1. General Description of Data to be Managed

1.1. Name of the Data, data collection Project, or data-producing Program:
Regulated Navigation Areas
Taken From: Item Identification | Title
1.2. Summary description of the data:

Regulated Navigation Areas (RNA) as outlined in 33 CFR Part 165 are established to regulate vessels and their movement within a specific area. The District Commander can issue an RNA to control vessel traffic in a place determined to have hazardous conditions. RNAs usually prescribe what type or size of vessels may enter an area or in what manner they must navigate. RNAs differ from Safety and Security Zones in two respects. First, only District Commanders are authorized to establish RNAs while Coast Guard Captains of the Port may not. Second, Safety and Security Zones are typically transitory in nature, responsive to a temporary safety or security concern on the water. They are meant to control access to an area, but they could also be used to control access based on compliance with specified temporary operating conditions within the Safety or Security Zone necessary for the purpose of the zones creation. RNAs are usually created where a more permanent solution to a safety or environmental concern is required. They principally regulate the operation of vessels permitted inside the area, but may also establish control of access to an area if necessary.

5. Data Lineage and Quality

NOAA has issued Information Quality Guidelines for ensuring and maximizing the quality, objectivity, utility, and integrity of information which it disseminates.

5.1. Processing workflow of the data from collection or acquisition to making it publicly accessible
(describe or provide URL of description):

Process Steps:

  • 2018-08-01 00:00:00 - • Go to https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2017-title33-vol2/xml/CFR-2017-title33-vol2-part165.xml and record all RNA info into a word document • For each area with coordinates, copy lat/long data into a spreadsheet • Import sheets into ArcGIS, convert to xy coordinates, and export to point feature classes using projection specified in CFR • NOTE: Areas from the following locations were not included in mapping: 165.810 - area not in RNC to locate 165.815 - area is inland 165.817 - area is inland 165.821 - area is inland 165.830 - area is inland 165.1171 - area not in RNC to locate • Create polygon features from point files, or specified areas in CFR • Use the USA States, Water Polygons, ATONs, Maritime Boundaries and RNCs to help locate areas that have unclear or no coordinate data • Delete all superfluous fields • Check geometry and project data into WGS 1984 Auxiliary Sphere
  • 2020-01-01 00:00:00 - Modified the Long Island Sound Marine Inspection and Captain of the Port Zone feature (165.153) to limit the extend to the 12 nm territorial sea rather than the Exclusive Economic Zone
  • 1) Update and replace the geometry for the Neptune and Northeast Gateway Deepwater Ports, and the Los Angeles Deep Water Pilot Area 2) Execute the REPAIR GEOMETRY command to resolve geometry validation errors 3) Update the metadata to list the 17 pending updates that need to be added to make this data set complete and current
