    Under the provisions of 33 CFR 165.160, vessels may not enter the 
safety zones unless given permission from the COTP or a designated 
representative. Spectator vessels may transit outside the safety zones 
but may not anchor, block, loiter in, or impede the transit of other 
vessels. The Coast Guard may be assisted by other Federal, State, or 
local law enforcement agencies in enforcing this regulation.
    This notice is issued under authority of 33 CFR 165.160(a) and 5 
U.S.C. 552(a). In addition to this notice in the Federal Register, the 
Coast Guard will provide mariners with advanced notification of 
enforcement periods via the Local Notice to Mariners and marine 
information broadcasts. If the COTP determines that a safety zone need 
not be enforced for the full duration stated in this notice, a 
Broadcast Notice to Mariners may be used to grant general permission to 
enter the safety zone.
