[USCG-2004-16938]


Quarterly Listings; Safety Zones, Security Zones, Special Local 
Regulations and Drawbridge Operation Regulations

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of temporary rules issued.

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

SUMMARY: This document provides required notice of substantive rules 
issued by the Coast Guard and temporarily effective between October 1, 
2003 and December 31, 2003, that were not published in the Federal 
Register. This quarterly notice lists temporary local regulations, 
drawbridge operation regulations, security zones, and safety zones, all 
of limited duration and for which timely publication in the Federal 
Register was not possible.

DATES: This notice is effective January 29, 2004.

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 
LT Jeff Bray, Office of Regulations and Administrative Law, telephone 
(202) 267-2830. For questions on viewing, or on submitting material to 
the docket, contact Andrea M. Jenkins, Program Manager, Docket 
Operations, telephone 202-366-0271.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Coast Guard District Commanders and Captains 
of the Port (COTP) must be immediately responsive to the safety and 
security needs 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 prevent injury or damage to 
vessels, ports, or waterfront facilities and may also describe a zone 
around a vessel in motion. Special local regulations are issued to 
enhance the safety of participants and spectators at regattas and other 
marine events. Drawbridge operation regulations authorize changes to 
drawbridge schedules to accommodate bridge repairs, seasonal vessel 
traffic, and local public events. Timely publication of these rules in 
the Federal Register is often precluded when a rule responds to an 
emergency, or when an event occurs without sufficient advance notice. 
The affected public is, however, informed of these rules 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 rule. 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, drawbridge operation regulations, security zones, or 
safety zones by Coast Guard officials on-scene prior to any 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 special local regulations, 
security zones, safety zones and temporary drawbridge operation 
regulations. Permanent rules are not included in this list because they 
are published in their entirety in the Federal Register. Temporary 
rules are also 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, security zones and drawbridge 
operation regulations listed in this notice have been exempted from 
review under Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, 
because of their emergency nature, or limited scope and temporary 
effectiveness.
    The following rules were placed in effect temporarily during the 
period from October 1, 2003, through December 31, 2003, unless 
otherwise indicated.

    Dated: January 22, 2004
S.G. Venckus,
Chief, Office of Regulations and Administrative Law.
