Background and purpose: As we stated in the original notice and request for public comments (69 FR 63979, Nov. 3, 2004), the City of Fall River, Massachusetts, has petitioned the Coast Guard to promulgate regulations establishing thermal and vapor dispersion exclusion zone requirements for liquefied natural gas (LNG) spills on water. The City asks that these regulations be similar to Department of Transportation regulations for LNG spills on land, contained in 49 CFR 193.2057 and 193.2059. In our original notice, we provided a public comment period that ended February 1, 2005. At the end of that comment period, we received a letter from the Attorney General of Rhode Island that read in part: ‘‘I wish to emphasize that my office is waiting for the completion of a Threat Analysis. I am formally requesting that the public comment period in this docket remain open for an additional sixty (60) days to allow for consideration of [that] report.’’ In light of this request, the Coast Guard is providing an additional sixty-day comment period. The public is invited to review the material contained in the docket and submit relevant comments. The Coast Guard will consider the City’s petition, any comments received from the public, and other information to determine whether or not to initiate the requested rulemaking. Dated: March 2, 2005. Howard L. Hime, Acting Director of Standards, Marine Safety, Security, and Environmental Protection, U.S. Coast Guard.
