SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 27, 2004, the Coast Guard 
published a final rule (69 FR 52603) establishing regulations, in 33 
CFR 165.1321, for the security of Department of Defense assets and 
military cargo in the navigable waters of Puget Sound and adjacent 
waters. On December 10, 2004, the Coast Guard published a final rule 
(69 FR 71711), which amended 33 CFR 165.1321 by adding Budd Inlet, 
Olympia, WA as a permanent security zone. These security zones provide 
for the regulation of vessel traffic in the vicinity of military cargo 
loading facilities in the navigable waters of the United States. These 
security zones also exclude persons and vessels from the immediate 
vicinity of these facilities during military cargo loading and 
unloading operations. In addition, the regulation establishes 
requirements for all vessels to obtain permission of the COTP or the 
COTP's designated representative, including the Vessel Traffic Service 
Puget Sound (VTS) to enter, move within, or exit these security zones 
when they are enforced. Entry into these zones is prohibited unless 
otherwise exempted or excluded under 33 CFR 165.1321 or unless 
authorized by the Captain of the Port or his designee.
    The Captain of the Port Puget Sound will begin enforcing the Budd 
Inlet security zone established by 33 CFR 165.1321 on Friday, March 11, 
2005 at 8 a.m. Pacific Standard Time. The security zone will be 
enforced until Tuesday, March 15, 2005 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Standard 
Time. All persons and vessels are authorized to enter, move within, and 
exit the security zone on or after Tuesday, March 15, 2005 at 11:59 
p.m. Pacific Standard Time unless a new notice of enforcement is issued 
before then.
