Pursuant to 33 CFR 100.1104, all persons and vessels not registered
with the sponsor as participants or as official patrol vessels are
considered spectators. The ``official patrol'' consists of any Coast
Guard asset; other Federal, state, or local law enforcement; and any
public or sponsor-provided vessels assigned or approved by the
cognizant Coast Guard Sector Commander to patrol each event. No
spectator shall anchor, block, loiter, nor impede the through transit
of participants or official patrol vessels in the regulated areas
during all applicable effective dates and times unless cleared to do so
by or through an official patrol vessel. When hailed and/or signaled by
an official patrol vessel, any spectator located within a regulated
area during all applicable effective dates and times shall come to an
immediate stop. The Patrol Commander (PATCOM) is empowered to control
the movement of all vessels in the regulated area or to restrict
vessels from entering the regulated area. The Patrol Commander shall be
designated by the cognizant Coast Guard Sector Commander; will be a
U.S. Coast Guard commissioned officer, warrant officer, or petty
officer to act as the Sector Commander's official representative; and
will be located aboard the lead official patrol vessel. As the Sector
Commander's representative, the PATCOM may terminate the event any time
it is deemed necessary for the protection of life and property. PATCOM
may be reached on VHF-FM Channel 13 (156.65MHz) or 16 (156.8MHz) when
required, by the call sign ``PATCOM.'' The Patrol Commander may, upon
request, allow the transit of commercial vessels through regulated
areas when it is safe to do so. The Coast Guard may be assisted by
other Federal, state, or local agencies.
This notice of enforcement is issued under authority of 33 CFR
100.1104 and 5 U.S.C. 552(a). In addition to this notification of
enforcement in the Federal Register, the Coast Guard will provide the
maritime community with advance notification of this enforcement period
via the Local Notice to Mariners, marine information broadcasts, and
Broadcast Notice to Mariners. If the Captain of the Port Los Angeles--
Long Beach determines that the Special Local Regulations need not to be
enforced for the full duration stated in this notice, the Captain of
the Port may use a Broadcast Notice to Mariners to reflect the change.
Dated: November 17, 2023.
R.D. Manning,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port Los Angeles--Long Beach.
