Coast Guard November 5, 2019 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Coast Guard is proposing to establish a temporary security zone over certain navigable waters of Biscayne Bay in connection with Super Bowl 2020 events in Miami, Florida. The temporary security zone is necessary to protect official party, executives, public, and surrounding waterway from terrorist acts, sabotage or other subversive acts, accidents, or other causes of a similar nature. Anchoring, or remaining within the security zone would be prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Miami (COTP) or a designated representative. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.

The Coast Guard will enforce a special local regulation on December 7, 2019 to provide for the safety and security of navigable waterways during the Palm Beach Holiday Boat Parade. During the enforcement period, all non-participant persons and vessels will be prohibited from entering, transiting, anchoring in, or remaining within the regulated area unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Miami or a designated representative. The operator of any vessel in the regulated area must comply with instructions from the Coast Guard or designated representative.
