The Coast Guard will enforce a safety zone on the Milwaukee Harbor in Milwaukee, WI during specified times from June 7, 2019 through August 23, 2019. This action is necessary and intended to protect the safety of life and property on navigable waterways prior to, during, and immediately after fireworks displays. During the enforcement period, entry into, transiting, or anchoring within the safety zone is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan or a designated representative. The operator of any vessel in the regulated area must comply with directions from the Patrol Commander or any Official Patrol displaying a Coast Guard ensign.

This proposed rulemaking would prohibit persons and vessels from entering, transiting through, anchoring in, or remaining within the safety zone unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Charleston (COTP) or a designated representative. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
