SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard was notified by the Historic 
Ships in Baltimore, Inc., on February 6, 2018, through submission of a 
marine event application 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 the biennially scheduled Baltimore Air 
Show, as listed in the table to 33 CFR 100.501. The date of the event 
for this year is changed to October 4, 2018, through October 7, 2018. 
The Coast Guard will enforce the special local regulations in 33 CFR 
100.501 for the Baltimore Air Show regulated area from 11 a.m. through 
5 p.m. on October 4, 2018, from 10:30 a.m. through 5 p.m. on October 5, 
2018, from 11 a.m. through 5 p.m. on October 6, 2018, and from 11 a.m. 
through 5 p.m. on October 7, 2018. Our regulation for marine events 
within the Fifth Coast Guard District, Sec.  100.501, specifies the 
location of the regulated area for the Baltimore Air Show, which 
encompasses portions of the Patapsco River, at Baltimore, MD.
    This action is being taken to provide for the safety of life on 
navigable waterways during the 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 movement of 
all vessels in the regulated area. Vessel operators may request 
permission to enter and transit through a regulated area by contacting 
the Coast Guard patrol commander on VHF-FM channel 16.
    In addition to this notice of enforcement in the Federal Register, 
the Coast Guard plans to provide notification of this enforcement 
period via the Local Notice to Mariners and marine information 
broadcasts.

    Dated: August 7, 2018.
