Temporary final rule.

Summary

The Coast Guard is creating a temporary safety zone that will cover a 100‑yard radius around the Toledo Country Club on the Maumee River (41°35′39.2″ N, 83°35′47.7″ W). The zone is intended to keep boats, people, and the river environment safe during a fireworks display, preventing anyone from entering the area unless they receive specific permission from the Captain of the Port Detroit or an authorized representative. This rule is issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Coast Guard. It applies to all vessels, watercraft operators, and individuals who might otherwise navigate or work in the designated portion of the Maumee River during the event. The regulation becomes effective on September 4, 2026, just two days after its publication in the Federal Register on September 2, 2026. Because the rule is a “temporary final” action, there is no additional public comment period. The Coast Guard will enforce the restriction, and anyone who needs access to the zone must request authorization from the Captain of the Port Detroit before the effective date. After the fireworks event, the safety zone will be lifted and normal river traffic will resume.
