33 CFR Part 165

[Docket No. USCG-2014-0300]

Safety Zones; Annual Fireworks Displays Within the Sector 
Columbia River Captain of the Port Zone

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of enforcement of regulation.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard will enforce the Annual Fireworks Display 
Safety Zones in the Captain of the Port Columbia River Zone. Each 
safety zone will be enforced 1 hour before and 1 hour after each 
scheduled fireworks display described in that rule. The Coast Guard 
will not enforce zones which are intended for fireworks displays that 
are not planned to occur this year. This action is necessary to protect 
watercraft and their occupants from the inherent safety hazards 
associated with fireworks displays. During the enforcement period, no 
person or vessel may enter or remain in the safety zone without 
permission from the Sector Columbia River Captain of the Port.

DATES: The regulations in 33 CFR 165.1315 will be enforced 1 hour 
before

and 1 hour each event listed in the table in 33 CFR 165.1315(a).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this notice 
of enforcement, call or email Mr. Ken Lawrenson, Waterways Management 
Division, MSU Portland, Coast Guard; telephone 503-240-9319, email 
MSUPDXWWM@uscg.mil.

enforced for the full duration stated in this notice of enforcement, he 
may use a Broadcast Notice to Mariners to grant general permission to 
enter the regulated area.
