SUMMARY: The Coast Guard will enforce the Delaware River, Philadelphia,

regulated area for this event in Philadelphia, PA. During the 
enforcement period, the operator of any vessel in the regulated area 
must comply with directions from the Patrol Commander or any Official 
Patrol displaying a Coast Guard ensign.

DATES: The regulation 33 CFR 165.506 will be enforced for the location 
identified in entry 10 of table 1 to paragraph (h)(1) from 7:45 p.m.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard will enforce the safety zone 
in table 1 to paragraph (h)(1) to 33 CFR 165.506, entry 10 for the 
Mexican Independence Day fireworks display from 7:45 p.m. through 8:45 
p.m. on September 18, 2022. This action is necessary to ensure safety 
of life on the navigable waters of the United States immediately prior 
to, during, and immediately after the fireworks display. Our regulation 
for safety zones of fireworks displays in the Fifth Coast Guard 
District, table 1 to paragraph (h)(1) to 33 CFR 165.506, entry 10 
specifies the location of the regulated area as all waters of Delaware 
River, adjacent to Penn's Landing, Philadelphia, PA, within a 500-yard 
radius of the fireworks barge position. The approximate position for 
the fireworks barge is latitude 39[deg]56'50'' N, longitude 
075[deg]08'18'' W. During the enforcement period, as reflected in Sec.  
165.506(d), vessels may not enter, remain in, or transit through the 
safety zone unless authorized by the Captain of the Port or designated 
Coast Guard patrol personnel on-scene.
    In addition to this notice of enforcement in the Federal Register, 
the Coast Guard will provide notification of this enforcement period 
via broadcast notice to mariners.
