This special local regulation would prohibit nonparticipant persons and vessels from entering, transiting through, anchoring in, or remaining within the race area and prohibits vessels from transiting at speeds that cause wake within the spectator area unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Puget Sound or a Designated Representative. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking. Sfmt 4702 On December 8, 2016, Overload Productions notified the Coast Guard that it intends on conducting a high speed water ski race on Commencement Bay. Approximately 40 motor boats and water skiers will be participating in the races and operating at high speeds with limited maneuverability, which poses a significant hazard to race participants and other boaters. In addition the event sponsors anticipate a potential small number of on-water spectators to be present during the races. The Coast Guard published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on May 19, 2017 (82 FR 22934), proposing a special local regulation. We are issuing this supplemental proposal to amend the special local regulation to include August 5, 2017 as a race day, increasing the size of the race area, and extending E:\FR\FM\16JNP1.SGM 16JNP1
