Discussion of Regulations

    The race sponsor, Tri-City Water Follies, submitted an application 
to hold this year's race on July 28, 29, and 30, 1995. The event is the 
30th Annual Kennewick, Washington, Columbia Unlimited Hydroplane Race. 
Fifty formula one unlimited hydroplanes will participate in the races 
which will consist of several five-boat heats traveling around an oval 
course. The location of the race is midstream on the Columbia River, 
between the western end of Hydro Island, river mile 332, and the 
western end of Clover Island, river mile 329. Because this is the type 
of event contemplated by the regulations, and the safety of the 
participants, spectators, and vessels transiting the area would be 
enhanced by the implementation of the special local regulations for 
this regulated area, the regulations in 33 CFR 100.1303 are being 
implemented.

    Dated: June 23, 1995.
