Action
Temporary final rule; request for comments.
Summary
The Coast Guard will be maintaining temporary security zones in the Captain of the Port Miami area for national security reasons to protect the public and ports from potential subversive acts. Similar security zones have been in effect under temporary rules following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. While this temporary rule is in effect, the Coast Guard will engage in notice and comment rulemaking to propose that these security zones be made permanent. Entry into these zones will be prohibited, unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port, Miami, Florida, or his designated representative.
