SUMMARY: This notice puts into effect the permanent regulations for the 
annual Harvard-Yale Regatta, a rowing competition held on the Thames 
River in New London, CT. The regulation is necessary to control vessel 
traffic within the immediate vicinity of the event due to the confined 
nature of the waterway and anticipated congestion at the time of the 
event, thus providing for the safety of life and property on the 
affected navigable waters.

and June 4, 2001, from 2:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Search and Rescue, First Coast Guard District, (617) 223-8460.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: These regulations will be effective from 
2:30 p.m. until 8 p.m. on June 3, 2001. If the event is cancelled due 
to inclement weather, then these regulations will be effective from 
2:30 p.m. until 8 p.m. on June 4, 2001.
    This notice implements the permanent special local regulation 
governing the 2001 Harvard-Yale Regatta. A portion of the Thames River 
in New London, Connecticut will be closed during the effective period 
to all vessel traffic except participants, official regatta vessels, 
and patrol craft. The regulated area is that area of the river between 
the Penn Central drawbridge and Bartlett's Cove. Additional public 
notification will be made via the First Coast Guard District Local 
Notice to Mariners and marine safety broadcasts. The full text of this 
regulation is found in 33 CFR 100.101.
