representative. Spectator vessels may transit outside the safety zones 
but may not anchor, block, loiter in, or impede the transit of other 
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 165.160(a) and 5 
U.S.C. 552(a). In addition to this notification in the Federal
