## Summary

The Coast Guard wants to create moving safety zones around ships carrying big, oversized cargo in the busy Los Angeles-Long Beach port to keep everyone safe and avoid traffic jams in the water. These zones will block other boats and people from getting too close unless they get special permission. If you have thoughts, speak up by February 18, 2025!

## Abstract

The Coast Guard is proposing to establish moving safety zones around vessels carrying oversized cargo within the Los Angeles-Long Beach Port Complex in San Pedro Bay. Safety zones around vessels carrying oversized cargo during movements within the port complex would ensure navigational safety and minimize mishaps disrupting the navigational channels. Entry of persons or vessels into these safety zones would be prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port (COTP) Los Angeles-Long Beach or their designated representative. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
