Coast Guard Publishes List of Temporary Water Restrictions from July to September 2024
/ 1 min read
Table of Contents
The Coast Guard is publishing a list of temporary rules that went into effect between July and September 2024 but were not printed in the Federal Register when they started. These rules created safety zones, security zones, and special local regulations in ports and waterways across the country. The agency is releasing this list now to meet the legal requirement to document substantive rules after the fact.
Why it matters: This is mostly administrative. The rules listed here are already in the past, so there is no new compliance requirement for the public. The publication satisfies the Coast Guard’s obligation to record temporary restrictions that were enforced without prior Federal Register notice. Mariners or event organizers who need to verify the scope of past restrictions or check historical enforcement data may find the list useful.
Who it affects
- Mariners and boaters who were in the listed locations during the specified dates in July and September 2024.
This notice comes from the U.S. Coast Guard, Office of Regulations and Administrative Law; readers relying on the details of specific zones should consult the full document at regulations.gov using the docket number USCG-2025-0345.
