-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document provides required notice of substantive rules 
adopted by the Coast Guard and temporarily effective between July 1, 
1997 and September 30, 1997, which was 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 may not have been 
possible.

DATES: This notice lists temporary Coast Guard regulations that became 
effective and were terminated between July 1, 1997 and September 30, 
1997, 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 Christopher S. Keane at (202) 267-6004 between the hours of 
8 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: District Commanders and Captains of the Port 
(COT) must be immediately responsive 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 
damages. Special local regulations are issued to enhance 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 July 1, 1997 and September 30, 1997, unless otherwise 
indicated.

    Date: October 31, 1997.
Michael L. Emge,
Commander, U.S. Coast Guard, Executive Security, Marine Safety Council.
