Coast Guard May 24, 2024 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Coast Guard will enforce the safety zone for the Moosabec 4th of July Committee Fireworks on June 29, 2024, to provide for the safety of life on navigable waterways. Our regulations for safety zones for annually recurring marine events held in Coast Guard Northern New England Captain of the Port Zone identify the regulated area for this event. During the enforcement periods, the operator of any vessel in the regulated area must comply with directions from the Designated Representative or any Official Patrol displaying a Coast Guard ensign.

The Coast Guard is proposing to establish specific areas of the Hudson and East Rivers where safety zones will be enforced on the navigable waters beneath aerial drone shows. This action is necessary to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards created by aerial drone displays. This proposed rulemaking would prohibit persons and vessels from being in the safety zone unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Sector New York or a designated representative. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
