: This document announces the
decision of the Secretary of Homeland
Security to terminate arrival restrictions

in the Democratic Republic of the Congo

AFCS MODE LIMITATIONS
If
"F"
symbol is displayed next to groundspeed readout (GS) at the bottom
of
the IAS
tape
on
PFD, APP/NAV AFCS modes must not be used when the navigation source is
VOR/ILS/LOC. Therefore
VOR
navigation and VOR/ILS/LOC approaches must not
be coupled to AFCS but are allowed
if
manually flown by the pilot.
NOTE
The
"F"
symbol displayed next to groundspeed readout (GS) is due to:
-ADAHRS/GPS degradation
or
-
"DG"
mode selection
In both cases the groundspeed (GS) data source is FMS instead
of
GPS.

These restrictions directed such flights
to land only at a limited set of United
States airports where the United States
government had focused public health
resources to implement enhanced
public health measures.
DATES
: The arrival restrictions
applicable to flights to the United States
carrying persons who have recently
traveled from, or were otherwise present
within, the Republic of Guinea are
terminated as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern
Daylight Time on May 14, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
:
Background
On March 4, 2021, the Secretary of
Homeland Security (Secretary)
announced arrival restrictions
applicable to flights carrying persons
who have recently traveled from, or
were otherwise present within, the
Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)
or the Republic of Guinea, consistent
with 6 U.S.C. 112(a), 19 U.S.C. 1433(c),
and 19 CFR 122.32, in a Federal
Register document titled ‘‘Arrival
Restrictions Applicable to Flights
Carrying Persons Who Have Recently
Traveled From or Were Otherwise
Present Within the Democratic Republic
of the Congo or the Republic of Guinea’’
(86 FR 12534). On May 3, 2021, the
Secretary terminated the arrival
restrictions applicable to flights carrying
persons who have recently traveled
from, or were otherwise present within,
the DRC in a Federal Register document
titled ‘‘Termination of Arrival
Restrictions Applicable to Flights
Carrying Persons Who Have Recently
Traveled From or Were Otherwise
Present Within the Democratic Republic
of the Congo’’ (86 FR 23277). However,
the May 3, 2021 Federal Register
notification did not terminate the arrival
restrictions for flights carrying persons
who have recently traveled from, or
were otherwise present within, the
Republic of Guinea because the most
recent case of EVD in the Republic of
Guinea was confirmed on April 3, 2021.
For the reasons set forth below, the
Secretary has decided to terminate the
arrival restrictions applicable to flights
carrying persons who have recently
traveled from, or were otherwise present
within, the Republic of Guinea. These
restrictions funnel relevant arriving air
passengers to one of six designated
airports of entry where the United States
is implementing enhanced public health
measures. Since April 3, 2021, there
have been no new confirmed EVD cases
reported in the Republic of Guinea and
all contacts of cases that were being
monitored for EVD have passed the 21-
day incubation period. With no new
hospitalized patients with EVD and no
contacts of confirmed EVD cases still
requiring monitoring, the potential risk
for Ebola virus exposure in the Republic
of Guinea has greatly diminished.
Therefore, flight restrictions are no
longer required for flights carrying
persons who have recently traveled
from, or were otherwise present within,
the Republic of Guinea.
Notice of Termination of Arrival
Restrictions Applicable to All Flights
Carrying Persons Who Have Recently
Traveled From or Were Otherwise
Present Within the Republic of Guinea
Pursuant to 6 U.S.C. 112(a), 19 U.S.C.
1433(c), and 19 CFR 122.32, and
effective as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern
Daylight Time on May 14, 2021, for all
affected flights arriving at a United
States airport, I hereby terminate the
arrival restrictions applicable to flights
carrying persons who have recently
traveled from, or were otherwise present
within, the Republic of Guinea
announced in the Arrival Restrictions
document published at 86 FR 12534
(March 4, 2021).

these safety zones are enforced, certain
restrictions are placed on marine traffic
in specified areas.

II. Background Information and
Regulatory History
The Captain of the Port Sector Ohio
Valley (COTP) is amending 33 CFR
165.801 to update the table of annual
fireworks displays and other events in
Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley Area of
Responsibility (AOR). These events
include air shows, fireworks displays,
and other events requiring a safety zone.
On February 24, 2021, the Coast
Guard published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) titled, ‘‘Safety
Zones; Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley
Annual and Recurring Safety Zones
Update’’ (86 FR 11198). There we stated
why we issued the NPRM, and invited
comments on our proposed regulatory
action related to those recurring safety
zones. During the comment period that
ended on March 26, 2021, no comments
were received.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for
making this rule effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal
Register. Delaying the effective date of
this rule would be contrary to the public
interest because immediate action is
necessary to respond to the potential
safety hazards associated with these
events.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule
under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034
