Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
420‑Foot Safety Zone Around Fireworks Barge
You cannot enter the safety zone around the Christmas in July fireworks barge in Henderson Harbor, NY — all waters within a 420-foot radius of the barge at position 43°51'55" N 76°12'23" W are closed during the event held on or around the last weekend in July unless you get permission from the Captain of the Port.
Minimal Economic Effect on Small Entities
The Coast Guard certifies this proposed safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because vessel traffic can transit around the small regulated area, the restriction lasts only a few hours during typically low traffic, the Coast Guard will broadcast notices on VHF FM channel 16, and vessels may request permission to enter.
