Summary

The Coast Guard proposes to amend the existing recurring fireworks safety zone on the Delaware River adjacent to Penn's Landing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The amendment would allow the Coast Guard to enforce the safety zone at this location throughout the entire year. The Coast Guard would notify the public of upcoming enforcement of the zone through publication of a Notice of Enforcement in the Federal Register and Broadcast Notice to Mariners. This change would expedite public notification of events at the location and ensure the protection of the maritime public and event participants from the hazards associated with fireworks displays in the Delaware River adjacent to Penn's Landing. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
