SUMMARY: The Coast Guard will enforce the special local regulations for 
the annual Escape From Alcatraz Swim on June 11, 2023 to provide for 
the safety of life on navigable waterways in the San Francisco Bay 
during this event. Our regulation for marine events in Northern 
California identifies the regulated area for this event in San 
Francisco, CA. During the enforcement period, unauthorized persons or 
vessels are prohibited from entering into, transiting through, or 
loitering or anchoring in the regulated area, unless authorized by the 
designated Patrol Commander (PATCOM) or other Federal, State, or local 
law enforcement agencies on scene to assist the Coast Guard in 
enforcing the regulated area.

to Sec.  100.1103, item number 6, for the Escape From Alcatraz Swim 
regulated area from 7 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. on June 11, 2023. This action 
is being taken to provide for the safety of life on navigable waterways 
during this event. Our regulation for marine events within Northern 
California, Sec.  100.1103, specifies the location of the regulated 
area for the Escape From Alcatraz Swim which encompasses portions of 
the San Francisco Bay. During the enforcement period, the regulated 
area will be in effect in the navigable waters, from surface to bottom, 
defined by a line drawn from Alcatraz Island to Saint Francis Yacht 
Club.
    During the enforcement period, under the provisions of 33 CFR 
100.1103(b), if you are the operator of a vessel in the regulated area 
you must comply with directions from the Patrol Commander (PATCOM) or 
any other Official Patrol, defined as a Federal, State, or local law 
enforcement agency on scene to assist the Coast Guard in enforcing the 
regulated area. The PATCOM or Official Patrol may, upon request, allow 
the transit of commercial vessels through regulated areas when it is 
safe to do so.
    In addition to this notification of enforcement in the Federal 
Register, the Coast Guard plans to provide notification of this 
enforcement period via the Local Notice to Mariners. If the Captain of 
the Port determines that the regulated area need not be enforced for 
the full duration stated in this notice, a Broadcast Notice to Mariners 
or other marine broadcast may be used to grant general permission to 
enter the regulated area.

    Dated: May 26, 2023.

Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port San Francisco.
