Coast Guard September 21, 2018 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Coast Guard will enforce the special local regulation on the waters of the New Jersey Intracoastal Waterway (ICW), near Atlantic City, New Jersey, from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. on September 23, 2018. This action is necessary to ensure safety of life on the navigable waters of the United States during a triathlon event. The purpose of this notice of enforcement is to announce a change in the date in which the event is being held.

The Coast Guard proposes to amend the existing recurring fireworks safety zone on the Delaware River adjacent to Penn's Landing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The amendment would allow the Coast Guard to enforce the safety zone at this location throughout the entire year. The Coast Guard would notify the public of upcoming enforcement of the zone through publication of a Notice of Enforcement in the Federal Register and Broadcast Notice to Mariners. This change would expedite public notification of events at the location and ensure the protection of the maritime public and event participants from the hazards associated with fireworks displays in the Delaware River adjacent to Penn's Landing. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
