timely publication in the Federal Register may not have been possible.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: District Commanders and Captains of the Port 
(COTP) 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 
damage. 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 published in the Federal 
Register notice of substantive rules adopted. To meet this 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. The safety zones, 
special local regulations and security zones listed in this notice have 
been exempted from review under Executive Order 12866 because of their 
emergency nature, or limited scope and temporary effectiveness.
    The following regulations were placed in effect temporarily during 
the period October 1, 1998 and December 31, 1998, unless otherwise 
indicated.

    Dated: March 30, 1999.
Pamela M. Pelcovits,
Chief, Office of Regulations and Administrative Law.
