the safety of life on navigable waterways in the American River and

loitering or anchoring in the regulated area, unless authorized by the 
designated Patrol Commander (PATCOM) or other Federal, State, or local 
law enforcement agencies on scene to assist the Coast Guard in 
enforcing the regulated area.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard will enforce the special 
local regulations in 33 CFR 100.1103, table 1 to Sec.  100.1103, Item 
number 5, for the Sacramento Ironman Swim regulated area from 4:30 a.m. 
to 10:30 a.m. on October 22, 2023. This action is being taken to 
provide for the safety of life on navigable waterways during this 
event. The regulation for marine events within Northern California, 
Sec.  100.1103, specifies the location of the regulated area for the 
Sacramento Ironman Swim which encompasses portions of the American 
River and Sacramento River. During the enforcement period, the 
regulated area will be in effect in the navigable waters, from surface 
to bottom, defined by a line drawn from Township 9 Park to North of the 
Tower Bridge.
    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 (PATCOM) or 
any 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. The PATCOM or Official Patrol may, upon request, allow 
the transit of commercial vessels through regulated areas when it is 
safe to do so.
    In addition to this notification 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 notification, a Broadcast Notice to 
Mariners or other marine broadcast may

be used to grant general permission to enter the regulated area.

    Dated: October 12, 2023.
