          - 33 CFR Part 100
          - [Docket No. USCG-2021-0540]
          - RIN 1625-AA08

# 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 Choptank River. The rulemaking was initiated to establish a special local regulation during the “Cambridge Classic Power Boat Regatta,” a marine event to be held on certain waters of the Choptank River at Cambridge, MD. The proposed rule is being withdrawn because it is no longer necessary, as the event sponsor has cancelled the power boat racing event.

# DATES:

The Coast Guard is withdrawing the proposed rule for the event scheduled from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on October 9, 2021, and those same hours on October 10, 2021 published on August 3, 2021 (86 FR 41798) as of September 16, 2021.

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## Background Information and Regulatory History

On August 3, 2021, we published an NPRM entitled “Special Local Regulations; Choptank River, Cambridge, MD” in the **Federal Register** (86 FR 41798). The proposed rulemaking concerned the Coast Guard's establishment of a temporary special local regulation for certain navigable waters of the Choptank River, effective from 9 a.m. on October 9, 2021 through 6 p.m. on October 10, 2021. This action was necessary to provide for the safety of life on these waters during a 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 the Coast Guard Event Patrol Commander.

## Withdrawal

The proposed rule is being withdrawn due to the regulated area no longer being necessary following a cancellation of the power boat racing event by the event sponsor.

## Authority

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

Dated: September 13, 2021.

David E. O'Connell,

Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port Maryland-National Capital  Region.
