🎇Special Local Regulation for 4th of July Fireworks in New York
The Coast Guard is establishing a special local regulation on the navigable waters of the Lower East River and New York Harbor, NY, for a 4th of July fireworks display. This special local regulation allows the Coast Guard to control vessel movement and prohibit all vessel traffic from entering the fireworks barge buffer zone and establish four separate viewing areas. This rule is necessary to provide for the safety of life on the navigable waters immediately before, during, and after a fireworks display on a highly congested waterway.
