    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.
