Safety Zones; Annual Firework Displays Within the Captain of the Port, Puget Sound Area of Responsibility

الملخص

The Coast Guard is establishing permanent safety zones to ensure public safety during annual firework displays at various locations in the Captain of the Port (COTP), Puget Sound Area of Responsibility (AOR). When these safety zones are activated, and thus subject to enforcement, this rule restricts the movement of vessels within the established firework display areas. This action is necessary to prevent injury and to protect life and property of the maritime public from the hazards associated with firework displays. Entry into, transit through, mooring, or anchoring within these zones during times of enforcement is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port, Puget Sound or Designated Representative.
