Coast Guard Proposed Actions
This page provides access to maps, data, and information related to a selection of US Coast Guard proposed actions in the northeast region. The USCG proposed actions shown here were announced in the Federal Register and are often associated with public comment opportunities. Many of the proposed actions relate to Port Access Route Studies (PARS), which are conducted anytime the Coast Guard proposes routing changes, within the territorial seas, for any port.
Visit the Federal Register for a complete list of US Coast Guard proposed actions.
