The Coast Guard proposes to establish a temporary safety zone for certain navigable waters of the Cooper River at Patriot's Point in Charleston, SC. This action is necessary to provide for the safety of the general public, spectators, vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards during a fireworks display. This proposed rulemaking would prohibit persons and vessels from entering, transiting through, anchoring in, or remaining within the safety zone unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Charleston (COTP) or a designated representative. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.

The Coast Guard is adding a special local regulation to increase safety in the navigable waters of Round Lake and Pine River Channel, Charlevoix, MI, during the annual Boyne Thunder Poker Run. The regulation will allow the Coast Guard Patrol Commander to control vessel traffic during the event in this small and restricted waterway. The regulation will be enforced during the day of the event. The date and time will be announced via a Notice of Enforcement.
