SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard will enforce the security
zones for Seattle's Seafair Fleet Week Moving Vessels in 33 CFR
165.1333 from 11:30 a.m. on August 1, 2022, through 5 p.m. on August 7,
2022.
In accordance with the general regulations in 33 CFR part 165,
subpart D, no person or vessel may enter or remain in the security
zones without the permission of the Captain of the Port, Puget Sound or
her designated representative. For 2022, the following areas are Sec.
165.1333 security zones: all navigable waters within 500 yards of USS
LAKE CHAMPLAIN (CG-57), USS JOHN PAUL JONES (DDG-53), USCGC HENRY BLAKE
(WLM-563), USCGC ANACAPA (WPB-1335), USCGC TERRAPIN (WPB-87366), USCGC
OSPREY (WPB-87307), HMCS SASKATOON (MM-709), HMCS YELLOWKNIFE (MM-706),
and Fireboat LESCHI, while each such vessel is in the Sector Puget
Sound COTP Zone.
The COTP has granted general permission for vessels to enter the
outer 400 yards of the security zones as long as those vessels within
the outer 400 yards of the security zones operate at the minimum speed
necessary to maintain course unless required to maintain speed by the
navigation rules. The COTP may be assisted by other federal, state or
local agencies with the enforcement of the security zones.
All vessel operators who desire to enter the inner 100 yards of the
security zones or transit the outer 400 yards at greater than minimum
speed necessary to maintain course must obtain permission from the COTP
or her designated representative by contacting the on-scene patrol
craft on VHF Ch 13 or Ch 16. Requests must include the reason why
movement within this area is necessary. Vessel operators granted
permission to enter the security zones will be escorted by the on-scene
patrol craft until they are outside of the security zones.
In addition to this notice of enforcement, the Coast Guard will
provide the maritime community with notification of the security zones
via the Local Notice to Mariners and marine information broadcasts on
the day of the event. In the event that there are changes to the
participating vessels, due to operational requirements, the Coast Guard
will provide actual notice for any additional designated participating
vessels not covered in this document.
Members of the public may contact Sector Puget Sound COTP at 206-
217-6002 for an up-to-date list of designated participating vessels. If
the COTP determines that the security zones need not be enforced for
the full duration stated in this notice of enforcement, a Broadcast
Notice to Mariners may be used to grant general permission to enter all
portions of the regulated areas.
Dated: July 29, 2022.
P.M. Hilbert,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port, Sector Puget Sound.
