2018 Quarterly Listings; Safety Zones, Security Zones, Special 
Local Regulations, Drawbridge Operation Regulations and Regulated 
Navigation Areas

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notification of expired temporary rules issued.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document provides notification of substantive rules 
issued by the Coast Guard that were made temporarily effective but 
expired before they could be published in the Federal Register. This 
document lists temporary safety zones, security zones, special local 
regulations, drawbridge operation regulations and regulated navigation 
areas, all of limited duration and for which timely publication in the 
Federal Register was not possible.

DATES: This document lists temporary Coast Guard rules that became 
effective, primarily during the period between April 2018 and June 
2018, unless otherwise indicated, and were terminated before they could 
be published in the Federal Register.

ADDRESSES: Temporary rules listed in this document may be viewed 
online, under their respective docket numbers, using the Federal 
eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov.

Yeoman First Class David Hager, Office of Regulations and 
Administrative Law, telephone (202) 372-3862.

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. Security zones limit access to prevent injury or damage to 
vessels, ports, or waterfront facilities. Special local regulations are 
issued to enhance the safety of participants and spectators at regattas 
and other marine events. Drawbridge operation regulations authorize 
changes to drawbridge schedules to accommodate bridge repairs, seasonal 
vessel traffic, and local public events. Regulated Navigation Areas are 
water areas within a defined boundary for which regulations for vessels 
navigating within the area have been established by the regional Coast 
Guard District Commander.
    Timely publication of these rules in the Federal Register may be 
precluded when a rule responds to an emergency, or when an event occurs 
without sufficient advance notice. The affected public is, however, 
often informed of

[[Page 44232]]

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 end of the 
effective period, mariners were personally notified of the contents of 
these safety zones, security zones, special local regulations, 
regulated navigation areas or drawbridge operation regulations 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 periodically publishes a 
list of these temporary safety zones, security zones, special local 
regulations, regulated navigation areas and drawbridge operation 
regulations. 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 following unpublished rules were temporarily in effect during 
the period between April 2018 and June 2018, unless otherwise 
indicated. To view copies of these rules, visit www.regulations.gov and 
search by the docket number indicated in the following table.
