SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background and Purpose

On June 1, 2017, we published a notification of tribal consultation (82 FR 25207) related to the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) titled “Anchorages; Captain of the Port Puget Sound Zone, WA,” that we published February 10, 2017 (82 FR 10313). In May 2017 (82 FR 22448, May 16, 2017), we reopened the comment period on the NPRM, which is now set to close on August 9, 2017.

In the June 1, 2017 notification, we identified the scheduled date and time of the tribal consultation as July 13, 2017, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., but we did not provide the address. We are publishing this document to provide you with the location of the tribal consultation.

You may view the NPRM in our online docket, in addition to supporting documents prepared by the Coast Guard—for example, environmental checklist, and comments submitted thus far by going to http://www.regulations.gov. Once there, insert “USCG-2016-0916” in the “Keyword” box and click “Search.”

We encourage all interested tribes to participate in this formal consultation by responding orally at the consultation or in writing. If you bring written comments to the formal consultation, you may submit them to Coast Guard personnel specified at the meeting to receive written comments. These comments will be submitted to our online public docket. All comments received will be posted without change to http://www.regulations.gov and will include any personal information you have provided. For more about privacy and the docket, visit http://www.regulations.gov/​privacyNotice. We will also provide a written summary of the government to government tribal consultation and comments and will place that summary in the docket.

Comments submitted after the meeting must reach the Coast Guard on or before August 9, 2017. We encourage you to submit comments through the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. If your material cannot be submitted using http://www.regulations.gov, contact the person in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this document for alternate instructions.
