persons or vessels are prohibited from entering into, transiting 
through, or anchoring in the regulated area, unless authorized by the 
Patrol Commander (PATCOM) or other Federal, State, or local law 
enforcement agencies on scene to assist the Coast Guard in enforcing 
the regulated area.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard will enforce the special 
local regulation in 33 CFR 100.1103, Table 1 to Sec.  100.1103, item 
number 1 for the Blessing of the Fleet regulated area from 8:30 a.m. to 
1:30 p.m. on April 25, 2021. This action is being taken to provide for 
the safety of life on navigable waterways during this event. Our 
regulation for marine events within Northern California, Table 1 to 
Sec.  100.1103, item number 1, specifies the location of the regulated 
area for the Blessing of the Fleet which will occur in Raccoon Strait 
in the San Francisco Bay. From 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on April 25, 2021 
the regulated area will be in effect and is defined as the navigable 
waters, from surface to bottom, between a line drawn from Bluff Point 
on the southeastern side of Tiburon Peninsula to Point Campbell on the 
northern edge of Angel Island, and a line drawn from Peninsula Point on 
the southern edge of Tiburon Peninsula to Point Stuart on the western 
edge of Angel Island. This notice of enforcement applies to the entire 
regulated area.
    During the enforcement period, under the provisions of 33 CFR 
100.1103(b) if you are the operator of a vessel in the regulated area 
you must comply with directions from the Patrol Commander or other 
Official Patrol, defined as a Federal, State, or local law enforcement 
agency on scene to assist the Coast Guard in enforcing the regulated 
area. During the enforcement period, if you are the operator of a 
vessel that participates in the regulated area, you must follow the 
parade route determined by the marine event sponsor and comply with 
directions from the Patrol Commander or other Official Patrol.
    In addition to this notice of enforcement in the Federal Register, 
the Coast Guard plans to provide notification of this enforcement 
period via the Local Notice to Mariners.
    If the Captain of the Port determines that the regulated area need 
not be enforced for the full duration stated in this notice of 
enforcement, a Broadcast Notice to Mariners may be used to grant 
general permission to enter the regulated area.

    Dated: April 15, 2021.
