Department of Homeland Security April 11, 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Coast Guard proposes to establish special local regulations during the ``Baltimore Dragon Boat Challenge,'' a marine event to be held on the waters of the Patapsco River, Northwest Harbor, Baltimore, MD on June 25, 2011. These special local regulations are necessary to provide for the safety of life on navigable waters during the event. This action is intended to temporarily restrict vessel traffic in a portion of the Patapsco River during the event.

The Commander, Eighth Coast Guard District, has issued a temporary deviation from the regulation governing the operation of the Union Pacific Railroad swing bridge across the Calcasieu River, mile 36.4, at Westlake, Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. The deviation is necessary to perform maintenance and updates to the bridge's operating system. This deviation allows the bridge to remain closed to navigation during night operations on two separate occasions.
