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

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

    In addition to this notice of enforcement in the Federal Register,
