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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard will enforce special local regulations for the 
Escape the Cape Triathlon from June 8, 2025, to provide for the safety 
of life on navigable waterways during this event. Our regulation for 
marine events within the Fifth Coast Guard District identifies the 
regulated area for this event in Lower Township, NJ. During the 
enforcement periods, the operator of any vessel in the regulated area 
must comply with directions from the Patrol Commander or any Official 
Patrol displaying a Coast Guard ensign.

DATES: The regulations in 33 CFR 100.501 will be enforced for the 
special local regulation listed in Table 1 to Paragraph (i)(1) of Sec.  
100.501 for the Escape the Cape Swim from 7 a.m. through 10 a.m. on 
June 8, 2025.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about this 
notification of enforcement, call or email MST2 Emmanuel E. Melendez, 
Waterways Management Division, Sector Delaware Bay U.S. Coast Guard; 
telephone 206-815-6688, option 3, email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard will enforce the special 
local regulation in Table 1 to Paragraph (i)(1) in 33 CFR 100.501, for 
the regulated area of the Escape the Cape Swim from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. 
on June 8, 2025. This action is being taken to provide for the safety 
of life on navigable waterways during this event. Our regulation for 
marine events within the Fifth Coast Guard District, Sec.  100.501, 
specifies the location of the regulated area for the ``Escape the Cape 
Swim'' which encompasses portions of the Delaware Bay off Lower 
Township, NJ. During the enforcement period, as reflected in Sec.  
100.501(d)(2), a vessel operator may request permission to enter and 
transit through a regulated area by contacting the Event PATCOM or 
official patrol vessel on VHF-FM channel 16. When authorized to transit 
through the regulated area, the vessel must proceed at the minimum 
speed necessary to maintain a safe course that minimizes wake near the 
event area.
    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 and Broadcast 
Notice to Mariners.

    Dated: May 14, 2025.
