SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard will enforce the safety zone 
regulations in 33 CFR 165.1123 for the Big Bay Boom Fourth of July 
Fireworks regulated area from 8 p.m. until 10 p.m. on July 4, 2021. 
This action is being taken to provide for the safety of life on 
navigable waterways during the fireworks event. Our regulation for 
Southern California Annual Firework Events for the San Diego Captain of 
the Port Zone, Sec.  165.1123, identifies the regulated areas for the 
Big Bay Boom Fourth of July Fireworks event which encompasses multiple 
portions of San Diego Bay. Under the provisions of Sec.  165.1123, a 
vessel may not enter the regulated area, unless it receives permission 
from the Captain of the Port, or his designated representative. 
Spectator vessels may safely transit outside the regulated area but may 
not anchor, block, loiter, or impede the transit of participants or 
official patrol vessels. The Coast Guard may be assisted by other 
Federal, State, or Local law enforcement agencies in enforcing this 
regulation.
    In addition to this notice of enforcement in the Federal Register, 
the Coast Guard plans to provide notification of this enforcement 
period via the Local Notice to Mariners, marine information broadcasts, 
and local advertising by the event sponsor.
    If the Captain of the Port or his designated representative 
determines that the regulated area need not be enforced for the full 
duration stated on this document, he or she may use a Broadcast Notice 
to Mariners or other communications coordinated with the event sponsor 
to grant general permission to enter the regulated area.

    Dated: May 14, 2021.
T.J. Barelli,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port San Diego.
