33 CFR Part 334


Restricted Area in Cape Fear River and Tributaries at Sunny Point 
Army Terminal, Brunswick County, NC

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, DoD.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army requested that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 
(Corps) revise the regulation for the restricted area in the Cape Fear 
River and its tributaries at Sunny Point Army Terminal, Brunswick 
County, North Carolina, by renaming the marker buoys and specifying the 
latitude and longitude for those buoys. There are no other changes 
proposed for this restricted area regulation. The purpose of the 
proposed rule is to correct the buoys designating the boundary of the 
restricted area which provide security for the facility, and prevent 
acts of terrorism, sabotage, or other criminal acts against the 
facility, including vessels loading and offloading at the Sunny Point 
Army Terminal. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of the Federal 
Register, we are publishing this change to the restricted area 
regulation as a direct final rule without prior proposal because we 
view this as a non-controversial adjustment to our restricted area 
regulations and anticipate no adverse comment. We have explained our 
reasons for this approval in the preamble to the direct final rule. If 
we receive no adverse comment, we will not take further action on this 
rule and it will go into effect. If we receive adverse comment, we will 
withdraw the direct final rule and it will not take effect. We will 
address all public comments in a subsequent final rule based on this 
proposed rule. We will not institute a second comment period on this 
action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received by September 30, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document concerns the ``Restricted Area 
in Cape Fear River and tributaries at Sunny Point Army Terminal, 
Brunswick County, NC'' rule. For further information, including 
instructions on how to submit comments, please see the information 
provided in the direct final rule that is located in the ``Rules and 
Regulations'' section of this Federal Register publication.
