Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
(a)
				  Pursuant to Title 33 United
				  States Code Section 3, the United States Army
				  Corps of Engineers has adopted regulations which restrict access to and
				  activities within certain areas of coastal and inland fishing waters. Federal
				  Rules codified at 33 CFR
				  334.410 through
				  334.450 designate danger zones and
				  restricted areas, within North Carolina coastal waters. These areas are
				  designated in
				  15A NCAC
				  03R .0102. Only the applicable military
				  commanders listed in the federal regulations have authority to authorize
				  navigation or fishing access to these designated areas. All military danger
				  zone and restricted area closures shall be enforced by the appropriate federal
				  agency. If reasonable use of these areas by the food fishing industry is
				  allowed or a permit process implemented by the appropriate military authorities
				  to allow access in accordance with
				  33 U.S.C. Section
				  3 or the appropriate federal authority allows
				  access to danger zones or restricted areas, all applicable fisheries statutes,
				  N.C. Marine Fisheries Commission rules, and proclamations issued by the
				  Fisheries Director, other than those allowing access, shall apply within these
				  areas.
(b) The military danger
				  zones and restricted areas are shown on navigational charts and specifically
				  described in the Coastal Pilot and the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
				  Copies of the CFR provisions are available on the internet at
www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/index.hmtl
