official patrol vessels. The Coast Guard may be assisted by other 
Federal, State, or Local law enforcement agencies in enforcing this 
regulation.

U.S.C. 552 (a). In addition to this document in the Federal Register, 
the Coast Guard will provide the maritime community with advance

duration stated on this document, he or she may use a Broadcast Notice 
to Mariners or other communications coordinated with the event sponsor
