Safety Zones; Fireworks Displays in the Sector Columbia River Captain of the Port Zone

Özet

The Coast Guard proposes to add twenty four new fireworks events at various locations in the Sector Columbia River Captain of the Port zone. The Coast Guard also proposes to correct the location of some existing fireworks events in the Sector Columbia River Captain of the Port zone. In addition, the Coast Guard proposes to change the format of the existing regulation by using a table to list each fireworks. When these safety zones are activated and subject to enforcement, this rule would limit the movement of vessels within the established firework display areas. These additional safety zones and corrections to existing safety zones are necessary to prevent injury and to protect life and property of the maritime public from hazards associated with fireworks displays.
