[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.

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.
