Coast Guard June 11, 2019 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This document provides notification of substantive rules issued by the Coast Guard that were temporarily effective primarily between March 2015 and June 2015 but expired before they could be published in the Federal Register. This document lists temporary safety zones, security zones, special local regulations, drawbridge operation regulations and regulated navigation areas, all of limited duration and for which timely publication in the Federal Register was not possible.

The Coast Guard announces that the Fifth District, Chief of Prevention Division has issued a certificate of alternative compliance from the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 (72 COLREGS), for the towing vessel CAPE HATTERAS, Official Number (O.N.) 1293071, Master Boat Builders Hull Number 460. We are issuing this notice because its publication is required by statute. Due to its construction, purpose and service, the towing vessel CAPE HATTERAS cannot fully comply with the light, shape, or sound signal provisions of the 72 COLREGS without interfering with the vessel's design and construction. This notification of issuance of a certificate of alternative compliance promotes the Coast Guard's marine safety mission.
