Proposal

Published April 6, 2026

91 FR 17170

Special Local Regulation; 4th of July Fireworks, East River and Upper New York Bay, Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn, NY

The Coast Guard is proposing to establish a temporary special local regulation (SLR) for certain navigable waters of the East River and Upper New York Bay in New York Harbor, NY. The SLR is needed to provide for the safety of life on these highly congested waterways immediately before, during, and after a 4th of July fireworks display. The rule would control vessel movement, prohibit entry into moving protection zones around transiting fireworks barges, establish exclusion zones near launch sites, and create spectator zones. The Coast Guard invites public comment on this proposed rulemaking.

91 FR 16011

Addition of Preclearance Facility at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport

This document announces that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has opened an additional preclearance facility in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, at the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. Preclearance operations allow CBP to inspect and admit travelers and their goods to the United States prior to boarding in a foreign location, creating opportunities for increased security and efficiency. Preclearance enables travelers and their baggage to complete immigration, customs, and agriculture inspections by CBP officers and specialists in a foreign location before boarding a direct flight to the United States, generally eliminating the need for additional CBP (or other U.S. agency) processing or security screening upon arrival.
