SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard will enforce the special 
local regulations for the Fourth of July Fireworks Displays in 33 CFR 
100.701 Table 1 from 8 p.m. through 11 p.m. on July 4, 2013. 
Specifically, this document serves as the notice of enforcement for the 
``Patriots Point Fireworks'' in Mount Pleasant, the ``Skull Creek 
Fireworks'' in Hilton Head, and the ``City of North Charleston 
Fireworks'' in North Charleston listed in Table 1 to 33 CFR 100.701.
    Under the provisions of 33 CFR 100.701, all persons and vessels are 
prohibited from entering the regulated areas unless permission to enter 
has been granted by the Captain of the Port Charleston. This notice of 
enforcement is to provide notice of regulated areas that will encompass 
portions of the navigable waterways. Spectator vessels may safely 
transit outside the regulated areas, but may not anchor, block, loiter 
in, or impede the transit of official patrol vessels. The Coast Guard 
may be assisted by other Federal, State, or local law enforcement 
agencies in enforcing these regulations.
    This notice is issued under authority of 33 CFR 100.701 and 5 
U.S.C. 552 (a). The Coast Guard will provide notice of the regulated 
areas by Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast Notice to Mariners, and 
on-scene designated representatives. If the COTP Charleston determines 
that the regulated area need not be enforced for the full duration 
stated in this notice, he or she may use a Broadcast Notice to Mariners 
to grant general permission to enter the regulated area.

    Dated: May 29, 2013.
M.F. White,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port Charleston.
