[Docket No. USCG-2013-0194]

Navigation Safety Advisory Council; Meeting

AGENCY: United States Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of Federal Advisory Committee meeting: correction.

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

SUMMARY: The Navigation Safety Advisory Council (NAVSAC) will meet 
April 10-11, 2013, in Arlington, Virginia to discuss matters relating 
to maritime collisions, rammings, groundings; Inland and International 
Rules of the Road; navigation regulations and equipment; routing 
measures; marine information; diving safety; and aids to navigation 
systems. This notice corrects the previous notice to add an explanation 
for why 15-days advance notice was not given.

DATES: NAVSAC will meet Wednesday, April 10, 2013, from 8 a.m. to 5 
p.m., and Thursday, April 11, 2013, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Please note 
that the meeting may close early if the committee has completed its 
business. Pre-registration and written comments are due April 1, 2013.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at the Navy League Building, Coast 
Guard Recruiting Command, 5th floor conference room, 2300 Wilson 
Boulevard, Suite 500, Arlington, Virginia 20598. All visitors to the 
Navy League Building must pre-register to be admitted to the building. 
You may pre-register by contacting Mr. Burt Lahn listed in the FOR 
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about this 
meeting, please contact Mr. Mike Sollosi, the NAVSAC Alternate 
Designated Federal Officer (ADFO), by telephone at 202-372-1545 or via 
email at mike.m.sollosi@uscg.mil; or Mr. Burt Lahn, NAVSAC meeting 
coordinator, at telephone 202-372-1526 or email burt.a.lahn@uscg.mil. 
If you have questions on viewing or submitting material to the docket, 
call Barbara Hairston, Program Manager, Docket Operations, telephone 
202-366-9826.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard's March 27, 2013 notice of 
the April 10-11 2013, NAVSAC meeting inadvertently failed to contain an 
explanation for its publication less than 15 calendar days prior to the 
meeting, as required by General Services Administration rules 41 CFR-
102-3.150(b). The reason the notice was published only 14 calendar days 
prior to the meeting was an administrative delay. The Coast Guard 
regrets the delay in publication but notes that the notice was publicly 
available on the Federal Register Web site 16 calendar days prior to 
the meeting. Additionally, all known interested parties were made aware 
of the meeting with sufficient time for planning purposes.
    It is critical that this meeting be held on the announced meeting 
date because delays in Council discussions could have significant 
ramifications for ongoing Coast Guard studies and evaluations on the 
agenda for the upcoming meeting. Maintaining the current meeting 
schedule allows the Coast Guard to continue deliberations and forward 
progress regarding multiple risk assessments for U.S. ports and 
waterways.
    If you have been adversely affected by the delay in publishing the 
notice, contact Mr. Mike Sollosi or Mr. Burt Lahn (see FOR FURTHER 
INFORMATION CONTACT) and the Coast Guard will make every effort to 
accommodate you.

    Dated: March 25, 2013.
Kathryn Sinniger,
Chief, Office of Regulations and Administrative Law, U.S. Coast Guard.
