[Docket No. USCG-2020-0464]

Safety Zone; Commencement Bay, Tacoma, WA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of enforcement of regulation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard will enforce safety zone regulations for the 
Tacoma Freedom Fair Air Show on Commencement Bay from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. 
on both September 12, 2020, and September 13, 2020. This action is 
necessary to ensure the safety of the public from inherent dangers 
associated with the annual aerial displays. During the enforcement 
periods, no person or vessel may enter or transit this safety zone 
unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Puget Sound or her 
designated representative.

DATES: The regulations in 33 CFR 165.1305 will be enforced from 1 p.m. 
until 4 p.m. on September 12, 2020, and September 13, 2020.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about this 
notice of enforcement, call or email Chief Warrant Officer William E. 
Martinez, Sector Puget Sound Waterways Management Division, U.S. Coast 
Guard; telephone 206-217-6051, email SectorPugetSoundWWM@uscg.mil.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard will enforce the safety zone 
in 33 CFR 165.1305 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on September 12, 2020, and 
September 13, 2020 unless the COTP of Puget Sound grants general 
permission to enter the regulated area during these stated enforcement 
periods. This action is being taken to provide for the safety of life 
on navigable waterways during the aerial demonstrations above the 
waterway.
    The safety zone resembles a rectangle protruding from the shoreline 
along Ruston Way and will be marked by the event sponsor. The specific 
coordinates of the safety zone location are listed in 33 CFR 165.1305.
    As specified in Sec.  165.1305(c), during the enforcement periods, 
no vessel may transit the regulated area without approval from the COTP 
or a COTP designated representative. The COTP may be assisted by other 
federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies in enforcing this 
regulation.
    In addition to this notice of enforcement in the Federal Register, 
the Coast Guard plans to provide notification of this enforcement 
period via the Local Notice to Mariners, marine information broadcasts 
during the day of the event. If the COTP determines the safety zone 
need not be enforced for the full duration stated in the notice of 
enforcement, she may use a Broadcast Notice to Mariners to grant 
general permission to enter the regulated area.

    Dated: July 30, 2020.
L.A. Sturgis,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port Puget Sound.
