U.S. Naval Academy Crew Races, a marine event to be held May 26, 2002, 
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.

EFFECTIVE DATES: 33 CFR 100.518 is effective from 5 a.m. to 8 a.m. on 
May 26, 2002.

Point Road, Baltimore, MD 21226-1971, at (410) 576-2674.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Naval Academy will sponsor crew 
races on the waters of the Severn River at Annapolis, Maryland. The 
event will consist of intercollegiate crew rowing teams racing along a 
2000-meter course on the waters of the Severn River. A fleet of 
spectator vessels is expected to gather near the event site to view the 
competition. 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.
    In addition to this notice, the maritime community will be provided 
extensive advance notification via the Local Notice to Mariners, marine 
information broadcasts, and area newspapers, so mariners can adjust 
their plans accordingly.
