its center in position 46[deg]46'40'' N, 090[deg]47'22'' W. During the 
enforcement periods, as reflected in Sec.  165.943(c), if you are the

prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Duluth or their 
designated on-scene representative. The Captain of the Port's 
designated on-scene representative may be contacted via VHF Channel 16. 
In addition to this notification of enforcement in the Federal 
Register, the Coast Guard plans to provide notification of this 
enforcement period via a Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
