Coast Guard June 14, 2019 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Coast Guard will enforce various safety zones for annual marine events in the Captain of the Port Detroit zone. Enforcement of these zones is necessary and intended to ensure safety of life on the navigable waters immediately prior to, during, and immediately after these fireworks events. During the aforementioned period, the Coast Guard will enforce restrictions upon, and control movement of, vessels in a specified area immediately prior to, during, and immediately after fireworks events. During each enforcement period, no person or vessel may enter the respective safety zone without permission of the Captain of the Port or his designated representative.

The Coast Guard proposes to establish a temporary Special Local Regulation for the navigable waters of the Upper Mississippi River between mile marker (MM) 839 and MM 840 in St. Paul, MN on September 7, 2019 in order to provide for the safety of life on these waters during a Red Bull Flugtag event. This proposed rulemaking would prohibit persons and vessels from entering and operating between MM 839 and MM 840 of the Upper Mississippi River during the event unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Upper Mississippi River (COTP) or a designated representative. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
