Discussion of Regulations

    The Wilmington Family YMCA submitted an application to hold the 
swim portion of the 16th Annual Wilmington Family YMCA--Physicians 
Health Plan Triathlon at Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. The swim 
portion of the triathlon will consist of approximately 700 swimmers 
racing in a section of the Wrightsville Channel. The regulations in 33 
CFR 100.513 govern the activities of the swim portion of the triathlon 
in Wrightsville Channel between Wrightsville Channel Daybeacon 18 (LLNR 
28050) and Wrightsville Channel Daybeacon 23 (LLNR 28065). Because the 
swim portion of the triathlon is an event of the type contemplated by 
these regulations, the safety of the participants will be enhanced by 
the implementation of the special local regulations. The waterway will 
be closed during the event. Since the waterway will not be closed for 
an extended period, commercial traffic should not be severely 
disrupted.

    Dated: July 8, 1994.
W.J. Ecker,
Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard Commander, Fifth Coast Guard District by 
Direction of the Commandant.
