    Under the provisions of 33 CFR 165.151, the fireworks displays 
listed above are established as safety zones. During the enforcement 
period, persons and vessels are prohibited from entering into, 
transiting through, mooring, or anchoring within these safety zones 
unless they receive permission from the COTP or designated 
representative.
    This document is issued under authority of 33 CFR 165 and 5 U.S.C. 
552(a). In addition to this notice of enforcement in the Federal 
Register, the Coast Guard will provide the maritime community with 
advance notification of this enforcement period via the Local Notice to 
Mariners or marine information broadcasts. If the COTP determines that 
these safety zones need not be enforced for the full duration stated in 
this notice, a Broadcast Notice to Mariners may be used to grant 
general permission to enter the regulated area.
