Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 202 / Friday, October 22, 2021 / Notices
On June 16, 2021, we published a
Notice of Availability of the draft study
in the Federal Register (86 FR 32052)
with a 30-day public comment period
with a request for public comment.
During the 30-day public comment
period, the USCG received eleven
comments in response to our draft
study, as well as other outreach
identified in Section G of the study.
All comments and supporting
documents are available in the public
docket and can be viewed at https://
www.regulations.gov. To view
documents, in the ‘‘Search’’ box insert
‘‘USCG–2019–0862’’ and click
‘‘Search.’’ Then select ‘‘Supporting &
Related Material’’ in the Document Type
column.
Comments have been addressed and
summarized in section III.
The goal of the study is to enhance
navigational safety in the study area by
examining existing shipping routes and
waterway uses. We have undertaken
measures to (1) determine what, if any,
navigational safety concerns exist with
vessel transits in the study area; (2)
determine whether to recommend
changes to enhance navigational safety
by examining existing shipping routes
and all other waterway uses; and (3)
reconcile any other proposed changes
with other reasonable waterway uses.

III. Study Recommendations
The recommendations of this PARS
are based on the data analysis for
historical vessel traffic patterns,
comments received to the docket, public
outreach, and consultation with other
government agencies and stakeholders.
Recommendations in the draft study
include:
1. An expansion of the precautionary
area between the two Traffic Separation
Schemes to preserve a naturally
occurring deep draft slough for future
increases in vessel size.
2. Modifications to shipping safety
fairways as proposed in the Atlantic
Coast Shipping Safety Fairways
rulemaking, to include:
a. Re-orienting the ‘‘Chesapeake Bay
to Delaware Bay’’ connector fairway to
allow space for an offshore anchorage in
the approach to the Delaware Bay.
b. Re-orienting the ‘‘Cape Charles to
Montauk Point’’ fairway to route closer
to the DELMARVA peninsula.
c. Add one connector fairway from
the offshore ‘‘St. Lucie to New York’’
fairway and the Chesapeake Bay TSS,
south of the Commercial Virginia
Offshore Wind project area, to facilitate
safe transit of commercial international
vessels around future offshore energy
installations.

The final study considered several
comments from port and industry
stakeholders regarding larger vessels
calling on the Port of Virginia in the
future, suggesting an additional fairway
connector from the Atlantic Coast PARS
would be required. These comments
were well supported and resulted in
changes to the final recommendations.
IV. Summary of Changes
Section E was modified to address
comments on fishing activity within the
study area and now contains
calculations for recommended safe
transit widths based on fishing vessel
transit data. Section F changes resulted
from public comments requesting
addition of a connector fairway north of
the Commercial Virginia Offshore Wind
lease area. The comments supported the
need to preserve a deep draft route to
support and promote navigation safety
of larger vessels expected to call more
frequently on the Port of Virginia in the
future. All changes to the final study are
indicated by italicized type.
V. Future Actions
The USCG will continue to serve as a
NEPA cooperating agency to BOEM’s
environmental review of any proposed
project. In that role, the USCG will
evaluate the navigational safety risks of
each proposal on a case-by-case basis.
The final study will be submitted to
the Office of Navigation Systems (CG–
NAV–2) for consideration and possible
inclusion as part of a future Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking for Shipping
Safety Fairways along the Atlantic
Coast.
The final study is available for
viewing and download from the Federal
Register docket at https://
www.regulations.gov or the USCG
