[[Page 56036]]

SUMMARY: This document provides required notice of substantive rules 
issued by the Coast Guard and temporarily effective between April 1, 
2001 and June 30, 2001 which were not published in the Federal 
Register. This quarterly notice lists temporary local regulations, 
security zones, and safety zones 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 April 1, 2001 and June 30, 2001. 
This notice also lists regulations that were effective and terminated 
between January 1, 2001, and March 31, 2001.

ADDRESSES: The Docket Management Facility maintains the public docket

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: District Commanders and Captains of the Port 
(COTP) must be immediately responsive to the safety and security 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. 
The affected public is, however, 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 Federal Register 
publication was not possible before the beginning of the effective 
period, mariners were personally notified of the contents of these 
special local regulations, security zones, or safety zones by Coast 
Guard officials on-scene prior to enforcement action. However, the 
Coast Guard, by law, must publish 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 April 1, 2001 and June 30, 2001, unless otherwise indicated. 
This notice also includes regulations that were not received in time to 
be included on the quarterly notice for the first quarter of 2001.

    Dated: November 1, 2001.
