Background

On May 12, 2014, the Coast Guard published in the Federal Register a temporary interim rule and request for comments establishing a safety zone within 300 feet of the Belt Parkway Bridge on the navigable waters of Gerritsen Inlet (79 FR 26848).

Need for Correction

As stated in the Federal Register publication of the temporary interim rule and request for comments, the safety zone included all navigable waters of Gerritsen Inlet: Southeast of a line from 40°35′09.46″ N, 073°54′53.92″ W to 40°35′10.0″ N, 073°54′44.5″ W. However, the correct coordinates are Southeast of a line from 40°35′09.46″ N, 073°54′53.92″ W to 40°35′15.60″ N, 073°54′42.07″ W.

Upon publication of the temporary interim rule and request for comments in the Federal Register, the Coast Guard became aware of the errors in the text relating to the coordinates. This notice corrects those errors by publishing the correct coordinates of the safety zone.
