Regulatory History
On August 1, 2006, the Coast Guard
published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) (71 FR 43402) to
establish permanent safety zones
throughout the Great Lakes, which
would restrict vessels from portions of
the Great Lakes during live fire gun
exercises that will be conducted by
Coast Guard cutters and small boats.
The initial comment period for this
NPRM ended on August 31, 2006. In
response to public requests, the Coast
Guard re-opened the comment period
on this NPRM. (71 FR 53629, September
12, 2006) Re-opening the comment
period from September 12, 2006 to
November 13, 2006, provides the public
more time to submit comments and
recommendations. On September 19,
2006, the Coast Guard published a brief
E:\FR\FM\27SEP1.SGM
27SEP1
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 187 / Wednesday, September 27, 2006 / Proposed Rules
document announcing the dates of
public meetings and indicating that
more detailed information related to the
meetings would be published at a later
date (71 FR 54792). This document
provides detailed information regarding
the actual location of the public
meetings and topics to be discussed.
rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with PROPOSAL
Background and Purpose
The thirty-four permanent safety
zones proposed in the NPRM will be
located throughout the Great Lakes in
order to accommodate the training
needs of 57 separate Coast Guard units.
The proposed safety zones are all
located more than three nautical miles
from the shoreline. Establishing
permanent training areas serves to
notify the public and solicit its input on
selection of the training locations.
The proposed safety zones will be
enforced only when training is
conducted, and then only after notice by
the Captain of the Port for the area in
which the exercise will be held. The
Captain of the Port will use all
appropriate means to effect the widest
publicity among the affected segments
of the public, including publication in
the Federal Register if practicable, in
accordance with 33 CFR 65.7(a). Such
means of notification may also include,
but are not limited to, Broadcast Notice
to Mariners or Local Notice to Mariners.
The appropriate Captain of the Port will
also issue a Broadcast Notice to
Mariners and Local Notice to Mariners
notifying the public when enforcement
of a live fire exercise safety zone is
suspended.
Interested individuals are encouraged
to attend the open house forums and
public meetings, provide comments and
ask questions about the weapons
training areas.
Meeting Times and Topics
The meetings are expected to run
from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. (local). We may
end the meetings early if there are no
additional comments or questions.
Topics to be covered during the public
meetings include the following:
(1) Introduction of the proposed zones
and the need to train on the Great Lakes;
(2) How the Coast Guard determined
the locations of the zones;
(3) Scheduling and frequency of
training in the zones;
(4) Notification procedures;
(5) Safety procedures;
(6) Weapons and munitions; and
(7) Environmental risk assessment
overview.
Before the start of the formal public
meetings, from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
(local), the Coast Guard is hosting an
open house so that the public can speak
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:43 Sep 26, 2006
Jkt 208001
with Coast Guard personnel and obtain
more information on the proposed
zones.
Procedure
Each open house and meeting is open
to the public. Ideally, comments will
provide specific information and facts
related to the impact of the zone(s) on
the commenter. Detailed and focused
comments will enable the Coast Guard
to address identified areas of concern in
the rulemaking process. Please note that
the meeting may close early if all
business is finished. If you are unable to
attend, you may submit comments to
the Docket Management Facility at the
address under ADDRESSES by November
13, 2006.
Information on Services for Individuals
With Disabilities

meetings and require special assistance,
such as sign language interpretation or
other reasonable accommodations,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In Title VIII of the Alaska National
Interest Lands Conservation Act
(ANILCA) (16 U.S.C. 3111–3126),
Congress found that ‘‘the situation in
Alaska is unique in that, in most cases,
no practical alternative means are
available to replace the food supplies
and other items gathered from fish and
wildlife which supply rural residents
dependent on subsistence uses * * * ’’
and that ‘‘continuation of the
opportunity for subsistence uses of
resources on public and other lands in
Alaska is threatened * * * ’’ As a result,
Title VIII requires, among other things,
that the Secretary of the Interior and the
Secretary of Agriculture (Secretaries)
implement a joint program to grant a
preference for subsistence uses of fish
and wildlife resources on public lands
in Alaska, unless the State of Alaska
enacts and implements laws of general
applicability that are consistent with
ANILCA and that provide for the
subsistence definition, preference, and
participation specified in Sections 803,
804, and 805 of ANILCA.
The State implemented a program that
the Department of the Interior
previously found to be consistent with
ANILCA. However, in December 1989,
the Alaska Supreme Court ruled in
McDowell v. State of Alaska that the
rural preference in the State subsistence
statute violated the Alaska Constitution.
The Court’s ruling in McDowell required
the State to delete the rural preference
from its subsistence statute and,
therefore, negated State compliance
with ANILCA. The Court stayed the
effect of the decision until July 1, 1990.
As a result of the McDowell decision,

Interested individuals are encouraged to attend the open house
forums and public meetings, provide comments and ask questions about
the weapons training areas.
Meeting Times and Topics
The meetings are expected to run from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. (local).
We may end the meetings early if there are no additional comments or

Before the start of the formal public meetings, from 4 p.m. to 5:30
p.m. (local), the Coast Guard is hosting an open house so that the
public can speak with Coast Guard personnel and obtain more information
on the proposed zones.
Procedure
Each open house and meeting is open to the public. Ideally,
comments will provide specific information and facts related to the
