SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Table of Abbreviations CFR Code of Federal Regulations COTP Captain of the Port DHS Department of Homeland Security Event PATCOM Event Patrol Commander FR Federal Register NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking Section U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis The Cambridge Power Boat Regatta Association of Cambridge, MD, notified the Coast Guard that it will be conducting the Cambridge Classic Power Boat Regatta from 10 a.m. to 5
p.m. on October 9, 2021, and from 10
a.m. to 5 p.m. on October 10, 2021. The high-speed power boat racing event consists of approximately 60
participating inboard and outboard hydroplane and runabout race boats of various classes, 16 to 24 feet in length.
The vessels will be competing on a designated, marked 1-mile oval course located in the Choptank River in a cove located between Hambrooks Bar and the shoreline at Cambridge, MD. Hazards from the power boat racing event include risks of injury or death resulting from near or actual contact among participant vessels and spectator vessels or waterway users if normal vessel traffic were to interfere with the event.
Additionally, such hazards include participants operating near designated navigation channels, as well as operating near approaches to local public boat ramps, private marinas and yacht clubs, and waterfront businesses.
The COTP Maryland-National Capital Region has determined that potential hazards associated with the power boat races would be a safety concern for anyone intending to operate within certain waters of the Choptank River at Cambridge, MD.
The purpose of this rulemaking is to protect event participants, spectators, and transiting vessels on certain waters of Choptank River before, during, and after the scheduled event. The Coast Guard proposes this rulemaking under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70041.
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule The COTP Maryland-National Capital Region is proposing to establish special local regulations from 9 a.m. on October 9, 2021, until 6 p.m. on October 10, 2021. The special local regulations would be enforced from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
on October 9th and those same hours on October 10th. The regulated area would

cover all navigable waters within Choptank River and Hambrooks Bay bounded by a line connecting the following coordinates: Commencing at the shoreline at Long Wharf Park, Cambridge, MD, at position latitude 383430 N, longitude 0760416 W;
thence east to latitude 383420 N, longitude 0760346 W; thence northeast across the Choptank River along the Senator Frederick C. Malkus, Jr. US50 Memorial Bridge, at mile 15.5, to latitude 383530 N, longitude 0760252 W; thence west along the shoreline to latitude 383538 N, longitude 0760309 W; thence north and west along the shoreline to latitude 383642 N, longitude 0760415 W;
thence southwest across the Choptank River to latitude 383531 N, longitude 0760457 W; thence west along the Hambrooks Bay breakwall to latitude 383533 N, longitude 0760517 W;
thence south and east along the shoreline to and terminating at the point of origin in Dorchester County, MD.
This proposed rule provides additional information about areas within the regulated area, and the restrictions that apply to mariners.
These areas include a Race Area, Buffer Area and Spectator Area.
The proposed duration of the rule and size of the regulated area are intended to ensure the safety of life on these navigable waters before, during, and after the high-speed power boat races, scheduled from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. on October 9, 2021 and October 10, 2021.
The COTP and Coast Guard Event Patrol Commander Event PATCOM would have authority to forbid and control the movement of all vessels and persons, including event participants, in the regulated area. When hailed or signaled by an official patrol, a vessel or person in the regulated area would be required to immediately comply with the directions given by the COTP or Event PATCOM. If a person or vessel fails to follow such directions, the Coast Guard may expel them from the area, issue them a citation for failure to comply, or both.
Except for Cambridge Classic Power Boat Regatta participants and vessels already at berth, a vessel or person would be required to get permission from the COTP or Event PATCOM
before entering the regulated area while the rule is being enforced. Vessel operators could request permission to enter and transit through the regulated area by contacting the Event PATCOM
on VHFFM channel 16. Vessel traffic would be able to safely transit the regulated area once the Event PATCOM
deems it safe to do so. A person or vessel not registered with the event
