Safety Zones; Annual Events Requiring Safety Zones in the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan Zone

摘要

The Coast Guard is amending the regulations establishing permanent safety zones in the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan zone during annual events. When these safety zones are activated, and thus subject to enforcement, this rule would restrict vessels from portions of water areas during annual events that pose a hazard to public safety. The safety zones established by this rule are necessary to protect spectators, participants, and vessels from the hazards associated with fireworks displays, boat races, and other events.
