SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard will enforce special local 
regulation in 33 CFR 100.1309 for the Olympia Harbor Days Tugboat Races 
in Budd Inlet, WA, from noon until 3 p.m. on September 1, 2024. This 
action is necessary to ensure the safety of life on the navigable 
waterways of Budd Inlet during this event. The regulation for the 
marine events within the Thirteenth Coast Guard District, Sec.  
100.1309(a), specifies the location of the regulated area for the 
Olympia Harbor Days Tugboat Races, which encompasses approximately 2 
nautical miles of the navigable waters in Budd Inlet, WA. During the

Ch 13.
    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, 
local radio stations and area newspapers. If the Captain of the Port 
determines that the regulated area does not need to be enforced for the 
full duration stated in this notice, a Broadcast Notice to Mariners 
will be issued to grant general permission to enter the regulated area.

    Dated: August 20, 2024.
