Coast Guard March 5, 2008 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for loading, transport, and launching of fireworks used to celebrate the Bass Wedding Ceremony. The fireworks displays will be held on March 8, 2008, on San Francisco Bay. This safety zone is established to ensure the safety of participants and spectators from the dangers associated with the pyrotechnics. Unauthorized persons or vessels are prohibited from entering into, transiting through, or remaining in the safety zone without permission of the Captain of the Port or his designated representative.
