Temporary final rule.

Summary

The Coast Guard is creating a temporary safety zone on Lake St. Clair near Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan, to protect people, boats, and the environment during an over‑water fireworks display. By restricting vessel and pedestrian access to the designated area, the zone reduces the risk of injury or damage from falling debris, smoke, or other hazards associated with the show. The rule is issued by the Department of Homeland Security’s Coast Guard and applies to anyone who might enter the waters of Lake St. Clair—recreational boaters, commercial vessels, and the general public—unless they receive explicit permission from the Captain of the Port Detroit or an authorized representative. The temporary safety zone becomes effective on September 5, 2026, just three days after the rule’s publication on September 2, 2026. No public comment period is required for this final rule. The Coast Guard will enforce the restriction during the fireworks event, and anyone wishing to enter the zone must request authorization from the Captain of the Port Detroit before the event begins.
