Regulated Navigation Area; Tampa Bay
The Coast Guard proposes to establish regulations requiring certain vessels to make security broadcasts when approaching or reaching reporting points within Tampa Bay. The required security broadcasts are expected to minimize the hazards associated with navigation in Tampa Bay and enhance safety by making vessel operators aware of the movements of other vessels in the area. This action proposes to establish permanent regulations governing vessel security broadcasts previously followed on a voluntary basis. Required participation in the security broadcast program will help prevent collisions. A permanent rule will provide the widest availability possible to the public and maritime community.
