This regulation is necessary to ensure safety during a powerboat regatta by prohibiting persons and vessels from entering the regulated area unless they are registered participants or authorized by the Captain of the Port Pittsburgh or a designated representative. The regulation is effective from June 6, 2026, through June 7, 2026, and enforced daily from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. The rule aims to protect event participants, non-participants, and transiting vessels from potential hazards associated with the event.
