Title: Regattas and Marine Parades (CGD 95-054) 
Abstract: In keeping with the National Performance Review and the President's Regulatory Reinvention Initiative, the Coast Guard reviewed its regatta and marine parade permitting regulations and determined that certain revisions are needed to eliminate overly burdensome, unnecessary, and obsolete requirements. The rule establishes various categories of events: those which do not require any notice or a permit because they clearly pose no extra or unusual hazard to safety of life; those which require written notice because they may pose such a hazard; and those which require a permit because they clearly pose such a hazard. This rule eliminates the need for permits, and associated paperwork burden on the public, unless they are necessary to advance the statutory purpose of promoting safety of life during marine events. This rulemaking supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of marine safety and mobility of commercial and recreational vessels.
