Coast Guard Simplifies Detroit Area Event Safety Rules
Published Date: 5/5/2026
Rule
Summary
The Coast Guard is tidying up its safety zone rules for annual events in the Detroit area by splitting one big list into two smaller, clearer ones based on location. This makes it easier for everyone—boaters, event organizers, and enforcement officers—to find and follow the rules. No event dates, times, or costs are changing, and the update kicks in on May 5, 2026.

Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Safety-zone Table Split and Renumbering
The Coast Guard split one large safety-zone table into two, putting Sector Detroit zones in Table 1 and Marine Safety Unit Toledo zones in a new Table 2. It moves existing entries numbered (35) through (51) into the new Table 2 and renumbers them (1) through (17); the tables are reformatted for clarity. This administrative change is effective May 5, 2026.
No Change to Event Dates/Times/Locations
The final rule makes only technical and organizational edits and does not change any safety zone locations, dates, times, or enforcement provisions. If you are a boater or event organizer in the listed areas, your existing obligations and event schedules remain the same; this remains effective May 5, 2026.
