Safety Zone; Fireworks Displays Within the Fifth Coast Guard District
The Coast Guard will enforce a safety zone for fireworks at The Wharf DC on December 3, 2022 to provide for the safety of life on navigable waterways during this event. Our regulation for Fireworks Displays within the Fifth Coast Guard District identifies the safety zone for this event in Washington, DC During the enforcement period, the operator of any vessel in the safety zone must comply with directions from the Patrol Commander or any Official Patrol displaying a Coast Guard ensign.
Pilots' Medical Certificate Validity Period
The Coast Guard is issuing this final rule to extend the maximum validity period of merchant mariner medical certificates issued to first-class pilots, and masters or mates serving as pilot, from 2 years to 5 years. We are issuing this rule in response to federal advisory committee recommendations and a petition for rulemaking. This rule will reduce the frequency of medical certificate application submissions to the Coast Guard. The rule maintains the requirement for pilots to complete annual physicals and provides the Coast Guard opportunity to review the medical examinations of pilots who may become medically unqualified between medical certificate applications; therefore, the rule does not compromise safety.

In this Notice, TSA announces changes to the existing fee structure and fees for the HME and TWIC Programs to include initial in-person applications, in-person renewals, comparable STAs, and new online renewal fees. These updates will allow TSA to continue to improve the HME and TWIC enrollment experience, mitigate potential security risks, and ensure that the programs remain fully funded.
