Special Local Regulations for Marine Events; Severn River, 
College Creek, and Weems Creek, Annapolis, MD

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of implementation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is implementing the special local regulations 
at 33 CFR 100.518 for the Navy Crew Rowing Race, a marine event to be 
held April 29 and May 26, 2000 on the waters of the Severn River at 
Annapolis, Maryland. These special local regulations are necessary to 
control vessel traffic due to the confined nature of the waterway and 
expected vessel congestion during the event. The effect will be to 
restrict general navigation in the regulated area for the safety of 
spectators and vessels transiting the event area.

DATES: 33 CFR 100.518 is effective from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. on April 29 
and from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. on May 26, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Chief Warrant Officer R. L. Houck, 
Marine Events Coordinator, Commander, Coast Guard Activities Baltimore, 
2401 Hawkins Point Road, Baltimore, MD 21226-1971, (410) 576-2674.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Naval Academy will sponsor the Navy 
Crew Rowing Races on the waters of the Severn River at Annapolis, 
Maryland. The event will consist of Navy crew rowing teams in 
competition with other crew rowing teams from other universities. In 
order to ensure the safety of participants, spectators and transiting 
vessels, 33 CFR 100.518 will be in effect for the duration of the 
event. Under provisions of 33 CFR 100.518, vessels may not enter the 
regulated area without permission from the Coast Guard Patrol 
Commander. Spectator vessels may anchor outside the regulated area but 
may not block a navigable channel. Because these restrictions will only 
be in effect for a limited period, they should not result in a 
significant disruption of maritime traffic.

    Dated: April 11, 2000.
J.E. Shkor,
Vice Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Commander, Fifth Coast Guard District.
