SUMMARY: This rulemaking project was initiated to establish a temporary 
safety zone in Hempstead Harbor, New York, for the Grande Fiesta 
Italiana Fireworks Program. On August 14, 1995, the Coast Guard was 
notified that the location of the fireworks program was changed to a 
point on land. Due to the change in location, a safety zone is no 
longer required. Therefore, the Coast Guard is terminating further 
rulemaking under docket number CGD01-95-123.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background and Purpose

    On August 9, 1995, the Coast Guard published a Notice of proposed 
rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register (60 FR 40543). The proposal 
was to establish a temporary safety zone in all waters of Hempstead 
Harbor, shore to shore, within a 300 yard radius of a fireworks barge 
anchored approximately 300 yards north of Bar Beach, Port Washington, 
New York, at or near 40 deg.49'52'' N Latitude, 073 deg.39'10'' W 
longitude (NAD 1983). The safety zone was to be in effect from 9 p.m. 
until 10:15 p.m. on September 10, 1995, unless extended or terminated 
sooner by the Captain of the Port New York. No comments were received 
in response to the NPRM.
    On August 14, 1995, Fireworks by Grucci, Inc. informed the Coast 
Guard that the location of the fireworks program was changed from 
Hempstead Harbor to a point on land in the vicinity of Bar Beach, Port 
Washington, New York. The fireworks program will no longer require a 
safety zone. Therefore, this rulemaking is no longer necessary and the 
Coast Guard is terminating further rulemaking under docket number 
CGD01-95-123.

    Dated: September 6, 1995.
T.H. Gilmour,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port New York.
