shall operate at the minimum speed necessary to maintain a safe course.
In addition to this notice of enforcement in the Federal Register,
the Coast Guard will provide the maritime community with advance
notification of this enforcement period via Broadcast Notice to

determines that the safety zone need not be enforced for the full
duration stated in this notice, he may use a Broadcast Notice to
Mariners to grant general permission to enter the respective safety
zone.
