Committee Oversight and Management
Staff (ACOMS), within FDA’s Office of

amendments also change the address

appropriate changes to § 14.84(c).
Publication of this document

Regulatory Information
[Docket No. USCG–2009–0143 (Formerly
Docket Nos. D01–05–094 and Docket No.
USCG–01–06–052)]
On November 21, 2005, the Coast
Guard issued a Federal Register notice
and request for comments at 70 FR
70052, under the heading ‘‘Navigation
and Waterways Management
Improvements, Providence River
Regulated Navigation Area, Narragansett
Bay, Rhode Island and Mt. Hope Bay,
MA.’’ The notice was prompted
primarily by two events: (1) The U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) was
nearing completion of a major
maintenance dredging project in the
Providence River, and (2) enactment of
Public Law 109–59, the Safe,
Accountable, Flexible, Efficient
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for
Users (SAFETEA–LU) signed on August
10, 2005 by President Bush. Section
1948 of SAFETEA–LU resulted in
retention of the old Brightman Street
Bridge across the Taunton River
between Somerset and Fall River, MA.
The proximity of the old and new
Brightman Street bridges to each other,
which will both remain in place as a
result of SAFETEA–LU, prompted
formal adoption of the navigation safety
measures that are currently practiced
either voluntarily or through Captain of
the Port (COTP) orders to particular
commercial vessels.

AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: This rule modifies provisions
contained in the existing Regulated
Navigation Area (RNA) that were
originally implemented to address
severe shoaling in the Providence River.
Based on recommendations made in
several public comments responding to
the notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM), this rule includes additional
navigation safety measures for vessels
transiting Narragansett Bay, namely a
requirement to make periodic Safety
Signal (SECURITE) calls at certain
points along the transit, and a
requirement to maintain a minimum
underkeel clearance to prevent
groundings. Based on recommendations
made in several other comments, some
measures proposed in the NPRM for the
Taunton River and Mount Hope Bay in
