SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 3, 2013, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking 
entitled ``Special Local Regulations; Marine Events, Spa Creek and 
Annapolis Harbor; Annapolis, MD'' in the Federal Register (78 FR 
20066). The rulemaking concerned the Coast Guard's proposal to 
establish temporary special local regulations on specified waters of 
Spa Creek and Annapolis Harbor at Annapolis, MD, effective from 6 a.m. 
to 9:30 a.m. on July 20, 2013. The regulated area included all waters 
of the Spa Creek and Annapolis Harbor, from shoreline to shoreline, 
bounded by a line drawn near the entrance of Spa Creek originating at 
latitude 38[deg]58'40'' N, longitude 076[deg]28'49'' W, thence south to 
latitude 38[deg]58'32'' N, longitude 076[deg]28'45'' W. The regulated 
area is bounded to the southwest by a line drawn from latitude 
38[deg]58'34'' N, longitude 076[deg]29'05'' W thence south to latitude 
38[deg]58'27'' N, longitude 076[deg]28'55'' W, located at Annapolis, 
MD. The regulations were needed to temporarily restrict vessel traffic 
during the event to provide for the safety of participants, spectators 
and other transiting vessels.

Withdrawal

    The Coast Guard is withdrawing this rulemaking because the event 
has been cancelled.

Authority

    We issue this notice of withdrawal under the authority of 33 U.S.C. 
1233.

    Dated: June 3, 2013.

Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port Baltimore.
