What the agency says
The Coast Guard is proposing to update the location and description of a safety zone, and add two annually recurring dates, for events at the Kemah Board Walk Fireworks Display, in the Upper Galveston Bay in Kemah, Texas. The safety zone is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards created by the fireworks show. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port, Sector Houston-Galveston, or a designated representative. The purpose of this safety zone is to ensure no members of the public will be within the fallout radius from the fireworks show taking place, this will reduce the probability of any injuries or damage due to the inherent danger of launching fireworks from a barge. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
