the through transit of participants or official patrol vessels in the
safety zone during all applicable effective dates and times, unless
authorized to do so by the PATCOM or other Official Patrol, defined as
a Federal, State, or local law enforcement agency on scene to assist
the Coast Guard in enforcing the safety zone. During the enforcement
periods, if you are the operator of a vessel in one of the safety
zones, you must comply with directions from the Patrol Commander or
other Official Patrol. The PATCOM or Official Patrol may, upon request,
allow the transit of commercial vessels through regulated areas when it

In addition to this notice of enforcement in the Federal Register,
the Coast Guard plans to provide notification of this enforcement
period via the Local Notice to Mariners.
If the Captain of the Port determines that the regulated area need
not be enforced for the full duration stated in this notice, a
Broadcast Notice to Mariners may be used to grant general permission to
enter the regulated area.
