SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard will enforce the Safety 
Zones; Annual Events in the Captain of the Port Buffalo Zone listed in 
33 CFR 165.939, Table 165.939(c)(1) for the Whiskey Island Paddlefest 
in Cleveland, OH, on all U.S. waters of Lake Erie, Cleveland Harbor, 
from 41[deg]29'59.5'' N and 081[deg]42'59.3'' W, to 41[deg]30'4.4'' N 
and 081[deg]42'44.5'' W, to 41[deg]30'17.3'' N and 081[deg]43'0.6'' W, 
to 41[deg]30'9.4'' N and 081[deg]43'2.0'' W, to 41[deg]29'54.9'' N and 
081[deg]43'34.4'' W, to 41[deg]30'0.1'' N and 081[deg]43'3.1'' W, and

a.m. through 1:15 p.m. on July 17, 2021. The scheduled date of zone 
enforcement differs from that published in 33 CFR 165.939 to 
accommodate the sponsoring organization's priority to better align 
their event with other occurring local events, other paddle races 
taking place in the Great Lakes region, and to ensure the availability 
of personnel and resources to support the event.
    Pursuant to 33 CFR 165.23, entry into, transiting, or anchoring 
within the safety zone during an enforcement period is prohibited 
unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Buffalo or a designated 
representative. Those seeking permission to enter the safety zone may 
request permission from the Captain of the Port Buffalo via channel 16, 
VHF-FM. Vessels and persons granted permission to enter the safety zone 
shall obey the directions of the Captain of the Port Buffalo or a 
designated representative. While within a safety zone, all vessels 
shall operate at the minimum speed necessary to maintain a safe course.
    This notice of enforcement is issued under authority of 33 CFR 
165.939 and 5 U.S.C. 552 (a). In addition to this notice of enforcement 
in the Federal Register, the Coast Guard will provide the maritime 
community with advance notification of this enforcement period via 
Broadcast Notice to Mariners or Local Notice to Mariners. If the 
Captain of the Port Buffalo determines that the safety zone need not be 
enforced for the full duration stated in this notice he or she may use 
a Broadcast Notice to Mariners to grant general permission to enter the 
respective safety zone.

R.R. Kistner,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Alternate Captain of the Port Buffalo.
