SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Coast Guard will enforce the special regulations as described in section (a), row (8) of the table to in 33 CFR 100.501 for the Thunder Over the Boardwalk Air Show from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on August 20 and August 21, 2019. The published enforcement periods for this event include the 3rd Tuesday and Wednesday in August. Because an additional air show practice over these same waters is scheduled for Monday, August 19, 2019, and poses similar hazards to safety of life, we are also issuing a separate special local regulation from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on that day as well.
