Description

This document provides notification of substantive rules issued by the Coast Guard that were made temporarily effective but expired before they could be published in the Federal Register. It lists temporary safety zones, security zones, and special local regulations, all of limited duration and for which timely publication was not possible. The document also announces notifications of enforcement for existing recurring regulations that were issued but could not be published before the enforcement period ended. These rules primarily became effective between October 2024 and December 2024. Mariners were notified of these rules through other means such as Local Notices to Mariners and Coast Guard patrol vessels prior to enforcement.
