the Fifth Coast Guard District, table 1 to paragraph (h)(1) to 33 CFR 
165.506, entry 10 specifies the location of the regulated area as all 
waters of the Delaware River, adjacent to Penn's Landing, Philadelphia,

reflected in Sec.  165.506(d), vessels may not enter, remain in, or 
transit through the safety zone unless authorized by the Captain of the 
Port or designated Coast Guard patrol personnel on-scene.
    In addition to this notice of enforcement in the Federal Register, 
the Coast Guard will provide notification of this enforcement period
