You are correct on the FAA, as I was only using decades old personal recollection from radio and tv reports.

So, when did they close the piers?

< I was there.

Nowheres near the number of piers in Manhattan as there once were. Closing the piers would have been a waste of resources. You don't have to close the piers when you control the waterways.
