SUMMARY: The Coast Guard will enforce Seattle's Seafair Fleet Week 
Moving Vessels security zones from 10 a.m. on July 29, 2019, through 6 
p.m. on August 4, 2019. These security zones are necessary to help 
ensure the security of the vessels from sabotage or other subversive 
acts during Seafair Fleet Week Parade of Ships. The designated 
participating vessels are: HMCS NANAIMO (MM 702), HMCS EDMONTON (MM 
703), and USCGC ACTIVE (WMEC 618). During the enforcement period, no 
person or vessel may enter or remain in the security zones without the 
permission of the Captain of the Port (COTP), Puget Sound or her 
designated representative. The COTP has granted general permission for 
vessels to enter the outer 400 yards of the security zones as long as 
those vessels within the outer 400 yards of the security zones operate 
at the minimum speed necessary to maintain course unless required to 
maintain speed by the navigation rules.

DATES: The regulations in 33 CFR 165.1333 will be enforced from 10 a.m. 
July 29, 2019, through 6 p.m. on August 4, 2019, unless cancelled 
sooner by the Captain of the Port Puget Sound or her designated 
representative.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard will enforce the security 
zones for Seattle's Seafair Fleet Week Moving Vessels in 33 CFR 
165.1333 from 10 a.m. on July 29, 2019, through 6 p.m. on August 4, 
2019.
    In accordance with the general regulations in 33 CFR part 165, 
subpart D, no person or vessel may enter or remain in the security 
zones without the permission of the Captain of the Port, Puget Sound or 
her designated representative. For 2019, the following areas are Sec.  
165.1333 security zones: All navigable waters within 500 yards of HMCS 
NANAIMO (MM 702), HMCS EDMONTON (MM 703), and USCGC ACTIVE (WMEC 618) 
while each such vessel is in the Sector Puget Sound COTP Zone.
    The COTP has granted general permission for vessels to enter the 
outer 400 yards of the security zones as long as those vessels within 
the outer 400 yards of the security zones operate at the minimum speed 
necessary to maintain course unless required to maintain speed by the 
navigation rules. The COTP may be assisted by other federal, state or 
local agencies with the enforcement of the security zones.
    All vessel operators who desire to enter the inner 100 yards of the 
security zones or transit the outer 400 yards at greater than minimum 
speed necessary to maintain course must obtain permission from the COTP 
or her

designated representative by contacting the on-scene patrol craft on 
VHF Ch 13 or Ch 16. Requests must include the reason why movement 
within this area is necessary. Vessel operators granted permission to 
enter the security zones will be escorted by the on-scene patrol craft 
until they are outside of the security zones.
    In addition to this notice of enforcement, the Coast Guard will 
provide the maritime community with advanced notification of the 
security zones via the Local Notice to Mariners and marine information 
broadcasts on the day of the event. In the event that there are changes 
to the participating vessels, due to operational requirements, the 
Coast Guard will provide actual notice for any additional designated 
participating vessels not covered in this notice.
    In addition, members of the public may contact Sector Puget Sound 
COTP at 206-217-6002 for an up-to-date list of designated participating 
vessels. If the COTP determines that the security zones need not be 
enforced for the full duration stated in this notice of enforcement, a 
Broadcast Notice to Mariners may be used to grant general permission to 
enter all portions of the regulated areas.

    Dated: June 18, 2019.

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