33 CFR Parts 100, 117 and 165
[USCG-2002-13968]
Safety Zones, Security Zones, Drawbridge Operation Regulations
and Special Local Regulations
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,
2002 and September 30, 2002, which were not published in the Federal
Register. This quarterly notice lists temporary local regulations,
drawbridge operation 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 rules that became
effective and were terminated between July 1, 2002 and September 30,
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
LT Sean Fahey, Office of Regulations and Administrative Law, at
telephone number (202) 267-2830. For questions on viewing, or on
submitting material to the docket, contact Dorothy Beard, Chief,
Dockets, Department of Transportation at (202) 366-5149.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Coast Guard 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 prevent injury or
damage to vessels, ports, or waterfront facilities. Drawbridge
operation regulations authorize changes to drawbridge schedules to
accommodate bridge repairs, seasonal vessel traffic, and local public
events. Special local regulations are issued to enhance the safety to
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, 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 all 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, drawbridge operation 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
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, drawbridge operation 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 July 1, 2002, and through September 30, 2002, unless
otherwise indicated. This notice also includes rules that were not
received in time to be included on the quarterly notice for the first
and second quarters of 2002.
Dated: November 27, 2002.
S.G. Venckus,
Chief, Office of Regulations and Administrative Law.
