Coast Guard March 20, 2023 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Regulated Navigation Area; Tampa Bay, Tampa, FL
Document Number: 2023-05459
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2023-03-20
Agency: Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security
The Coast Guard proposes to revise existing regulations for a Regulated Navigation Area in Tampa Bay, Florida by updating the geographic boundaries of Egmont Channel in the Gulf of Mexico. The proposed change is designed to align the coordinates in the regulation with the coordinates needed to properly control traffic in the Captain of the Port St. Petersburg Zone. The current coordinates do not reflect the Regulated Navigation Area that the Coast Guard intended to put in place. The Coast Guard invites your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
Safety Zone; Atlantic Ocean, Cape Canaveral Offshore Launch Area, FL
Document Number: 2023-05593
Type: Rule
Date: 2023-03-20
Agency: Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security
The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for waters of the Atlantic Ocean, adjacent to Cape Canaveral, FL. This safety zone would implement a special activities provision of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021. The Coast Guard is establishing this safety zone for the launch of the Terran 1 rocket, which is being launched by Relativity Space. The temporary safety zone will be located within the Coast Guard District Seven area of responsibility offshore of Cape Canaveral, Florida. This rule prohibits U.S.-flagged vessels from entering the temporary safety zone unless authorized by the District Commander of the Seventh Coast Guard District or a designated representative. Foreign-flagged vessels are encouraged to remain outside the safety zone. This action is necessary to protect vessels and waterway users from the potential hazards created by launch of the Terran 1 rocket, flying over the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
