REPORT DISCREPANCIES IN AIDS TO NAVIGATION TO THE NEAREST COAST GUARD
UNIT

I. SPECIAL NOTICES

PRIVATE AIDS

Owners of Private Aids to Navigation are reminded that they are
responsible for the proper operation and maintenance of their private
aids. When private aids

to navigation discrepency reports received from the Coast Guard the
owner should initiate immediate action to correct the discrepancy.
Mariners have a responsibility to report discrepant private aids to
navigation to the nearest Coast Guard unit. All aids to navigation on
the Great Lakes, both private and federally maintained, are user
monitored. The failure of a mariner to report a discrepant aid to
navigation may result in casualties to others. Upon notification of
discrepancies the Coast Guard issues a broadcast notice to mariners
which remains in effect until the discrepancy is corrected or listed in
the Local Notice to Mariners. \[09/96\]

LAKE ERIE - OH-MI - Detroit, MI to Cleveland, OH - Safety Zone - Chart
14820

Prior to the opening of the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, GA, the
Olympic Torch will be carried cross country by way of a relay. The relay
will begin in

Los Angeles, CA and terminate in Atlanta, GA. Part of the relay includes
an over-water leg from Detroit, MI to Cleveland, OH. For this leg, the
Olympic Torch

and Runner will be transported across Lake Erie onboard the Great Lakes
cargo vessel M/V AMERICAN REPUBLIC. The Torch Runner will arrive in
Detroit

Hart Plaza on the morning of June 9, 1996, where he will board the M/V
AMERICAN REPUBLIC for transit to Cleveland. The vessel is expected to
arrive

Cleveland City Dock the evening of June 9, 1996. The M/V AMERICAN
REPUBLIC will be taking the following route: From Detroit, the transit
will follow the

shipping channel down the Detroit River, then 095 degrees True across
northern Lake Erie (transiting north of Pelee Island) to Pelee Passage
Light, through

Pelee Passage, then 111 degrees True to Cleveland. A 200-yard moving
safety zone will be in place around the M/V AMERICAN REPUBLIC during its

entire voyage from Detroit to Cleveland. The U. S. Coast Guard Cutter
BRISTOL BAY will escort the M/V AMERICAN REPUBLIC throughout the voyage.

Other Coast Guard vessels (including Coast Guard Auxiliary) will join in
escorting the M/V AMERICAN REPUBLIC at various locatoions where vessel

congestion is expected to be heavy. The safety zone is being established
for the protection of the M/V AMERICAN REPUBLIC and all personnel
onboard, as

well as for the protection of vessels and personnel operating in the
vicinity of the vessel during its voyage. The M/V AMERICAN REPUBLIC is a
634 foot

vessel. Because of its size, it is restricted in its ability to
maneuver. Since the transit from Detroit to Cleveland will be taking
place on a Sunday, media and

public interest is expected to be high. Boating traffic on Lake Erie is
anticipated to be heavy, particularly in the areas close to the ports of
Detroit and

Cleveland. The safety zone is essential to ensure vessels and personnel
do not interfere with the safe transit of the vessel throughout its
voyage and to

protect the safety of spectator craft. However, the Captain of the Port
may reduce the size of the safety zone within the outer limits
prescribed in the regulation

whenever it appears to the Captain of the Port that this may be done so
with due regard for safety. \[10/96\]

VI\. PROPOSED CHANGES IN AIDS TO NAVIGATION

Periodically the Coast Guard evaluates the system of Aids to Navigation
to determine whether the conditions for which the aids to navigation

established have changed. When changes occur, the feasibility of
improving, relocating, replacing, or discontinuing the aid is
considered. In this regard

the Coast Guard is evaluating changes in aids to navigation as noted
below. Comments are requested, and should be addressed to LTJG Henige,
Ninth

Coast Guard District (oan). These changes will be moved to advanced
changes unless negitive comments are received. If negitive comments are
received, a

further ansalysis will be completed before a determination is made. All
comments submitted should include the following information: (A)
Quantity, type,

capacity and value of vessels involved, and the extent that these
vessels traverse the area under consideration seasonally, by day and by
night, (B) Where

practical, the type of navigation devices, such as compasses, radio
direction finder, radar, LORAN and search lights with which such vessels
are equipped,

\(C\) The number of passengers and the type, quantity, and value of
cargo involved, and (D) A chart section or sketch showing the action
proposed when

necessary to clearl describe the recommended improvement.

The following regulations apply to each annual marine event as published
in 33 CFR 100.901:

\(1\) The Coast Guard will patrol the regulated area under the direction
of a designated Coast Guard Patrol Commander. The Patrol Commander may

be contacted on Channel 16 (156.8 MHZ) by the call sign \"Coast Guard
Patrol Commander.\" Vessels desiring to transit the regulated area may
do so

only with prior approval of the Patrol Commander and when so directed by
that officer. Vessels will be operated at a no wake speed to reduce the

wake to a minimum, and in a manner which will not endanger participants
in the event or any other craft. The rules contained in the above two

sentences shall not apply to participants in the event or vessels of the
patrol operating in the performance of their assigned dueties.

\(2\) The Patrol Commander may direct the anchoring, mooring, or
movement of any boat or vessel within the regulated area. A succession
of sharp,

short signals by whistle or horn from vessels patrolling the area under
the direction of the U.S. Coast Guard Patrol Commander shall serve as a
signal

to stop. Vessels so signaled shall stop and shall comply with the orders
of the Patrol Commander. Failure to do so may result in expulsion from
the

area, citation for failure to comply, or both.

\(3\) The Patrol Commander may establish vessel size and speed
limitations and operating conditions.

\(4\) The Patrol Commander may restrict vessel operation within the
regulated area to vessels having particular operating characteristics.

\(5\) The Patrol Commander may terminate the marine event or the
operation of any vessel at any time it is deemed necessary for the
protection of life

and property.
