Port Access Route Study: Approaches 

to the Chesapeake Bay, Virginia 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of availability of draft 

report; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: On November 27, 2019 the 

Coast Guard published a notice of study 

and request for comments (84 FR 

65398), announcing a Port Access Route 

Study (PARS) for the Approaches to the 

Chesapeake Bay, Virginia. This notice 

announces the availability of a draft 

report for public review and comment. 

We seek your comments on the content, 

proposed routing measures, and 

development of the report. The 

recommendations of the study may lead

II. Background and Purpose 

The Ports and Waterways Safety Act 

(46 U.S.C. 70003(c)) requires the Coast 

Guard to conduct a PARS, i.e., a study 

of potential traffic density and the need 

for safe access routes for vessels. 

Through the study process, the Coast 

Guard coordinates with Federal, State, 

local, tribal and foreign state agencies 

(as appropriate) to consider the views of 

maritime community representatives, 

environmental groups, and other 

interested stakeholders. The primary 

purpose of this coordination is, to the 

extent practicable, to reconcile the need 

for safe access routes with other 

reasonable waterway uses such as 

construction and operation of renewable 

energy facilities and other uses of the 

Atlantic Ocean in the study area. 

In 2019, the Coast Guard announced 

a supplemental study of routes used by 

all vessels to access ports on the 

Atlantic Coast of the United States (84 

FR 9541, March 15, 2019). This notice 

announced PARS for specific port 

approaches and international transit 

areas along the Atlantic Coast. The 

purpose of the supplemental studies is 

to align the Atlantic Coast Port Access 

Route Study (ACPARS) (81 FR 13307, 

March 14, 2016) with port approaches. 

The ACPARS analyzed the Atlantic 

Coast waters seaward of existing port 

approaches within the U.S. Exclusive 

Economic Zone and was finalized in 

2017 (82 FR 16510, April 5, 2017). 

The purpose of this notice is to 

announce the draft PARS that examines 

the approaches to the Chesapeake Bay, 

VA, in conjunction with the 

implementation of recommendations of 

the ACPARS, and to solicit public 

comments. We encourage you to 

participate in the study process by 

submitting comments in response to this 

notice. This supplemental PARS used 

AIS data and information from 

stakeholders to identify and verify 

customary navigation routes as well as 

potential conflicts involving alternative 

activities, such as wind energy 

generation and offshore mineral 

exploitation and exploration in the 

approaches to the Chesapeake Bay, 

Virginia. 

On November 27, 2019, the Coast 

Guard published a Notice of Study; 

request for comments entitled ‘‘Port 

Access Route Study: Approaches to the 

Chesapeake Bay, Virginia’’ in the 

Federal Register (84 FR 65398). The 

public was afforded a 60-day comment 

period, and the option to request public 

meetings. The Coast Guard conducted 

outreach with port partners during this 

time. The comment period was closed 

on January 27, 2020. 

The study area extends approximately 

220 nautical miles seaward of the 

Chesapeake Bay, between Ocean City, 

MD, and Cape Hatteras, NC. An 

illustration showing the study area is 

available in the docket where indicated 

under ADDRESSES. Additionally, the 

study area is available for viewing on 

the Mid-Atlantic Ocean Data Portal at 

http://portal.midatlanticocean.org/ 

visualize/. See the ‘‘Maritime’’ portion 

of the Data Layers section. 

III. Discussion 

PARS are the means by which 

program managers determine the need 

to establish traffic routing measures or 

shipping safety fairways to reduce the 

risk of collision, allision and grounding, 

and their impact on the environment, 

increase the efficiency and 

predictability of vessel traffic, and 

preserve the paramount right of 

navigation while continuing to allow for 

other reasonable waterway uses. The 

study analyzes current routing measures 

around the approaches to Chesapeake 

Bay and proposes an adequate way to 

manage the forecasted maritime traffic 

growth, as well as the co-dependent use 

of the waters in support of future 

development. 

The Coast Guard received 11 

comments in response to our Federal 

Register notice and other outreach 

efforts. All comments and supporting 

documents are available in a public 

docket and can be viewed at http://

www.regulations.gov. In the ‘‘Search’’ 

box insert ‘‘USCG–2019–0862’’ and

commercial maritime operators and 

state and port partners. Topics covered 

by these comments included support 

and requests for additional routing 

measures around WEAs, requests for 

collaboration with state organizations, 

and requests for NEPA compliance and 

Environmental Impact Studies to be 

completed. A synopsis of the comments 

and copies of the Coast Guard’s Public 

outreach can be found in the report. 

As a result of the data analysis within 

this study and considering the 

comments received the Coast Guard 

proposes five measures for 

consideration by the public. Any 

comments received will be reviewed 

and considered before a final version of 

the Approaches to Chesapeake Bay 

PARS is announced in the Federal 

Register. This notice is published under 

the authority of 46 U.S.C. 70004 and 5 

U.S.C. 552(a).
