Homeland Security Department, Coast Guard
The Coast Guard proposes revising regulations for a special local regulation (SLR) established to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards inherent in a recurring sailboat race with a starting point on navigable waters of the Narragansett Bay, in Newport, RI. These revisions would modify the precise location of the starting point and make other changes. As under the current rule, non-participating persons and vessels would be prohibited from being in the regulated area unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port, Sector Southeastern New England. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
