SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On July 27, 2016, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking 
entitled ``Special Local Regulation; Little Annemessex River and Somers 
Cove, Crisfield, MD'' in the Federal Register (81 FR 17774). The 
rulemaking concerned the Coast Guard's proposal to establish temporary 
special local regulations on specified waters of Little Annemessex 
River and Somers Cove at Crisfield, MD, effective from 5:30 a.m. on 
September 17, 2016 until 10 a.m. on September 18, 2016. The regulated 
area included all navigable waters of the Little Annemessex River and 
Somers Cove, from shoreline to shoreline, bounded to the north by a 
line drawn from the eastern shoreline of Janes Island at latitude 
37[deg]58'39'' N., longitude 075[deg]52'05'' W., and thence eastward to 
the Crisfield City Dock at latitude 37[deg]58'39'' N., longitude 
075[deg]51'50'' W., and bounded to the south by a line drawn from Long

has been cancelled.
