Security Zone: Captain of the Port Sault Ste. Marie Zone
Document Number: E7-16205
Type: Rule
Date: 2007-08-17
Agency: Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security
The Coast Guard is enforcing a security zone approximately one quarter mile on each side of the Mackinac Bridge in the Straits of Mackinac near Mackinaw City, MI. The purpose of this security zone is to protect pedestrians and vessels during the event from vessel to bridge collision. The security zone will place navigational and operational restrictions on all vessels transiting through the Straits area, under and around the Mackinac Bridge, located between Mackinaw City, MI, and St. Ignace, MI.
Security Zone; Tinian, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands
Document Number: E7-16203
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2007-08-17
Agency: Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security
The Coast Guard proposes to change a permanent security zone in waters adjacent to the island of Tinian, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). Review of this established zone indicates that its scope is overly-broad and that it imposes an unnecessary and unsustainable enforcement burden on the Coast Guard. This proposed change is intended to narrow the zone's scope so it more accurately reflects current enforcement needs.
