Regulated Navigation Area; Mississippi River, Eighty-One Mile Point
Document Number: E7-6305
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2007-04-05
Agency: Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security
The Coast Guard proposes to revise the existing regulated navigation area (RNA) for the Lower Mississippi River (LMR) mile marker (MM) 233.9 through South and South West Passes by establishing mandatory check-in procedures for vessels transiting on the waters of the Mississippi River between (MM) 167.5 LMR and 187.9 LMR.
