Abstract
The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for navigable waters within a 500 yard radius from a fireworks barge located near Town Point Park in Norfolk, VA. The purpose of this rulemaking is to ensure the safety of persons, vessels, and the navigable waters within close proximity to fireworks displays before, during, and after the scheduled events. Hazards with this event include potential falling debris and possible fire, explosion, projectile, and burn hazards. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port (COTP) Virginia.
