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?
