Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 165

[USCG-2002-12227]


Safety Zones and Security Zones

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of temporary rules issued.

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

SUMMARY: This document provides required notice of substantive rules 
issued by the Coast Guard and temporarily effective between July 1, 
2001 and March 31, 2002, which were not published in the Federal 
Register. This quarterly notice lists temporary local regulations 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 July 1, 2001 and March 31, 2002.

ADDRESSES: The Docket Management Facility maintains the public docket 
for this notice. Documents indicated in this notice will be available 
for inspection or copying at the Docket Management Facility, U.S. 
Department of Transportation, Room PL-401, 400 Seventh Street SW., 
Washington, DC 20593-0001 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through 
Friday, except Federal Holidays. You may electronically access the 
public docket for this notice on the Internet at http://dms.dot.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For questions on this notice, contact 
LTJG Sean Fahey, Office of Regulations and Administrative Law, 
telephone (202) 267-2830. For questions on viewing, or on submitting 
material to the docket, contact Dorothy Beard, Chief, Dockets, 
Department of Transportation (202) 366-5149.

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. Security zones limit access to vessels, ports, 
or waterfront facilities to prevent injury or damage. Safety and 
security zones may be stationary and described by fixed limits or it 
may be described as a zone around a vessel in motion. 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 the 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 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 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 from July 1, 2001 through March 31, 2002, unless otherwise 
indicated. This notice also includes regulations that were not received 
in time to be included on the quarterly notice for the third and fourth 
quarter of 2001.

    Dated: May 1, 2002.

Chief, Office of Regulations and Administrative Law.
