SUMMARY: This rulemaking project was initiated to establish a temporary
safety zone in Hempstead Harbor, New York, for the Grande Fiesta
Italiana Fireworks Program. On August 14, 1995, the Coast Guard was
notified that the location of the fireworks program was changed to a
point on land. Due to the change in location, a safety zone is no
longer required. Therefore, the Coast Guard is terminating further
rulemaking under docket number CGD01-95-123.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background and Purpose
On August 9, 1995, the Coast Guard published a Notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register (60 FR 40543). The proposal
was to establish a temporary safety zone in all waters of Hempstead
Harbor, shore to shore, within a 300 yard radius of a fireworks barge
anchored approximately 300 yards north of Bar Beach, Port Washington,
New York, at or near 40 deg.49'52'' N Latitude, 073 deg.39'10'' W
longitude (NAD 1983). The safety zone was to be in effect from 9 p.m.
until 10:15 p.m. on September 10, 1995, unless extended or terminated
sooner by the Captain of the Port New York. No comments were received
in response to the NPRM.
On August 14, 1995, Fireworks by Grucci, Inc. informed the Coast
Guard that the location of the fireworks program was changed from
Hempstead Harbor to a point on land in the vicinity of Bar Beach, Port
Washington, New York. The fireworks program will no longer require a
safety zone. Therefore, this rulemaking is no longer necessary and the
Coast Guard is terminating further rulemaking under docket number
CGD01-95-123.
Dated: September 6, 1995.

Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port New York.
