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

AGENCY: Cost 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 January 1, 
2004, and March 31, 2004, that were not published in the Federal 
Register. This quarterly notice lists temporary local regulations, 
security zones, and safety zones, all of limited duration and for which 
timely publication in the Federal Register was not possible.

DATES: This document lists temporary Coast Guard rules that became 
effective and were terminated between January 1, 2004, and March 31, 
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.,

Friday, except Federal holidays. You may electronically access the

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. 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, 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 
temporary special local regulations, security zones and safety zones. 
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 and security zones 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 January 1, 2004, through March 31, 2004, unless otherwise 
indicated.

    Dated: April 27, 2004.
S. G. Venckus,
Chief, Office of Regulations and Administrative Law.
