STUDY OBJECTIVES To Determine: Present traffic density Potential traffic density If existing traffic routing measures are adequate If existing traffic routing measures require modifications Type of modifications

STUDY OBJECTIVES (Con’t) Define and justify the needs for new routing measures Determine the type of new routing measure Determine if the usage of the vessel routing measures must be mandatory for specific classes of vessels.

PARS PROCESS Determine if PARS is required based on: Request from private party New Information Review of previous PARS Identify the study area

PARS PROCESS (Con’t) Prepare a draft Notice of PARS, including: Reasons for the PARS Invite public comment Specific questions to be answered Any contemplated vessel routing measures and any associated legal effect of those measures Publication of Notice of PARS in Federal Register

POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATIONS Modification of existing vessel traffic routing system Extending or shifting current routes Creating new routes Validate existing measures No change

San Francisco PARS

PURPOSE Identify if there is a need to extend traffic lanes to the limit of the San Francisco VTS coverage area May result in extending existing traffic lanes

Current Issues Popular area for fishing vessels Marine sanctuaries

PROJECTED TIMELINE 10 DEC 09 – Published Notice of PARS study in the Federal Register. 10 DEC May 10 – Comments, Public Meetings, Agency Consultations, Analyze Data 01 May 10 – D11 release Final PARS Report 01 Aug 10 – Notice of Study Results
