SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
On October 4, 2013 fireworks will be launched from a barge located
in Shallowbag Bay in Manteo, North Carolina as part of the Outer Banks
Bluegrass Festival. The temporary safety zone created by this rule is
necessary to ensure the safety of vessels and spectators from hazards
associated with the fireworks display. Such hazards include
obstructions to the waterway that may cause death, serious bodily harm,
or property damage, as well as the accidental discharge of fireworks,
dangerous projectiles, and falling hot embers or other debris.
Establishing a safety zone to control vessel movement around the
location of the launch area will help ensure the safety of persons and
property in the vicinity of this event and help minimize the associated
risks.
B. Need for Correction
The Coast Guard published a document in the Federal Register on
July 5, 2013, for this temporary safety zone (78 FR 40394). In that
document it was incorrectly mentioned to add temporary Sec. 165.T05-
0494. The correct entry should have read to add Sec. 165.T05-0330.
This document, and the List of Subjects below, corrects that
discrepancy.
List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 165
Harbors, Marine safety, Navigation (water), Reporting and
recordkeeping requirements, Security measures, and Waterways.
For the reasons discussed in the preamble, the Coast Guard amends
33 CFR part 165 as follows:
