Special Local Regulations

    In accordance with Sec.  100.901, entry into, transiting, or 
anchoring within these regulated areas is prohibited unless authorized 
by the Coast Guard patrol commander (PATCOM). The PATCOM may restrict 
vessel operation within the regulated area to vessels having particular 
operating characteristics.
    Vessels permitted to enter this regulated area must operate at a 
no-wake speed and in a manner that will not endanger race participants 
or any other craft.

[[Page 31048]]

    The PATCOM may direct the anchoring, mooring, or movement of any 
vessel within this regulated area. A succession of sharp, short signals 
by whistle or horn from vessels patrolling the area under the direction 
of the PATCOM shall serve as a signal to stop. Vessels so signaled 
shall stop and shall comply with the orders of the PATCOM. Failure to 
do so may result in expulsion from the area, a Notice of Violation for 
failure to comply, or both.
    If it is deemed necessary for the protection of life and property, 
the PATCOM may terminate the marine event or the operation of any 
vessel within the regulated area.
    In accordance with the general regulations in Sec.  100.35 of this 
part, the Coast Guard will patrol the regatta area under the direction 
of a designated Coast Guard Patrol Commander (PATCOM). The PATCOM may 
be contacted on Channel 16 (156.8 MHz) by the call sign ``Coast Guard 
Patrol Commander.''
    Under the provisions of 33 CFR 100.928, vessels transiting within 
the regulated area shall travel at a no-wake speed and remain vigilant 
for event participants and safety craft. Additionally, vessels shall 
yield right-of-way for event participants and event safety craft and 
shall follow directions given by the Coast Guard's on-scene 
representative or by event representatives during the event.
    The ``on-scene representative'' of the Captain of the Port Detroit 
is any Coast Guard commissioned, warrant, or petty officer who has been 
designated by the Captain of the Port Detroit to act on his behalf. The 
on-scene representative of the Captain of the Port Detroit will be 
aboard either a Coast Guard or Coast Guard Auxiliary vessel. The 
Captain of the Port Detroit or his designated on scene representative 
may be contacted via VHF Channel 16.
    The rules in this section shall not apply to vessels participating 
in the event or to government vessels patrolling the regulated area in 
the performance of their assigned duties.
    This document is issued under authority of 33 CFR 100.35 and 5 
U.S.C. 552(a). If the Captain of the Port determines that any of these 
special local regulations need not be enforced for the full duration 
stated in this document, he may suspend such enforcement and notify the 
public of the suspension via a Broadcast Notice to Mariners.

    Dated: June 26, 2018.
J.W. Novak,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port Detroit.
