BILLING CODE 3710-08-U DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Coast Guard 33 CFR 165 [COTP Southeast Alaska 00-017] RIN 2115-AA97 Safety Zone; Tongass Narrows, Ketchikan, AK; correction AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT. ACTION: Correcting amendments. SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to the final regulations which were published in the **Federal Register** , June 21, 1994, (59 FR 31933). The regulations related to the movement of vessels in Tongass Narrows, Ketchikan, AK during the annual fireworks display.

That document contained a latitude/longitude position and a required safety fallout radius from the barge conducting fireworks display that has changed; thus, a correction is necessary. DATES: Effective on December 26, 2000. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lieutenant Cecil McNutt, United States Coast Guard Marine Safety Office Juneau,

(907)463-2470. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background In final rule 59 FR 31933, the latitude/longitude position and safety fallout radius around the barge conducting fireworks display are no longer correct because the marine event sponsor has increased the fireworks display shell size (12 inches) and amount of fireworks display (600 lbs Division 1.3G UN 0335), causing an increase in the required safety fallout radius of 300 yards around the barge conducting fireworks display activities and changing the latitude/longitude position. Need for Correction As published, the final regulations contain errors which may prove to be dangerous to the public and need to be amended. Accordingly, 33 CFR Part 165 is corrected by making the following correcting amendments: PART 165—REGULATED NAVIGATION AREAS AND LIMITED ACCESS AREAS 1. The authority citation for part 165 continues to read as follows: Authority: 33 U.S.C. 1231; 50 U.S.C. 191, 33 CFR 1.05-1(g), 6.04-1, 6.04-6, 160.5; 49 CFR 1.46. § 165.1708 [Amended] 2. In § 165.1708 paragraph (a), delete the word “100” and add the word “300” in its place, respectively. 3. In § 165.1708 paragraph

(a)location, delete the words “55°20′20″ N, 131°39′36″ W” and add the words “55°20′32″ N, 131°′39′40″ W” in its place, respectively. Dated: December 5, 2000. Robert Lorigan, Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port, Southeast Alaska. [FR Doc. 00-32825 Filed 12-22-00; 8:45 am]
