SUMMARY: The Coast Guard will enforce the special local regulations for

30, 2023 to provide for the safety of life on navigable waterways in
the San Francisco Bay during this event. Our regulation for marine
events in Northern California identifies the regulated area for this
event in San Francisco, CA. During the enforcement period, unauthorized
persons or vessels are prohibited from entering into, transiting
through, or loitering or anchoring in the regulated area, unless
authorized by the designated Patrol Commander (PATCOM) or other
Federal, State, or local law enforcement agencies on scene to assist
the Coast Guard in enforcing the regulated area.

location in Table 1 to Sec. 100.1103, Item number 2 from noon to 3
p.m. on April 30, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard will enforce the special
local regulations in 33 CFR 100.1103, Table 1 to Sec. 100.1103, Item
number 2 for the Opening Day on San Francisco Bay regulated area from
noon to 3 p.m. 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 Opening
Day on San Francisco Bay 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 Fort Point; thence easterly approximately
5,000 yards; thence easterly to the Blossom Rock Bell Buoy; thence
westerly to the Northeast corner of Pier 39; thence returning along the
shoreline to the point of origin.
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, be capable of maintaining an approximate speed of 6 knots, 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 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
or other marine broadcast may be used to grant general permission to
enter the regulated area.
Dated: March 22, 2023.
Taylor Q. Lam,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port San Francisco.
