Special Local Regulation; L'HERMIONE Parade, Upper New York Bay and Lower Hudson River, New York, NY

The Coast Guard is establishing a Special Local Regulation on the navigable waters of the Upper New York Bay and Lower Hudson River, NY for the tall ship L'HERMIONE boat parade. This Special Local Regulation allows the Coast Guard to enforce restrictions on all vessel traffic through the Special Local Regulation during the L'HERMIONE boat parade, both planned and unforeseen, that could pose an imminent hazard to persons and vessels operating in the area. This rule is necessary to provide for the safety of life on the navigable waters during the parade of ships. The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule due to the exigent circumstances and invites comments to modify or amend the rule, as necessary.
