Safety Zones; Recurring Events in Captain of the Port Duluth Zone
§ 01 Summary
The Coast Guard proposes to revise its recurring safety-zone regulations for annual marine events in the Captain of the Port Duluth Zone. Instead of enforcing certain zones only at fixed published coordinates, the Captain of the Port could announce enforcement in the vicinity of those coordinates to account for event-location variation.
§ 02 Why this matters
The proposal would alter where recurring safety zones may be enforced, requiring vessel operators to comply with Coast Guard notices restricting entry or movement near annual marine events. Because it is a proposed adjustment to existing recurring zones rather than a new broad regulatory program, its compliance impact is operational but limited.

Type: Proposed Rule Agencies: Homeland Security Department; Coast Guard Citation: 91 FR 32911 Title: Safety Zones; Recurring Events in Captain of the Port Duluth Zone Abstract: The Coast Guard is proposing to revise existing regulations for recurring safety zones in the Captain of the Port Duluth Zone. The proposed changes would allow for limited geographic flexibility in the location of recurring safety zones for certain annual marine events. This proposed rulemaking is intended to permit the Captain of the Port Marine Safety Unit Duluth to provide notification of enforcement of recurring safety zones in the vicinity of published coordinates, rather than requiring enforcement at a fixed point. The safety zones are needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards associated with these events. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
