Department of Homeland Security September 12, 2023 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is revising the notice published in the Federal Register on August 30, 2023, which announced that the next meeting of the Commercial Customs Operations Advisory Committee (COAC) will be held on Wednesday, September 20, 2023. This notice revises the August 30, 2023 notice to reflect the addition of a new working group to the Secure Trade Lanes Subcommittee which will provide proposed recommendations for COAC's consideration at the September 20, 2023 COAC Public Meeting. As a result, CBP is republishing the August 30, 2023 notice, with amendments reflecting the addition of the De Minimis Working Group. The meeting will be open to the public via webinar only. There is no on-site, in-person option for the public to attend this quarterly meeting.

The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for navigable waters of the Savannah River during the Air National Guard F- 22A Raptor aircraft demonstration event. The safety zone is necessary to ensure the safety of persons, vessels, and the marine environment during the event. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port Savannah or a designated representative.

The Coast Guard is extending the comment period for the supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking, ``Marine Casualty Reporting on the Outer Continental Shelf,'' published June 14, 2023, that seeks comments on proposed changes to reporting criteria for certain casualties on the outer continental shelf (OCS) and a proposed increase to property damage dollar threshold that triggers a casualty report for fixed facilities on the OCS. We are extending the comment period an additional 60 days to allow the public more time to comment. The comment period is now open through November 13, 2023.
