33 CFR Part 100

[Docket No. CGD05-07-084]


Special Local Regulations for Marine Events; Sunset Lake, 
Wildwood Crest, NJ

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of enforcement of regulation.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard will enforce special local regulations for the 
Sunset Lake Hydrofest on Sunset Lake from 8:30 a.m. September 29, 2007 
through 5:30 p.m. September 30, 2007. This action is necessary to 
provide for the safety of life on navigable waters during the event. 
During the enforcement period, vessel traffic will be restricted in 
portions of Sunset Lake during the event.

DATES: The regulations in 33 CFR 100.536 will be enforced from 8:30 
a.m. September 29, 2007 through 5:30 p.m. September 30, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dennis Sens, Regulatory project 
manager, Inspections and Investigations Branch, at (757) 398-6204.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard 
finds that good cause exists for giving notice of the enforcement date 
less than 30 days before the enforcement period goes into effect. 
Delaying notice of the enforcement date would be contrary to the public 
interest, since immediate action is needed to ensure the safety of the 
event participants, support vessels, spectator craft and other vessels 
transiting the event area. However advance notification of this 
recurring event is being given to users of Sunset Lake via marine 
information broadcasts, local notice to mariners, commercial radio 
stations and area newspapers.
    The Coast Guard will enforce the special local regulations for the 
annual Sunset Lake Hydrofest on Sunset Lake, New Jersey in 33 CFR 
100.536 from 8:30 a.m. on September 29, 2007, through 5:30 p.m. 
September 30, 2007. Annually, the Sunset Lake Hydrofest Association 
sponsors this event on the waters of Sunset Lake near Wildwood Crest, 
New Jersey. The event consists of approximately 100 inboard 
hydroplanes, Jersey speed skiffs and flat-bottom ski boats racing in 
heats counter-clockwise around an oval racecourse.
    Under the provisions of 33 CFR 100.536, except for event 
participants and persons or vessels authorized by the Coast Guard 
Patrol Commander, no person or vessel may enter or remain in the 
regulated area. Additionally, when authorized by the Patrol Commander 
to transit the regulated area, all vessels shall proceed at the minimum 
speed necessary to maintain a safe course that minimizes wake near the 
race course.
    This notice is issued under authority of 33 CFR 100.536 and 5 
U.S.C. 552(a). In addition to this notice in the Federal Register, the 
Coast Guard will provide the maritime community with extensive advance 
notification of this enforcement via the Local Notice to Mariners, 
marine information broadcasts, local radio stations and area 
newspapers.

    Dated: September 11, 2007.
Neil O. Buschman,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Commander, Fifth Coast Guard District, 
Acting.
