Department of Homeland Security August 20, 2018 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Coast Guard will enforce a special local regulation for certain navigable waters of the Ohio River during the Wheeling Vintage Regatta on September 1, 2018 and September 2, 2018, to provide for the safety of persons, vessels, and the marine environment on the navigable waterways during this event. Our special local regulations for annual marine events in the Eighth Coast Guard District identify the regulated area for this event in Wheeling, WV. During the enforcement period, entry into this zone is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Marine Safety Unit Pittsburgh or a designated representative.

The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for all navigable waters of the Ohio River, extending the entire width of the river, from mile marker (MM) 0.0 to MM 0.5. This safety zone is necessary to protect persons, vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards associated with a fireworks display. Entry of persons or vessels into this zone is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Marine Safety Unit Pittsburgh or a designated representative.

This document corrects a proposed regulation in a notice of proposed rulemaking published in the Federal Register of August 2, 2018, regarding Modernized Drawback. Specifically, CBP inadvertently proposed in 19 CFR 190.32(d)(2) an exemption for drawback claims for wine which included an imprecise reference to the entirety of paragraph (b). The reference should have been only to paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(2), the specific paragraphs regarding the ``lesser of'' rule. As is evident from the entirety of the proposed rule, paragraph (b)(3), which implements the statutory prohibition on double drawback, applies to all drawback claims for wine. This technical correction remedies a clerical error that occurred when the language of paragraph (b)(3) was moved from a different part of the proposed regulations.
