Waterway restriction data must be online within five years
What the document says“Not later than 5 years after the date of enactment of this Act, each of the Secretaries, to the maximum extent practicable, shall digitize and make publicly available online, as applicable, geographic information system data that includes, with respect to Federal waterway restrictions--”
Within 5 years of enactment, each Secretary must, to the maximum extent practicable, digitize and publish online geographic information system data on Federal waterway restrictions. The subsection lists six kinds: the conditions under which waterways are open or closed to entry or watercraft, including inspection and decontamination requirements, low-elevation aircraft and diving; seasonal closure dates; areas with limits on motorized propulsion, horsepower or fuel type; areas with anchoring restrictions, no wake zones, exclusion zones, danger areas or vessel speed limits; restrictions on direction of travel; and which uses are restricted on each area, from paddlecraft and rafts to airboats, hovercraft, oceangoing ships and swimming.
What the document actually says“Not later than 5 years after the date of enactment of this Act, each of the Secretaries, to the maximum extent practicable, shall digitize and make publicly available online, as applicable, geographic information system data that includes, with respect to Federal waterway restrictions--”
Each leader must put this map data online. It must be up within five years. They must do as much as they can.
The data shows when waters are open or shut. It shows limits on motors and speed. It shows which craft may be used. It shows no wake zones and closed spots.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
