Security Zone; Intracoastal Waterway, Palm Beach, FL

Temporary interim rule and request for comments.

The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary security zone on the waters of the Atlantic Ocean near the Mar-A-Lago Club and the Southern Boulevard Bridge in Palm Beach, Florida FL. This rule is substantially like the “east zone” security zone in Coast Guard regulations. The Coast Guard will only enforce this rule when the President of the United States, members of the First Family, or other persons under the protection of the Secret Service are present or expected to be present. This action is necessary to protect the official party, public, and surrounding waterways from terrorist acts, sabotage or other subversive acts, accidents, or other events of a similar nature.

Effective date: This rule is effective without actual notice from April 11, 2025 through July 17, 2025. For the purposes of enforcement, actual notice will be used from March 19, 2025, until April 11, 2025.

Comments due date: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast Guard on or before May 12, 2025.
