The Coast Guard is withdrawing its proposed rule to establish temporary special local regulations for certain waters of the Nanticoke River.

Special Local Regulations
East River 4th of July Fireworks, New York, NY
Notice number: 2022-08944
Date: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast Guard on or before May 27, 2022
Coast Guard, DHS.
Notice of proposed rulemaking.
The Coast Guard is proposing to establish a special local regulation on the navigable waters of the East River and New York Harbor, New York, NY, for vessel management for the annual 4th of July fireworks displays. This special local regulation allows the Coast Guard to control vessel movement and prohibit all vessel traffic from entering the fireworks barge buffer zone, establish four separate viewing areas, and a moving protection zone around the barges while they are loaded with pyrotechnics. This rule is necessary to provide for the safety of life on the navigable waters immediately before, during, and after a fireworks display that involves multiple barge launch sites on a highly congested waterway. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
Comments and related material must be received by the Coast Guard on or before May 27, 2022.
You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-2022-0186 using the Federal Decision Making Portal at https://www.regulations.gov. See the “Public Participation and Request for Comments” portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further instructions on submitting comments.
