Title: Anchorage Ground; Safety Zone; Speed Limit; Tongass Narrows and Ketchikan, AK (CGD17-99-002) 
Abstract: This rulemaking would grant an exemption from the present 7-knot speed limit in Tongass Narrows, AK, for float plane take-off and landing and vessels 23 feet in length or less. The geographic area for the speed limit would be expanded. A safety zone used for cruise ship anchorages would be redesignated as an anchorage area to reflect actual usage of the area and transiting vessels would be required to move quickly and directly through the anchorage, without rapid course changes, to increase safety. This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of marine safety.
