The Coast Guard is proposing to establish a special local regulation (SLR) for certain navigable waters of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AICW) and Beaufort Inlet in Morehead City, North Carolina. This SLR, which would be enforced annually for one weekend each September, would restrict vessel traffic on the AICW and Beaufort Inlet during high-speed boat races. The restriction of vessel traffic movement in the SLR is proposed for the purpose of protecting participants and spectators from the hazards posed by these events. Entry of vessels or persons into this regulated area would be prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port (COTP), North Carolina or a designated representative. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
