unless authorized by the Coast Guard Captain of the Port Maryland-
National Capital Region. Public vessels and vessels already at berth at 
the time the security zone is implemented do not have to depart the 
security zone. All vessels underway within the security zone at the 
time it is implemented are to depart the zone at the time the security 
zone is implemented. To seek permission to transit the zone, the 
Captain of the Port Maryland-National Capital Region can be contacted 
at telephone number (410) 576-2693 or on Marine Band Radio, VHF-FM

enforcement agencies in enforcing this regulation. If the Captain of 
the Port or his designated on-scene patrol personnel determines the 
security zone need not be enforced for the full duration stated in this 
notice, a Broadcast Notice to Mariners may be used to suspend 
enforcement and grant general permission to enter the security zone.
    This notice of enforcement is issued under authority of 33 CFR 
165.508 and 5 U.S.C. 552(a). In addition to this notice of enforcement 
in the Federal Register, the Coast Guard will provide notification of
