Special Local Regulations Northern California and Lake Tahoe Area 
Annual Marine Events; Escape From Alcatraz Swim, San Francisco, CA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notification of enforcement of regulation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard will enforce the special local regulations for 
the annual Escape From Alcatraz Swim on June 9, 2024, to provide for 
the safety of life on navigable waterways in the San Francisco Bay 
during this event. Our regulation for marine events in Northern 
California identifies the regulated area for this event in San 
Francisco, CA. During the enforcement period, unauthorized persons or 
vessels are prohibited from entering, transiting, or loitering in the 
regulated area, unless authorized by the Captain of the Port San 
Francisco (COTP) designated Patrol Commander (PATCOM) enforcing the 
regulated area.

DATES: The regulations in 33 CFR 100.1103 will be enforced for the 
location in Table 1 to Sec.  100.1103, Item number 6 from 7 a.m. to 9 
a.m. on June 9, 2024.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about this 
notification of enforcement, call, or email MST1 Shannon Curtaz-Milian, 
Sector San Francisco Waterways Management, U.S. Coast Guard; telephone 
(415) 399-7440, email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard will enforce the special 
local regulations in 33 CFR 100.1103, Table 1 to Sec.  100.1103, Item 
number 6 for the Escape From Alcatraz Swim regulated area from 7 a.m. 
to 9 a.m. on June 9, 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 Escape 
From Alcatraz Swim 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 Alcatraz Island to Saint Francis Yacht Club.
    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. 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 notice, a Broadcast Notice to Mariners 
or other marine broadcast may be used to grant general permission to 
enter the regulated area.

    Dated: June 3, 2024.

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