BILLING CODE 9110-04-P DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers 33 CFR Part 334 Buzzards Bay and Adjacent Waters, Mass.; Danger Zones for Naval Operations; Corrections AGENCY: U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, DoD. ACTION: Correcting amendments. SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers published a document in the **Federal Register** on April 10, 1997 (62 FR 17550) amending its regulations to modify an existing danger zone in the waters of Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts.
That document inadvertently did not include the proposed rule text that would prohibit entry into a portion of the danger zone. This document corrects the final rule by incorporating the intended prohibition of entry by persons or vessels into the designated area of the danger zone into § 334.70(a)(2). DATES: *Effective date:* August 18, 2014. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. David Olson, Headquarters, Operations and Regulatory Community of Practice, Washington, DC at 202-761-4922 or by email at *david.b.olson@usace.army.mil.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers published a final rule in the **Federal Register** on April 10, 1997 (62 FR 17550), and later determined that correcting amendments need to be made to address the intended prohibited entry by vessels or persons into a portion of an established danger zone. The proposed rule was published in the **Federal Register** on December 20, 1996 (61 FR 67265) and it prohibited entry of vessels or persons into a portion of the danger zone to help ensure public safety during naval operations in this area.
