Commander, Ninth Coast Guard District, has issued a temporary deviation from the regulation governing the operation of the Michigan Street and Maple-Oregon Street Bridges across the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal, at miles 4.3 and 4.17, respectively, both in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin.

Security Zone; Portland Rose Festival on Willamette River
The Coast Guard will enforce the Portland Rose Festival Security Zone in 33 CFR 165.1312 from 11 a.m. on June 8, 2011 until 11 a.m. on June 13, 2011.

During the enforcement period, no person or vessel may enter or remain in the security zone without permission of the Captain of the Port, Columbia River, Oregon.
Safety Zones; Fireworks Display Kanawha River, WV
The Coast Guard is establishing three permanent safety zones in the Ohio Valley Captain of the Port Zone on specified waters of the Kanawha River in Charleston and St. Albans, West Virginia. These safety zones are necessary to protect persons and vessels from the potential safety hazards associated with annual firework displays. When these safety zones are activated, and thus subject to enforcement, this rule would limit the movement of vessels within the established fireworks display areas. Entry into, transit through, mooring, or anchoring within the zones during time of enforcement is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port, Ohio Valley or designated representative.
Safety Zone: Ohio River Mile 355.5 to 356.5 Portsmouth, OH
The Coast Guard proposes to establish a safety zone in the Ohio Valley Captain of the Port Zone on the Ohio River in Portsmouth, OH. This safety zone is proposed to begin at mile 355.5 and end at mile 356.5, extending the entire width of the river. This Safety Zone is intended to protect persons and vessels from the potential safety hazards associated with the Civic Forum Fireworks Display, which occurs annually. This safety zone is proposed to become a permanent final rule.
Drawbridge Operation Regulations; Bayou Liberty, Mile 2.0, St. Tammany Parish, Slidell, LA
The Commander, Eighth Coast Guard District, has issued a temporary deviation from the regulation governing the operation of the S433 Bridge over Bayou Liberty, mile 2.0, St. Tammany Parish, Slidell, LA. This deviation will test a change to the drawbridge operation schedule to determine whether a permanent change to the schedule is needed. It will allow the bridge to remain unmanned during most of the day by requiring a one-hour notice for an opening of the draw from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and a two-hour notice from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. seven days a week. The Coast Guard may publish a Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to make this deviation permanent.
Security Zone; Vessels Carrying Hazardous Cargo, Sector Columbia River Captain of the Port Zone
The Coast Guard is establishing a 500 yard security zone around vessels carrying hazardous cargo, as determined by the Captain of the Port (COTP) Columbia River, when such vessels are located in the Sector Columbia River COTP Zone as defined in 33 CFR 3.65-15 and the COTP Columbia River determines that a security zone is necessary and enforcement of that security zone is practicable. The security zones will help ensure the security of the vessels themselves as well as the maritime public due to the hazardous nature of the cargo on board.
