                local law enforcement agencies on scene to assist the Coast Guard in
                enforcing the regulated area.

                 The safety zones will be enforced from 8:30 p.m. until 9:45 p.m. on
                December 31, 2021, or as announced via Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
                 In addition to this notification in the Federal Register, the Coast
                Guard plans to provide notification of the safety zone and its
                enforcement period via the Local Notice to Mariners.
                 Under the provisions of 33 CFR 165.1191, unauthorized persons or
                vessels are prohibited from entering into, transiting through, or
                anchoring in the safety zone during all applicable effective dates and
                times, unless authorized to do so by the PATCOM 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.
                Additionally, each person who receives notice of a lawful order or
                direction issued by the PATCOM or Official Patrol shall obey the order
                or direction. The PATCOM or Official Patrol may, upon request, allow
                the transit of commercial vessels through regulated areas when it is
                safe to do so.
                 If the Captain of the Port determines that the regulated area need
                not be enforced for the full duration stated in this notice, a
                Broadcast Notice to Mariners may be used to grant general permission to
                enter the regulated area.
                 Dated: December 6, 2021.
