Rivers Casino Fireworks display 8:45 p.m. through 10 p.m. on July 3, 
2022. This action is necessary to ensure safety of life on the

During the enforcement period, as reflected in Sec.  165.506(d),

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.
