SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The safety zone for the Fleet Week Maritime

    In accordance with the general regulations in 33 CFR Part 165, 
Subpart C, no vessel operator may enter, transit, moor, or anchor 
within this safety zone thirty minutes prior to the beginning, during

be assisted by other federal, state, or local agencies as needed.
    In order to transit through this safety zone, authorization must be 
granted by the Captain of the Port, Puget Sound or his designated

the safety zone is necessary and the vessel's arrival and/or departure

no longer within the safety zone.
    This notice is issued under authority of 33 CFR 165.1330 and 5 
U.S.C. 552(a). In addition to this notice in the Federal Register, the
