Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 213 / Monday, November 8, 2021 / Rules and Regulations remains the same: A Coast Guard commissioned, warrant, or petty officer who has been designated by the COTP
to act on their behalf.
We changed the defined term of official patrol to official patrol vessel or official patrol in alignment with updated local policy. The text of the definition remains unchanged except for some additional language to allow the Event PATCOM to be augmented by local, state, or federal officials authorized to act in support of the Coast Guard in accordance with local agreements. This revision enhances the resources available to the COTP to ensure the safety and security of the public during these events.
We removed the defined term, spectator, and added definitions for participant and non-participant.
This wording change better reflects who
is actually present in and near regulated areas and how the Coast Guard regulates their activities.
B. Delegation of Authority for Determination of Requirement for a Marine Patrol We amended current paragraph b and c in the final text, delegating authority to the local COTP to determine when a marine patrol is required. This delegation of authority from the District Commander provides the local operational commander with the ability to manage and maintain safety and security for events within their area of responsibility. We have also updated the text to allow for other government agencies to provide safety zone enforcement when working under local agreements and added the term Event Patrol Commander Event

PATCOM. Collectively, these changes enable the local Captain of the Port to retain operational control and incorporate risk based decision making to the event. Finally, a paragraph has been added giving authority to the COTP, COTPR, or Event PATCOM to postpone or cancel the event to ensure the safety of the event and the public.
C. Updates to Recurring Events Table 33
