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The proposed rule is being withdrawn due to a regulated area no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.
