33 CFR Part 162

[CGD–94–026]

Inland Waterways Navigation

Regulations; Wrangell Narrows, AK

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is increasing

the maximum width allowable for single

barge tows transiting Wrangell Narrows,

Alaska. In accordance with the goals of

the Presidential Regulatory Reinvention

Initiative, this action is being taken to

better meet maritime industry needs in

Southeast Alaska. The current size

restriction for single barge tows in

Wrangell Narrows is 80 feet in width

overall. An increase in the maximum

barge width to 100 feet in width overall

will allow barge operators to carry more

cargo on each barge to meet the

increasing needs of their Alaskan

consumers. Increasing the restriction to

100 feet in width overall will have no

adverse effects on navigation and

marine safety in Wrangell Narrows.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 11, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Unless otherwise indicated,

documents referred to in this preamble

are available for inspection or copying

at the office of the Executive Secretary,

Marine Safety Council (G–LRA/3406)

(CGD 94–026), U.S. Coast Guard

Headquarters, 2100 Second Street SW.,

Washington, DC 20593–0001, or may be

delivered to room 3406 at the above

address between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m.,

holidays. The telephone number is (202)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory History

On September 15, 1995, the Coast

Guard published a notice of proposed

rulemaking entitled Inland Waterways

Navigation Regulations: Wrangell

Narrows, Alaska in the Federal Register

(60 FR 179). The Coast Guard received

four comments on the proposal. No

public meeting was requested, and none

was held.

Background and Purpose

Wrangell Narrows is a navigable

waterway of the United States located in

Southeast Alaska. It connects Frederick

Sound on the north end to Sumner

Strait on the south. It is approximately

24 miles long and narrows to 300 feet

in five places. The longest of the 300

foot wide sections is approximately 5.5

nautical miles in length. The other four

sections vary from approximately 600

yards to approximately 1.3 nautical

miles in length.

The primary users of Wrangell

Narrows are passenger ferries, log

carriers, pleasure craft and container

barges. Container barges are used to

transport consumer goods throughout

South East Alaska which is vital to the

every day life of Alaskan citizens.

The increased demand for consumer

goods in Southeast Alaska has created a

greater demand on providers of these

goods. The current regulations limit the

width of single barge tows allowed to
63624 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 238 / Tuesday, December 12, 1995 / Rules and Regulations

transit Wrangell Narrows to no more

than 80 feet in width overall. Increasing

the maximum barge width which can

transit Wrangell Narrows from 80 to 100

feet will allow barge operators to carry

more containers per transit and enable

them to more efficiently meet the needs

of their Alaskan customers.

Approximately 95,000 containers are

shipped through Southeast Alaska each

year on approximately 200 transits of

Wrangell Narrows. Consumer goods are

the primary cargo.

Barges larger than 80 feet in width

overall, cannot transit Wrangell Narrows

without a waiver of the size restriction.

If they cannot use Wrangell Narrows,

they must transit through Chatham

Strait around Cape Decision which

increases the transit distance to the Gulf

of Alaska by over 170 miles. Inclement

weather, common in Southeast Alaska,

often causes delays of as many as two

or three days while barge operators wait

for better weather to make the passage

around Cape Decision. The risk of a

marine casualty increases when

transporting cargo in severe weather.

Wrangell Narrows is wide enough,

even in its narrowest sections, to allow

for the safe transit of 100 foot wide

barges. Alaska Marine Lines has been

safely operating 100 foot wide single

barge tows on Wrangell Narrows with as

Coast Guard waiver since May 1994.

Southeast Alaska relies heavily upon

container barges to deliver consumer

goods essential to the every day life of

its residents. Allowing 100 foot wide

single barge tows in Wrangell Narrows

will eliminate all current requests for

waivers from the width restriction and

will reduce unnecessary weather-related

delays of consumer good shipments to

Alaska residents. It will also allow most

single barge tows to operate in the

protected waters of Wrangell Narrows

during inclement weather.

Discussion of Comments

The Coast Guard received four

comments following the publication of

the NPRM. Three comments were from

barge operators and one was from a

national trade association for the inland

and coastal barge and towing industry.

All of the comments received were in

support of the proposed regulation for

the following reasons:

(1) The barge width increase will

reduce the number of transits,

improving marine safety in the Wrangell

Narrows;

(2) Barge freight will reach customers

in a more timely manner since tow

operators will be able to transit the

Narrows rather than going the extra 170

miles around Cape Decision; and

(3) The need to transit by way of Cape

Decision during bad weather will be

eliminated, avoiding the risk of weatherrelated accidents.

Regulatory Evaluation

This final rule is not a significant

regulatory action under Executive Order

12866 and is not significant under the

Department of Transportation

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44

FR 11040; February 26, 1979). The Coast

Guard has determined that a Regulatory

Evaluation is unnecessary because of

the minimal impact expected.

Small Entities

Because the impact of this regulatory

action is minimal, the Coast Guard

certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this

final rule will not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities.

Collection of Information

This regulatory action contains no

collection of information requirements

under the Paperwork Reduction Act (44

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.)

Federalism

This rule has been analyzed in

accordance with Executive Order No.

12612 on Federalism (October 26, 1987),

which requires Executive departments

and agencies to be guided by certain

fundamental federalism principles in

formulating and implementing policies.

These policies have been fully

considered in the development of the

proposed regulation. This final rule

does not have sufficient federalism

implications to warrant the preparation

of a Federalism Assessment.

Environment

The Coast Guard has considered the

environmental impact of this proposal

and concluded that this action is

Categorically Excluded in accordance

with section 2.B.2.e(34)(g) of the NEPA

Implementing Procedures, COMDTINST

M16475.2B. A copy of the categorical

exclusion determination is available in

the docket for inspection or copying

where indicated under ADDRESSES.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 162

Navigation (water), Waterways.

For the reasons set out in the

preamble, the Coast Guard amends 33

CFR Part 162 as follows:

PART 162—INLAND WATERWAYS
