SUMMARY: The Coast Guard announces a public meeting to receive comments

comments received in response to the NPRM that was published in the

propose to clarify the language in the note section of the existing 
regulation.

DATES: A public meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 12, 2016, from 6 
to 7:30 p.m. to provide an opportunity for oral comments. Written 
comments and related material may also be submitted to Coast Guard 
personnel specified at that meeting. The comment period for the 
supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking will close April 30, 2016. 
All comments and related material must be received by the Coast Guard 
on or before April 30, 2016.

ADDRESSES: The public meeting will be held at Burton W. Chace Park 
Community Room, 13650 Midanao Way, Marina del Rey, CA 90292, telephone 
310-305-9595.
    You may submit written comments identified by docket number USCG-
2014-0142 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background and Purpose

    We published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal 
Register on May 28, 2014 (79 FR 30509), entitled ``Anchorage 
Regulations: Subpart A--Special Anchorage Areas, Marina del Rey Harbor, 
California.'' That NPRM proposed to disestablish the special anchorage 
area. In response to comments received, we published a supplemental 
NPRM (81 FR 10156, February 29, 2016) to retain the special anchorage, 
but amend the shape and reduce the size of the anchorage to remove the 
anchorage area from a location where it could endanger vessel traffic. 
We have concluded that a public meeting would aid this rulemaking. 
Therefore, we are publishing this document announcing a public meeting 
and changing the end of the comment period from April 14, 2016, to 
April 30, 2016.
    You may view the supplemental NPRM in our online docket, in 
addition to supporting documents prepared by the Coast Guard and 
comments submitted thus far by going to http://www.regulations.gov. 
Once there, insert ``USCG-2014-0142'' in the ``Keyword'' box and click 
``Search.''
    We encourage you to participate in this rulemaking by submitting 
comments either orally at the meeting or in writing. If you bring 
written comments to the meeting, 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.
    Comments submitted after the meeting must reach the Coast Guard on 
or before April 30, 2016. 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
