Score, Superintendent, Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, 33 East Quay Road, Key West, FL 33040. AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Treasury. ACTION: Correction to notice of proposed rulemaking. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Need for Correction In the preamble of the proposed rule, NOAA incorrectly stated that the U.S. Coast Guard regulation Rule 27e specified a minimum distance of 100 yards between vessels and ‘‘divers down’’ flags. In fact, only the applicable Florida Statute specifies the 100-yard minimum distance requirement (Section 327.331 FS). In order to be consistent with the regulations issued by the State of Florida and consistent in both state and federal waters of the sanctuary, NOAA proposes to change our regulations from ‘‘100 feet’’ in 922.163 (a)(5)(iii)(C) to ‘‘100 yards.’’ Requiring a uniform minimum distance in both state and federal waters simplifies the sanctuary regulations, and therefore improves compliance for sanctuary users and enforcement of a single regulation. The regulation allows both diving and vessel operations to occur in relatively the same area without conflict. A consistent regulation also allows for better public education programs. NOAA is preparing an environmental assessment pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act to analyze the impacts associated with this modification to the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary regulations. Request for Comments dwashington3 on PROD1PC60 with PROPOSALS NOAA reopens the public comment period on the proposed rule to make technical corrections and amendments to the FKNMS regulations.
