I. SPECIAL NOTICE

WASHINGTON - ELLIOTT BAY - SPECIAL LOCAL REGULATIONS - Annual National
Maritime Week Tugboat Race -

The Coast Guard is adopting permanent special local regulations for the
annual National Maritime Week Tugboat Races in Seattle, Washington. This
event is held each year on the third Saturday in May on the waters of
Elliott Bay. In the past, the Coast Guard has established a safety zone
each year to protect the safety of life on the navigable waters during
this event. However, because the event recurs annually, the Coast Guard
has established a permanent regulation in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) to better inform the boating public.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective on 17 May 1996.

ADDRESSES: Unless otherwise indicated, documents referred to in this
preamble are available for inspection or copying at U.S. Coast Guard
Group Seattle, Operations Division, Building One, Room 130, 1519 Alaskan
Way South, Seattle, WA. Normal office hours are between 0700 local and
1600 local Monday through Friday, except federal holidays. The telephone
number is (206)217-6138.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: LT Ben White, Assistant Operations
Officer, U.S. Coast Guard Group Seattle, (206)217-6138.

USA - U.S. COAST GUARD AUXILIARY - Pyrotechnics Training -

The Coast Guard has recently changed its policy concerning Coast Guard
Auxiliary use of expired and unexpended pyrotechnics for training:
Auxiliarists may use for training, expired U.S. Coast Guard approved
flares and pyrotechnics. These pyrotechnics are authorized for training
use only during the five (5) year period following their expiration
date. It is important to note that the Coast Guard Auxiliary has never
been required to accept expired and unexpended pyrotechnics. However, as
a service to the mariner and for their training use, Auxiliary Flotillas
may again collect the flares on a case by case basis. In the event that
the mariner is unable to locate a Coast Guard Auxiliarist willing to
collect expired marine flares for their training use, the Coast Guard
suggests contacting your local police, state patrol, sheriff or fire
departments for assistance in the disposal of pyrotechnics on which the
expiration date has passed.
