Full Text
Published
May 15, 2026
Summary

The Coast Guard is proposing to amend its special local regulations (SLR) for marine events within the USCG East District by adding SLRs for three recurring events located in the Virginia Captain of the Port Zone. This Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) would provide for the safety of life on the navigable waters of the York River, the East River, and the Elizabeth River Western Branch during high speed boat races which are typically held on each of those rivers annually. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.

Constitutional Analysis
First Amendment – Free Speech neutral 80% confidence

The proposed regulations do not directly affect free speech but may impact the expression of participants during marine events.

Fourteenth Amendment – Due Process restricts 80% confidence

The regulations may impose restrictions on activities during marine events, potentially affecting due process rights related to property and personal freedoms.
