Special Local Regulations. Special local regulations for a regatta or marine parade
authorized by 33 CFR 100 shall usually be promulgated only in those limited
circumstances in which past experience has shown that such special local regulations are
necessary. The authority to promulgate special local regulations cannot be delegated by
the district commander.
g.
Regatta Patrols. The district commander or delegate may assign a Coast Guard regatta
patrol. A patrol must be assigned if special local regulations are issued. The primary

Guard vessels and Auxiliary facilites may be used to patrol events. All vessels on regatta
patrol shall display proper identification. Instructions for the use of Auxiliarists on regatta
patrols are found in the Auxiliary Operations Policy Manual (COMDTINST
