2019 Quarterly Listings; Safety Zones, Security Zones, and 
Special Local Regulations

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notification of expired temporary rules issued.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document provides notification of substantive rules 
issued by the Coast Guard that were made temporarily effective but 
expired before they could be published in the Federal Register. This 
document lists temporary safety zones, security zones, and special 
local regulations, all of limited duration

[[Page 6429]]

and for which timely publication in the Federal Register was not 
possible.

DATES: This document lists temporary Coast Guard rules that became 
effective, primarily between October 2019 and December 2019, unless 
otherwise indicated, and were terminated before they could be published 
in the Federal Register.

ADDRESSES: Temporary rules listed in this document may be viewed 
online, under their respective docket numbers, using the Federal 
eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For questions on this document contact 
Yeoman First Class Glenn Grayer, Office of Regulations and 
Administrative Law, telephone (202) 372-3862.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Coast Guard District Commanders and Captains 
of the Port (COTP) must be immediately responsive to the safety and 
security needs within their jurisdiction; therefore, District 
Commanders and COTPs have been delegated the authority to issue certain 
local regulations. Safety zones may be established for safety or 
environmental purposes. A safety zone may be stationary and described 
by fixed limits or it may be described as a zone around a vessel in 
motion. Security zones limit access to prevent injury or damage to 
vessels, ports, or waterfront facilities. Special local regulations are 
issued to enhance the safety of participants and spectators at regattas 
and other marine events.
    Timely publication of these rules in the Federal Register may be 
precluded when a rule responds to an emergency, or when an event occurs 
without sufficient advance notice. The affected public is, however, 
often informed of these rules through Local Notices to Mariners, press 
releases, and other means. Moreover, actual notification is provided by 
Coast Guard patrol vessels enforcing the restrictions imposed by the 
rule. Because Federal Register publication was not possible before the 
end of the effective period, mariners were personally notified of the 
contents of the safety zones, security zones, or special local 
regulations listed in this notice by Coast Guard officials on-scene 
prior to any enforcement action. However, the Coast Guard, by law, must 
publish in the Federal Register notice of substantive rules adopted. To 
meet this obligation without imposing undue expense on the public, the 
Coast Guard periodically publishes a list of these temporary safety 
zones, security zones, and special local regulations. Permanent rules 
are not included in this list because they are published in their 
entirety in the Federal Register. Temporary rules are also published in 
their entirety if sufficient time is available to do so before they are 
placed in effect or terminated.
