SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Coast Guard will enforce the safety zone in table 1 to
paragraph (h)(1) to 33 CFR 165.506, entry 1 for a barge-based fireworks
display from 9 p.m. through 10 p.m. on July 4, 2023, or a rain date of
July 5, 2023. This action is necessary to ensure safety of life on the
navigable waters of the United States immediately prior to, during, and
immediately after the fireworks display. Our regulation for safety
zones of fireworks displays in the Fifth Coast Guard District, table 1
to paragraph (h)(1) to 33 CFR 165.506, entry 1, specifies the location
of the regulated area as all waters of the North Atlantic Ocean, in the
vicinity of the shoreline at Avalon, NJ, within a 500-yard radius of
the fireworks barge position. The approximate position for the
fireworks barge is latitude 39[deg]06'17.96'' N, longitude
074[deg]42'05.47'' W. During the enforcement period, as reflected in
Sec. 165.506(d), vessels may not enter, remain in, or transit through
the safety zone unless authorized by the Captain of the Port or
designated Coast Guard patrol personnel on-scene.
In addition to this notice of enforcement in the Federal Register,
the Coast Guard will provide notification of this enforcement period
via Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
Dated: May 30, 2023.
