Register. This quarterly notice lists temporary special local 
regulations, temporary drawbridge operation regulations, regulated 
navigation areas, security zones, and safety zones, all of limited 
duration and for which timely publication in the Federal Register was 
not possible.

DATES: This document lists temporary Coast Guard rules that became 
effective and were terminated between 30 April 2007 and 30 June 2008.

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. Regulated Navigation Areas are water 
areas within a defined boundary for which regulations for vessels 
navigating within the area have been established by the regional Coast 
Guard District Commander. 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, 
regulated navigation area regulations, or safety zones by local 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, 
safety zones, regulated navigation areas, and 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, regulated 
navigation areas, 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 30 April 2007, through 30 June 2008, unless otherwise 
indicated.

    Dated: October 3, 2008.
S. G. Venckus,
Chief, Office of Regulations and Administrative Law.
