SUMMARY: The Coast Guard will enforce a special local regulation for 
the Around the Island Paddle on June 25, 2023. This action is necessary 
to provide for the safety of life on navigable waterways during this 
event. Our regulation for marine events within the Fifth Coast Guard 
District identifies the regulated area for this event. During the 
enforcement period, the operator of any vessel in the regulated area 
must comply with directions from the Patrol Commander or any Official 
Patrol displaying a Coast Guard ensign. Non-participants must request 
permission to enter the regulated area.

DATES: The regulation 33 CFR 100.501 will be enforced for the special 
local regulation listed in Table 1 to Paragraph (i)(1) of Sec.  100.501 
for the Around the Island Paddle from 8 a.m. through 1 p.m. on June 25, 
2023.

notice of enforcement, you may call or email Petty Officer Dylan

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 Around the Island Paddle from 8 a.m. through 
1 p.m. on June 25, 2023. 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 Fifth Coast Guard District, Sec.  100.501, 
specifies the location of the regulated area for the ``Around the 
Island Paddle'' which encompasses portions of Cape May Harbor, Atlantic 
Ocean, and Delaware Bay in Cape May, NJ. During the enforcement period, 
as reflected in Sec.  100.100(g), if you are the operator of a vessel 
in the regulated area, you must comply with directions from the Patrol 
Commander or any Official Patrol displaying a Coast Guard ensign. Non-
participants are 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 
Notice to Mariners.
