DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
Coast Guard
33 CFR Parts 100 and 165
[USCG-2003-15813]
Safety Zones, Security Zones, and Special Local 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 April 1,
2003 and June 30, 2003, that were not published in the Federal
Register. This quarterly notice lists temporary local 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 April 1, 2003 and June 30, 2003.
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 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

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For questions on this notice, contact
LT 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 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.
[[Page 47238]]
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 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 are 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 April 1, 2003, through June 30, 2003, unless otherwise
indicated.
Dated: August 4, 2003.
S.G. Venckus,
Chief, Office of Regulations and Administrative Law.
