SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 27, 2016, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
entitled ``Special Local Regulation; Little Annemessex River and Somers
Cove, Crisfield, MD'' in the Federal Register (81 FR 17774). The
rulemaking concerned the Coast Guard's proposal to establish temporary
special local regulations on specified waters of Little Annemessex
River and Somers Cove at Crisfield, MD, effective from 5:30 a.m. on
September 17, 2016 until 10 a.m. on September 18, 2016. The regulated
area included all navigable waters of the Little Annemessex River and
Somers Cove, from shoreline to shoreline, bounded to the north by a
line drawn from the eastern shoreline of Janes Island at latitude
37[deg]58'39'' N., longitude 075[deg]52'05'' W., and thence eastward to
the Crisfield City Dock at latitude 37[deg]58'39'' N., longitude
075[deg]51'50'' W., and bounded to the south by a line drawn from Long
Point on Janes Island at latitude 37[deg]58'12'' N., longitude

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.

has been cancelled.
