This action is necessary to ensure safety of life on navigable waters

the Fifth Coast Guard District identifies the regulated area for this 
fireworks display event. During the enforcement period, no person or 
vessel may enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within the 
regulated area without approval from the Captain of the Port or a 
designated representative.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard will enforce the safety zone 
in 33 CFR 165.506 from 5:30 p.m. until 1 a.m. on July 2, 2016, for the 
Urbanna Creek, VA fireworks display. This action is being taken to 
provide for the safety of life on navigable waterways during this 
event. Our regulation for Recurring Marine Events within the Fifth 
Coast Guard District, Sec.  165.506, specifies the location of the 
regulated area for this safety zone as a circular shaped area that 
includes all waters of Urbanna Creek within a 350 foot radius of the 
fireworks launch site at latitude 37[deg]38'09'' N., longitude 
076[deg]34'03'' W., located on land near the east shoreline of Urbanna 
Creek and south of Bailey Point. As specified in Sec.  165.506(d), 
during the enforcement period, no vessel may not enter, remain in, or 
transit through the safety zone without approval from the Captain of 
the Hampton Roads (COTP) or a COTP designated representative. The Coast 
Guard may be assisted by other Federal, state or local law enforcement 
agencies in enforcing this regulation. If the Captain of the Port or 
his designated on-scene Patrol Commander determines that the regulated 
area need not be enforced for the full duration stated in this notice, 
he or she may use a Broadcast Notice to Mariners to grant general 
permission to enter the regulated area.
    This notice of enforcement is issued under authority of 33 CFR 
165.506(d) and 5 U.S.C. 552(a). In addition to this notice of 
enforcement in the Federal Register, the Coast Guard plans to provide 
notification of this enforcement period via the Local Notice to 
Mariners, marine information broadcasts, local radio stations and area 
newspapers.
