Vessel Traffic Service Lower Mississippi River; Correction

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The United States Coast Guard published a final rule in the

mandatory participation Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) on the Lower 
Mississippi River and transferring certain vessel traffic management 
provisions of the Mississippi River, Louisiana--Regulated Navigation 
Area to the VTS. That document inadvertently transposed the coordinates 
for two of the reporting points for the Algiers Point Special Area.

DATES: Effective on May 31, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this 
correcting amendment or the corresponding rule, call or e-mail 
Lieutenant Commander Jim Larson, Office of Shore Forces (CG-7413), 
Coast Guard; telephone 202-372-1554, e-mail James.W.Larson@uscg.mil. If 
you have questions on viewing the docket, call Renee V. Wright, Program 
Manager, Docket Operations, telephone 202-366-9826.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This amendment corrects a previously printed 
error in the final rule that mistakenly transposed geographic 
coordinates for the Algiers Canal Forebay and Huey P Long Bridge 
reporting points in Table 161.65(f), VTS Lower Mississippi River 
Reporting Points.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 161
