may not enter, remain in, or transit through the safety zone unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port or designated Coast Guard patrol
personnel on scene.

165.506 will be enforced from 6 p.m. through 10 p.m. on each of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard will enforce the safety zone
as described in section (a), row (9) of the table to 33 CFR 165.506
from 6 p.m. through 10:00 p.m. on July 4, July 11, July 18, and July 25
of 2019. The published enforcement period for this event is July 2,
July 3, July 4 or July 5, and every Thursday in August. We are
announcing a change of enforcement date for this year's event with this
notice of enforcement because the events will take place every Thursday

zones of fireworks displays within the Fifth Coast Guard District,

the regulated area as all waters of the Metedeconk River within 300

Brick Township, NJ. As reflected in Sec. 165.506(d), an operator of a
vessel may not enter, remain in, or transit through the safety zone
during the enforcement period unless authorized by the Captain

In addition to this notice of enforcement in the Federal Register,
the Coast Guard will provide notification of the enforcement periods
via broadcast notice to mariners.
