[Docket Number USCG–2022–0995]

Safety Zones in Reentry Sites; Panama
City, Pensacola, and Tallahassee,
Florida
Coast Guard, DHS.
Final rule.
The Coast Guard is
establishing three temporary safety
zones for the safe splashdown and
recovery of reentry vehicles launched by
Space Exploration Technologies
Corporation (SpaceX) in support of
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) missions. The
temporary safety zones are located
within the Coast Guard Sector Mobile
area of responsibility (AOR) offshore of
Panama City, Pensacola, and
Tallahassee, Florida. This rule prohibits
U.S.-flagged vessels from entering any of
the temporary safety zones unless
authorized by the Commanding Officer
of Coast Guard Sector Mobile or a
designated representative. Foreignflagged vessels are encouraged to remain
outside the safety zones. This action is
necessary to protect vessels and
waterway users from the potential
hazards created by reentry vehicle
splashdowns and recovery operations in
the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone
(EEZ). It is also necessary to ensure the
safe recovery of reentry vehicles, and
any personnel involved in reentry
services, after the splashdown. We
received no public comments.
DATES: This rule is effective from March
3, 2023 through February 4, 2024.
