SUMMARY: The Coast Guard will enforce a special local regulation for

Hambrooks Bay and Choptank River, Cambridge, MD, during May 13-14,
2017. This date is a change to those listed for the annually scheduled
event, as indicated in U.S. Coast Guard regulations, because the event
sponsor changed the scheduled date of this annual power boat race.

designated marine event patrol may forbid and control the movement of
all vessels in the regulated area. This action is necessary to ensure
safety of life on navigable waters during the event.
