We are considering this action after receiving requests suggesting that anchorage grounds may improve navigation safety along an extended portion of the Hudson River, which currently has no anchorage grounds, allowing for a safer and more efficient flow of vessel traffic. The Coast Guard is seeking comments and information about the operational need for new anchorage grounds and what form possible regulations should take.

Anchorage Grounds, Hudson River; Yonkers, NY to Kingston, NY

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Advance notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is considering establishing new anchorage 
grounds in the Hudson River from Yonkers, NY, to Kingston, NY. We are 
considering this action after receiving requests suggesting that 
anchorage grounds may improve navigation safety along an extended 
portion of the Hudson River, which currently has no anchorage grounds, 
allowing for a safer and more efficient flow of vessel traffic. The 
Coast Guard is seeking comments and information about the operational 
need for new anchorage grounds and what form possible regulations 
should take.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast 
Guard on or before September 7, 2016.
    Requests for public meetings must be received by the Coast Guard on 
or before June 30, 2016.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-

B. Regulatory History and Information

    Under title 33 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) 109.05, U.S. Coast 
Guard District Commanders are delegated the authority to establish 
anchorage grounds by the Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard. The Coast 
Guard establishes Anchorage Grounds under the authority in Section 7 of 
the act of March 4, 1915, as amended (38 Stat. 1053; 33 U.S.C. 471), 
and places these regulations in title 33 CFR part 110, subpart B. 
Hudson River Anchorage Ground regulations were last amended by rules 
published on March 31, 2016, January 15, 2015, and on July 20, 1999; 
these are 81 FR 18494, 80 FR 2011, and 64 FR 38828, respectively. The 
Coast Guard is now considering a proposed rulemaking to establish new 
anchorage grounds in the Hudson River.

[[Page 37169]]

C. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis and authorities for this ANPRM are found in 33 
U.S.C. 471, 1221 through 1236, and 2071, as well as 33 CFR 1.05-1 and 
Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1, which 
collectively authorize the Coast Guard to propose, establish, and 
define regulatory anchorages. The Coast Guard is considering 
establishing new anchorage grounds.
    The Coast Guard received requests from the Maritime Association of 
the Port of NY/NJ Tug and Barge Committee, the Hudson River Port 
Pilot's Association, and the American Waterways Operators to consider 
establishing new anchorage grounds on the Hudson River. The purpose of 
this ANPRM is to solicit comments on potential proposed rulemakings to 
increase the available anchorage grounds on the Hudson River in areas 
which currently have no anchorages.

D. Discussion of Possible Proposed Rule

    The Coast Guard is considering proposing to establish new anchorage 
grounds on the Hudson River. The anticipated users of the proposed 
anchorage grounds are commercial vessels and their attending tug, tow, 
or pushboats.
    The approximate depths of the proposed anchorage grounds range from 
21 feet to 65 feet, which would accommodate a variety of vessel types 
and configurations, and would not interfere with the areas where 
vessels have historically transited the Hudson River. Preliminary 
details describing these contemplated anchorage grounds are provided 
below using coordinates based on North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83). 
Illustrations showing the locations of these anchorage grounds are 
available in the docket.

E. Information Requested

    Public participation is requested to assist in determining the best

Hudson River between Yonkers, NY, to Kingston, NY. To aid us in 
developing a possible proposed rule, we seek any comments, whether 
positive or negative, including but not limited to the impacts 
anchorage grounds may have on navigation safety and current vessel 
traffic in this area, the proposed number and size of vessels anchoring 
in each proposed anchorage ground, and the authorized duration for each 
vessel in each proposed anchorage ground. We are also seeking comments 
on any additional locations where anchorage grounds may be helpful on 
the Hudson River or any recommended alterations to the specific 
locations considered in this notice. Please submit any comments or 
concerns you may have in accordance with the ``Public Participation and
