SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard will enforce the special 
local regulation in Table 1 to Paragraph (i)(1) in 33 CFR 100.501, for 
the regulated area of the Escape the Cape Swim from 6:30 a.m. to 10:30

specifies the location of the regulated area for the ``Escape the Cape 
Swim'' which encompasses portions of the Delaware Bay off Lower 
Township, NJ. During the enforcement period, as reflected in Sec.

only allowed inside the regulated area to pass through or enter and 
remain within a designated spectator area. A non-participant must 
contact the Event Patrol Commander or an official patrol vessel to 
request permission to either enter the Spectator Area or pass through 
the regulated 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
