Regulated Navigation Area; Cuyahoga River, Cleveland, OH
The Coast Guard is issuing a final rule establishing a Regulated Navigation Area (RNA) for certain waters of the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland, Ohio. This action is necessary to provide for the safety of life on these navigable waters near the "Irishtown Bend" in Cleveland, Ohio, during a bank stabilization construction project from December 2, 2024, with an anticipated completion date of all waterside work on July 11, 2025. This rulemaking limits vessel speeds near the area and prohibits vessels from being inside the RNA during construction hours unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Sector Eastern Great Lakes or a designated representative.
Safety Zone; Potomac River, District of Columbia
The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for waters between the 14th Street Bridge to the north and the Woodrow Wilson Bridge to the south. The safety zone is needed to protect the public and vessels from potential hazards created by an aircraft collision on the Potomac River. Additionally, the safety zone is needed to ensure a safe working environment for the first responders and dive teams from passing traffic. This rule will prohibit persons or vessels from entering this zone unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port (COTP) Sector Maryland-National Capital Region (NCR) or a designated representative.

Revisions to Maritime Security (MARSEC) Directive 104-6; Guidelines for U.S. Vessels Operating in High Risk Waters
The Coast Guard announces the availability of Revision 9 to Maritime Security (MARSEC) Directive 104-6, which provides guidelines for U.S. vessels operating in high-risk waters (HRW) where acts of terrorism, piracy, and armed robbery against ships are prevalent. The directive contains security-sensitive information and, therefore, cannot be made available to the general public. U.S. vessel owners and operators who have needed to take action under previous versions of MARSEC Directive 104-6, should immediately contact their local Coast Guard Captain of the Port or District Commander for a copy of Revision 9. This revision contains important updates to HRW locations and organizational responsibilities regarding addressing security risks in those waters.
