or a designated representative.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard will enforce the safety zone 
for ``the Great Steam Boat Race'' in 33 CFR 100.801, Table no. 1, Line 
no. 3 on 04/29/2015 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. These regulations can be

    Under the provisions of 33 CFR 100, a vessel may not enter the

enter or remain within 200 yards ahead of the lead vessel, within 200 
yards astern of the last vessel, or within 200 yards on either side of 
any vessel. Spectator vessels may safely transit outside the regulated 
area but may not anchor, block, loiter in, or impede the transit of 
race participants or official patrol vessels. The Coast Guard may be 
assisted by other Federal, State, or local law enforcement agencies in 
enforcing this regulation.
    This rule is issued under authority of 33 CFR 100 and 5 U.S.C. 552 
(a). In addition to this notice in the Federal Register, the Coast 
Guard will provide the maritime community with extensive advance 
notification of this enforcement period via the Local Notice to 
Mariners (LNM) and Broadcast Notice to Mariners (BNM). If the COTP Ohio 
Valley determines that the regulated area need not be enforced for the 
full duration stated in the notice, he or she may use a BNM to grant 
general permission to enter the regulated area.
