Coast Guard June 23, 2015 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone on Black River, Lorain, OH. This safety zone is intended to restrict vessels from a portion of the Black River during the Black River Kayak- a-thon. This temporary safety zone is necessary to protect participants and mariners from the navigational hazards associated with a paddle sport regatta.

The Coast Guard proposes to add, delete, and modify special local regulations for annual marine events in the Sector Long Island Sound Captain of the Port (COTP) Zone. When enforced, these regulated areas would restrict vessels from portions of water areas during certain annually recurring events. The proposed special local regulations are intended to expedite public notification and ensure the protection of the maritime public and event participants from the hazards associated with certain maritime events. Comments and related material must be received by the Coast Guard on or before July 23, 2015. Requests for public meetings must be received by the Coast Guard on or before July 14, 2015.
