33 CFR Part 165
[Docket No. USCG-2017-0374]
Safety Zone; Southern California Annual Fireworks for the San
Diego Captain of the Port Zone
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Notice of enforcement of regulation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard will enforce a safety zone for the Sea World
Fireworks on the waters of Mission Bay, CA on specific evenings from
Memorial Day to Labor Day in 2017. This safety zone is necessary to
provide for the safety of the participants, spectators, official
vessels of the events, and general users of the waterway. Our
regulation for the Southern California annual fireworks for the San
Diego Captain of the Port Zone identifies the regulated area for the
events. During the enforcement period, no spectators shall anchor,
block, loiter in, or impede the transit of official patrol vessels in
the regulated area without the approval of the Captain of the Port, or
his designated representative.
DATES: The regulations in 33 CFR 165.1123, Table 1, Item 7, will be
enforced from 8:30 p.m. through 10:30 p.m. on June 30 through July 5,
and September 1 through September 4, 2017.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this
publication, call or email Lieutenant Robert Cole, Waterways
Management, U.S. Coast Guard Sector San Diego, CA; telephone 619-278-
7656, email [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard will enforce the regulations
in 33 CFR 165.1123 for a safety zone for the Sea World Fireworks on the
waters of Mission Bay, CA in 33 CFR 165.1123, Table 1, Item 7 of that
section, from 8:30 p.m. through 10:30 p.m. on specific evenings from
Memorial Day to Labor Day in 2017. This action is being taken to
provide for the safety of life on navigable waterways during the
fireworks events. Our regulation for Southern California annual
fireworks events for the San Diego Captain of the Port Zone identifies
the regulated area for the events. Under the provisions of 33 CFR
165.1123, a vessel may not enter the regulated area, unless it receives
permission from the Captain of the Port, or his designated
representative. Spectator vessels may safely transit outside the
regulated area but may not anchor, block, loiter, or impede the transit
of participants or official patrol vessels. The Coast Guard may be
assisted by other Federal, State, or Local law enforcement agencies in
enforcing this regulation.
This document is issued under authority of 33 CFR 165.1123 and 5
U.S.C. 552(a). In addition to this document in the Federal Register,
the Coast Guard will provide the maritime community with advance
notification of this enforcement period via the Local Notice to
Mariners, a Safety Marine Information Broadcast on VHF-FM radio, and
local advertising by the event sponsor.
If the Captain of the Port or his designated representative
determines that the regulated area need not be enforced for the full
duration stated on this document, he or she may use a Broadcast Notice
to Mariners or other communications coordinated with the event sponsor
to grant general permission to enter the regulated area.
Dated: May 24, 2017.
J.R. Buzzella,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port San Diego.
