Background and Purpose 

On April 5, 2017, the Coast Guard 

announced the completion of the 

Atlantic Coast Port Access Route Study 

in the Federal Register (82 FR 16510), 

which is available for viewing and 

download from the Coast Guard 

Navigation Center’s website at https://

www.navcen.uscg.gov/port-access-routestudies. 

The ACPARS identified navigation 

safety corridors along the Atlantic Coast 

based on the predominant two-way 

vessel traffic and customary routes 

confirmed with AIS data for offshore 

deep draft and coastal seagoing tug/tow 

vessels. The study recommended using 

these corridor locations to establish 

shipping safety fairways or other 

appropriate vessel routing measures. 

Recognizing the ACPARS only 

analyzed coastal, longshore, and 

predominantly north/south vessel 

transit routes along the Atlantic Coast, 

the Coast Guard announced new studies 

focused on port approaches and 

international entry and departure areas 

along the Atlantic Coast to supplement 

the ACPARS on March 15, 2019 (84 FR 

9541). On September 9, 2022, the Coast 

Guard announced the availability of the 

Consolidated Port Approaches and 

International Entry and Departure 

Transit Areas Port Access Route 

Studies, (CPAPARS) (87 FR 55449). The 

CPAPARS summarizes the findings of 

four regional port access route studies: 

the Northern New York Bight; Seacoast 

of New Jersey Including Offshore 

Approaches to the Delaware Bay, 

Delaware; Approaches to the 

Chesapeake Bay, Virginia; and the 

Seacoast of North Carolina; as well as 

ongoing dialogue with the maritime 

industry. 

To provide continued engagement 

with stakeholders, the Coast Guard 

announced the availability of an 

updated CPAPARS report and provided 

a ninety-day comment period (88 FR 

15055). 

Discussion of Comments 

Comments were submitted by 

representatives of the maritime 

community, wind energy developers, a 

state government agency, and private 

citizens. 

Most comments were concerned with 

the recommended shipping safety 

fairways’ proximity to and impact on 

potential offshore wind energy areas. To 

address these concerns, the Coast Guard 

has been working extensively with the 

Bureau of Ocean Energy management 

(BOEM) throughout the development of 

the incoming Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (NPRM) proposing fairways 

along the Atlantic Coast.1 The 

forthcoming NPRM will outline the 

adjustments that have been made to the 

fairway dimensions and the work we 

have done with BOEM to identify and 

resolve any conflicts. 

One commenter urged the Coast 

Guard to consider underwater cables 

when designing the fairways. We have 

considered all known underwater cables 

and their potential impacts on the 

proposed fairways, TSS, and 

precautionary areas. None were found to 

restrict, endanger, or interfere with 

navigation. 

Another commenter asked us to 

consider the impacts on the fairways on 

the White House’s offshore wind 

development goals. We do, and we 

believe that these goals are best served 

by the establishment of consistent and 

well-defined fairways. 

One commenter recommended that 

the Coast Guard coordinate with the 

Department of Defense to ensure that 

the fairways would have no impact on 

national security. We have and will 

continue to do so throughout the 

fairway establishment process. 

One commenter requested that the 

Coast Guard acknowledge that vessels in 

the U.S. EEZ are permitted to navigate 

through wind farms in contrast to 

Europe, where vessels must avoid wind 

energy areas wholesale. We 

acknowledge this but believe that 

protecting these wind energy areas from 

the hazards associated with navigating 

vessels is the best way to help The 

White House achieve its renewable 

energy goals. 

One commenter believed that the 

PARS methodology could be improved 

using a more granular approach and 

challenged the Coast Guard’s use of the 

World Association for Waterborne 

Transport Infrastructure (PIANC) 

methodology. The USCG uses the 

PIANC as a starting place to determine 

widths for historic shipping routes. 

Marine planners review and adjust the 

widths based on input from 

stakeholders, AIS data sets broken down 

by ship type, and through collaboration 

with other ocean users (e.g., renewable 

energy lessees). The final fairway 

widths are finalized based on this 

collaboration among all parties to 

ensure safe and equitable design of 

fairways on the OCS. 

This commenter also requested an 

explanation for the variability in fairway 

width. The fairways vary in width 

because they have been intentionally 

designed to accommodate OCS 

development. The fairways have been 

designed in coordination with BOEM 

and the relevant stakeholders and the 

variability is a result of this 

coordination. 

This notice is being issued under 

authority located in 5 U.S.C. 552(a) as 

well as 46 U.S.C. 70003.
