{"abstract":"The Coast Guard is increasing the maximum width allowable for single barge tows transiting Wrangell Narrows, Alaska. In accordance with the goals of the Presidential Regulatory Reinvention Initiative, this action is being taken to better meet maritime industry needs in Southeast Alaska. The current size restriction for single barge tows in Wrangell Narrows is 80 feet in width overall. An increase in the maximum barge width to 100 feet in width overall will allow barge operators to carry more cargo on each barge to meet the increasing needs of their Alaskan consumers. Increasing the restriction to 100 feet in width overall will have no adverse effects on navigation and marine safety in Wrangell Narrows.","action":"Final rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION","name":"Transportation Department","id":492,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/transportation-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/492","parent_id":null,"slug":"transportation-department"},{"raw_name":"Coast Guard","name":"Coast Guard","id":53,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/coast-guard","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/53","parent_id":227,"slug":"coast-guard"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/1995/12/12/95-30262.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"162","title":33}],"citation":"60 FR 63623","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"January 11, 1996.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["CGD-94-026"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"95-30262","effective_on":null,"end_page":63624,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":null,"html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/12/95-30262/inland-waterways-navigation-regulations-wrangell-narrows-ak","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/95-30262?publication_date=1995-12-12","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-1995-12-12/95-30262/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":2,"page_views":{"count":38,"last_updated":"2026-10-24 20:15:05 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-12/pdf/95-30262.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"1995-12-12","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/1995/12/12/95-30262.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"2115-AE78":{"issue":"199510","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/2115-AE78/inland-waterways-navigation-regulations-wrangell-narrows-ak-cgd-94-026-","title":"Inland Waterways Navigation Regulations; Wrangell Narrows, AK (CGD 94-026)","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=199510&RIN=2115-AE78&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Substantive, Nonsignificant"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["2115-AE78"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":false,"signing_date":null,"start_page":63623,"subtype":null,"title":"Inland Waterways Navigation Regulations; Wrangell Narrows, AK","toc_doc":null,"toc_subject":null,"topics":[],"type":"Rule","volume":60}
