SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Discussion of Notice. These Special Local 
Regulations permit Coast Guard control of vessel traffic in order to 
ensure the safety of spectator and participant vessels. In accordance 
with the regulations in 33 CFR 100.1101, no persons or vessels shall 
block, anchor, or loiter in the regulated area; nor shall any person or 
vessel transit through the regulated area, or otherwise impede the 
transit of participant or official patrol vessels in the regulated 
area, unless cleared for such entry by or through an official patrol 
vessel acting on behalf of the Patrol Commander. The regulated area is 
located on Mission Bay in that portion bounded by Enchanted Cove, 
Fiesta Island, Pacific Passage, and DeANza Point. Pursuant to 33 CFR 
100.1101(b)(3), Commanding Officer, Coast Guard Activities San Diego is 
designated the Patrol Commander for this event. He has authority to 
delegate this responsibility to any commissioned, warrant, or petty 
officer of the Coast Guard.
    Good Cause Statement. Good cause exists for publishing this Notice 
of Implementation less than 30 days before the event because there is 
an immediate need to protect the crew boat racers from any motorized 
boats in the vicinity. This need was balanced against the principle 
that all affected persons should be afforded a reasonable time to 
prepare for the effective date of the rule. Because general notice of 
this rule is published in the Code of Federal Regulations and the 
general notice is being followed by this Notice of Implementation, 
affected persons will have received adequate notice that this rule 
would come into effect.

    Dated: March 19, 2002.
D.C. Folsom,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Commander, Eleventh Coast Guard District, 
Acting.
