    On March 29, 2005, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking 
entitled ``Special Local Regulations for Marine Events; Piankatank 
River, Gloucester County, VA'' in the Federal Register (70 FR 15788).

for the safety of life on navigable waters during the event.

environmental review. All comments and documents received in this 
docket will be available for use in future rulemakings.
