Title: ●Higher Volume Port Area--State of Washington 
Abstract: This rulemaking would revise the definition in 33 CFR 155.1020 for a "higher volume port area" (HVPA) in the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Puget Sound, Washington, in accordance with Public Law 111-281, section 710, which requires moving the point from which the boundaries of the current HVPA are measured, west from Port Angeles to Cape Flattery, WA. Vessel response plans, describing how tankers operating in those waters would respond to a cargo spill, would need to be reviewed and possibly modified in light of the regulatory change.
