33 CFR Part 100

[CGD 05-99-011]

Special Local Regulations for Marine Events; Approaches to Annapolis Harbor, Spa Creek, and Severn River, Annapolis, Maryland

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of implementation.

SUMMARY: This notice implements the special local regulations at 33 CFR 100.511 during the 20th Annual Seminar on Safety at Sea, a marine event to be held March 27, 1999, on Spa Creek and the Severn River at Annapolis, Maryland. These special local regulations are necessary to control vessel traffic in the vicinity of the U.S. Naval Academy because of the confined nature of the waterway and expected vessel congestion during the pyrotechnic display and helicopter-rescue demonstration. The effect will be to restrict general navigation in the regulated area for the safety of spectators, event participants, and other vessels transiting the event area.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 33 CFR 100.511 is effective from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on March 27, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Chief Warrant Officer R. L. Houck, Marine Events Coordinator, Commander, Coast Guard Activities Baltimore, 2401 Hawkins Point Road, Baltimore, MD 21226-1971, (410) 576-2674..

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Naval Academy Sailing Squadron will

sponsor the 20th Annual Seminar on Safety at Sea on the Severn River, near the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland. Waterborne activities will include demonstrations of life rafts, pyrotechnics, man-overboard procedures, and a helicopter rescue. To ensure the safety of participants and transiting vessels, 33 CFR 100.511 will be in effect for the duration of the event. Under provisions of 33 CFR 100.511, no vessel may enter the regulated area unless it receives permission from the Coast Guard Patrol Commander. Spectator vessels may anchor outside the regulated area, but may not block a navigable channel. Because these restrictions will be in effect for a limited period, they should not result in a significant disruption of maritime traffic.

Dated: March 3, 1999. Roger T. Rufe, Jr., Vice Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard Commander, Fifth Coast Guard District.
