SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: District Commanders and Captains of the Port 
(COTP) must be immediately responsive to the safety 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 vessels, ports, or waterfront facilities to prevent injury or 
damage. Special local regulations are issued to enhance the safety or 
participants and spectators at regattas and other marine events. Timely 
publication of these regulations in the Federal Register is often 
precluded when a regulation responds to an emergency, or when an event 
occurs without sufficient advance notice. However, the affected public 
is informed of these regulations 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 regulation. Because mariners are notified by Coast Guard 
officials on-scene prior to enforcement action, Federal Register notice 
is not required to place the special local regulation, security zone, 
or safety zone in effect. 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 
regulations are not included in this list because they are published in 
their entirety in the Federal Register. Temporary regulations 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 and security zones listed in this notice have 
been exempted from review under Executive Order 12866 because of their 
emergency nature, or limited scope and temporary effectiveness.
    The following regulations were placed in effect temporarily during 
the period January 1, 2001 and March 31, 2001, unless otherwise 
indicated. This notice also includes 3 regulations that were not 
received in time to be included on the quarterly notices for the third 
and fourth quarters of 2000.

    Dated: May 17, 2001.

Chief, Office of Regulations and Administrative Law.
