SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Coast Guard will enforce the Seafair Air Show Performance safety zone in 33 CFR 165.1319 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. on August 3, 2023, and from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. each day from August 4, 2023, through August 6, 2023, unless canceled sooner by the Captain of the Port. This action is being taken to provide for the safety of life on navigable waterways during this 4-day event. Our regulation for marine events within the Thirteenth Coast Guard District, § 165.1319(b), specifies the location of the regulated area for the Seafair Air Show performance which encompasses portions of Lake Washington.

During the enforcement periods, as reflected in § 165.1319, no person or vessel may enter or remain in the zone except for support vessels and support personnel, vessels registered with the event organizer, or other vessels authorized by the Captain of the Port or designated representatives. Vessels and persons granted authorization to enter the safety zone must obey all lawful orders or directions made by the Captain of the Port or his designated representative.

The Captain of the Port (COTP) may be assisted by other Federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies in enforcing this regulation.

In addition to this notification of enforcement in the Federal Register , the Coast Guard plans to provide notification of this enforcement period via the Local Notice to Mariners and marine information broadcasts.

If the COTP determines that the safety zone need not be enforced for the full duration stated in this notification of enforcement, he may use a Broadcast Notice to Mariners to grant general permission to enter the regulated area.
