Anchorage Regulations; Port of New York
By this direct final rule, the Coast Guard is revising the southern boundary of Anchorage Ground No. 20-F in Upper New York Bay. This action is necessary so that the Anchorage Ground does not extend into the Port Jersey Federal Channel that is being expanded as part of the Port of New York/New Jersey Harbor Deepening Project. This action is intended to increase the safety of life and property for the Port of New York/New Jersey, improve the safety of anchored vessels, and provide for the overall safe and efficient flow of commercial vessels and commerce.
Safety Zones: Summer 2009 Fireworks, Coastal Massachusetts
The Coast Guard is suspending several special local regulations and establishing temporary safety zones in various communities along the central and northern coastline of Massachusetts.

Regulated Navigation Area; Herbert C. Bonner Bridge, Oregon Inlet, NC

Consumer Price Index Adjustments of Oil Pollution Act of 1990 Limits of Liability-Vessels and Deepwater Ports
The Coast Guard is increasing the limits of liability under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90), for vessels and deepwater ports subject to the Deepwater Port Act of 1974, to reflect significant increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). This interim rule also establishes the methodology the Coast Guard uses to adjust OPA 90 limits of liability for inflation, including the frequency with which such adjustments may be made. The inflation adjustments to the limits of liability are required by OPA 90 to preserve the deterrent effect and polluter-pays principle embodied in the OPA 90 liability provisions. Lastly, this interim rule makes minor amendments to clarify the applicability of the OPA 90 single-hull tank vessel limits of liability. Because the single-hull tank vessel amendments were not previously discussed in the notice of proposed rulemaking (hereafter the CPI NPRM), the Coast Guard is inviting additional public comment on this issue.
