Safety Zones; Rocket Launches in the Gulf of America and South Bay, Boca Chica Beach, TX

摘要

The Coast Guard proposes to establish two permanent safety zones to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards created by commercial spaceflight activities. The proposed permanent safety zones are located in navigable waters of South Bay, TX and in navigable waters of the Gulf of America. This proposed rulemaking would prohibit persons and vessels from being in the safety zones during scheduled launches, unless authorized by the Captain of the Port, Sector Corpus Christi (COTP) or a designated representative. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
