The Coast Guard adds three new permanent fireworks safety zones to its East District

The Coast Guard is proposing to make three temporary fireworks safety zones permanent in its East District. This means event organizers will no longer need to apply for temporary safety zones each year for these specific fireworks displays.

The Coast Guard regularly establishes temporary safety zones for events like fireworks displays, which requires event organizers to apply for them repeatedly. By making these zones permanent, the Coast Guard reduces its own administrative burden and simplifies planning for recurring events. This small change makes it easier for specific local events to happen year after year.
