Fireworks from 11:30 a.m. until 10:40 p.m. on April 26, 2024. The 
safety zone will extend to all navigable waters of the San Francisco 
Bay, from surface to bottom, within a circle formed by connecting all

pyrotechnics from Pier 68 in San Francisco, CA. The fireworks barge 
will remain at the loading location until its transit to the display

fireworks barge will transit from Pier 68 to the launch site near Pier 
48 in approximate position 37[deg]46'36'' N, 122[deg]22'56'' W (NAD 83) 
where it will remain until the conclusion of the fireworks display. 
Upon commencement of the 10-minute fireworks display, scheduled to 
begin at the conclusion of the baseball game, between 9:40 p.m. and 10 
p.m. on April 26, 2024, the safety zone will increase in size and 
encompass all navigable waters of the San Francisco Bay, from surface

announced via Marine Information Broadcast.
    Under the provisions of 33 CFR 165.1191, unauthorized persons or 
vessels are prohibited from entering into, transiting through, or 
anchoring in the safety zone during all applicable effective dates and 
times, unless authorized to do so by the PATCOM or other Official 
Patrol, defined as a Federal, State, or local law enforcement agency on 
scene to assist the Coast Guard in enforcing the safety zone. During 
the enforcement period, if you are the operator of a vessel in one of 
the safety zones you must comply with the direction 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 the 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 
Marine Information Broadcast may be used to grant general permission to 
enter the regulated area.
