    Under the provisions of 33 CFR 165.160, a vessel may not enter the 
regulated area unless given express permission from the COTP or the 
designated representative. Spectator vessels may transit outside the 
regulated area but may not anchor, block, loiter in, or impede the 
transit of other vessels. The Coast Guard may be assisted by other 
Federal, State, or local law enforcement agencies in enforcing this 
regulation.
    This notice is issued under authority of 33 CFR 165.160(a) and 5 
U.S.C. 552 (a). In addition to this notice in the Federal Register, the 
Coast Guard will provide mariners with advanced notification of 
enforcement periods via the Local Notice to Mariners and marine 
information broadcasts. If the COTP determines that the regulated area 
need not be enforced for the full duration stated in this notice, a 
Broadcast Notice to Mariners may be used to grant general permission to 
enter the regulated area.

    Dated: June 10, 2013.
