    Under the provisions of 33 CFR 165.160, vessels may not enter the 
safety zones unless given permission from the COTP or a designated 
representative. Spectator vessels may transit outside the safety zones 
but may not anchor, block, loiter in, or impede the transit of other 
vessels. The Coast Guard may be assisted by other Federal, State, or 
local law enforcement agencies in enforcing this regulation.
    This notice of enforcement is issued under authority of 33 CFR 
165.160(a) and 5 U.S.C. 552(a). In addition to this notice of 
enforcement in the Federal Register, the Coast Guard will provide 
mariners with advanced notification of enforcement periods via the 
Local Notice to Mariners and marine information broadcasts. If the COTP 
determines that a safety zone need not be enforced for the full 
duration stated in this notice, a Broadcast Notice to Mariners may be 
used to grant general permission to enter the safety zone.
