II. Background, and Purpose
In the past twelve months, there have been two suspicious activities that required immediate response actions to safeguard the personnel and property of the Base Los Angeles-Long Beach on Terminal Island within the main channel of Los Angeles Harbor (Coast Guard base). To help address this threat in a proactive manner, we are requesting comments on establishing a security zone. This proposed security zone could enable adequate response activities and limit unnecessary introduction of security hazards to U.S. Government property and personnel. The Coast Guard is considering proposing a security zone extending alongside Terminal Island within the bounds of the Coast Guard Base with a 50-yard radius within the Los Angeles Main Channel in San Pedro Bay, CA. No vessels will be able to loiter or anchor within this area, if established. IV. Information Requested To appropriately secure the Coast Guard Base while considering public use of the surrounding area, we are requesting your comments prior to publishing a proposed rule. We request comments on the proposed establishment of a security zone for navigable waters within a 50-yard radius of Base Los Angeles-Long Beach on Terminal Island within the main channel of Los Angeles Harbor. This proposed action would provide for the security of Coast Guard personnel, vessels, and property. We seek your comments on establishment of a proposed security zone and the proposed 50-yard radius. Do you agree or disagree with the proposed radius and location of the zone? If not, what is your proposed distance of the zone from shore? Do you have any suggested alternatives?
