SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 27, 2004, the Coast Guard 
published a final rule (69 FR 52603) establishing regulations, in 33 
CFR 165.1321, for the security of Department of Defense assets and 
military cargo in the navigable waters of Puget Sound and adjacent 
waters. On December 10, 2004, the Coast Guard published a final rule 
(69 FR 71709), which amended 33 CFR 165.1321 by adding Budd Inlet, 
Olympia, WA as a permanent security zone. These security zones provide 
for the regulation of vessel traffic in the vicinity of military cargo 
loading facilities in the navigable waters of the United States. These 
security zones also exclude persons and vessels from the immediate 
vicinity of these facilities during military cargo loading and 
unloading operations. In addition, the regulation establishes 
requirements for all vessels to obtain permission of the COTP or the 
COTP's designated representative, including the Vessel Traffic Service 
(VTS) aspect of Sector Seattle to enter, move within, or exit these 
security zones when they are enforced. Entry into these zones is 
prohibited unless otherwise exempted or excluded under 33 CFR 165.1321 
or unless authorized by the Captain of the Port or his designee. The 
Captain of the Port Puget Sound will begin enforcing the Budd Inlet 
security zone established by 33 CFR 165.1321 on Thursday, October 27, 
2005, at 8 a.m. Pacific daylight time. The security zone will be 
enforced until Tuesday, November 1, 2005, at 11:59 p.m. Pacific 
standard time. All persons and vessels are authorized to enter, move 
within, and exit the security zone on or after Tuesday, November 1, 
2005, at 11:59 p.m. Pacific standard time unless a new notice of 
enforcement is issued before then.
