safety of life on navigable waterways during this event. Our regulation 
for marine events within the Captain of the Port Charleston identifies 
the regulated area for this event in Charleston, SC. During the 
enforcement periods, the operator of any vessel in the regulated area 
must comply with directions from the Captain of the Port Charleston or 
a designated representative.

DATES: The regulations in 33 CFR 100.704 will be enforced for the 
location identified in Item 9 of Table 1 to Sec.  100.704, from 9 a.m. 
through 3 p.m. on September 18, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard will enforce special local 
regulations in 33 CFR 100.704, Table 1 to Sec.  100.704, Item 9, for 
the Swim Around Charleston regulated area from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on 
September 18, 2022. This action is being taken to provide for the 
safety of life on navigable waterways during this event. Our regulation 
for marine events within the Captain of the Port Charleston, Sec.  
100.704, specifies the location of the regulated area for the Swim 
Around Charleston as a moving safety zone including all waters 50 yards 
in front of the lead safety vessel preceding the first race 
participants, 50 yards behind the safety vessel trailing the last race 
participants, and at all times extends 100 yards on either side of 
safety vessels. The Swim Around Charleston swimming race consists of a 
12 mile course that starts at Remley's Point on the Wando River in 
approximate position 32[deg]48'49'' N, 79[deg]54'27'' W, crosses the 
main shipping channel under the main span of the Ravenel Bridge, and 
finishes at the I-526 bridge and boat landing on the Ashley River in 
approximate position 32[deg]50'14'' N, 80[deg]01'23'' W. During the 
enforcement periods, as reflected in Sec.  100.704(c)(1), if you are 
the operator of a vessel in the regulated area you must comply with 
directions from the Captain of the Port Charleston or a designated 
representative.
    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 marine 
information broadcasts.
