RIN 2120–AA66 

Amendment of V–25, V–27, V–494, 

V–108, V–301, and T–257 in the Vicinity 

of Santa Rosa, CA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: This action corrects a final 

rule published by the FAA in the 

Federal Register on June 4, 2021 that 

amends VHF Omnidirectional Range 

(VOR) Federal airways V–25, V–27, 

V–494, V–108, V–301, and United States 

Area Navigation route (RNAV) T–257 in 

the vicinity of Santa Rosa, CA. This 

action makes an editorial correction to 

include the Mendocino VOR, which was 

inadvertently deleted from the legal 

description for V–494. Amendments are 

due to the planned decommissioning of 

the Santa Rosa, CA VOR/Distance 

Measuring Equipment (DME) navigation 

aid (NAVAID) which provides 

navigation guidance for portions of the 

affected airways. The Santa Rosa VOR/ 

DME is being decommissioned as part of 

the FAA’s VOR Minimum Operational 

Network (MON) program. 

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, August 

12, 2021. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under 1 CFR part 51, 

subject to the annual revision of FAA 

Order 7400.11 and publication of 

conforming amendments. 

ADDRESSES: FAA Order 7400.11E,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking for Docket No. 

FAA–2020–0642 in the Federal Register 

(85 FR 47928; August 7, 2020) and a 

final rule (86 FR 29946; June 4, 2021), 

amending VOR Federal airways V–25, 

V–27, V–494, V–108, V–301, and RNAV 

route T–257 in the vicinity of Santa 

Rosa, CA, due to the planned 

decommissioning of the Santa Rosa, CA, 

VOR/DME NAVAID. Subsequent to the 

publication, it was determined that 

Mendocino, CA, VOR was missing from 

the legal description of V–494. This rule 

corrects that error by including 

Mendocino, CA, VOR in its appropriate 

place in the V–494 legal description. 

This is an editorial change only and 

does not alter the alignment of the route 

as shown on aeronautical charts, and 

does not affect the use of the route by 

aircraft. 

VOR Federal airways are published in 

paragraph 6010(a) of FAA Order 

7400.11E dated July 21, 2020, and 

effective September 15, 2020, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The VOR Federal airway listed in 

this document will be subsequently 

published in the Order. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.11E, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated July 21, 2020, 

and effective September 15, 2020. FAA 

Order 7400.11E is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11E lists 

Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, 

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points.

[Docket No. USCG–2021–0404] 

Cancellation of Obsolete Navigation 

and Inspection Circulars 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Announcement of decision. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard announces 

the cancellation of several obsolete 

Navigation and Vessel Inspection 

Circulars (NVIC). NVICs are guidance 

documents issued by the Coast Guard 

that do not have the force of law. 

However, NVICs ensure Coast Guard 

inspections and other regulatory actions 

conducted by field personnel are 

complete and consistent. Similarly, the 

marine industry and the general public 

rely on NVICs as a way to assess how 

the Coast Guard will enforce certain 

regulations or conduct various marine 

safety programs. Thus, it is important 

that the public is made aware when 

NVICs are cancelled so as to avoid 

confusion. 

DATES: July 15, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background and Purpose 

A Navigation and Vessel Inspection 

Circular (NVIC) provides detailed 

guidance about the enforcement or 

compliance with a certain Federal 

marine safety regulations and Coast 

Guard marine safety programs. While 

NVIC’s are non-directive, meaning that 

they do not have the force of law, they 

are important ‘‘tools’’ for complying 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 133 / Thursday, July 15, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 37239 

with the law. To best serve the public 

and maritime industry, the Coast Guard 

is reviewing and actively managing its 

inspections policy to ensure that all 

published NVICs are consistent with 

current practices. 

The Coast Guard is issuing this 

document under 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(1)(e). 

This document serves to inform the 

public about the cancellation and 

removal of certain obsolete and 

outdated Coast Guard NVICs. The Coast 

Guard wishes to reduce confusion to the 

public by removing NVICs that do not 

reflect current practices and that 

potentially conflict with more modern 

guidance. 

NVICs Being Repealed 

1. NVIC 09–83 provided guidance on 

the carriage of charts and publications. 

The regulations it references were 

amended in June 2001. Agencies 

mentioned in the NVIC no longer 

provide the services mentioned as 

charts have moved to digital formatting. 

Current policy can be found in the 

superseding NVIC 01–16. 

2. NVICs 02–97 and 02–97CH–1 

provided guidance on the 

implementation of operational measures 

for existing tank vessels without double 

hulls until 2015. The phase out ended 

on January 1, 2015. Since the phase out 

date of January 1, 2015 has passed the 

guidance no longer applies. Due to the 

obsolescence of the vessel classification 

this NVIC regulates, there is no longer 

a need for its publication. 

3. NVICs 10–94, 10–94CH–1, and 10– 

94CH–2 provided guidance for the OPA 

90 Phase-Out Schedule of single hull 

vessels carrying oil. The phase out 

ended on January 1, 2015. After January 

1, 2015 any vessel carrying oil must be 

double hulled, except for those 

exceptions under 46 U.S.C. 3703a 

(b)(1)–(5). The phase out was final in 

2015. Therefore, there are no more 

vessels operating lawfully which would 

need a determination for phase out. This 

eliminates the need for guidance in 

classifying them. 

4. NVIC 10–83 provides guidance on 

the procedures for the issuance of 

stability letters to small passenger 

vessels (SPV) of less than 65′. The Coast 

Guard organizations referenced no 

longer exist and the SPV stability 

regulations have been updated twice 

since the date of issuance. This NVIC is 

outdated and confusing to the public. 

The current regulatory requirements for 

a stability letter can be found in 46 CFR 

part 170. 

5. NVIC 00–13 provides guidance on 

the list of currently applicable NVICs as 

of January 1, 2013. This list is 

incomplete and outdated. The list of 

currently applicable NVICs has not been 

updated since January 1, 2013. The 

Coast Guard provides all NVICs on its 

outward facing website where each 

NVIC entry’s description indicates 

whether its currently applicable. 

6. NVIC 05–71 provides an index of 

46 CFR part 151 under subchapter O 

that concerns barges carrying bulk 

liquid hazardous material cargoes. The 

subchapter has been altered since the 

time of the NVIC’s release. The 

information in this NVIC is no longer 

accurate or current. The current outline 

of subchapter O on certain bulk 

dangerous cargoes can be found as part 

of the eCFR, provided at no cost online. 

7. NVIC 07–99 provides guidance 

regarding the Coast Guard’s policy on 

ensuring maritime safety during the year 

2000 (Y2K) date change. The year 2000 

has passed and this policy is no longer 

applicable. 

8. NVIC 13–92 provides guidance 

concerning the delineation of Captain of 

the Port (COTP) zone boundaries 

throughout the Exclusive Economic 

Zone (EEZ). NVIC 13–92 has out of date 

geographical limits to represent COTP 

zone boundaries and is obsolete. The 

current COTP boundaries are properly 

reflected in 33 CFR part 3.

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking 

§ Section 

U.S.C. United States Code 

II. Background Information and 

Regulatory History 

The Southern Maryland Boat Club of 

Leonardtown, MD, has notified the 

Coast Guard that it will be conducting 

the Southern Maryland Boat Club Wharf 

Summer Regatta from 9:30 a.m. to 4 

p.m. on July 31, 2021, and from 10:15 

a.m. to 4 p.m. on August 1, 2021. The 

high-speed boat event consists of 

approximately 50 participating vintage 

and historic race boats—including 

runabouts, v-bottoms, tunnel hulls, and 

hydroplanes—12 to 21 feet in length. 

The boats will be participating in an 

exhibition, operating in heats along a 

marked racetrack-type course 1 mile in 

length and 150 feet in width, located in 

Breton Bay and McIntosh Run at 

Leonardtown, MD. The Regatta is not a 

competition, but rather a demonstration 

of the vintage race craft. Hazards from 

the high-speed power boat 

demonstration event include 

participants operating within and 

adjacent to designated navigation 

channels and interfering with vessels 

intending to operate within those 

channels, as well as operating within 

approaches to local public boat 

landings. In response, on June 10, 2021, 

the Coast Guard published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) titled 

‘‘Special Local Regulation; Breton Bay, 

McIntosh Run, Leonardtown, MD’’ (86 

FR 30851). There we stated why we 

issued the NPRM, and invited 

comments on our proposed regulatory 

action related to this high-speed power
