Removal of Regulated Navigation Areas, Safety Zones, Security Zones, and Special Local Regulations Within District 7
The Coast Guard is updating District 7 regulations to reflect the current status of identified regulated navigation areas, special local regulations, safety zones, and security zones within the District. This rule removes safety zones and special local regulations for rules where the enforcement period has expired or where the event is no longer held. This rule also removes special local regulations where the event no longer meets the criteria for a permitted event and is not suitable for coverage under a special local regulation in accordance with Coast Guard regulations.
Security Zone; Corpus Christi Ship Channel, Corpus Christi, TX
The Coast Guard establishes two security zones. One of the zones is a temporary fixed security zone for the receiving facility's mooring basin while the Liquefied Natural Gas Carrier (LNGC) MARAN GAS MYSTRAS is moored at the facility. The other zone is a moving security zone encompassing all navigable waters within a 500-yard radius around the LNGC MARAN GAS MYSTRAS while the vessel transits with cargo in the La Quinta Channel and Corpus Christi Ship Channel in Corpus Christi, TX. The security zones are needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards created by Liquified Natural Gase (LNG) cargo aboard the vessel. Entry of vessels or persons into these zones is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port Sector Corpus Christi.
Safety Zone; Cumberland River, Kentucky
The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for all navigable waters between mile marker 0.0 and mile marker 3.0 of the Cumberland River in Smithland, Kentucky. The safety zone is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and personal property from potential hazards created by vessel wake during a high water event. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley or a designated representative.
Special Local Regulation; Bush River and Otter Point Creek, Harford County, MD
The Coast Guard proposes to establish special local regulations for certain waters of the Bush River and Otter Point Creek. This action is necessary to provide for the safety of life on these navigable waters located at Edgewood, Harford County, MD, during a high-speed power boat racing event on May 11, 2019, and May 12, 2019. This proposed rulemaking would prohibit persons and vessels from being in the regulated area unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Maryland-National Capital Region or Coast Guard Patrol Commander. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
Safety Zone; Chicago Harbor, Navy Pier Southeast, Chicago, IL
The Coast Guard is modifying the Navy Pier Southeast Safety Zone within the Chicago Harbor. This action is necessary to alleviate congestion near the Chicago Lock during regularly scheduled fireworks events. The current safety zone encompasses part of the lock restricting vessels during events. This rule allows the lock to remain in full operation during the fireworks display.
