Special Local Regulation; 4th of July Fireworks, East River and Upper New York Bay, Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn, NY

Streszczenie

The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary special local regulation (SLR) for certain navigable waters of the East River and Upper New York Bay, in New York Harbor, NY. The SLR is needed to provide for the safety of life on these highly congested waterways immediately before, during, and after a 4th of July fireworks display. The rule controls vessel movement, creates spectator zones, establishes an exclusion zone near launch sites and prohibits entry into moving protection zones around transiting fireworks barges unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port, Sector New York, or their designated representative.
