this process, including
existing and potential traffic patterns,
existing regulations, public
submissions, and other factors.
As detailed in the final report, the
United States Coast Guard Heartland
District determined that safety fairways
within the study area are adequate;
however, the safety fairways cannot be
widened as recommended due to
established infrastructure within the
Gulf of America. The PARS report does
recommend implementing several new
fairway anchorages to provide vessels a
safe waiting area as they await clearance
into port.
The United States Coast Guard
Heartland District provided
recommendations for the siting and
layout of potential offshore mineral and
non-mineral energy areas within the
study area. It will continue to serve as
a cooperating agency to BOEM’s
environmental review of each proposed
project. In that role, the United States
Coast Guard will evaluate the
navigational safety risk of each proposal
on a case-by-case basis.
This notice is published under the
authority of 46 U.S.C. 70003 and 70004
and 5 U.S.C. 552(a).
W.E. Watson,
Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Commander,
Heartland District.
