SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    The Coast Guard was notified by the Cambridge Power Boat Racing 
Association, Inc. on January 30, 2018, through submission of a marine 
event application, that due to a scheduling change, a change of dates 
is necessary to the dates previously published in the Code of Federal 
Regulations (CFR) for the annually scheduled Cambridge Classic 
Powerboat Race, as listed in the Table to 33 CFR 100.501. The date of 
the event is changed to May 19, 2018 and May 20, 2018. The Coast Guard

Sec.  100.501, specifies the location of the regulated area for the 
Cambridge Classic Powerboat Race, which encompasses portions of 
Hambrooks Bay and the Choptank River, at Cambridge, MD.
    The Coast Guard was notified by NAS Patuxent River on February 14, 
2018 through submission of a marine event application that, due to a 
scheduling change, a change of dates is necessary to the dates 
previously published in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for the 
biennially scheduled NAS Patuxent River Air Show, as listed in the 
Table to 33 CFR 100.501. The date of the event is changed to from May 
31, 2018 through June 3, 2018. The Coast Guard will enforce the special 
local regulations in 33 CFR 100.501 for the NAS Patuxent River Air Show 
regulated area from 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. each day from May 31, 2018 
through June 3, 2018. Our regulation for marine events within the Fifth 
Coast Guard District, Sec.  100.501, specifies the location of the 
regulated area for the NAS Patuxent River Air Show, which encompasses 
portions of the Patuxent River and Chesapeake Bay, at Patuxent River, 
MD.
    This action is being taken to provide for the safety of life on 
navigable waterways during these events. As specified in Sec.  
100.501(c), during the enforcement periods, the Coast Guard patrol 
commander or designated marine event patrol may forbid and control the 
movement of all vessels in the regulated area. Vessel operators may 
request permission to enter and transit through a regulated area by 
contacting the Coast Guard patrol commander on VHF-FM channel 16.
    This notice of enforcement is issued under authority of 33 CFR 
100.501(f) and 5 U.S.C. 552(a). In addition to this notice of

                                              1 Compliant Materials of Construction: The material used in constructing each enclosed stowage compartment must at least be fire resistant
                                           and must meet the flammability standards established for interior components (i.e., part 25 Appendix F, Parts I, IV, and V) per the requirements
                                           of § 25.853. For compartments less than 25 ft.3 in interior volume, the design must ensure the ability to contain a fire likely to occur within the
                                           compartment under normal use.
                                              2 Smoke or Fire Detectors: Enclosed stowage compartments equal to or exceeding 25 ft3 in interior volume must be provided with a smoke- or
                                           fire-detection system to ensure that a fire can be detected within a one-minute detection time. Flight tests must be conducted to show compli-
                                           ance with this requirement. Each system (or systems) must provide:
                                              (a) A visual indication in the flight deck within one minute after the start of a fire.
                                              (b) An aural warning in the OPSC.
                                              (c) A warning in the main passenger cabin. This warning must be readily detectable by a flight attendant, taking into consideration the loca-
                                           tions of flight attendants throughout the main passenger compartment during various phases of flight.
                                              3 Liner: If material used in constructing the stowage compartment can be shown to meet the flammability requirements of a liner for a Class B
                                           cargo compartment (i.e., § 25.855 at amendment 25–116, and Appendix F, part I, paragraph (a)(2)(ii)), then no liner would be required for en-
                                           closed stowage compartments equal to or greater than 25 ft.3 but less than 57 ft.3 in interior volume. For all enclosed stowage compartments
                                           equal to or greater than 57 ft.3 in interior volume but less than or equal to 200 ft.3, a liner must be provided that meets the requirements of
                                           § 25.855 for a Class B cargo compartment.
                                              4 Fire-Location Detector: If an OPSC has enclosed stowage compartments exceeding 25 ft.3 interior volume and that are located separately
                                           from the other stowage compartments (located, for example, away from one central location, such as the entry to the OPSC or a common area
                                           within the OPSC, where the other stowage compartments are), that OPSC would require additional fire-protection features or devices to assist
                                           the firefighter in determining the location of a fire.
