SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 6, 2020, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking 
entitled ``Special Local Regulation; Choptank River, Hambrooks Bay, 
Cambridge, MD'' in the Federal Register (85 FR 26903). The rulemaking 
concerned was proposing to establish temporary special local 
regulations for certain waters of the Choptank River in Cambridge, MD 
on July 25, 2020 and July 26, 2020. This action was necessary to 
provide for the safety of life on these waters during a high-speed 
power boat racing event. This rulemaking would have prohibited persons 
and vessels from entering the regulated area unless authorized by the 
Captain of the Port Maryland-National Capital Region or a designated 
representative.

Withdrawal

    The proposed rule is being withdrawn due to a regulated area no 
longer being necessary following a cancellation of the high-speed power 
boat racing event by the event sponsor.

Authority

    We are issuing this notice of withdrawal under the authority of 46 
U.S.C. 70034.

    Dated: June 5, 2020.
Joseph B. Loring,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port Sector Maryland-National 
Capital Region.
