RIN 1625-AA08


Special Local Regulations for Marine Events; San Francisco Bay 
Navy Fleet Week Parade of Ships and Air Show Demonstration, San 
Francisco Bay, CA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of enforcement.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard will enforce the special local regulations 
(SLR's) in the navigable waters of San Francisco Bay for the annual 
U.S. Navy and City of San Francisco sponsored Fleet Week Parade of Navy 
Ships and Air Show Demonstration to be held October 5 thru October 8, 
2006. This SLR will be used to keep spectator vessels out of the path 
of parading Navy ships and away from the area directly below 
participating aircraft during the air show in order to ensure the 
safety of event participants and spectators.

DATES: The regulations at 33 CFR 100.1105(b)(1), Regulated Area 
``Alpha'' for Navy Parade of Ships will be enforced from 11 a.m. to 1 
p.m. on October 7, 2006, while the regulations at 33 CFR 
100.1105(b)(2), Regulated Area ``Bravo'' for the Fleet Week Air Show 
Demonstration will be enforced from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on October 5, 
2006, 12:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on October 6 and 7, and 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 
p.m. on October 8, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lieutenant Eric Ramos, Waterways 
Safety Branch, U.S. Coast Guard Sector San Francisco, at (415) 556-2950 
Ext. 143 or the Sector San Francisco Command Center, at (415) 399-3547.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 1, 1993, the Coast Guard 
published a final rule (58 FR 51242) modifying the regulations in 33 
CFR 100.1105, that establish regulated areas to ensure the safe 
execution of the San Francisco Bay Navy Fleet Week Parade of Ships and 
Air Show Demonstration. The U. S. Navy and City of San Francisco are 
sponsoring the Annual Fleet Week Parade of Navy Ships and Air Show 
Demonstration to be held October 5 thru October 8, 2006.
    Due to the security concerns associated with the participating 
naval vessels and hazards associated with the air show demonstration, 
33 CFR 100.1105 is necessary to provide for the safety of event 
participants, spectator craft, and other vessels transiting the event 
area. Under the provisions of 33 CFR 100.1105, a vessel may not enter 
Regulated area ``Alpha'' or ``Bravo'', unless it receives permission 
from the Coast Guard Patrol Commander. Additionally, no person or 
vessel may enter or remain within 500 yards ahead of the lead Navy 
parade vessel, within 200 yards astern of the last parade vessel, or 
within 200 yards on either side of any parade vessel. Spectator vessels 
may safely transit outside the regulated area but may not anchor, 
block, loiter in, or impede the transit of ship parade participants or 
official patrol vessels. The Coast Guard may be assisted by other 
Federal, State, or local law enforcement agencies in enforcing the SLR.
    Because this SLR will be in effect for a limited period, it should 
not result in a significant disruption of maritime traffic. 
Additionally, the maritime community will be provided advance 
notification of these events via the Local Notice to Mariners.

    Dated: September 8, 2006.
J.A. Breckenridge,
Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard Commander, Eleventh Coast Guard 
District.
