Regulated Navigation Areas; Harbor Entrances Along the Coast of Northern California
The Coast Guard is establishing Regulated Navigation Areas (RNAs) at the harbor bar entrances to Crescent City Harbor, Humboldt Bay, Noyo River, and Morro Bay. This regulation creates additional safety requirements for recreational and small commercial vessels operating in these areas during periods of hazardous conditions, such as high wind or breaking surf, and establishes clear procedures for restricting and closing these harbor bar entrances in the event of unsafe conditions. This regulation is necessary to enhance mariner and vessel safety when bar conditions exceed certain parameters, typically when breaking seas are projected to be 20-foot or greater. This rulemaking prohibits vessels from entering these areas during unsafe conditions unless authorized by the local Captain of the Port or a designated representative.
Energy Conservation Program: Data Collection and Comparison With Forecasted Unit Sales of Five Lamp Types
The U.S. Department of Energy (``DOE'') is informing the public of its collection of shipment data and creation of spreadsheet models to provide comparisons between 2019 unit sales and benchmark estimate unit sales of five lamp types (i.e., rough service lamps, vibration service lamps, 3-way incandescent lamps, 2,601-3,300 lumen general service incandescent lamps, and shatter-resistant lamps). For 3-way incandescent lamps, 2,601-3,300 lumen general service incandescent lamps, and shatter-resistant lamps, the 2019 sales are not greater than 200 percent of the forecasted estimates. The 2019 unit sales for vibration service lamps are greater than the benchmark unit sales estimate but less than 200 percent of the benchmark unit sales estimate. The 2019 unit sales for rough service lamps are below the benchmark unit sales estimate. DOE has prepared, and is making available on its website, a spreadsheet showing the comparisons of projected sales versus 2019 sales, as well as the model used to generate the original sales estimates. The spreadsheet is available online at: https://www1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/appliance_standards/ standards.aspx?productid=16.
