transit through a regulated area by contacting the Event PATCOM or
official patrol vessel on VHF-FM channel 16. When authorized to transit
through the regulated area, the vessel must proceed at the minimum
speed necessary to maintain a safe course that minimizes wake near the
event area.
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 and Broadcast
Notice to Mariners.
