SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 18, 2014, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking 
entitled ``Special Local Regulations for Marine Events, Choptank River; 
Between Cambridge, MD and Trappe, MD'' in the Federal Register (79 FR 
15068). The rulemaking concerned the Coast Guard's proposal to 
establish temporary special local regulations on specified waters of 
Choptank River between Cambridge, MD and Trappe, MD, effective from 9 
a.m. to 3 p.m. on May 20, 2014. The regulated area included all waters 
of the Choptank River, from shoreline to shoreline, within and area 
bounded on the east by a line drawn from latitude 38[deg]35'13'' N, 
longitude 076[deg]02'33'' W, thence south to latitude 38[deg]33'50'' N, 
longitude 076[deg]02'07'' W, and bounded on the west by a line drawn 
from latitude 38[deg]35'37'' N, longitude 076[deg]03'09'' W, thence 
south to latitude 38[deg]34'25'' N, longitude 076[deg]04'05'' W, 
located at Cambridge, MD. The regulations were needed to temporarily 
restrict vessel traffic during the event to provide for the safety of 
participants, spectators and other transiting vessels.

Withdrawal

    The Coast Guard is withdrawing this rulemaking because the event 
has been cancelled.

Authority

    We issue this notice of withdrawal under the authority of 33 U.S.C. 
1233.

    Dated: April 16, 2014.

Commander, U.S. Coast Guard, Acting Captain of the Port Baltimore.
