[Docket No. USCG-2018-0382]

Safety Zone; Southern California Annual Fireworks for the San 
Diego Captain of the Port Zone

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of enforcement of regulation.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard will enforce a safety zone for the Sea World 
Fireworks on the waters of Mission Bay, CA, on September 1 through 2, 
2018. This safety zone is necessary to provide for the safety of the 
participants, spectators, official vessels of the events, and general 
users of the waterway. Our regulation for the Southern California 
annual fireworks for the San Diego Captain of the Port Zone identifies 
the regulated area for the events. During the enforcement period, no 
spectators shall anchor, block, loiter in, or impede the transit of 
official patrol vessels in the regulated area without the approval of 
the Captain of the Port, or his designated representative.

DATES: The regulations in 33 CFR 165.1123, Table 1, Item 7, will be 
enforced from 8:30 p.m. through 10:30 p.m. on September 1 through 
September 2, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this 
publication, call or email Lieutenant Junior Grade Briana Biagas, 
Waterways Management, U.S. Coast Guard Sector San Diego, CA; telephone 
619-278-7656, email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard will enforce the regulations 
in 33 CFR 165.1123 for a safety zone for the Sea World Fireworks on the 
waters of Mission Bay, CA, in 33 CFR 165.1123, Table 1, Item 7 of that 
section, from 8:30 p.m. through 10:30 p.m. on September 1 through 2, 
2018. This action is being taken to provide for the safety of life on 
navigable waterways during the fireworks events. Our regulation for 
Southern California annual fireworks events for the San Diego Captain 
of the Port Zone identifies the regulated area for 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

the Coast Guard will provide the maritime community with advance 
notification of this enforcement period via the Local Notice to 
Mariners, a Safety Marine Information Broadcast on VHF-FM radio, 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
