SUMMARY: The Coast Guard will enforce the Delaware River, Philadelphia, 
PA; Safety Zone from 9:15 p.m. through 10 p.m. on November 12, 2022, to 
provide for the safety of life on navigable waterways during a barge-

Fifth Coast Guard District identifies the 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.

identified in entry 10 of table 1 to paragraph (h)(1) from 9:15 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 No. 10 for a 
barge based fireworks display from 9:15 p.m. through 10 p.m. on 
November 12, 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 a fireworks display. Our regulation for safety 
zones of fireworks displays within 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 the Delaware River, 
adjacent to Penn's Landing, Philadelphia, PA, within a 500-yard radius 
of the fireworks barge position. The approximate position for the 
display is latitude 39[deg]57'39'' N, longitude 075[deg]07'45'' 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 notification of enforcement in the Federal 
Register, the Coast Guard will provide notification of this enforcement 
period via broadcast notice to mariners.

    Dated: October 26, 2022.
