## Abstract

This rule amends the danger zone regulations by redesignating an aerial firing range as an aerial and surface firing range and increases the use of the firing range and target area in the waters of the Chesapeake Bay. It also increases the use of the firing range from Monday through Saturday, except holidays, to continuous use. The restricted area of the Hannibal Target previously encompassed a water area with a radius of 600 yards. The change increases the radius of the restricted area to 1000 yards, prohibits entry into the areas at all times and prohibits the public from climbing on the targets. These changes are necessary to protect the public from hazardous conditions which may exist as a result of the U.S. Navy's use of the area. Other editorial amendments are made to reflect changes in the Navy's organization.
