Anchorage Regulations: Anchorage 

Grounds, Los Angeles and Long 

Beach Harbors, California 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is 

disestablishing Commercial Anchorage 

‘‘A’’ and is revising the permission and 

notification requirements in the 

regulations for the anchorage grounds of 

Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbors, 

California. Commercial Anchorage ‘‘A’’ 

has become the location of a Submerged 

Material Storage Site and is no longer 

usable. Revised permission and 

notification requirements affect the six 

commercial anchorages within the 

breakwater of the Ports of Los Angeles 

and Long Beach that can accommodate 

vessels with lengths exceeding 800 feet 

overall and drafts greater than 40 feet. 

This revision requires vessels using 

these deep draft anchorages for more 

than 48 hours to obtain extended 

anchorage permission from the Captain 

of the Port (COTP) Los Angeles-Long 

Beach. This action will assist the COTP 

and the Pilots for the Ports of Los 

Angeles and Long Beach to reduce 

congestion in the deep draft anchorage 

grounds within the harbor breakwater. 

DATES: This rule is effective January 2, 

2015.

NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

A. Regulatory History and Information 

On February 25, 2014, we published 

a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

(NPRM) entitled, ‘‘Anchorage 

Regulations: Anchorage Grounds, Los 

Angeles and Long Beach Harbors, 

California,’’ in the Federal Register (79 

FR 10438). We received one comment 

on the NRPM. There was no request for 

a public meeting. A public meeting was 

not held. 

B. Basis and Purpose 

The legal basis for this rule is: 33 

U.S.C. 471, 1221 through 1236, 2030, 

2035, 2071; 33 CFR 1.05–1; and 

Department of Homeland Security 

Delegation No. 0170.1, which 

collectively authorize the Coast Guard 

to define anchorage grounds. 

Section 110.214(b)(1) of 33 CFR 

establishes Commercial Anchorage ‘‘A’’ 

within Los Angeles Harbor. Commercial 

Anchorage ‘‘A’’ is a circular area with a 

radius of 400 yards, centered in position 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 232 / Wednesday, December 3, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 71655 

33°43′19.2′′ N, 118°14′18.5′′ W. Since its 

establishment, Commercial Anchorage 

‘‘A’’ has become a Submerged Material 

Storage Site. It is now encircled by a 

submerged dike and is no longer usable. 

Section 110.214(a)(2) allows vessels to 

remain anchored for up to 10 

consecutive days inside of the Los 

Angeles and Long Beach harbors before 

obtaining extended anchorage 

permission from the COTP. It does not 

offer any special consideration for the 

six sub-anchorages that can 

accommodate vessels with lengths 

exceeding 800 feet overall and drafts 

greater than 40 feet. 

For the purpose of this rule, 

designated geographic areas within a 

commercial anchorage will be known as 

sub-anchorages. The U.S. Coast Guard is 

authorized to determine anchorage 

grounds, and this rule aims to regulate 

specific vessels that may use areas 

within these grounds. Sub-anchorages 

are geographic areas established by the 

U.S. Coast Guard and displayed on 

NOAA oceanographic charts, labeled 

first with the letter of the commercial 

anchorage, followed by a number. For 

example; A–1, B–2, etc. 

Due to the increasing size of 

commercial vessels and the growth in 

shipping traffic, the anchorage grounds 

inside the breakwater of the Los Angeles 

and Long Beach harbors are becoming 

increasingly crowded. Vessels with 

lengths exceeding 800 feet overall and 

drafts greater than 40 feet are often 

compelled to wait outside of the 

breakwater while other vessels are 

moved out of deep draft anchorages to 

accommodate them. 

Pilots for the Ports of Los Angeles and 

Long Beach have recommended that the 

Coast Guard consider reducing the 

number of days a vessel may remain 

anchored in the six deep draft 

anchorages of Los Angeles and Long 

Beach harbors, without approval of the 

COTP. This will aid them in reducing 

congestion in the deep draft anchorages 

more effectively. 

This rule was recommended by Pilots 

for the Ports of Los Angeles and Long 

Beach and has three purposes. The first 

purpose is to disestablish Commercial 

Anchorage ‘‘A’’, as it is no longer 

usable. The second purpose is to 

identify commercial sub-anchorages B– 

7, B–9, B–11, D–5, D–6 and D–7 as 

anchorages that can accommodate 

vessels with lengths exceeding 800 feet 

overall and drafts greater than 40 feet 

within the Ports of Los Angeles and 

Long Beach. These anchorages are 

defined by the U.S. Coast Guard, and 

their coordinates and dimensions are 

defined below: 

Anchorage Latitude Longitude Radius 

(yards) 

B–7 ................................................................................................................................ 33–43′ 52.0′′ N 118–12′ 47.9′′ W 450 

B–9 ................................................................................................................................ 33–43′ 28.5′′ N 118–13′ 10.5′′ W 500 

B–11 .............................................................................................................................. 33–43′ 44.5′′ N 118–12′ 17′′ W 450 

D–5 ............................................................................................................................... 33–43′ 40.5′ N 118–10′ 30′′ W 450 

D–6 ............................................................................................................................... 33–43′ 40.5′ N 118–9′ 57.5′′ W 450 

D–7 ............................................................................................................................... 33–43′ 40.5′ N 118–9′ 25′′ W 450 

The final purpose of this rule is to 

revise the permission and notification 

requirements for the six sub-anchorages 

above by requiring vessels in these 

anchorages for more than 48 

consecutive hours to obtain permission 

to remain from the COTP. This will 

reduce congestion in the deep draft 

anchorages within the breakwater of 

both ports, and reduce the need for deep 

draft vessels to wait outside the 

breakwater as other vessels are moved to 

accommodate them. 

C. Discussion of Comments, Changes, 

and the Final Rule 

We received one comment on this 

rule. A request was made to extend the 

time limit for vessels anchoring within 

the commercial sub-anchorages B–7, B– 

9, B–11, D–5, D–6, and D–7, from 48 to 

72 hours. After further consideration, 

we have decided to finalize this 

proposal without the changes suggested. 

The process for obtaining COTP 

permission for a longer anchoring 

period is not difficult, and the 48 hour 

window for anchoring will reduce 

congestion and allow for better 

management of the deep draft 

anchorages within the area. When faced 

with congestion of the port, Los Angeles 

and Long Beach Harbor pilots are forced 

to coordinate the movement of multiple 

deep draft vessels that can only safely 

navigate and anchor in specific subanchorages, as noted above. With the 48 

hour restriction in place, vessel traffic 

and congestion within the small 

navigable area of the breakwater will be 

dispersed, ensuring the continuation of 

commerce and decrease the risk of 

navigation incidents within this highly 

trafficked port. 

Based on data from the pilots 

association, the majority of vessels 

calling upon the Port of Los Angeles/

Long Beach do not require more than 48 

hours to complete operations. 

Bunkering vessels are routinely and 

consistently available between 6 and 24 

hours after arrival. The request for a stay 

of 72 hours is in excess of the average 

time needed by vessels, and will 

decrease the efficiency of the pilots, port 

operations, and limit the number of 

vessels able to use the specific deep 

draft anchorages. This extended stay 

will increase the numbers of vessels 

waiting in queue of the deep draft 

anchorages, leading to higher risk of 

collision, potential damage to property, 

and additional incidents outside the 

breakwater. If repairs or additional 

bunkering time is needed, permission 

can be granted for vessels to remain past 

the 48 hour limit on a case by case basis. 

The Coast Guard will disestablish 

Commercial Anchorage ‘‘A’’ in the 

regulations for the anchorage grounds of 

Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbors, 

California in 33 CFR 110.214(b)(1). 

Commercial Anchorage ‘‘A’’ is a circular 

area with a radius of 400 yards, centered 

in position 33°43′19.2′′ N, 118°14′18.5′′ 

W, approximately 600 yards to the east 

of Pier 400. Since its establishment, 

Commercial Anchorage ‘‘A’’ has become 

a Submerged Material Storage Site. It is 

now encircled by a submerged dike and 

can no longer be used as an anchorage. 

The Coast Guard is revising the 

permission and notification 

requirements in the regulations for the 

anchorage grounds of Los Angeles and 

Long Beach Harbors, California in 33 

CFR 110.214(a)(2). Under this rule, no 

vessel may anchor in deep draft 

anchorages B–7, B–9, B–11, D–5, D–6 or 

D–7 within Los Angeles or Long Beach 

harbors for more than 48 consecutive 

hours unless extended anchorage 

permission is obtained from the COTP. 

These sub-anchorages are the only 

locations within the breakwater of Los 

Angeles and Long Beach harbors where 

vessels with lengths exceeding 800 feet 

overall and drafts greater than 40 feet 

can anchor. 

The purpose of the 48 hour time 

requirement is to reduce vessel 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
71656 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 232 / Wednesday, December 3, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

congestion in deep draft anchorages B– 

7, B–9, B–11, D–5, D–6 and D–7. Vessels 

within these sub-anchorages are 

required to justify remaining there 

beyond 48 hours to the COTP, or be 

prepared to move based on the needs of 

other vessels and the judgment of the 

Pilots for the Ports of Los Angeles and 

Long Beach. Limiting congestion in 

these anchorages will reduce the need 

for deep draft vessels to wait outside of 

the breakwater while other vessels are 

moved from the inside deep draft 

anchorages. As shipping volume and the 

size of vessels making calls to the Ports 

of Los Angeles and Long Beach continue 

to grow, maintaining anchorage space 

for deep draft vessels within the shelter 

of the breakwater is becoming 

increasingly important. 

This rule maintains the requirement 

for all vessels that anchor anywhere else 

within Los Angeles or Long Beach 

harbors to obtain extended anchorage 

permission from the COTP if they wish 

to remain anchored for more than 10 

consecutive days. In determining 

whether extended anchorage permission 

will be granted (for vessels in any 

anchorage), consideration will be given, 

but not necessarily limited to: The 

current and anticipated demands for 

anchorage space within the harbor, the 

requested duration, the condition of the 

vessel, and the reason for the request. 

D. Regulatory Analyses 

We developed this rule after 

considering numerous statutes and 

executive orders related to rulemaking. 

Below we summarize our analyses 

based on a number of these statutes or 

executive orders. 

1. Regulatory Planning and Review 

This rule is not a significant 

regulatory action under section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory 

Planning and Review, as supplemented 

by Executive Order 13563, Improving 

Regulation and Regulatory Review, and 

does not require an assessment of 

potential costs and benefits under 

section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 

or under section 1 of Executive Order 

13563. The Office of Management and 

Budget has not reviewed it under those 

Orders. 

We expect minimal additional cost 

impacts to the maritime industry, 

because this rule does not impose fees 

or more specialized requirements to 

utilize these anchorage grounds. The 

effect of this rule is not significant, as 

it removes an obsolete anchorage 

ground that is no longer used and 

revises the permission and notification 

requirements for six of the deep draft 

anchorage grounds in Los Angeles and 

Long Beach Harbors, California. The 

revised permission and notification 

requirements do not restrict vessels 

from utilizing these deep draft 

anchorages. They simply require vessels 

in these anchorages to obtain 

permission from the COTP to remain 

longer than 48 hours. While we 

recognize that this rule shortens the 

amount of time that a vessel may remain 

in the deep draft anchorages B–7, B–9, 

B–11, D–5, D–6 and D–7 from 10 days 

to 48 hours before being required to 

obtain extended anchorage permission 

from the COTP and may also increase 

the number of times that a vessel 

operator may be required to obtain 

extended anchorage permission, we 

anticipate this 48-hour notice 

requirement will not have a significant 

impact on vessel owners or operators. 

We further anticipate the 48 hour 

requirement will provide the pilots and 

COTP with more accurate and more upto-date information on vessel 

movements and will help reduce the 

need to move vessels out of deep draft 

anchorages on short notice. This will 

also assist in minimizing the number of 

deep draft vessels waiting outside of the 

breakwater while other vessels are 

moved from these anchorages to 

accommodate them. The COTP and 

pilots for Los Angeles and Long Beach 

retain their authority to move any vessel 

inside the breakwater when necessary. 

2. Impact on Small Entities 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 

(RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601–612, as amended, 

requires federal agencies to consider the 

potential impact of regulations on small 

entities during rulemaking. The term 

‘‘small entities’’ comprises small 

businesses, not-for-profit organizations 

that are independently owned and 

operated and are not dominant in their 

fields, and governmental jurisdictions 

with populations of less than 50,000. 

The Coast Guard received 0 comments 

from the Small Business Administration 

on this rule. The Coast Guard certifies 

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

not have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small 

entities. 

This rule would affect the following 

entities, some of which might be small 

entities: The owners or operators of 

commercial vessels intending to anchor 

in the affected areas. 

The impact to these entities is not 

expected to be significant because the 

only anticipated impact on vessel 

owners or operators will be the 

requirement to obtain extended 

anchorage permission from the COTP if 

they wish to remain in the deep draft 

anchorages for more than 48 hours. We 

expect this 48 hour notice requirement 

will help toward reducing the need to 

move vessels out of these deep draft 

anchorages by providing better 

awareness of vessel schedules and 

movements to pilots and the COTP. This 

rule will reduce congestion, enhance the 

effectiveness of anchorage management, 

and increase the availability of deep 

draft anchorages. It does not hamper the 

ability of commercial vessels to anchor 

inside of the Los Angeles and Long 

Beach harbor breakwater. 

Disestablishing Commercial Anchorage 

‘‘A’’ has no affect on these entities 

because the anchorage area is no longer 

usable and has not been for some time. 

3. Assistance for Small Entities 

Under section 213(a) of the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996 (Public Law 104– 

121), we want to assist small entities in 

understanding this rule. If the rule will 

affect your small business, organization, 

or governmental jurisdiction and you 

have questions concerning its 

provisions or options for compliance, 

please contact the person listed in the 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT, 

above. 

Small businesses may send comments 

on the actions of Federal employees 

who enforce, or otherwise determine 

compliance with, Federal regulations to 

the Small Business and Agriculture 

Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman 

and the Regional Small Business 

Regulatory Fairness Boards. The 

Ombudsman evaluates these actions 

annually and rates each agency’s 

responsiveness to small business. If you 

wish to comment on actions by 

employees of the Coast Guard, call 1– 

888–REG–FAIR (1–888–734–3247). The 

Coast Guard will not retaliate against 

small entities that question or complain 

about this rule or any policy or action 

of the Coast Guard. 

4. Collection of Information 

This rule will not call for a new 

collection of information under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501–3520). 

5. Federalism 

A rule has implications for federalism 

under Executive Order 13132, 

Federalism, if it has a substantial direct 

effect on the States, on the relationship 

between the national government and 

the States, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities among the 

various levels of government. We have 

analyzed this rule under that Order and 

determined that this rule does not have 

implications for federalism. 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 232 / Wednesday, December 3, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 71657 

6. Protest Activities 

The Coast Guard respects the First 

Amendment rights of protesters. 

Protesters are asked to contact the 

person listed in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section to 

coordinate protest activities so that your 

message can be received without 

jeopardizing the safety or security of 

people, places or vessels. 

7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires 

Federal agencies to assess the effects of 

their discretionary regulatory actions. In 

particular, the Act addresses actions 

that may result in the expenditure by a 

State, local, or tribal government, in the 

aggregate, or by the private sector of 

$100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or 

more in any one year. Though this rule 

would not result in such an 

expenditure, we do discuss the effects of 

this rule elsewhere in this preamble. 

8. Taking of Private Property 

This rule would not cause a taking of 

private property or otherwise have 

taking implications under Executive 

Order 12630, Governmental Actions and 

Interference with Constitutionally 

Protected Property Rights. 

9. Civil Justice Reform 

This rule meets applicable standards 

in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive 

Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to 

minimize litigation, eliminate 

ambiguity, and reduce burden. 

10. Protection of Children From 

Environmental Health Risks 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Executive Order 13045, Protection of 

Children from Environmental Health 

Risks and Safety Risks. This rule is not 

an economically significant rule and 

would not create an environmental risk 

to health or risk to safety that might 

disproportionately affect children. 

11. Indian Tribal Governments 

This rule does not have tribal 

implications under Executive Order 

13175, Consultation and Coordination 

with Indian Tribal Governments, 

because it would not have a substantial 

direct effect on one or more Indian 

tribes, on the relationship between the 

Federal Government and Indian tribes, 

or on the distribution of power and 

responsibilities between the Federal 

Government and Indian tribes. 

12. Energy Effects 

This action is not a ‘‘significant 

energy action’’ under Executive Order 

13211, Actions Concerning Regulations 

That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use. 

13. Technical Standards 

This rule does not use technical 

standards. Therefore, we did not 

consider the use of voluntary consensus 

standards. 

14. Environment 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Department of Homeland Security 

Management Directive 023–01 and 

Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, 

which guide the Coast Guard in 

complying with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and 

have concluded that this action is one 

of a category of actions that do not 

individually or cumulatively have a 

significant effect on the human 

environment. This rule involves 

disestablishing one unusable anchorage 

ground and revising the permission and 

notification requirements for six deep 

draft anchorage grounds at Los Angeles 

and Long Beach Harbors, California. The 

revised requirements will assist the 

COTP and the pilot stations for the Ports 

of Los Angeles and Long Beach in 

managing anchorages inside the harbor 

breakwater. This rule is categorically 

excluded from further review under 

paragraph 34(f) of Figure 2–1 of the 

Commandant Instruction. An 

environmental analysis checklist 

supporting this determination and a 

Categorical Exclusion Determination are 

available in the docket where indicated 

under ADDRESSES.
