## Abstract

The Corps is amending the regulations which establish several danger zones in Pamlico Sound and the Neuse River in North Carolina to delete one of the danger zones and make minor editorial changes to the regulations. The danger zone as it exists, protrudes into and interferes with navigation in Turnagain Bay and will not be used again by the Government for a use that precludes free use by the public. The Corps is also making minor editorial amendments to the regulations which establish a restricted area in the waters of Alligator Bayou, a tributary of St. Andrews Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, Florida and a restricted area in the waters of Suisun Bay, west of Carquinez Straits at the Naval Weapons Station, Concord, California, to clarify that persons, as well as vessels, are not allowed within the restricted areas. This amendment will not affect the size, location or further restrict the public's use of the restricted areas. The restricted areas continue to be essential to the safety and security of Government facilities, vessels and personnel and protect the public from the hazards associated with the operations at Government facilities.
