SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard will enforce the special
local regulations in 33 CFR 100.1103, table 1, Item number 1, for the
Blessing of the Fleet regulated area from 10 a.m. to noon on April 28,
2024. This action is being taken to provide for the safety of life on
navigable waterways during this event. Our regulation for marine events
within Northern California, Sec. 100.1103, specifies the location of
the regulated area for the Blessing of the Fleet Boat Parade which
encompasses portions of the San Francisco Bay. During the enforcement
period, the regulated area will be in effect in the navigable waters,
from surface to bottom, defined by a line drawn from Bluff Point on the
southeastern side of the Tiburon Peninsula to Point Campbell on the
northern edge of Angel Island, and a line drawn from Peninsula Point to
the southern edge of the Tiburon Peninsula to Point Stuart on the
western edge of Angel Island.
During the enforcement period, under the provisions of 33 CFR
100.1103(b), if you are the operator of a vessel in the regulated area
you must comply with directions from the Patrol Commander (PATCOM) or
any other Official Patrol, defined as a Federal, State, or local law
enforcement agency on scene to assist the Coast Guard in enforcing the
regulated area. During the enforcement period, if you are the operator
of a vessel that participates in the marine event within the regulated
area, you must follow the parade route established by the marine event
sponsor and comply with directions from the PATCOM or other Official
Patrol. The PATCOM or Official Patrol may, upon request, allow the
transit of commercial vessels through regulated areas when it is safe
to do so.
In addition to this notification of enforcement in the Federal
Register, the Coast Guard plans to provide notification of this
enforcement period via Local Notice to Mariners. If the Captain of the
Port determines that the regulated area need not be enforced for the
full duration stated in this notification, a Broadcast Notice to
Mariners or other marine broadcast may be used to grant general
permission to enter the regulated area.
Dated: April 3, 2024.

Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port, San Francisco.
