This enforcement action is being taken to provide for the safety of

Captain of the Port Zone identifies the regulated areas for the Big Bay 
Boom Fourth of July Fireworks event which encompasses multiple portions 
of San Diego Bay. Under the provisions of 33 CFR 165.1123, a vessel may 
not enter the regulated area, unless it receives permission from the 
Captain of the Port, or his designated representative. Spectator 
vessels may safely transit outside the regulated area but may not 
anchor, block, loiter, or impede the transit of participants or 
official patrol vessels. The Coast Guard may be assisted by other 
Federal, State, or Local law enforcement agencies in enforcing this 
regulation.
    In addition to this document in the Federal Register, the Coast 
Guard will provide the maritime community with advance notification of 
this enforcement period via the Local Notice to Mariners and local 
advertising by the event sponsor.
    If the Captain of the Port or his designated representative 
determines that the regulated area need not be enforced for the full 
duration stated on this document, he or she may use a Broadcast Notice 
to Mariners or other communications coordinated with the event sponsor 
to grant general permission to enter the regulated area.

    Dated: June 14, 2019.
