Proposed rule

Safety Zone; Ohio River, Cincinnati, OH

Built by the Tribune's code from the Federal Register. No AI wrote this page. Published in the Federal Register June 24, 2026. Document 2026-12689. Updated Nov. 9, 2026.

What it does

The Coast Guard is proposing to establish a temporary safety zone for all navigable waters on the Ohio River, from mile marker (MM) 457.5 to MM 456.5 in Cincinnati, Ohio. The safety zone is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards associated with an over water fireworks display. This proposed rulemaking would prohibit persons and vessels from being in the safety zone unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port, Sector Ohio Valley. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
