ACTION: Notice of expired temporary rules issued.

limited duration and for which timely publication in the Federal 
Register was not possible.

effective and were terminated between May 15, 2006 and January 9, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Coast Guard District Commanders and Captains 
of the Port (COTP) must be immediately responsive to the safety and 
security needs 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. A safety zone may be stationary and described 
by fixed limits or it may be described as a zone around a vessel in 
motion. Special local regulations are issued to enhance the safety of 
participants and spectators at regattas and other marine events. Timely 
publication of these rules in the Federal Register is often precluded 
when a rule responds to an emergency, or when an event occurs without 
sufficient advance notice. The affected public is, however, informed of 
these rules 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 rule. Because 
Federal Register publication was not possible before the beginning of 
the effective period, mariners were personally notified of the contents 
of these safety zones by Coast Guard officials' on-scene prior to any 
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 is publishing a list of expired temporary regulations pertaining 
to the Eighth Coast Guard District, which is headquartered in New 
Orleans, Louisiana. Permanent rules are not included in this list 
because they are published in their entirety in the Federal Register. 
Temporary rules are also published in their entirety if

sufficient time is available to do so before they are placed in effect 
or terminated. The temporary rules listed in this notice have been 
exempted from review under Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning 
and Review, because of their emergency nature, or limited scope and 
temporary effectiveness.
    The following rules were placed in effect temporarily during the 
period between May 2006 and January 2009, unless otherwise indicated.

    Dated: July 28,2009.
S.G. Venckus,
Chief, Office of Regulations and Administrative Law.
