Rates for Pilotage on the Great Lakes 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Interim rule with request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is updating 

the rates for pilotage service on the 

Great Lakes for the 2007 navigation 

season. This increases pilotage rates an 

average of 22.62% across all three 

pilotage districts over the last 

ratemaking that was completed in April 

of 2006. Annual reviews of pilotage 

rates are required by law to ensure that 

sufficient revenues are generated to 

cover the annual projected allowable 

expenses, target pilot compensation, 

and returns on investment of the pilot 

associations. The Coast Guard requests 

public comment on its calculation of 

these rate increases. 

DATES: This interim rule is effective 

March 26, 2007. Comments and related 

material must reach the Docket 

Management Facility on or before April 

24, 2007.
