Special Local Regulations; Recurring Marine Events in the Fifth Coast Guard District

Special local regulations are being proposed to provide for the safety of life on navigable waters during these events, reduce the Coast Guard's administrative workload and expedite public notification of events. Entry into or movement within these proposed regulated areas during the enforcement periods is prohibited without approval of the appropriate Captain of the Port.

Supplemental Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Department of Homeland Security
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), with the concurrence of the Office of Government Ethics (OGE), is proposing supplemental standards of ethical conduct for DHS employees. The proposed regulations would supplement the OGE Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch (OGE Standards) and, among other things, would set forth employee restrictions on the purchase of certain Government-owned property, require employees to report allegations of waste, fraud, and abuse, require employees to seek prior approval for certain outside employment and activities, prohibit employees in some DHS components from engaging in certain types of outside employment and activities, require designated components to develop instructions regarding the procedures for obtaining prior approval for outside employment and activities, and designate components within DHS as a separate agency for purposes of determining whether the donor of a gift is a ``prohibited source'' and of identifying an employee's agency for the regulations governing teaching, speaking, and writing.
Security Zones; Captain of the Port Lake Michigan Zone
Based on a review of safety and security zones around critical infrastructure in the Chicago area, the Captain of the Port Sector Lake Michigan has determined that to better protect such infrastructure, while also mitigating burdens on waterway users, it is necessary to amend the Lake Michigan at Chicago Harbor & Burnham Park HarborSafety and Security Zone regulation and the Security Zones; Captain of the Port Lake Michigan regulation. Specifically, the Coast Guard is amending these two regulations to reduce the size of an existing security zone, disestablish another security zone, and create three new security zones.
