Special Local Regulations; San Diego Crew Classic

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of implementation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice implements 33 CFR 100.1101, ``Southern California 
Annual Marine Events,'' for the San Diego Crew Classic. This event 
consists of approximately 150 eight-oared shells with coxswains running 
in numerous heats over a two-day period. These regulations will be 
effective in the portion of Mission Bay, San Diego bounded by Enchanted 
Cove, Fiesta Island, Pacific Passage and De Anza Point. Implementation 
of section 33 CFR 100.1101 is necessary to control vessel traffic in 
the regulated areas during the event to ensure the safety of 
participants and spectators. Small craft wakes cause unsafe conditions 
for these racing shells.

EFFECTIVE DATES: Section 33 CFR 100.1101 is effective from 7 a.m. on 
March 30, 1996 and terminates at 8 p.m. on March 31, 1996 unless 
cancelled earlier by the San Diego Activities Commander.
