Our regulation for southern California annual fireworks events for the

the events. Under the provisions of 33 CFR 165.1123, a vessel may not 
enter the regulated area, unless it receives permission from the 
Captain of the Port, or his designated representative. Spectator 
vessels may safely transit outside the regulated area but may not 
anchor, block, loiter, or impede the transit of participants or 
official patrol vessels. The Coast Guard may be assisted by other 
Federal, State, or Local law enforcement agencies in enforcing this 
regulation.
    This document is issued under authority of 33 CFR 165.1123 and 5 
U.S.C. 552(a). In addition to this document in the Federal Register, 
the Coast Guard will provide the maritime community with advance 
notification of this enforcement period via the Local Notice to 
Mariners and local advertising by the event sponsor.
    If the Captain of the Port or his designated representative 
determines that the regulated area need not be enforced for the full 
duration stated on this document, he or she may use a Broadcast Notice 
to Mariners or other communications coordinated with the event sponsor 
to grant general permission to enter the regulated area.
