SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard will enforce the security
zone in 33 CFR 165.1333 for Seattle's Seafair Fleet Week from 8 a.m. on
July 30, 2024 through 8 p.m. on August 5, 2024. This action is being
taken to safeguard the vessels from destruction, loss, or injury from
sabotage or other subversive acts, accidents, or events of a similar
nature. The regulation for these security zones, Sec. 165.1333(a)
specifies the location of the security zone which encompasses all
navigable waters within 500 yards of each designated participating
vessel in the Parade of Ships while each vessel is in the COTP's zone
as defined in 33 CFR 3.65-10.
The following is a list of the designated participating vessels for
the Parade of Ships as defined by Sec. 165.1333(b); USS AUGUSTA (LCS-
34), USS SAMPSON (DDG-102), USCGC HENRY BLAKE (WLM-563), USCGC DAVID
DUREN (WPC-1156), USCGC OSPREY (WPB-87307), USCGC SEA LION (WPB-87352),
and USCGC TERRAPIN (WPB-87366).
During the enforcement period, as reflected in Sec. 165.1333(c),
no person or vessel may enter or remain in the security zones without
permission of the COTP or their designated representative(s). The COTP
has granted general permission for vessels to enter the outer 400 yards
of the established 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 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 to maintain course must obtain permission from the COTP or their
designated representative(s) by contacting the on-scene Coast Guard
patrol craft on VHF Ch 13 or 16. Requests must include the reason why
movement within the area is necessary. Vessel operators granted
permission to enter the security zones will be escorted by the on-scene
Coast Guard patrol craft until they are outside of the security zones
and must obey any lawful direction or order of the COTP or designated
representative.
In addition to this notice in the Federal Register, the Coast Guard
will provide notification of this enforcement period via marine
information broadcasts and the Local Notice to Mariners in advance of
the event.
Dated: July 24, 2024.
Mark A. McDonnell,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port, Sector Puget Sound.
