Safety Zones; Annual Events in the Captain of the Port Zone Buffalo

Zusammenfassung

The Coast Guard is revising its safety zone regulations for annually recurring firework displays and marine events within the Captain of the Port Zone Buffalo. The safety zones revised or established by this final rule are necessary to protect the surrounding public, spectators, participants, and vessels from the hazards associated with fireworks displays, hydroplane boat races, and other events of a similar nature posing a potential hazard to the safety of life and property on the navigable waters. This final rule is intended to restrict vessels from designated areas on navigable waterways during these events.
