In accordance with the general regulations in 33 CFR part 165,

while each such vessel is in the Sector Puget Sound COTP Zone.
The COTP has granted general permission for vessels to enter the
outer 400 yards of the security zones as long as those vessels within
the outer 400 yards of the security zones operate at the minimum speed
necessary to maintain course unless required to maintain speed by the
navigation rules. The COTP may be assisted by other federal, state or

designated representative by contacting the on-scene patrol craft on
VHF Ch 13 or Ch 16. Requests must include the reason why movement
within this area is necessary. Vessel operators granted permission to
enter the security zones will be escorted by the on-scene patrol craft
until they are outside of the security zones.
In addition to this notice of enforcement, the Coast Guard will
provide the maritime community with advanced notification of the
security zones via the Local Notice to Mariners and marine information
broadcasts on the day of the event. In the event that there are changes
to the participating vessels, due to operational requirements, the

participating vessels not covered in this notice.
In addition, members of the public may contact Sector Puget Sound
COTP at 206-217-6002 for an up-to-date list of designated participating
vessels. If the COTP determines that the security zones need not be
enforced for the full duration stated in this notice of enforcement, a
Broadcast Notice to Mariners may be used to grant general permission to
enter all portions of the regulated areas.
