SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard will enforce the safety zone 
in 33 CFR 165.1305 for the Tacoma Freedom Air Show on Commencement Bay 
from 2 p.m. on July 3 through 12:30 a.m. on July 4, 2021. 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 period, 
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 that the safety 
zone need not be enforced for the full duration stated in the notice of 
enforcement, they will use a Broadcast Notice to Mariners or Local 
Notice to Mariners to grant general permission to enter the regulated 
area.

    Dated: April 29, 2021.

Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port Sector Puget Sound.
