II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis The Coast Guard was notified by Chattajack LLC of a proposed rowing event on the Tennessee River. The event would take place on October 23, 2021
from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. However, the

requested river closure was for the first 2 hours of the race, from 7 a.m. to 9
a.m.. The COTP has determined that there is a need to protect the participants of the rowing event due to the high concentration of rowers at the start of the event between MM 462.7
and MM 465.5 on the Tennessee River.
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034
previously 33 U.S.C. 1231. The COTP
has determined that there is a need to provide additional safety measures for the participants in the Chattajack rowing event, and a temporary special local regulation is needed. This propsed rule is needed to protect life and the marine environment in the navigable waters within the temporary special local regulation during the first two hours of the event.
The purpose of this proposed rulemaking is to ensure the safety of the participants in the Chattjack event within a 2.8 mile span of the river where there will be a high concentration of rowers.. The Coast Guard is proposing this rulemaking under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034 previously 33 U.S.C. 1231.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553d3, the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for making this rule effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date of this rule would be contrary to the public interest as the temporary special local regulation has to be established by October 23, 2021 to provide for the safety of life on these navigable waters III. Discussion of Proposed Rule This proposed rule would establish a special local regulation from 7 a.m. until 9 a.m. on October 23, 2021. The proposed temporary special local regulation would cover all navigable waters of the Tennessee River between miles 462.7 to 465.5. The duration of the regulated area is intended to protect the rowers in the Chattajack event during the period where there will be a high concentration of rowers. No vessel or person would be permitted to enter the special local regulation without obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated representative. Persons or vessels seeking to enter the special local regulation must request permission from the COTP or a designated representative on VHFFM radio channel 16 or phone at 18002537465. If permission is granted, all persons and vessels shall comply with the instructions of the COTP or designated representative. The COTP or a designated representative will inform the public of the enforcement times and date for this special local regulation through
