The Coast Guard announces that the Fifth District, Chief of Prevention Division has issued a certificate of alternative compliance from the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 (72 COLREGS), for the towing vessel RANDY McCRANEY, Official Number (O.N.) 1292293, Master Boat Builders Hull Number 459. We are issuing this notice because its publication is required by statute. Due to its construction, purpose and service, the towing vessel RANDY McCRANEY cannot fully comply with the light, shape, or sound signal provisions of the 72 COLREGS without interfering with the vessel's design and construction. This notification of issuance of a certificate of alternative compliance promotes the Coast Guard's marine safety mission.

The Coast Guard is proposing to establish a temporary safety zone for the navigable waters of the Upper Mississippi River between mile markers (MM) 486 through MM 491.1 in the vicinity of Riverdale, IA. This action is necessary to provide for the safety of life on these waters during a large scale paddle event. This proposed rulemaking would prohibit persons and vessels from entering the safety zone unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Sector Upper Mississippi River (COTP) or a designated representative. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.

The Coast Guard proposes to establish a moving safety zone for certain waters of the Cuyahoga River. This action is necessary to provide for the safety of life on the navigable waters in the Cuyahoga River, Cleveland, OH, during the Cleveland Parade of Lights on June 22, 2019. This temporary safety zone is necessary to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from the potential hazards created by 125 vessels transiting in the river with lights not normally used for marine traffic navigation lights. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port Sector Buffalo. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
