Description
The Coast Guard is proposing to amend regulations to comply with the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026, which mandates prohibiting vessels from anchoring on the Hudson River between Yonkers, New York, and Kingston, New York, except in anchorages established before January 1, 2021. The proposed rule defines specific southern and northern boundary demarcation points to enforce this prohibition. Exceptions include anchoring for safety reasons or within pre-existing anchorages, with vessels over 20 meters required to notify the Captain of the Port when anchoring under certain exceptions. Comments on this proposed rule are invited until August 7, 2026.
