Special Local Regulations; City of Charleston, SC

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of termination.

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

SUMMARY: This rulemaking project was initiated to better serve the 
boating public by providing advance notice of the regulated area 
established for the Festival On The Fourth celebrations in Charleston 
Harbor, and to avoid the reoccurring costs of publication related with 
temporary regulations. Since the publishing of the Notice of Proposed 
Rulemaking, the sponsor of the Festival on the Fourth has down-sized 
the event to such an extent that no federal regulations are required. 
Therefore, the Coast Guard is terminating further rulemaking under 
docket number [CGD07-94-017].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: ENS M.J. DaPonte, project officer, 
Coast Guard Group Charleston, SC at [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A notice of proposed rulemaking was 
published in the Federal Register on August 19, 1994 (59 FR 42787), 
inviting comments for a proposed rulemaking which would create a 
regulated area on the Ashley River in Charleston, South Carolina for 
the Festival on the Fourth celebration. The day long event included 
personal watercraft demonstrations, aerial demonstration, ski jumping, 
and kite skiing throughout the day.
    The proposed rulemaking would have created a regulated area between 
Brittle Bank Park and the main river channel. Entry into this regulated 
area would have been prohibited to all non-participants annually on 
July 4, from 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Daylight Time, 
unless otherwise specified in the Seventh Coast Guard District Local 
Notice to Mariners. Since the publication of the Notice of Proposed 
Rulemaking, the event has been down-sized to such an extent that no 
federal regulatory action is needed. Therefore, this rulemaking is no 
longer necessary, and the Coast Guard is terminating further rulemaking 
under docket number [CGD07-94-017].

    Dated: April 22, 1996.
P.J. Cardaci,
Captain U.S. Coast Guard, Acting Commander, Seventh Coast Guard 
District.
