The Coast Guard is proposing to establish a temporary moving safety zone and two temporary fixed safety zones to support the arrival and dismantling of the EX ENTERPRISE, formerly the USS ENTERPRISE (CVN- 65), in the Sector Mobile Captain of the Port Zone. This proposed rulemaking would prohibit persons and vessels from entering these zones unless authorized by the Captain of the Port, Sector Mobile. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
