enforcing the regulated area.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard will enforce the special
local regulations in 33 CFR 100.1103, Table 1 to Sec. 100.1103, Item
number 1 for the Blessing of the Fleet regulated area from 10 a.m. to
noon on April 30, 2023. This action is being taken to provide for the
safety of life on navigable waterways during this event. Our regulation
for marine events within Northern California, Sec. 100.1103, specifies
the location of the regulated area for the Blessing of the Fleet Boat
Parade which encompasses portions of the San Francisco Bay. During the
enforcement period, the regulated area will be in effect in the
navigable waters, from surface to bottom, defined by a line drawn from
Bluff Point on the southeastern side of the Tiburon Peninsula to Point
Campbell on the northern edge of Angel Island, and a line drawn from
Peninsula Point to the southern edge of the Tiburon Peninsula to Point
Stuart on the western edge of Angel Island.
During the enforcement period, under the provisions of 33 CFR
100.1103(b), if you are the operator of a vessel in the regulated area
you must comply with directions from the Patrol Commander (PATCOM) or
any other Official Patrol, defined as a Federal, State, or local law
enforcement agency on scene to assist the Coast Guard in enforcing the
regulated area. During the enforcement period, if you are the operator
of a vessel that participates in the marine event within the regulated
area, you must follow the parade route established by the marine event
sponsor, and 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 is
safe to do so.
In addition to this notification of enforcement in the Federal
Register, the Coast Guard plans to provide notification of this
enforcement period via 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 or
other marine broadcast may be used to grant general permission to enter
the regulated area.
Dated: March 22, 2023.

Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port, San Francisco.
