location of the regulated area for the Opening Day on San Francisco Bay 
Boat Parade which will occur in the San Francisco Bay. From 11:30 a.m.

Fort Point; thence easterly approximately 5,000 yards; thence easterly

of Pier 39; thence returning along the shoreline to the point of 
origin.
    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 or 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. During the enforcement period, if you are the operator of a 
vessel that participates in the marine event within the regulated area, 
you must follow the parade route determined by the marine event sponsor 
and comply with directions from the Patrol Commander or other Official 
Patrol.
    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. If the Captain of the Port 
determines that the regulated area 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 the regulated 
area.
