SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Discussion of Notice The U.S. Navy/City of San Francisco Fleetweek Navy Parade of Ships and the Navy Blue Angels Aerial Show is scheduled for Saturday, October 7, 1995. Regulated area ``Alpha'' will ensure unobstructed waters for safe navigation of the Parade of Navy Ships proceeding inbound via the Eastbound San Francisco Bay Traffic Lane. Following the ship parade, regulated area ``Bravo'' for the aerial demonstration by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels and other aircraft will ensure the safety of the aircraft, vessels, and persons onboard. In preparation for this demonstration, the Blue Angels will conduct practice flights on October 5 and 6, 1995. An additional Blue Angels aerial demonstration is scheduled for October 8, 1995. The regulated area for the practice event and the performance by the Blue Angels and other aircraft will restrict vessel access to the marinas and commercial docks along the San Francisco waterfront. The short duration and minimal size of the regulated area will minimize any inconvenience. Persons and vessels shall not enter or remain within the stated distances from the Naval parade vessels in regulated area ``Alpha,'' or enter or remain within regulated area ``Bravo,'' unless authorized by the Coast Guard Patrol Commander. Fleetweek activities have traditionally attracted a sizable fleet of vessels, and large vessel operators needing to transmit near Fleetweek activities are encouraged to make such transits well before or after the regulated area are in effect. Dated: August 30, 1995. D.D. Polk, Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Commander, Eleventh Coast Guard District, Acting. [FR Doc. 95-22530 Filed 09-11-95 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910-14-M
