FORM INSTRUCTIONS

1. This application must reach the appropriate USCG Sector at least 135 days prior to the event.  However, the application may be submitted 60 days prior to the event if:
   (1) the sponsor held the same event last year,
   (2) the nature, location, date, time, and other relevant information contained in last year’s application is essentially the same,
   (3) the Coast Guard received no public objection to last year’s application, and
   (4) the Coast Guard approved last year’s event.
   Regardless of whether or not an event has received a permit in the past, sponsors are required to submit a marine event application to the Coast Guard for review. Because the late submission of applications may not allow us enough time to properly review and advertise your request, late applications may not be approved.
