[Docket Number USCG-2021-0833]


2021 Quarterly Listings; Safety Zones, Security Zones, and 
Special Local Regulations AGENCY: Coast Guard, Department of Homeland 
Security (DHS).

ACTION: Notification of expired temporary rules issued.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document provides notification of substantive rules 
issued by the Coast Guard that were made temporarily effective but 
expired before they could be published in the Federal Register. This 
document lists temporary safety zones, security zones, and special 
local regulations, all of limited duration and for which timely 
publication in the Federal Register was not possible. This document 
also announces notifications of enforcement for existing reoccurring 
regulations that we issued but were unable to be published before the 
enforcement period ended.

DATES: This document lists temporary Coast Guard rules and 
notifications of enforcement that became effective or enforceable, 
primarily between April 2021 and June 2021, unless otherwise indicated, 
and were terminated before they could be published in the Federal 
Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Coast Guard District Commanders and Captains 
of the Port (COTP) must be immediately responsive to the safety and 
security needs within their jurisdiction; therefore, District 
Commanders and COTPs have been delegated the authority to issue certain 
local regulations. Safety zones may be established for safety or 
environmental purposes. A safety zone may be stationary and described 
by fixed limits or it may be described as a zone around a vessel in 
motion. Security zones limit access to prevent injury or damage to 
vessels, ports, or waterfront facilities. Special local regulations are 
issued to enhance the safety of participants and spectators at regattas 
and other marine events.
    Timely publication of these rules in the Federal Register may be 
precluded when a rule responds to an emergency, or when an event occurs 
without sufficient advance notice. The affected public is, however, 
often informed of these rules through Local Notices to Mariners, press 
releases, and other means. Moreover, actual notification is provided by 
Coast Guard patrol vessels enforcing the restrictions imposed by the 
rule. Timely publication of notifications of enforcement of reoccurring 
regulations may be precluded when the event occurs with short notice or 
other agency procedural restraints.
    Because Federal Register publication was not possible before the 
end of the effective or enforcement period, mariners were personally 
notified of the contents of these safety zones, security zones, special 
local regulations, regulated navigation areas, or drawbridge operation 
regulations by Coast Guard officials on-scene prior to any enforcement 
action. However, the Coast Guard, by law, must publish in the Federal 
Register notice of substantive rules adopted. To meet this obligation 
without imposing undue expense on the public, the Coast Guard 
periodically publishes a list of these temporary safety zones, security 
zones, special local regulations, regulated navigation areas, and 
drawbridge operation regulations. Permanent rules are not included in 
this list because they are published in their entirety in the Federal 
Register. Temporary rules are also published in their entirety if 
sufficient time is available to do so before they are placed in effect 
or terminated. In some of our reoccurring regulations, we say we will 
publish a notice of enforcement as one of the means of notifying the 
public. We use this notification to announce those notifications of 
enforcement that we issued and will post them to their dockets.
    The following unpublished rules were placed in effect temporarily 
during the period between April 2021 and June 2021 unless otherwise 
indicated. To view copies of these rules, visit <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a> and
