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; 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
[[Page 97539]]
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 a Marine Safety Information Bulletin (MSIB) and a Broadcast Notice
to Mariners (BNM). 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: December 3, 2024.
Stacey L. Crecy,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port Los Angeles--Long Beach.
