    Discussion of Regulation
    
        The Chincoteague Volunteer Fire-Company submitted an application to 
    hold this year's Pony Penning Swim on July 26, 1995, in the Assateague 
    Channel. Since this event is of the type contemplated by these 
    regulations and the safety of the participants and spectators viewing 
    this event will be enhanced, the regulations in 33 CFR 100.519 are 
    implemented. The swim is an annual event held the last Wednesday in 
    July. Ponies swim across Assateague Channel to Chincoteague, Virginia, 
    and the following Friday swim back across the channel to Assateague 
    Island. To provide for the safety of participants, spectators, and 
    vessels transiting the area, the Coast Guard will restrict vessel 
    movement in the regulated area during the time the ponies are in the 
    water.
    
        Date: June 15, 1995.
    W.J. Ecker,
    Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Commander, Fifth Coast Guard District.
