DOT/USCG RIN: 2115-AA97 Publication ID: Spring 2002 
Title: Safety/Security Zone Regulations 
Abstract: The Coast Guard uses these routine and frequent regulations to establish control of access to areas to ensure the safety or security of events, vessels, waterfront facilities, or individuals. Many of these zones are of short duration, ranging from a few hours to a few days, and all are geographically limited in area. Safety zones are established for events such as fireworks displays, high speed races, or the transit of dangerous cargoes such as explosives or liquefied petroleum gas. Security zones are established for Presidential or Vice Presidential visits, high profile events such as the Olympics, controversial events such as transport of spent nuclear fuel, and in response to the threat of terrorist attacks. Safety and security zones are promulgated by Captains of the Port or District Commanders. These routine and frequent rulemakings support the Coast Guard's strategic goals of marine safety, mobility, maritime security, and national defense. Total actions expected 10/01/2001 to 10/01/2002: 350.
