AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard proposes to
add, delete, and modify safety zones for
annual marine events in the Coast
Guard Sector Long Island Sound

would restrict vessels from portions of
water areas during certain annually
recurring events. The safety zones are
intended to expedite public notification
and ensure the protection of the
maritime public and event participants
from the hazards associated with certain
maritime events. We invite your
comments on this proposed rulemaking.
DATES: Comments and related material
must be received by the Coast Guard on
or before June 23, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
II. Background, Purpose, and Legal
Basis
Previously, the Coast Guard
promulgated safety zones for most of the
events associated with this rule and
received no public comments. The most
recently promulgated rulemaking was
on May 24, 2013 when the Coast Guard
published a Final Rule, entitled, ‘‘Safety
Zones and Special Local Regulations;
Recurring Marine Events in Captain of
the Port Sector Long Island Sound
Zone’’ in the Federal Register (78 FR
31402).
The purpose of this rulemaking is to
carry out three related actions: (1)
Establishing new necessary safety zones,
(2) removing safety zones that are no
longer needed, and (3) updating and
reorganizing existing regulations for
ease of use and reduction of
administrative overhead.
The Coast Guard proposes this
rulemaking under authority in 33 U.S.C.
1231; 50 U.S.C. 191; 33 CFR 1.05–1,
6.04–1, 6.04–6, and 160.5; Department
of Homeland Security Delegation No.
0170.1, which collectively authorize the
Coast Guard to establish regulatory
safety zones.
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
The Coast Guard proposes to revise
section 33 CFR 165.151 ‘‘Safety Zones;
Fireworks Displays, Air Shows and
Swim Events in the Captain of the Port
Long Island Sound Zone’’ by
establishing one new permanent safety
zone, removing twenty-four existing
safety zones, and modifying twenty
existing safety zones. By proposing
these permanent regulation updates, we
PO 00000
Frm 00017
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
32695
are providing the public with an
opportunity to comment on these
changes. This rulemaking limits the
unnecessary burden of continually
establishing temporary rules every year
for events that occur on an annual basis.
(1) Establishing New Marine Event
Regulated Areas
This rule proposes to establish one
new permanent marine event safety
zone under 33 CFR 165.151. The events
listed in the revised 33 CFR 165.151
table are all fireworks displays
throughout the Sector Long Island
Sound Captain of the Port Zone. The
event created by this rule is 5.1
Bridgeport Bluefish May Fireworks.
Event location and details are listed
below in the text of the regulation. Due
to the pyrotechnics detonation and
burning debris, a safety zone is needed
to protect both spectators and
participants from the safety potential
hazards. This rule would permanently
establish a safety zone that restricts
vessel movement around the location of
the marine event to reduce the safety
risks associated with it.
During the enforcement period of the
safety zone, persons and vessels would
be prohibited from entering, transiting
through, remaining, anchoring, or
mooring within the safety zone unless
specifically authorized by the COTP or
the designated representative. Persons
and vessels would be able to request
authorization to enter, transit through,
remain, anchor, or moor within the
safety zone by contacting the COTP
Sector Long Island Sound by telephone
at (203) 468–4401, or designated
representative via VHF radio on channel
16. If authorization to enter, transit
through, remain, anchor, or moor within
the regulated area is granted, all persons
and vessels receiving authorization
would be required to comply with the
instructions of the COTP or designated
representative.
The Coast Guard COTP Sector Long
Island Sound or designated
representatives would enforce the safety
zone. These designated representatives
are comprised of commissioned,
warrant, and petty officers of the Coast
Guard. The Coast Guard may be assisted
by other federal, state and local agencies
in the enforcement of these safety zones.
(2) Remove Old Safety Zones That Are
No Longer Needed
This rulemaking proposes to remove
the following twenty-four safety zones
from Table 1 to § 165.151: 5.1 Jones
Beach Air Show, as the regulation will
be moved to 33 CFR 100.100 at the

IV. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed rule after
considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders (E.O.s) related to
rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on a number of these
statutes and E.O.s, and we discuss First
Amendment rights of protestors.
A. Regulatory Planning and Review
E.O.s 12866 and 13563 direct agencies
to assess the costs and benefits of
available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select
regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. E.O. 13563 emphasizes the
importance of quantifying both costs
and benefits, of reducing costs, of
harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. This NPRM has not been
designated a ‘‘significant regulatory
action,’’ under E.O. 12866. Accordingly,
the NPRM has not been reviewed by the
Office of Management and Budget.
The Coast Guard determined that this
proposed rulemaking is not a significant
regulatory action for the following
reasons: The safety zones are of limited
duration and vessels may transit the
navigable waterways outside of the
safety zones. Persons or vessels
requiring entry into the safety zones
may be authorized to do so by the COTP
Sector Long Island Sound or designated
representative.
Advanced public notifications will
also be made to local mariners through
appropriate means, which may include
but is not limited to Local Notice to
Mariners and Broadcast Notice to
Mariners.
B. Impact on Small Entities
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of
1980, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, as amended,
requires Federal agencies to consider
the potential impact of regulations on
small entities during rulemaking. The
term ‘‘small entities’’ comprises small
businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and
operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions
with populations of less than 50,000.
The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C.
605(b) that this proposed rule would not
E:\FR\FM\24MYP1.SGM
24MYP1
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 100 / Tuesday, May 24, 2016 / Proposed Rules
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities.
While some owners or operators of
vessels intending to transit the safety
zone may be small entities, for the
reasons stated in section IV.A above this
proposed rule would not have a
significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator.
If you think that your business,
organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity
and that this rule would have a
significant economic impact on it,
please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it
qualifies and how and to what degree
this rule would economically affect it.
Under section 213(a) of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121),
we want to assist small entities in
understanding this proposed rule. If the
rule would affect your small business,
organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions
concerning its provisions or options for
compliance, please contact the person
listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section. The Coast Guard will
not retaliate against small entities that
question or complain about this
proposed rule or any policy or action of
the Coast Guard.
mstockstill on DSK3G9T082PROD with PROPOSALS
C. Collection of Information
This proposed rule would not call for
a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520).
D. Federalism and Indian Tribal
Governments
A rule has implications for federalism
under E.O. 13132, Federalism, if it has
a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government. We have analyzed
this proposed rule under that Order and
have determined that it is consistent
with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements
described in E.O. 13132.
Also, this proposed rule does not have
tribal implications under E.O. 13175,
Consultation and Coordination with
Indian Tribal Governments, because it
would not have a substantial direct
effect on one or more Indian tribes, on
the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes. If you
believe this proposed rule has
implications for federalism or Indian
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:13 May 23, 2016
Jkt 238001
tribes, please contact the person listed
in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section above.
E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires
Federal agencies to assess the effects of
their discretionary regulatory actions. In
particular, the Act addresses actions
that may result in the expenditure by a
State, local, or tribal government, in the
aggregate, or by the private sector of
$100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or
more in any one year. Though this
proposed rule would not result in such
an expenditure, we do discuss the
effects of this rulemaking elsewhere in
this preamble.
F. Environment
We have analyzed this proposed rule
under Department of Homeland
Security Management Directive 023–01
and Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guide the Coast
Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and have made a
preliminary determination that this
action is one of a category of actions that
do not individually or cumulatively
have a significant effect on the human
environment. This proposed rule
involves the establishment of safety
zones. It is categorically excluded from
further review under paragraph 34(g) of
Figure 2–1 of Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD. A preliminary
environmental analysis checklist
supporting this determination and a
Categorical Exclusion Determination are
available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES. We seek any
comments or information that may lead
to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this
proposed rule.
G. Protest Activities
The Coast Guard respects the First
Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the
person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to
coordinate protest activities so that your
message can be received without
jeopardizing the safety or security of
people, places, or vessels.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Under the Regional Haze Rule,1 each
state is required to submit a progress
report in the form of a SIP revision
every five years that evaluates progress
towards the RPGs for each mandatory
Class I Federal area (also referred to as
Class I area in this rulemaking) within
the state and for each mandatory Class
I Federal area outside the state which
may be affected by emissions from
within the state. See 40 CFR 51.308(g).
Each state is also required to submit, at
the same time as the progress report, a
determination of the adequacy of the
state’s existing regional haze plan. See
40 CFR 51.308(h). The first progress
report is due five years after submittal
of the initial regional haze plan. On
March 19, 2010, FDEP submitted the
State’s first regional haze plan in
accordance with 40 CFR 51.308(b).2
On March 10, 2015, FDEP submitted
its regional haze progress report,
reporting progress made in the first
implementation period towards RPGs
for Class I areas in the State and for
Class I areas outside the State that are

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis
Previously, the Coast Guard promulgated safety zones for most of
the events associated with this rule and received no public comments.
The most recently promulgated rulemaking was on May 24, 2013 when the
Coast Guard published a Final Rule, entitled, ``Safety Zones and
Special Local Regulations; Recurring Marine Events in Captain of the
Port Sector Long Island Sound Zone'' in the Federal Register (78 FR
31402).
The purpose of this rulemaking is to carry out three related
actions: (1) Establishing new necessary safety zones, (2) removing
safety zones that are no longer needed, and (3) updating and
reorganizing existing regulations for ease of use and reduction of
administrative overhead.
The Coast Guard proposes this rulemaking under authority in 33
U.S.C. 1231; 50 U.S.C. 191; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-1, 6.04-6, and 160.5;
Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1, which
collectively authorize the Coast Guard to establish regulatory safety
zones.
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
The Coast Guard proposes to revise section 33 CFR 165.151 ``Safety
Zones; Fireworks Displays, Air Shows and Swim Events in the Captain of
the Port Long Island Sound Zone'' by establishing one new permanent
safety zone, removing twenty-four existing safety zones, and modifying
twenty existing safety zones. By proposing these permanent regulation
updates, we are providing the public with an opportunity to comment on
these changes. This rulemaking limits the unnecessary burden of
continually establishing temporary rules every year for events that
occur on an annual basis.
(1) Establishing New Marine Event Regulated Areas
This rule proposes to establish one new permanent marine event
safety zone under 33 CFR 165.151. The events listed in the revised 33
CFR 165.151 table are all fireworks displays throughout the Sector Long
Island Sound Captain of the Port Zone. The event created by this rule
is 5.1 Bridgeport Bluefish May Fireworks. Event location and details
are listed below in the text of the regulation. Due to the pyrotechnics
detonation and burning debris, a safety zone is needed to protect both
spectators and participants from the safety potential hazards. This
rule would permanently establish a safety zone that restricts vessel
movement around the location of the marine event to reduce the safety
risks associated with it.
During the enforcement period of the safety zone, persons and
vessels would be prohibited from entering, transiting through,
remaining, anchoring, or mooring within the safety zone unless
specifically authorized by the COTP or the designated representative.
Persons and vessels would be able to request authorization to enter,
transit through, remain, anchor, or moor within the safety zone by
contacting the COTP Sector Long Island Sound by telephone at (203) 468-
4401, or designated representative via VHF radio on channel 16. If
authorization to enter, transit through, remain, anchor, or moor within
the regulated area is granted, all persons and vessels receiving
authorization would be required to comply with the instructions of the
COTP or designated representative.
The Coast Guard COTP Sector Long Island Sound or designated
representatives would enforce the safety zone. These designated
representatives are comprised of commissioned, warrant, and petty
officers of the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard may be assisted by other
federal, state and local agencies in the enforcement of these safety
zones.
(2) Remove Old Safety Zones That Are No Longer Needed
This rulemaking proposes to remove the following twenty-four safety
zones from Table 1 to Sec. 165.151: 5.1 Jones Beach Air Show, as the
regulation will be moved to 33 CFR 100.100 at the Table to Sec.
100.100. 5.2 Greenport Spring Fireworks, as the event has been
[[Page 32696]]
discontinued. 7.2 Cancer Center for Kids Fireworks, as the event has
not been held since 2011 and the sponsoring organization, The Friends
of the Cancer Center for Kids, has confirmed that they do not intend to
hold the event again in the foreseeable future. 7.10 City of New Haven
Fireworks, as the event has not been held since 2008 and the sponsoring
organization, the City of New Haven, has confirmed that they do not
intend to hold the event again in the foreseeable future. 7.14 Fund in
the Sun Fireworks, as the event has not been held since 2010 and the
sponsoring organization, the Shelter Island Yacht Club, has confirmed
that they do not intend to hold the event again in the foreseeable
future. 7.19 Jones Beach State Park Fireworks, as the regulation will
be moved to the 33 CFR 100.100 at the Table to Sec. 100.100. 7.20
Madison Cultural Arts Fireworks, as the event has been discontinued.
7.22 Patchogue Chamber of Commerce Fireworks, as the event has been
discontinued. 7.26 Village of Quoque Foundering Anniversary Fireworks,
as the event has not been held since 2009 and the sponsoring
organization, the Village of Quoque, has confirmed that they do not
intend to hold the event again in the foreseeable future. 7.28 Great
South Bay Music Festival Fireworks, as the event has been discontinued.
7.31 Clam Shell Foundation Fireworks, as the regulation will be moved
to the table to 100.100. 7.32 Town of North Hempstead Bar Beach
Fireworks, as the event is not in Sector Long Island Sound's AOR. 7.41
Niantic Bay Fireworks, as the event has been discontinued. 7.43 North
Bay Fourth of July Fireworks, as the event has been discontinued. 7.46
Irwin family 4th of July, as the event has been discontinued. 7.47
Westbrook July Celebration, as this is a duplicate entry of 7.3 City of
Westbrook, CT July Celebration Fireworks. 8.1 Village of Bellport
Fireworks, as this is not a reoccurring event. 8.2 Taste of Italy
Fireworks, as this is not a reoccuring event. 8.5 Shelter Island Yacht
Club Fireworks, as the event has been discontinued. 9.2 Town of Islip
Labor Day Fireworks, as the event has been discontinued. 9.5 Archangel

as the event is not in Sector Long Island Sound's AOR. 11.1 Charles W.
Morgan Anniversary Fireworks, as the event has been discontinued. 12.1
Greenport Winter Fireworks, as the event has been discontinued.
This rulemaking also proposes to delete all seven of the safety
zones from Table 2 to Sec. 165.151: 1.1 Swim Across the Sound, as the
regulation will be moved to 33 CFR 100.100 at the Table to Sec.
100.100. 1.2 Huntington Bay Open Water Championships Swim, as the
regulation will be moved to 33 CFR 100.100 at the Table to Sec.

the regulation will be moved to 33 CFR 100.100 at the Table to Sec.
100.100. 1.4 Waves of Hope Swim, as the regulation will be moved to 33
CFR 100.100 at the Table to Sec. 100.100. 1.5 Stonewall Swim, as the
regulation will be moved to 33 CFR 100.100 at the Table to Sec.
100.100. 1.6 Swim Across America Greenwich, as the regulation will be
moved to 33 CFR 100.100 at the Table to Sec. 100.100. 1.7 US Coast
Guard Triathlon Swim, as this is not a reoccurring event.
(3) Modify and Update Existing Regulated Areas
Due to the deletion of twenty-four cites within Table 1 to Sec.
165.151, several of the remaining cites will be renumbered to fill the
vacancies created by the deleted cites. The cite numbers used in this

IV. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and Executive orders (E.O.s) related to rulemaking. Below we summarize
our analyses based on a number of these statutes and E.O.s, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.
A. Regulatory Planning and Review
E.O.s 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the costs and
benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is
necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits.
E.O. 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and
benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. This NPRM has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under E.O. 12866. Accordingly, the NPRM has not
been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget.
The Coast Guard determined that this proposed rulemaking is not a
significant regulatory action for the following reasons: The safety
zones are of limited duration and vessels may transit the navigable
waterways outside of the safety zones. Persons or vessels requiring
entry into the safety zones may be authorized to do so by the COTP
Sector Long Island Sound or designated representative.
Advanced public notifications will also be made to local mariners
through appropriate means, which may include but is not limited to
Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
B. Impact on Small Entities
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this
proposed rule would not
[[Page 32697]]
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
IV.A above this proposed rule would not have a significant economic
impact on any vessel owner or operator.
If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.
Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule. If the rule would affect
your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you
have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that
question or complain about this proposed rule or any policy or action
of the Coast Guard.
C. Collection of Information
This proposed rule would not call for a new collection of
information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520).
D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments
A rule has implications for federalism under E.O. 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and
have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in E.O. 13132.
Also, this proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
E.O. 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. If
you believe this proposed rule has implications for federalism or
Indian tribes, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section above.
E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this proposed rule would not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this
rulemaking elsewhere in this preamble.
F. Environment
We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have made
a preliminary determination that this action is one of a category of
actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant
effect on the human environment. This proposed rule involves the
establishment of safety zones. It is categorically excluded from
further review under paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2-1 of Commandant
Instruction M16475.lD. A preliminary environmental analysis checklist
supporting this determination and a Categorical Exclusion Determination
are available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. We seek
any comments or information that may lead to the discovery of a
significant environmental impact from this proposed rule.
G. Protest Activities
The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places, or vessels.
