vessels. The Coast Guard may be assisted by other Federal, State, or 
local law enforcement agencies in enforcing this regulation.
    This notice is issued under authority of 33 CFR 165.160(a) and 5 
U.S.C. 552(a). In addition to this notice in the Federal Register, the

may be used to grant general permission to enter the safety zone.
