# OMEGA RADIONAVIGATION SYSTEM TERMINATION:

The Coast Guard intends to terminate its involvement in the worldwide
Omega Radionavigation System on 30 September 1997. This will include
closure of the two stations located in the U.S. (Lamoure, North Dakota
and Haiku, Hawaii) and termination of the existing bilateral agreements
with the six partner nations (Argentina, Australia, France, Japan,
Liberia, and Norway). The Omega navigation system primarily serves
aviation and weather users. The Department of Transportation recently
completed its review of Omega navigation requirements and notified the
U.S. Coast Guard that most users will complete their conversion to
Global Positioning System technology by September 1997.

For further information contact Mr. Stuart Shoulta, Radio Aids Division
(G-OPN-3), U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters, 2100 Second Street SW,
Washington D.C. 20593-0001, or phone (202) 267-6052.

# TERMINATION OF TRANSIT NAVIGATION SYSTEM:

In accordance with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Master
Navigation Plan, the Navy Navigation Satellite System (Transit) will
cease operations December 31, 1996. Satellite navigation services are
now, and will continue to be avialable from the Global Positioning
System (GPS). Questions should be directed to the Naval Satellite
Operations Center (NAVSOC), in Point Magu, California at (805) 989-4221.

# DIFFERENTIAL GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM (DGPS):

1\. On 29 January 1996, the Coast Guard declared the CG DGPS service
operational for navigation and positioning. During this initial
operational capability (IOC) phase, users continue to be cautioned to
use all available navigational tools to ensure proper evaluation of
position solutions. Problems identified during the pre-operational phase
will be resolved. Full operational capability (FOC) of the DGPS service
is anticipated when all operational and support performance requirements
are met.

2\. Broadcast stations at Kokole Point, Kauai and Upolu Point, Hawaii
provide DGPS signals to the Hawaiian Islands. Kokole Point, Kauai
broadcasts on 300 KHZ at 200 bits per second and Upolu Point, Hawaii
broadcasts on 285 KHZ at 100 bits per second.

3\. For more information mariners may contact the NAVCEN WEST
watchstander at the Petaluma, CA Control Center at (707) 765-7612.

# DIFFERENTIAL GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM USER SAFETY ADVISORY:

The Coast Guard Navigation Information Service (NIS) recently received
reports of DGPS receivers apparently ignoring the broadcast alarm which
should signal the immediate discontinuation of a particular satellite
correction. In accordance with international and \[RTCM SC104\], the
USCG broadcast sets a satellite correction to the defined "DO-NOT-USE"
value of 10485.76 meters if broadcast integrity checks indicate there is
a problem with that satellites correction. Reports indicate some user
equipment does not properly recognize this "DO-NOT-USE" correction flag
and instead erroneously processes it as a correction. This can result in
position errors as large as 15,000 meters while the receiver is in DGPS
mode. Users should contact the manufacturer of their equipment
immediately to determine if they require a receiver upgrade.

For the current status of DGPS broadcast sites or additional information
contact the NIS watchstander at (703) 313-5900. The NIS computer
bulletin board may be accessed at (703) 313-5910 (300-14400 bps),
communication parameters are 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity.

# REQUIRED REPORTING OF DAMAGED U.S. AIDS TO NAVIGATION:

It frequently occurs that aids to navigation are collided with, causing
damage and displacement, or complete loss, without the knowledge of the
Coast Guard District Commander. The replacement or repair of such aids
is consequently often not made as promptly as desired. This situation
results in diminished protection for maritime traffic, and is
attributable in large part to the failure of vessel operators to furnish
notice of these collisions to the nearest local or district office of
the U.S. Coast Guard, or Coast Guard Headquarters, as required by law
and regulation. The prompt submission of notice of any marine casualty
or accident, including damage or destruction of aids to navigation, is
required by the Marine Investigation Regulations, Section 4.05-20 of
Title 46, Code of Federal Regulations, with penalty for noncompliance.

# HAWAIIAN ISLANDS - PRIVATE AIDS TO NAVIGATION:

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 discrepancy reports are 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 in the Fourteenth Coast Guard District, both
privately 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.

# WARNING ON THE USE OF FLOATING AIDS TO NAVIGATION:

Caution shall be used in reliance upon Aids to Navigation.

The aids to navigation depicted on charts compromise a system of fixed
and floating aids to navigation with varying degrees of reliability.
Therefore, prudent mariners will not rely solely on any single aid to
navigation. With respect to buoys, the buoy symbol is used to indicate
the approximate position of the buoy body and the sinker which secures
the buoy to the seabed. The approximate position is used because of the
practical limitations in positioning and maintaining buoys and their
sinkers in precise geographical locations. These limitations include,
but are not limited to, inherent imprecisions in position fixing
methods, prevailing atmospheric and sea conditions, the slope of the
material making up the seabed, the fact that buoys are moored to sinkers
by varying lengths of chain, and the fact that buoy body and/or sinker
positions are not under continuous surveillance but are normally checked
only during periodic maintenance visits which often occur more than a
year apart. Due to the forces of nature, the position of the buoy can be
expected to shift inside and outside the charted symbol. The mariner is
also cautioned that buoys may be extinguished due to mechanical failure,
collisions or other accidents. For the forgoing reasons, a prudent
mariner must not rely completely upon the position or operation of
floating aids to navigation, but will also utilize bearings from fixed
objects and aids to navigation on shore. Further, a vessel attempting to
pass close aboard always risks collision with a yawing buoy or with the
obstruction that the buoy marks.

# POLLUTION - OCEAN DUMPING:

The Marine Protection Research and Sanctuaries Act of 1972, as amended
(33 USC 1401 et seq.) regulates the dumping of all material, except fish
waste, into ocean waters. Radiological, chemical and biological warfare
agents and other high level radioactive wastes are expressly banned from
ocean disposal. The Army Corps of Engineers issues permits for the
disposal of dredged spoils; the Environmental Protection Agency is
authorized to issue permits for all other dumping activities.
Surveillance and enforcement to prevent unlawful transportation of
material for dumping or unlawful under the Act has been assigned to the
U.S. Coast Guard. The Act provides civil penalties of up to \$50,000 and
criminal penalties of up to \$50,000 and/or one year imprisonment.

A COMPLETE LISTING OF SPECIAL NOTICE TO MARINERS PARAGRAPHS IS PUBLISHED
IN THE DMA NOTICE TO MARINERS NO. 1 OF 1997.

HOW TO USE THE DISCREPANCIES AND TEMPORARY CHANGES SECTION OF YOUR LOCAL
NOTICE TO MARINERS:

When an aid appears in the Discrepancies section of your Local Notice to
Mariners, you are provided with very important information to help you
navigate safely to your destination. You are given the Light List number
to help you to help you better identify the aid, the aid name, the
status (or discrepancy) of the aid, the chart affected, the Broadcast
Notice to Mariners reference number and the Local Notice to Mariners
reference number. To properly use this information, you first need to
have the chart which is affected Find the location of the aid on the
chart, and in pencil, write the status of the aid and LNM reference
number legibly close to the aid. With the temporary changes section, the
same process is used, but if you use Chart Correction Cards (as all
military vessels should), you will put the LNM reference number on the
back on the card in pencil and the date the correction was made. With
both corrections, when the aid appears in the Discrepancies
Corrected/Temporary Changes Corrected section, all that is necessary is
to erase the penciled correction. By using this technique, your charts
will always be up to date, and your trips a little safer.

HAWAIIAN ISLANDS - ISLAND OF OAHU - PEARL HARBOR - Construction:

Construction continues on the Ford Island Bridge. The derrick barges,
SCANDIA and VASA, and work boats KIMBERLY and ROUGHNECK, along with 45'
x 180' supply barges will be working between the eastern tip of Ford
Island and the Pearl Harbor shoreline north of the ferry boat landing.
Concrete piles to support the bridge will be driven in the channel,
thereby restricting its width to 650 feet. The work boats and barges
will also be making trips to Whiskey 22 pier and the Victor piers for
material loading. Hours of operation will be 0700 to 1730 HST, Monday
thru Friday. The call signs are as follows: Scandia - WAO 5175, Vasa -
WSB 3570 and Kimberly - WAF 4546. VHF-Channel 69 will be monitored. The
aquatic portion of the project is scheduled to be completed by December

# HAWAIIAN ISLANDS - SUBMARINE CABLE LAYING OPERATIONS:

Submarine cable laying operations by AT&T Submarine Systems Inc. will
take place within the waters of the State of Hawaii between 3 January 97
and 5µFebruary 97, during the hours between sunrise and sunset. The
principle vessel used during the cable laying process will be called the
C/S Coastal Connector. The cable laying project has three phases of
work; cable landing, cable splicing, interisland cable laying. Cable
landing operations will take place in the near shore waters (within 2000
feet) of the following beaches:

Kauai Wailua Golf Course January 5, 1997

Oahu Kaena Point State Park January 12, 1997

Oahu Makaha Beach Park January 9-11, 1997

Oahu Sandy Beach Park February 1, 1997

Maui Mokapu Beach January 17-19, 1997

Lanai Manele Bay January 23, 1997

Molokai Kaunanaka January 28, 1997

Hawaii Spencer Beach Park January 16, 1997

Cable landing operations will include transferring cable marked with
orange floats by small boat to shore; the seaward end of the cable will
be marked by a yellow buoy showing a yellow flashing light until such
time as the cable is spliced and dropped to the ocean floor. In the
interest of safety maintain a minimum distance of 500 feet from the C/S
Coastal Connector and the submarine cable while being floated ashore.

For further information contact Chester T. Koga (808) 842-1133.

HAWAIIAN ISLANDS - KAULA ISLET - Fishing Schedule:

The surface danger zone surrounding the Islet of Kaula will be OPEN for
fishing from 1201 HST on Saturdays to 1159 HST on Sundays every week
unless otherwise advised. These waters are CLOSED to all unauthorized
persons at all other times. Diving is not permitted. This announcement
does not permit entry onto Kaula Islet.

HAWAIIAN ISLANDS - KAHO'OLAWE - Fishing Schedule:

The Kaho'olawe Island Reserve Commission has announced the following
status of the Kaho'olawe Island Zone B for January 1997. KAHO'OLAWE
surrounding waters will be OPEN for fishing by trolling only on
Saturday, January 04, 1997, 12:01 a.m. to Sunday January 05, 1997, 11:59
p.m. and Saturday, January 18, 1997, 12:01 a.m. to Sunday January 19,
1997, 11:59 p.m.. These waters are CLOSED to all unauthorized persons at
all other times. DIVING IS NOT PERMITTED. Fishermen and boaters are
reminded that unexploded ordnance in these waters are extremely
dangerous. Neither the U.S. Government nor the State of Hawaii will be
responsible for any damage to or loss of property, or personal injury or
death resulting from exploding ordnance in these areas. On May 7, 1994,
the U.S. Navy transferred ownership of the island of Kaho'olawe to the
State of Hawaii. The island, and the surrounding waters seaward for a
distance of two miles, are under the jurisdiction of the Kaho'olawe
Island Reserve Commission. By Hawaii Administrative Rules (13€260€1 to
13-260-5), the following are restricted zones: Zone A; Due to the
imminent threat to public health and safety posed by unexploded
ordnance, entry to the area from the 20 fathom isobath to the shoreline,
as well as the island itself, is prohibited. No one shall enter the
Reserve area at any time except as expressly permitted by the
Commission. Zone B; Entry into Zone B, from the boundary of the reserve
to the 20 fathom isobath is prohibited, except for fishing by trolling
which will be allowed for specific dates as noted above. All other
fishing and ocean recreational activities are strictly prohibited.
