Intracoastal Waterway Route ‘‘Magenta
Line’’ on NOAA Nautical Charts
National Ocean Service,
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration. (NOAA), Department of
Commerce.
ACTION: Request for comments.
AGENCY:
Since 1912, a series of
nautical charts of the Intracoastal
Waterways, produced by the U.S. Coast
and Geodetic Survey and, subsequently,
NOAA, have depicted an Intracoastal
Waterway Route, a ‘‘recommended
route’’ known to recreational boaters
and commercial mariners as ‘‘the
magenta line.’’ Coast Survey originally
added the line to the charts to show the
best route through the Intracoastal
Waterway but it has not been
consistently maintained since its last
comprehensive update in 1936. Aware
of safety concerns, NOAA’s Office of
Coast Survey is removing the
‘‘recommended route’’ from NOAA
nautical charts. We are also issuing a
Local Notice to Mariners, advising
caution in using the line in charts where
it has not been removed. The Office of
Coast Survey invites written comments
about whether NOAA nautical charts
should depict a recommended route
through the Intracoastal Waterways.
DATES: Written, faxed, or emailed
comments are due by midnight,
December 26, 2013.
ADDRESSES: Email comments to
CoastSurveyCommunications@
noaa.gov, or fax to 301–713–4019.
Written comments may be mailed to
Lt.j.g. Leslie Flowers, Office of Coast
Survey, 1315 East-West Highway,
#6312, Silver Spring MD 20906.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
1. Background
The first known appearance of what is
commonly referred to as the ‘‘magenta
line’’ is in a set of eight charts (each
titled ‘‘U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey
INSIDE ROUTE’’) included in a nowdefunct U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey
publication, Inside Route Pilot, 1st
edition 1912. (As a sample, the chart
edition from 1913 is in the NOAA
Historical Maps & Charts Collection:
https://historicalcharts.noaa.gov/
historicals/preview/image/4DNo3–13.)

The U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey
published seven editions through 1935,
when their depiction of the Intracoastal
Waterway Route underwent a major
update. As the agency pointed out in
their 1935 annual report, ‘‘the existing
[pre-1935] charts of this system of
waterways have been based principally
on surveys made from 60 to 80 years ago
and, necessarily, are obsolete in many
respects.’’ The U.S. Coast and Geodetic
Survey received substantially more
appropriations from the Public Works
Administration in 1935, which allowed
the agency to update the Intracoastal
Waterways Route on nautical charts.
‘‘[W]hile the entire area has not been
surveyed, by concentrating on the
through route and its most important
tributaries, sufficient field surveys have
been made so the charts of the entire
route can be produced,’’ the agency
director reported.
At some point, the Inside Route Pilot
was discontinued (the latest edition in
the NOAA Central Library is from 1936)
and USC&GS changed its charting
system. Beginning in 1936, the ‘‘Inside
Route’’ series of charts were absorbed
into the Intracoastal Waterway nautical
charts.
From 1936 to the present, the
Intracoastal Waterway Route has
remained on Intracoastal Waterway
charts, largely without changes or
updates.
See more information on the history
of the Intracoastal Waterway Route at
https://www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/
IntracoastalWaterwayRoute.
2. Current Status of the Intracoastal
Waterway Route on Nautical Charts
Numerous examples can be found
where the charted Intracoastal
Waterway Route (‘‘magenta line’’)
passes on the wrong side of aids to
navigation; crosses shoals, obstructions,
shoreline; and falls outside of dredged
channels, etc. Coast Survey is taking
several actions to address the problems.
First, Coast Survey is systematically
removing the Intracoastal Waterway
Route ‘‘magenta line’’ from new editions
of affected nautical charts.
Second, Coast Survey is preparing
chart notes for dozens of charts that are
updated but not issued as new editions,
and where the magenta line will not be
deleted. Coast Survey will revise the
chart notes and publish the revised
notes in the Local Notice to Mariners.
The LNMs will warn: ‘‘The general
location of the Waterway is indicated by
a magenta line. Mariners are advised to
follow the aids to navigation and avoid
charted shoals and obstructions.’’
Third, Coast Survey is updating the
position of the magenta line on current
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
59339
charts (not scheduled for new editions)
when authoritative reports or
information indicate proper repositioning.
Fourth, Coast Survey is considering
the options for future charts: should
NOAA continue to depict the ‘‘magenta
line,’’ and what should the ‘‘magenta
line’’ designate?
3. Public Comments
The director of NOAA’s Office of
Coast Survey invites interested parties
to submit comments to assist Coast
Survey as it decides whether to
maintain a new or updated magenta line
depicting an Intracoastal Waterway
Route on Intracoastal Waterway nautical
charts. Comments may address whether
recreational or commercial mariners
need a magenta line depicting a
specified Intracoastal Waterway Route,
and whether that should be a federal
government charting responsibility.
Additionally, the director specifically
seeks comments regarding:
1. How do you currently access the
magenta line? On paper nautical charts,
raster navigational charts, electronic
navigational charts, commercial paper
chart books, commercial charts, or
other?
2. How do you use the ‘‘magenta
line’’? Do you consider it to be a general
route, a specific trackline, or a reference
line?
3. Given limited government
resources, what are your ideas for how
NOAA should develop and maintain a
reinstated magenta line?
4. How do you use the Intracoastal
Waterway? Recreationally or
commercially? Locally or long distance?
5. What are your boat’s length and
draft?
Authority: 33 U.S.C. Chapter 17, Coast and
Geodetic Survey Act of 1947.
