[Docket No. USCG-2017-0342]


Special Local Regulations and Safety Zones; Recurring Marine 
Events and Fireworks Displays Within the Fifth Coast Guard District

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of enforcement of regulation.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard will enforce a special local regulation for 
the Cambridge Classic Powerboat Race scheduled to take place on 
Hambrooks Bay and Choptank River, Cambridge, MD, during May 13-14, 
2017. This date is a change to those listed for the annually scheduled 
event, as indicated in U.S. Coast Guard regulations, because the event 
sponsor changed the scheduled date of this annual power boat race. 
During the enforcement period, the Coast Guard patrol commander or 
designated marine event patrol may forbid and control the movement of 
all vessels in the regulated area. This action is necessary to ensure 
safety of life on navigable waters during the event.

Cambridge Classic Power Boat Race will be enforced from 9:30 a.m. to

notice of enforcement, call or email Mr. Ron Houck, U.S. Coast Guard 
Sector Maryland-National Capital Region (WWM Division); telephone 410-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard was notified by the 
Cambridge Power Boat Racing Association, Inc. on January 21, 2017 
through submission of a marine event application and during a March 28, 
2017 pre-event meeting with the sponsor that, due to a scheduling 
change, a change of dates is necessary to the dates previously 
published in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for this annually 
scheduled marine event, as listed in the Table to 33 CFR 100.501. The 
date of the annual power boat race is changed to May 13, 2017 and May 
14, 2017. The Coast Guard will enforce the regulated area in 33 CFR 
100.501 from 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on May 13, 2017, and 9:30 a.m. to 
6:30 p.m. on May 14, 2017, for the Cambridge Classic Powerboat Race. 
This action is being taken to provide for the safety of life on 
navigable waterways during this event. As specified in Sec.  
100.501(c), during the enforcement period, the Coast Guard patrol 
commander or designated marine event patrol may forbid and control the
