This action is being taken to provide for the safe control vessel movements in the vicinity of the race and provide for the safety of the general boating public and commercial shipping. Our regulation for marine events within the Captain of the Port Detroit zone in Sec. 100.902(a) specifies the location of the regulated area for the Annual Bayview Mackinac Race. During the enforcement period, no vessel may enter the regulated area without prior approval from the Coast Guard's designated Patrol Commander (PATCOM). The PATCOM may restrict vessel operation within the regulated area to vessels having particular operating characteristics. Vessels desiring to transit the regulated area may do so only with prior approval of the PATCOM and when so directed by that officer. The PATCOM may be contacted on Channel 16 (156.8 MHZ) by the call sign ``Coast Guard Patrol Commander.'' Vessels permitted to transit the regulated area will operate at no wake speed and in a manner which will not endanger participants in the event or any other craft. If the District Commander, Captain of the Port, or PATCOM determines that the regulated area need not be enforced for the full duration stated in this notice, he or she may use a Broadcast Notice to Mariners to grant general permission to enter the regulated area.
