I don't know what the situation is up in the northern latitudes, but the above
is not quite correct for us boaters in the lower 48 (OK - in Alaska and HI
too!).
Down here, Special Anchorage areas are only those areas that have been
specifically designated as such via formal rule making by the US Coast Guard,
and published in the Code of Federal Regulations in 33CFR110 Subpart A. A copy
of this can be found at
http://frwebgate6.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/waisgate.cgi?WAISdocID=942933330798+1+0
+0&WAISaction=retrieve.
The Special Anchorage areas are also listed in the Coast Pilot, along with the
CFR number for each one. Of course, while 33CFR110 list all SAs in the US, each
Coast Pilot volume only lists the SAs in the geographic area covered in that
book.
If a local authority wanted a Special Anchorage area designated, they would have
to get the USCG to agree and go through the rule making process to designate it.
On US charts, the Special Anchorage areas are shown delineated by solid red
lines, with a note in red type listing it as "Special Anchorage" and listing the
section in CFR Part 33 that applies.
