SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The safety zone for the Fleet Week Maritime Festival in 33 CFR
165.1330 will be subject to enforcement from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. on
August 2, 2016; however, it will only be enforced 30 minutes prior to
the beginning, during, and 30 minutes following the conclusion of the
parade of ships. The COTP may issue a general permission to enter the
zone during some of this time period if he or she determines the zone
need not be enforced for a certain period of time because the parade of
ships starts late or ends early. If the COTP issues a general
permission to enter, the public would be notified via a Broadcast
Notice to Mariners.
In accordance with the general regulations in 33 CFR part 165,
subpart C, no vessel operator may enter, transit, moor, or anchor
within this safety zone, except for vessels authorized by the Captain
of the Port, Puget Sound or his designated representative, thirty
[[Page 46836]]
minutes prior to the beginning, during, and thirty minutes following
the conclusion of the Parade of Ships. The Captain of the Port may be
assisted by other federal, state, or local agencies as needed.
In order to transit through this safety zone, authorization must be
granted by the Captain of the Port, Puget Sound or his designated
representative. All vessel operators desiring entry into this safety
zone shall gain authorization by contacting either the on-scene patrol
craft on VHF Ch 13 or Ch 16, or Coast Guard Sector Puget Sound Joint
Harbor Operations Center (JHOC) via telephone at (206) 217-6002. Vessel
operators granted permission to enter this safety zone will be escorted
by the on-scene patrol until no longer within the safety zone.
This document is issued under authority of 33 CFR 165.1330 and 5
U.S.C. 552(a). In addition to this notice of enforcement in the Federal
Register, the Coast Guard will provide the maritime community with
advanced notification of the safety zone via the Local Notice to
Mariners and marine information broadcasts. If the Captain of the Port
determines that the regulated area need not be enforced for the full
duration stated in this notice of enforcement, he may use a Broadcast
Notice to Mariners to grant general permission to enter the regulated
area.
Dated: July 13, 2016.
M.W. Raymond,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port, Puget Sound.
