Discussion of Rule

    On August 26, 1995, the United States Offshore Racing Association 
will hold the Barnegat Bay Classic in Barnegat Bay between Island Beach 
and the mainland. If weather conditions do not allow the Barnegat Bay 
Classic to be held on August 26, 1995, it will be held, weather 
permitting, on August 27, 1995. The event will consist of approximately 
fifty to sixty powerboats, ranging from 24 to 36 feet in length, racing 
on a designated course within the regulated area described in 33 CFR 
100.502(a). To enhance the safety of the participants in and spectators 
of the Barnegat Bay Classic, Commander, Fifth Coast Guard District is 
placing 33 CFR 100.502 in effect during this event. Although this rule 
will restrict general navigation within the designated area, 
waterbourne traffic will not be severely disrupted because the 
Intracoastal Waterway will remain open for passage.

    Dated: August 11, 1995.

W.J. Ecker,

Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard Commander, Fifth Coast Guard District.
