SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
District Commanders and Captains of the Port (COTP) must be immediately responsive to the safety and security needs of the waters within their jurisdiction; therefore, District Commanders and COTPs have been delegated the authority to issue certain local regulations. Safety zones may be established for safety or environmental purposes. Security zones limit access to vessels, ports, or waterfront facilities to prevent injury or damage. Safety and security zones may be stationary and described by fixed limits or it may be described as a zone around a vessel in motion. Timely publication of these regulations in the Federal Register is often precluded when a regulation responds to an emergency, or when an event occurs without sufficient advance notice. The affected public is, however, informed of these regulations through Local Notices to Mariners, press releases, and other means. Moreover, actual notification is provided by Coast Guard patrol vessels enforcing the restrictions imposed by the regulation. Because Federal Register publication was not possible before the beginning of the effective period, mariners were personally notified of the contents of these special local regulations, security zones, or safety zones by Coast Guard officials on-scene prior to the enforcement action. However, the Coast Guard, by law, must publish in the Federal Register notice of substantive rules adopted. To meet this obligation without imposing undue expense on the public, the Coast Guard periodically publishes a list of these temporary security zones and safety zones. Permanent regulations are not included in this list because they are published in their entirety in the Federal Register . Temporary regulations may also be published in their entirety if sufficient time is available to do so before they are placed in effect or terminated. The safety zones and security zones listed in this notice have been exempted from review under Executive Order 12866 because of their emergency nature, or limited scope and temporary effectiveness.
The following regulations were placed in effect temporarily during the period from July 1, 2001 through March 31, 2002, unless otherwise indicated. This notice also includes regulations that were not received in time to be included on the quarterly notice for the third and fourth quarter of 2001.
