Special Local Regulations for Marine Events; Delaware River, Philadelphia, PA and Camden, NJ

Zusammenfassung

On August 18, 2005, the Coast Guard published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register requesting public comments regarding establishment of temporary special local regulations for "The Liberty Grand Prix", a power boat race to be held on the waters of the Delaware River, adjacent to Philadelphia, PA and Camden, NJ. On September 13, 2005, the Coast Guard learned that this marine event was proposed to be conducted at a different date and time than previously published in the NPRM. This rule changes the dates of the temporary regulated area. These special local regulations are necessary to provide for the safety of life on navigable waters during the event. This action is intended to restrict vessel traffic between the Walt Whitman and Benjamin Franklin bridges in the Delaware River during the power boat race.
