Special Local Regulations for Marine Events; Approaches to 
Annapolis Harbor, Spa Creek, and Severn River, Annapolis, Maryland

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

[[Page 13239]]


ACTION: Notice of implementation.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is implementing the special local regulations 
for the 22nd Annual Safety at Sea Seminar, a marine event to be held 
March 31, 2001, on the waters of Spa Creek and 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 100.511 is effective from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on March 
31, 2001.

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 Sailing Squadron will 
sponsor the 22nd Annual Safety at Sea Seminar on the waters of the 
Severn River Spa Creek at Annapolis, Maryland. Waterbone activities 
will include demonstrations of life rafts, pyrotechnics, man overboard 
procedures, and a helicopter rescue. In order to ensure the safety of 
participants, spectators and transiting vessels, 33 CFR 100.511 will be 
in effect for the duration of the event. Under provisions of 33 CFR 
100.511, 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: February 22, 2001.
T.C. Paar,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Acting Commander, Fifth Coast Guard 
District.
