The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the operating schedule that governs the operation of the Smith Point Bridge across Narrow Bay, mile 6.1, at Suffolk County, New York. This deviation is necessary to accommodate the 5K Run for Literacy. This deviation allows the bridge to remain in the closed position for one hour.

The Coast Guard proposes to establish a temporary safety zone on the waters of Biscayne Bay, east of Margaret Pace Park, Miami, Florida during the Mack Cycle Escape to Miami Triathlon on September 20, 2015. The temporary safety zone is necessary to provide for the safety of the participants, participant vessels, spectators, and the general public during the event. Non-participant persons and vessels are prohibited from entering, transiting through, anchoring in, or remaining within the safety zone that encompasses the swim area unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Miami or a designated representative.

The Coast Guard will enforce various safety zones within the Captain of the Port New York Zone on the specified dates and times. This action is necessary to ensure the safety of vessels and spectators from hazards associated with fireworks displays. During the enforcement period, no person or vessel may enter the safety zones without permission of the Captain of the Port (COTP).

The Coast Guard is proposing revisions to the existing conditional security zone regulation currently in place in the navigable waters of Suisun Bay, California, near Concord, California around each of the three piers at the Military Ocean Terminal Concord (MOTCO), California (formerly United States Naval Weapons Center Concord, California). This proposed action is intended to clarify responsibilities and authorities for enforcement of the security zone.

This action adds products to the Procurement List that will be furnished by nonprofit agency employing persons who are blind or have other severe disabilities.
