Abstract

The Coast Guard is proposing to amend its safety zones for fireworks displays in the USCG East District by adding safety zones for three recurring events and amending one recurring event located in the Virginia Captain of the Port Zone. This Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) would provide for the safety of life on the navigable waters at the confluence of the James River and the Appomattox River, on the Hampton River, on the East River, and on the Elizabeth River at Town Point Reach during firework displays which are typically held on each of those rivers annually.
