Safety Zones, Security Zones, and Special Local Regulations
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.
ACTION: Notice of temporary rules issued.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document provides required notice of substantive rules
adopted by the Coast Guard and temporarily effective between January 1,
1995 and March 31, 1995, which were not published in the Federal
Register. This quarterly notice lists temporary local regulations,
security zones, and safety zones, which were of limited duration and
for which timely publication in the Federal Register was not possible.
DATES: This notice lists temporary Coast Guard regulations that became
effective and were terminated between January 1, 1995 and March 31,
1995, as well as several regulations which were not included in the
previous quarterly list.
ADDRESSES: The complete text of these temporary regulations may be
examined at, and is available on request, from executive Secretary,
Marine Safety Council (G-LRA), U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters, 2100
Second Street SW., Washington, DC 20593-0001.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Lieutenant Commander Stephen J. Darmody, Executive Secretary, Marine
Safety Council at (202) 267-1477 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 3
p.m., Monday through Friday.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: District Commanders and Captains of the Port
(COTP) must be immediately responsible to the safety needs of the
waters within their jurisdiction; therefore, District Commanders and
COTPs have been delegated the authority to issue certain local
regulations. Safety zones may be established for safety or
environmental purposes. A safety zone may be stationary and described
by fixed limits or it may be described as a zone around a vessel in
motion. Security zones limit access to vessels, ports, or waterfront
facilities to prevent injury or damage.

Special local regulations are issued to assure the safety of
participants and spectators at regattas and other marine events. Timely
publication of these regulations in the Federal Register is often
precluded when a regulation responds to an emergency, or when an event
occurs without sufficient advance notice. However, the affected public
is informed of these regulations through Local Notices to Mariners,
press releases, and other means. Moreover, actual notification is
provided by Coast Guard patrol vessels enforcing the restrictions
imposed by the regulation.
Because mariners are notified by Coast Guard officials on-scene
prior to enforcement action, Federal Register notice is not required to
place the special local regulation, security zone, or safety zone in
effect. However, the Coast Guard, by law, must publish in the Federal
Register notice of substantive rules adopted. To discharge this legal
obligation without imposing undue expense on the public, the Coast
Guard periodically publishes a list of these temporary special local
regulations, security zones, and safety zones. Permanent regulations
are not included in this list because they are published in their
entirety in the Federal Register. Temporary regulations may also be
published in their entirety if sufficient time is available to do so
before they are placed in effect or terminated. These safety zones,
special local regulations and security zones have been exempted from
review under E.O. 12866 because of their emergency nature, or limited
scope and temporary effectiveness.
The following regulations were placed in effect temporarily during
the period January 1, 1995 and March 31, 1995, unless otherwise
indicated.
Alfred F. Bridgman, Jr.,
Acting Executive Secretary, Marine Safety Council.
