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.

areas by Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast Notice to Mariners,

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.
