Summary
The Coast Guard is proposing new safety rules for a large floating tube event (likely a river or coastal recreation activity) happening in western U.S. waters. The regulation sets up controlled zones and traffic rules to keep boats and swimmers safe during this organized event.
Key Points
- 1Creates special water zones where only authorized participants in the 'Great Western Tube Float' event can operate
- 2Establishes speed limits and navigation rules for boats in and around the event area to prevent collisions
- 3Requires event organizers to coordinate with the Coast Guard before the event takes place
- 4Applies to the Eleventh Coast Guard District, which covers California, Hawaii, and other western coastal areas
- 5This is still a proposed rule, meaning the public can submit feedback before the Coast Guard makes it final
