Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, Chicago River, Calumet-Saganashkee 
Channel on all waters of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal between 
Mile Marker 296.1 to Mile Marker 296.7 at specified times from August 
3, 2015, through September 18, 2015. This action is necessary to 
protect the waterway, waterway users, and vessels from the hazards 
associated with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's trial tests on the 
water for the Asian Carp studies.
    During the enforcement periods listed below, entry into, 
transiting, mooring, laying-up or anchoring within the enforced area of 
this safety zone by any person or vessel is prohibited unless 
authorized by the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan or her designated 
representative.

intermittently from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday

[[Page 42037]]

through Friday, from August 3, 2015, through August 14, 2015. In the 
event of a postponement of the trial tests due to inclement weather or 
other unforeseen circumstances, this zone will be enforced 
intermittently from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday through Friday from 
August 24, 2015, through September 18, 2015, excluding September 7, 
2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this 
document, call or email LT Lindsay Cook, Waterways Department, Coast 
Guard Marine Safety Unit Chicago, telephone 630-986-2155, email address

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard will enforce a segment of 
the Safety Zone; Brandon Road Lock and Dam to Lake Michigan including 
Des Plaines River, Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, Chicago River, 
Calumet-Saganashkee Channel, Chicago, IL, listed in 33 CFR 165.930. 
Specifically, the Coast Guard will enforce this safety zone on all 
waters of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal between Mile Marker 296.1 
to Mile Marker 296.7. Enforcement will occur intermittently from 8 a.m. 
to 6 p.m. on Monday through Friday, from August 3, 2015, through August 
14, 2015. In the event of a postponement of the trial tests due to 
inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances, this zone will be 
enforced intermittently from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on August 17, 2015, 
through September 18, 2015, excluding September 7, 2015.
    This enforcement action is necessary because the Captain of the 
Port Lake Michigan has determined that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 
Service's trial tests on the water for Asian Carp studies pose risks to 
life and property. Because of these risks, it is necessary to control 
vessel movement during the operations to prevent injury and property 
loss.
    In accordance with the general regulations in Sec.  165.23 of this 
part, entry into, transiting, mooring, laying up, or anchoring within 
the enforced area of this safety zone by any person or vessel is 
prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan 
or her designated representative.
    Vessels that wish to transit through the safety zone may request 
permission from the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan. Requests must be 
made in advance and approved by the Captain of the Port before transits 
will be authorized. Approvals will be granted on a case by case basis. 
The Captain of the Port representative may be contacted via U.S. Coast 
Guard Sector Lake Michigan on VHF channel 16.
    This document is issued under authority of 33 CFR 165.930 and 5 
U.S.C. 552(a). In addition to this publication in the Federal Register, 
the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan will also provide notice through 
other means, which may include Broadcast Notice to Mariners, Local 
Notice to Mariners, local news media, distribution in leaflet form, and 
on-scene oral notice. Additionally, the Captain of the Port Lake 
Michigan may notify representatives from the maritime industry through 
telephonic and email notifications.
