Department of Homeland Security May 21, 2019 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Coast Guard is establishing special local regulations for certain waters of the Upper Potomac River. This action is necessary to provide for the safety of life on the navigable waters located at National Harbor, MD, during a swim event on the morning of June 23, 2019. This regulation prohibits persons and vessels from entering the regulated area unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Maryland- National Capital Region or the Coast Guard Patrol Commander.

This notice announces that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has forwarded the Information Collection Request (ICR), Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number 1652-0046, abstracted below to OMB for review and approval of an extension of the currently approved collection under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). The ICR describes the nature of the information collection and its expected burden. The information collection involves passenger information that certain United States aircraft operators and foreign air carriers (collectively referred to in this document as ``covered aircraft operators'') submit to Secure Flight for the purposes of identifying and protecting against potential and actual threats to transportation security. The information collection also involves individuals who are a lower risk to transportation security and therefore may be eligible for expedited screening.

The Coast Guard will enforce a safety zone for a fireworks display taking place over the Washington Channel, adjacent to The Wharf DC, Washington, DC on June 8, 2019, (with an alternate date on October 18, 2019). This action is necessary to ensure the safety of life on navigable waterways during the fireworks display. Our regulation for recurring fireworks displays at this location from January 12, 2019, through December 31, 2019 identifies the safety zones for these fireworks display events. During the enforcement period, persons and vessels are prohibited from entering the safety zone unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Maryland-National Capital Region or a designated representative.
