The College Football National Championship game will be held in New Orleans, LA on January 13, 2020. Leading up to the game, multiple events will be taking place on or adjacent to the Lower Mississippi River. In anticipation of these events, the U.S. Coast Guard Captain of the Port New Orleans will be establishing the following safety and security zones:
TEMPORARY SAFETY ZONE - JANUARY 11, 2020
The U.S. Coast Guard Captain of the Port New Orleans, under the authority of the Ports and Waterways Safety Act, will enforce a temporary safety zone, as published in 33 CFR 165. This safety zone will take place on the Lower Mississippi River (LMR) between Mile Marker 94 and Mile Marker 95 Above Head of Passes (AHP). This safety zone is needed to protect persons and vessels from the potential safety hazards associated with a fireworks display. This rule is effective on January 11, 2020, from 10:15 p.m. until 11:15 p.m. local time.
All vessels are prohibited from entering the safety zone unless they have been granted permission by the Captain of the Port New Orleans or a designated representative. Only vessels participating in the fireworks display and predesignated vessels are permitted within the safety zone between 10:15 p.m. until 11:15 p.m. on January 11, 2020.
TEMPORARY SECURITY ZONE - JANUARY 11-13, 2020
The U.S. Coast Guard Captain of the Port New Orleans, under the authority of the Ports and Waterways Safety Act, will enforce a temporary security zone, as published in the Federal Register (85 FR 216) on January 3, 2020. The security zone will be enforced from 1:30 p.m. through 11:30 p.m. on January 11, 2020, from 1:30 p.m. through 11:30 p.m. on January 12, 2020, and from 11:30 a.m. through 5 p.m. on January 13, 2020. The security zone will cover all navigable waters within 400-yards of the Left Descending Bank (LDB) between MM 94.5 and MM 96 AHP LMR, New Orleans, Louisiana.
All vessels are prohibited from entering the security zone unless they have been granted permission by the Captain of the Port New Orleans or a designated representative.
A U.S. Coast Guard vessel will be on scene for the duration of the events and may be contacted on VHF-FM Channel 16 in the event of an emergency.
