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 D11MarineEventsSD@uscg.mil.

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.

Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port San Diego.
