TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY 

Management of Floating Cabins 

AGENCY: Tennessee Valley Authority. 

ACTION: Issuance of record of decision. 

SUMMARY: The Tennessee Valley 

Authority (TVA) has adopted a policy to 

prohibit the mooring of new floating 

cabins on its reservoirs and allow 

floating cabins that meet minimum 

standards, consistent with Section 9b of 

the TVA Act and Alternative B1 in the 

Floating Houses Policy Review Final 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

issued in February 2016. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

David B. Harrell, Tennessee Valley 

Authority, 400 W Summit Hill Drive 

WT 11D–K, Knoxville, Tennessee 

37902. Telephone: 865–632–1327. 

Email: dbharrell@tva.gov or fc@tva.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice is provided in accordance with 

the Council on Environmental Quality’s 

regulations (40 CFR 1505.2) and TVA 

procedures for implementing the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA). 

TVA is a multi-purpose federal 

agency that has been charged by 

Congress with promoting the wise use 

and conservation of the resources of the 

Tennessee Valley region, including the 

Tennessee River System. In carrying out 

this mission, TVA operates a system of 

dams and reservoirs on the Tennessee 

River and its tributaries for the purposes 

of navigation, flood control, and power 

production. Consistent with its mission, 

TVA also uses the system to improve 

water quality and water supply and to 

provide a wide range of public benefits, 

including recreation and natural 

resource stewardship. 

To promote the unified development 

and regulation of the Tennessee River 

System, Congress directed TVA to 

approve obstructions across, along, or in 

the river system under Section 26a of 

the TVA Act. ‘‘Obstruction’’ is a broad 

term that includes, by way of example, 

boat docks, piers, boathouses, buoys, 

floats, boat launching ramps, fills, water 

intakes, devices for discharging 

effluents, bridges, aerial cables, culverts, 

pipelines, fish attractors, shoreline 

stabilization projects, channel 

excavations, and floating cabins. TVA 

also owns, as agent for the United 

States, much of the shoreland and 

inundated land along and under its 

reservoir system. In addition to TVA’s 

Section 26a jurisdiction and the permit 

conditions issued pursuant to such 

jurisdiction, TVA has conditions and 

covenants in approved land use 

agreements with commercial marina 

operators and land and shoreline 

management policies that stipulate or 

restrict how TVA property and 

shoreline areas can be used. 

In 1971, TVA amended its Section 26a 

regulations at 18 CFR part 1304 to 

prohibit all new nonnavigable 

houseboats. Since 1971, TVA has made 

minor changes to its regulations 

affecting nonnavigable houseboats, most 

notably in 1978, when TVA reiterated 

the prohibition of nonnavigable 

houseboats except for those in existence 

on or before February 15, 1978. TVA 

developed the following criteria in its 

regulations to distinguish between 

navigable vessels and prohibited, 

nonnavigable houseboats: 

1. Built on a boat hull or on two or 

more pontoons; 

2. Equipped with a motor and rudder 

controls located at a point on the 

houseboat from which there is forward 

visibility over a 180-degree range; 

3. Compliant with all applicable State 

and Federal requirements relating to 

vessels; 

4. Registered as a vessel in the State 

of principal use; and 

5. State registration numbers clearly 

displayed on the vessel. 

In recent years, numerous TVA 

reservoirs have experienced an 

51710 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 177 / Thursday, September 16, 2021 / Notices 

accelerated growth in the number of a 

new, unpermitted type of obstruction, 

referred to as floating houses or cabins, 

which are designed and used primarily 

for human habitation or occupation and 

not designed and used primarily for 

navigation and transportation on the 

water. (Although TVA has used the term 

floating houses in the past, including in 

the EIS, TVA now refers to these 

structures as floating cabins.) While 

floating cabins may have some attributes 

of real watercraft, the structures neither 

resemble nor have the performance 

characteristics of navigable boats and 

are in fact a modern version of the older 

nonnavigable houseboats that TVA 

prohibited. While this growth has 

generated additional sources of revenue 

for commercial marina operators, the 

proliferation of these structures has 

resulted in unanticipated uses of the 

reservoir system and has raised 

concerns about impacts to public health 

and safety, public recreation, 

navigation, and the environment. 

Alternatives Considered 

TVA considered six management 

alternatives in the Draft EIS and the 

Final EIS. The management alternatives 

range from an alternative that would 

require all nonnavigable houseboats and 

floating cabins to be removed from TVA 

reservoirs to an alternative which allows 

existing nonnavigable houseboats and 

floating cabins to remain on TVA 

reservoirs in perpetuity and allows for 

new floating cabins on all TVA 

reservoirs. The alternatives considered 

by TVA were: 

The No Action Alternative—TVA 

would use discretion in enforcing its 

Section 26a regulations and would 

address specific problems caused by the 

mooring and use of these structures on 

a case-by-case basis. 

Alternative A—TVA would approve 

and issue permits for the mooring of 

existing and new floating cabins that 

meet new minimum standards within 

permitted marina harbor limits, while 

noncompliant floating cabins would be 

removed from the reservoir. TVA would 

change its regulations to set minimum 

standards for safety and wastewater 

issues and would increase enforcement 

of the standards. Existing permits issued 

to nonnavigable houseboats would 

remain valid and would not be subject 

to new standards if they comply with 

existing permit conditions. 

Alternative B1—TVA would approve 

and issue permits for the mooring of 

existing floating cabins that meet new 

minimum standards within permitted 

marina harbor limits. Permitted 

nonnavigable houseboats in compliance 

with their permits would continue to be 

allowed. TVA would prohibit new 

floating cabins and update its 

regulations to clarify that floating cabins 

are deemed nonnavigable. In the Draft 

EIS, TVA stated that its preference was 

to implement either Alternative B1 or 

B2 as its policy. 

Alternative B2—TVA would approve 

existing floating cabins that meet new 

minimum standards and allow mooring 

within permitted marina harbor limits 

for a limited time period, after which all 

floating cabins must be removed from 

TVA reservoirs. TVA would continue to 

allow existing permitted nonnavigable 

houseboats that are compliant with their 

permit conditions but would require 

that they also be removed from TVA 

reservoirs within the time period. TVA 

would prohibit new floating cabins. In 

the Draft EIS, Alternative B2 included a 

30-year sunset period by which time 

these structures would be removed. In 

the Final EIS, TVA identified 

Alternative B2 as its preferred policy 

and proposed a 20-year sunset period. 

Alternative C—TVA would continue 

to allow permitted nonnavigable 

houseboats that comply with their 

current permit conditions. TVA would 

prohibit new and existing floating 

cabins. TVA would require removal of 

all unpermitted floating cabins and 

permitted nonnavigable houseboats that 

are noncompliant with their permit 

conditions in accordance with 18 CFR 

1304.406. TVA would amend its 

regulations to clarify its navigability 

criteria but would not issue new 

standards. 

Alternative D—TVA would use its 

existing Section 26a regulations and 

property rights to remove existing 

floating cabins and noncompliant 

nonnavigable houseboats and to stop the 

mooring of new floating cabins on its 

reservoirs. TVA also would use the 

conditions and covenants in its land use 

agreements with marina operators to 

implement this approach. 

Environmentally Preferable Alternative 

Alternative B2 is the alternative most 

likely to result in the fewest 

environmental impacts over time 

because all floating cabins and 

nonnavigable houseboats would 

eventually be removed from TVA 

reservoirs and environmental impacts 

associated with the mooring and use of 

these structures would cease after that 

period. 

Public Involvement 

TVA published a notice of intent to 

prepare the EIS in the Federal Register 

on April 14, 2014. TVA sought input 

from Federal and state agencies, 

Federally recognized Indian tribes, local 

organizations and individuals during a 

90-day public scoping period. Public 

meetings were held in Jasper, Parsons, 

Kingsport, and Lafollette, Tennessee, 

and in Bryson City, North Carolina, with 

more than 200 attendees in total. The 

most common issues raised during the 

scoping period related to electrical 

safety, anchoring and mooring practices, 

water quality, the economic and 

financial importance of these structures 

to owners and marina operators, and the 

need for minimum standards, 

inspections, and enforcements. TVA 

also received recommendations for 

future management and policy 

alternatives. TVA prepared and 

published a Scoping Report that 

detailed the outreach and input during 

this period. 

The NOA of the Draft EIS was 

published in the Federal Register on 

June 12, 2015. TVA held public 

meetings on the Draft EIS in July and 

August 2016 in Lafollette, Parsons, and 

Johnson City, Tennessee, and in Bryson 

City, North Carolina, and accepted 

comments until August 25, 2015. TVA 

received 151 comment submissions on 

the Draft EIS and provided responses in 

the Final EIS. In response to numerous 

substantive comments, TVA made 

revisions and corrections to the EIS. 

After considering the public’s feedback 

on the Draft EIS and further internal 

deliberation, TVA modified Alternative 

B2 by applying a shorter period of time 

by which all nonnavigable houseboats 

and floating cabins must be removed 

from TVA reservoirs. 

The NOA of the Final EIS was 

published in the Federal Register on 

February 26, 2016. In the Final EIS, 

TVA identified Alternative B2 as its 

preferred floating cabins policy 

alternative and stated its intent to 

formally establish regulations to 

implement the policy. After the 

publication of the NOA and prior to the 

TVA Board of Directors (Board) meeting 

on May 5, 2016, TVA staff and the 

Board received several hundred 

comment submissions primarily from 

owners of nonnavigable houseboats and 

floating cabins expressing opposition to 

the proposal to remove these structures 

after a 20-year period. Most individuals, 

however, stated that they recognized the 

need for greater oversight of floating 

cabins by TVA and for new standards. 

Elected officials, marina owners and 

operators, and several organizations also 

contacted TVA to state their opposition 

to the sunset provision. A few 

commenters asserted that the EIS does 

not conclude that nonnavigable 

houseboats and floating cabins have an 

effect on the environment (in particular, 

reservoir water quality), navigation, or 

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 177 / Thursday, September 16, 2021 / Notices 51711 

the public’s use of reservoirs. While 

these commenters questioned the 

conclusions of TVA’s environmental 

and economic analyses, the individuals 

did not submit additional information 

or scientific data for TVA to consider. 

TVA also received a petition with over 

3,600 signatures and almost 950 

comments from individuals opposing 

the sunset provision. Generally, these 

individuals supported Alternative B1. 

At the May 5, 2016 meeting of the 

Board in Buchanan, Tennessee, 47 

individuals spoke during the public 

listening session. Most speakers 

opposed the sunset provision of 

Alternative B2. Several speakers 

expressed support of the proposal. 

Decision 

At the May 2016 meeting, the Board 

approved Alternative B2, with some 

revisions, as TVA’s policy for the 

management of nonnavigable 

houseboats and floating cabins, but 

chose to apply a 30-year sunset period 

rather than the 20-year period proposed 

in the Final EIS. The Board’s decision 

adopted a policy to prohibit new 

floating cabins and allow existing nonnavigable houseboats and floating 

cabins to remain in place for the 30-year 

period. The Board restated its earlier 

determinations that these structures 

pose safety, navigation, and water 

pollution risks and primarily benefit 

their owners at the expense of the 

public’s right to use and enjoy public 

waters. The Board also directed staff to 

amend TVA’s Section 26a regulations to 

implement the new policy, establish 

environmental and safety standards, and 

to institute a registration and inspection 

fee system for nonnavigable houseboats 

and existing floating cabins to secure 

the resources needed to enforce new 

standards and permit requirements. 

On December 16, 2016, prior to TVA’s 

issuance of a Record of Decision to 

reflect the Board’s decision, the United 

States Congress enacted the Water 

Infrastructure Improvements for the 

Nation Act of 2016 (WIIN Act) including 

Title IV Section 5003, which amended 

the TVA Act to include Section 9b. This 

new section of the TVA Act provides 

that TVA may approve and allow the 

use of floating cabins on waters under 

the jurisdiction of TVA as of December 

16, 2016, if the floating cabin is 

maintained to reasonable health, safety 

and environmental standards, as 

required by the Board and if the owner 

pays a compliance fee if assessed by 

TVA. The WIIN Act stipulates that TVA 

may not require the removal of a 

floating cabin that was located on the 

Tennessee River System as of December 

16, 2016: (1) For a period of 15 years if 

it was granted a permit by TVA before 

enactment, or (2) for a period of 5 years 

if it was not granted a permit by TVA 

before enactment. It further stipulates 

that TVA may establish regulations to 

prevent the construction of new floating 

cabins. 

Consistent with the provisions of the 

WIIN Act, TVA completed two 

rulemaking processes to establish 

regulations to implement these 

provisions. In August 2018, TVA 

completed a rulemaking process to 

amend its regulations that govern 

floating cabins to clarify the types of 

structures that TVA will regulate as 

floating cabins and to prohibit new 

floating cabins from mooring on the 

Tennessee River System after December 

16, 2016 (83 FR 44467, August 31, 

2018). In September 2021, TVA 

completed a second rulemaking process 

to address the permitting process for 

existing floating cabins and establish 

health, safety, and environmental 

standards (86 FR 50625, September 10, 

2021). These rules become effective on 

October 12, 2021. 

During its environmental review, a 

primary environmental issue of concern 

was how floating cabin wastewater 

would be managed. Among the 

standards included in the new rules are 

requirements pertaining to water 

discharge, sewage, and wastewater, to 

ensure compliance with all applicable 

federal, state, and local laws and 

regulations. If a floating cabin is 

documented to be in violation of any 

federal, state, or local discharge or water 

quality regulation by the respective 

regulatory agency, TVA will have the 

authority to revoke the permit and 

require removal of the floating cabin 

from the Tennessee River System if the 

violation is not corrected as specified by 

the regulatory agency in accordance 

with the agency’s requirements. 

Because some provisions of the 

Board’s approved alternative 

(Alternative B2) are inconsistent with 

provisions of the WIIN Act, TVA has 

decided to manage floating cabins in a 

manner that is substantively similar 

with Alternative B1 in the EIS, to the 

extent consistent with the WIIN Act. 

TVA will permit the mooring of existing 

floating cabins that meet minimum 

standards within permitted marina 

harbor limits. In addition, permitted 

nonnavigable houseboats in compliance 

with their permits would continue to be 

allowed. 

Through the rulemaking processes, 

several standards established by TVA 

differ in minor ways from several of the 

potential standards included in the EIS, 

which served to assist TVA in analyzing 

the potential impacts associated with 

floating cabin management. In the final 

regulations, due to the elimination by 

the WIIN Act of the sunset period, TVA 

will require that owners of all pre-1978 

nonnavigable houseboats be in 

compliance with the new standards 

established during the rulemaking, 

rather than maintain compliance with 

the previous permit conditions as 

contemplated in the EIS. Applying the 

new standards to older vessels has the 

potential to reduce environmental 

impacts because the new standards 

would be more stringent than the 

original permit conditions. In addition, 

at this time TVA will not apply an 

annual administrative fee to floating 

cabin owners and will lengthen the 

period of time provided to owners to 

make necessary upgrades to floating 

cabins to bring them into compliance 

with current standards; these provisions 

would result in minor reductions in the 

economic impacts to floating cabin 

owners that are described in the EIS. In 

the final regulations, TVA would allow 

exchanges or combinations of up to 

1,000 square-foot maximum footprint of 

the cabin, as contemplated in the EIS, 

and up to another 400 square feet of 

attached structures (such as docks and 

boat slips). While the total spatial limit 

would be marginally greater than what 

was contemplated in the EIS, the intent 

of the exchange program has not 

changed, and TVA anticipates that the 

program would reduce or at least 

maintain the current total footprint of 

floating cabins and attached structures 

on reservoirs. 

TVA also notes that since completion 

of the Final EIS in 2016, TVA staff 

conducted additional surveys of floating 

cabins and now estimate that as many 

as 20% more floating cabins are present 

on TVA reservoirs than estimated in the 

EIS (1,800). The exact number of cabins 

is difficult to determine, however. A 

greater number of floating cabins would 

increase the impacts described in the 

EIS. However, because impacts would 

be proportionately greater across the 

alternatives, the increase in the 

estimated number of floating cabins is 

unlikely to result in a change to 

conclusions made by TVA in its 

analysis. 

TVA has considered whether this 

higher estimate and the minor 

differences between the established 

standards and the potential standards 

identified in the EIS necessitate the 

supplementation of the EIS. TVA has 

determined that such supplementation 

is not necessary because the changes are 

not substantial and the new information 

is not significant as is relevant to 

environmental concerns. The 

51712 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 177 / Thursday, September 16, 2021 / Notices 

information would not meaningfully 

alter TVA’s analysis of impacts. 

Mitigation Measures 

During the environmental review, 

TVA identified and considered ways in 

which the impacts associated with the 

mooring and use of nonnavigable 

houseboats and floating cabins could be 

reduced and mitigated and included in 

the alternatives a number of proposals 

to reduce or eliminate ongoing or 

potential future impacts. TVA would 

require that owners of these structures 

adhere to permit conditions and 

minimum standards, many of which are 

intended to mitigate potential impacts 

to the environment. These minimum 

standards have been established through 

formal rulemaking processes and 

address water quality, flotation 

materials, public safety mooring 

practices, size, and navigation. 

All floating cabins, including 

nonnavigable houseboats that have been 

previously permitted by TVA, must 

comply with the new standards by a 

specified deadline. Non-compliance 

with these terms could result in the 

termination or denial of the permit and 

removal from the reservoir, consistent 

with timeframes identified in the WIIN 

Act. The requirements and the 

successful implementation of an 

enforcement and compliance system 

will reduce environmental impacts 

associated with the mooring and use of 

these structures on TVA reservoirs. 

Because this is a programmatic NEPA 

review, measures to reduce potential 

environmental impacts of site-specific 

activities associated with this policy 

were not identified. Additional 

environmental reviews would be 

required if changes to specific marina 

operations are proposed affecting 

nonnavigable houseboats and floating 

cabins and additional mitigation 

measures may be identified. 

To address potential effects of 

implementing the policy on cultural and 

historic resources, TVA completed a 

programmatic agreement in May 2016 

with the State Historic Preservation 

Officers (SHPO) of Alabama, Georgia, 

Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee 

and Virginia. This programmatic 

agreement was amended and executed 

in January 2021. Under the agreement, 

TVA will consult with the appropriate 

SHPO and consulting parties when 

reviewing either plans submitted to 

TVA by marina owners related to harbor 

limits or plans for individual floating 

cabin owners moored outside of marina 

harbor limits.
