London, CT

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of implementation of regulation.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is implementing the permanent regulations for 
the annual Harvard-Yale Regatta, a rowing competition held on the 
Thames River in New London, CT. The regulation controls 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.

DATES: The regulations in 33 CFR 100.101 will be enforced from 9:30 
a.m. on June 12, 2004, until 5 p.m on June 13, 2004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Petty Officer Austin Nagle, Office of 
Search and Rescue, First Coast Guard District, (617) 223-8460.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice implements the permanent special 
local regulation governing the 2004 Harvard-Yale Regatta. The 
regulations in 33 CFR 100.101 will be enforced from 9:30 a.m. until 5 
p.m. on June 12, 2004, with a rain date of June 13, 2004, if the 
regatta is postponed due to inclement weather.
    A portion of the Thames River in New London, Connecticut will be 
closed during the event to all vessel traffic except participants, 
official regatta vessels, patrol craft and spectators as prescribed by 
the regulation. The regulated area is that area of the river between 
the Penn Central drawbridge, now known as the Thames River Amtrak 
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.

    Dated: May 27, 2004.
