RIN 1625-AA08


Special Local Regulation; Nanticoke River, Sharptown, MD

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking; withdrawal.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is withdrawing its proposed rule to establish 
temporary special local regulations for certain waters of the Nanticoke 
River. The rulemaking was initiated to establish a special local 
regulation during the ``Sharptown Regatta,'' a marine event to be held 
on certain waters of the Nanticoke River at Sharptown, MD. The proposed 
rule is being withdrawn because it is no longer necessary. The event 
sponsor will no longer be conducting the power boat racing event.

DATES: The Coast Guard is withdrawing the proposed rule for the event 
scheduled from noon to 5 p.m. on May 13, 2022, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. 
on May 14, 2022, and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on May 15, 2022, and 
published on March 14, 2022, (87 FR 14193) as of April 27, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background Information and Regulatory History

    On March 14, 2022, we published an NPRM entitled ``Special Local 
Regulation; Nanticoke River, Sharptown, MD'' in the Federal Register 
(87 FR 14193). The Coast Guard proposed to establish a temporary 
special local regulation for certain navigable waters of the Nanticoke 
River from 11 a.m. on May 13, 2022, through 6 p.m. on May 15, 2022. 
This action was necessary to provide for the safety of life on these 
waters during a power boat racing event on May 14, 2022, and May 15, 
2022, as well as pre-race practice on May 13, 2022. 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 the Coast Guard Event Patrol Commander.

Withdrawal

    The proposed rule is being withdrawn due to the regulated area no 
longer being necessary because the event sponsor will no longer be 
conducting the power boat racing event.

Authority

    We issue this notice of withdrawal under the authority of 46 U.S.C. 
70041.

     Dated: April 21, 2022.
James R. Bendle,
Commander, U.S. Coast Guard, Acting Captain of the Port Maryland-
National Capital Region.
