Coast Guard June 1, 2017 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Coast Guard seeks input from tribal officials, tribal governments, tribal organizations, and tribal members on a notice of proposed rulemaking entitled ``Anchorages; Captain of the Port Puget Sound Zone, WA'' that was published in the Federal Register on February 10, 2017. As stated in that document, this rulemaking proposes the creation of several new anchorages, holding areas, and a non-anchorage area as well as the expansion of one existing general anchorage in the Puget Sound area. The Coast Guard encourages all interested tribes to R.S.V.P. to the formal consultation to be held on July 13, 2017, and provide information on which treaty rights are impacted and how the Coast Guard should consider these rights in its rulemaking analysis.
