Special Local Regulation; Wolf River Chute, Memphis, TN
Document Number: 2018-09908
Type: Rule
Date: 2018-05-09
Agency: Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security
The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary special local regulation for all navigable waters of the Wolf River Chute in the vicinity of the Mud Island River Park near Memphis, TN. This action is necessary to protect spectators and vessels during the Duncan William Dragon Boat Races regatta. Entry of vessels or persons into this regulated area is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Sector Lower Mississippi River (COTP) or a designated representative.
Ballast Water Management-Annual Reporting Requirement
Document Number: 2018-09877
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2018-05-09
Agency: Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security
The Coast Guard proposes to amend its regulations on ballast water management by eliminating the requirement for vessels operating on voyages exclusively between ports or places within a single Captain of the Port Zone to submit an Annual Ballast Water Summary Report for calendar year 2018. The Coast Guard views this current reporting requirement as unnecessary to analyze and understand ballast water management practices. This proposal would also serve to reduce the administrative burden on the regulated population of vessels which are equipped with ballast tanks.
