Special Local Regulation; Annual
Gasparilla Marine Parade, Hillsborough
Bay, Tampa, FL
Coast Guard, DHS.
Notice of proposed rulemaking.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to
amend the permanent special local
regulation for the Annual Gasparilla
Marine Parade, Hillsborough Bay, and
Tampa Bay, FL. This proposed rule
would change the date of the event by
moving it up one week, from the first
weekend in February to the last
weekend in January. Additionally, this
regulation will create a parade staging
area and a 50 foot safety zone around
officially entered parade boats during
the parade. This action is necessary
because the date on which the parade is
held annually has changed. Restricting
access to the parade staging area box is
necessary to ensure the official parade
boats are properly lined up to begin the
parade. A 50 foot safety zone around
officially entered parade boats is
necessary to ensure the safety of the
parade participants due to safety
concerns caused by an increasing
number of spectator vessels that gather
to watch the parade.
DATES: Comments and related material
must reach the Coast Guard on or before
September 5, 2006.
ADDRESSES: You may mail comments
and related material to Coast Guard
Sector St. Petersburg, Prevention
Department, 155 Columbia Drive,
Tampa, Florida 33606–3598. The
Waterways Management Division
maintains the public docket for this
rulemaking. Comments and material
received from the public, as well as
documents indicated in this preamble as
being available in the docket, will
become part of this docket and will be
available for inspection or copying at
Coast Guard Sector St. Petersburg
between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays.

comments and related material. If you
do so, please include your name and
address, identify the docket number for
this rulemaking (CGD 07–05–156),
indicate the specific section of this
document to which each comment
applies, and give the reason for each
comment. Please submit all comments
and related material in an unbound
format, no larger than 81⁄2 by 11 inches,
suitable for copying. If you would like
to know they reached us, please enclose
a stamped, self-addressed postcard or
envelope. We will consider all
comments and material received during
the comment period. We may change
this proposed rule in view of them.
Public Meeting
We do not now plan to hold a public
meeting. But you may submit a request
for a meeting by writing to Coast Guard
Sector St. Petersburg at the address
under ADDRESSES explaining why one
would be beneficial. If we determine
that one would aid this rulemaking, we
will hold one at a time and place
announced by a later notice in the
Federal Register.
Background and Purpose
The Annual Gasparilla Marine Parade
is currently held annually on the first
Saturday in February and is governed by
a permanent regulation published at 33
CFR 100.734. The Annual Gasparilla
Marine Parade has been moved
permanently to the last Saturday in
January. Law enforcement officials have
also identified a need for a parade
staging area for vessels officially entered
in the parade. This area would prohibit
vessels not officially entered in the
parade from entering the area and allow
for the safe movement and lineup of the
official boats prior to the start of the
parade. Law enforcement personnel also
identified a need for a 50 foot safety
zone around all official parade boats
during the parade due to safety concerns
associated with an increased number of
spectator vessels that gather to watch
the parade.
Discussion of Proposed Rule
This rule is necessary to
accommodate the change in the date of
the event, to create a parade staging
area, and to create a 50 foot safety area
around all official parade boats. The
regulation would change the
enforcement date from the first Saturday
in February to the last Saturday in
January. It would also prohibit vessels
not officially entered in the parade from
entering the parade staging area and

please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES explaining why you think it
qualifies and how and to what degree
this rule would economically affect it.
Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce
burden.
Regulatory Evaluation
This proposed rule is not a
‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866,
Regulatory Planning and Review, and
does not require an assessment of
potential costs and benefits under
section 6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office
of Management and Budget has not
reviewed it under that Order. It is not
‘‘significant’’ under the regulatory
policies and procedures of the
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS).
We expect the economic impact of
this proposed rule to be so minimal that
a full Regulatory Evaluation under the
regulatory policies and procedures of
DHS is unnecessary. The short duration
of this regulation would have little, if
any, economic impact.

feet of all officially entered parade boats
during the parade without prior
permission of Coast Guard Sector St.
Petersburg.
Assistance for Small Entities
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 so that
they can better evaluate its effects on
them and participate in the rulemaking.
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 1–888–REG–
FAIR (1–888–734–3247). The Coast
Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about
this rule or any policy or action of the
Coast Guard.
We have analyzed this proposed rule
under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from
Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This rule is not an economically
significant rule and would not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to
safety that might disproportionately
affect children.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have considered
whether this proposed rule would have
a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
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 have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities. This rule will effect the
following entities, some of which may
be small entities: The owners or
operators of vessels intending to transit
or anchor in a portion of Hillsborough
Bay and its tributaries north of a line
drawn along latitude 27°51′18″
(Coordinates Reference Datum: NAD
1983).
The amendments to the current
existing regulation will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for
the following reasons. This rule is
effective for one day and only
commercial marine traffic will be
precluded from entering the regulated
area. Before the effective period, we will
issue maritime advisories widely
available to users of the waterway.
If you think that your business,
organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity
and that this rule would have a

Collection of Information
This proposed rule would call for no
new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501–3520).
Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism
under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct
effect on State or local governments and
would either preempt State law or
impose a substantial direct cost of
compliance on them. We have analyzed
this proposed rule under that Order and
have determined that it does not have
implications for federalism. 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 or more in any one year.
Though this proposed rule would not
result in such an expenditure, we do
discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.
Taking of Private Property
This proposed rule would not affect a
taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under
Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with
Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.
Civil Justice Reform
This proposed rule meets applicable
standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of
Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice

Protection of Children
Indian Tribal Governments
This proposed rule does not have
tribal implications under Executive
Order 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.
Energy Effects
We have analyzed this proposed rule
under Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have
determined that it is not a ‘‘significant
energy action’’ under that order because
it is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’
under Executive Order 12866 and is not
likely to have a significant adverse effect
on the supply, distribution, or use of
energy. The Administrator of the Office
of Information and Regulatory Affairs
has not designated it as a significant
energy action. Therefore, it does not
require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.
Technical Standards
The National Technology Transfer
and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use
voluntary consensus standards in their
regulatory activities unless the agency
provides Congress, through the Office of
Management and Budget, with an
explanation of why using these
standards would be inconsistent with
applicable law or otherwise impractical.
Voluntary consensus standards are
technical standards (e.g., specifications
of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling
procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or
adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
This proposed rule does not use
technical standards. Therefore, we did
E:\FR\FM\07JYP1.SGM
07JYP1
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 130 / Friday, July 7, 2006 / Proposed Rules
not consider the use of voluntary
consensus standards.
Environment
We have analyzed this proposed rule
under Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guides the Coast
Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and
have made a preliminary determination
that there are no factors in this case that
would limit the use of a categorical
exclusion under section 2.B.2 of the
Instruction. Therefore, we believe that
this rule should be categorically
excluded, under figure 2–1, paragraph
(34)(h), of the Instruction, from further
environmental documentation. As a
special local regulation issued in
conjunction with a marine parade, this
proposed rule satisfies the requirements
of paragraph (34)(h).
Under figure 2–1, paragraph (34)(h),
of the Instruction, an ‘‘Environmental
Analysis Check List’’ is not required for
this rule. Comments on this section will
be considered before we make the final
decision on whether to categorically
exclude this rule from further
environmental review.

Background and Purpose
The Annual Gasparilla Marine Parade is currently held annually on
the first Saturday in February and is governed by a permanent
regulation published at 33 CFR 100.734. The Annual Gasparilla Marine
Parade has been moved permanently to the last Saturday in January. Law
enforcement officials have also identified a need for a parade staging
area for vessels officially entered in the parade. This area would
prohibit vessels not officially entered in the parade from entering the
area and allow for the safe movement and lineup of the official boats
prior to the start of the parade. Law enforcement personnel also
identified a need for a 50 foot safety zone around all official parade
boats during the parade due to safety concerns associated with an
increased number of spectator vessels that gather to watch the parade.
Discussion of Proposed Rule
This rule is necessary to accommodate the change in the date of the
event, to create a parade staging area, and to create a 50 foot safety
area around all official parade boats. The regulation would change the
enforcement date from the first Saturday in February to the last
Saturday in January. It would also prohibit vessels not officially
entered in the parade from entering the parade staging area and
[[Page 38562]]
prohibit vessels from entering within 50 feet of all officially entered
parade boats during the parade without prior permission of Coast Guard
Sector St. Petersburg.
Regulatory Evaluation
This proposed rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review,
and does not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits
under section 6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under that Order. It is not ``significant''
under the regulatory policies and procedures of the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS).
We expect the economic impact of this proposed rule to be so
minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation under the regulatory policies
and procedures of DHS is unnecessary. The short duration of this
regulation would have little, if any, economic impact.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this proposed rule would have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities. 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 have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. This rule will effect the following entities,
some of which may be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels
intending to transit or anchor in a portion of Hillsborough Bay and its
tributaries north of a line drawn along latitude 27[deg]51[min]18[sec]
(Coordinates Reference Datum: NAD 1983).
The amendments to the current existing regulation will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
for the following reasons. This rule is effective for one day and only
commercial marine traffic will be precluded from entering the regulated
area. Before the effective period, we will issue maritime advisories
widely available to users of the waterway.
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.
Assistance for Small Entities
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 so that they can better
evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. 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 1-888-REG-FAIR (1-888-734-3247).
The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that question
or complain about this rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard.
Collection of Information
This proposed rule would call for no new collection of information
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).
Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this proposed rule
under that Order and have determined that it does not have implications
for federalism. 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
or more in any one year. Though this proposed rule would not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.
Taking of Private Property
This proposed rule would not affect a taking of private property or
otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630,
Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected
Property Rights.
Civil Justice Reform
This proposed rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and
3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize
litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.
Protection of Children
We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This rule is not an economically significant rule and would not
create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.
Indian Tribal Governments
This proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 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.
Energy Effects
We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13211,
Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.
Technical Standards
The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did
[[Page 38563]]
not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.
Environment
We have analyzed this proposed rule under Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guides the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and
have made a preliminary determination that there are no factors in this
case that would limit the use of a categorical exclusion under section
2.B.2 of the Instruction. Therefore, we believe that this rule should
be categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(h), of the
Instruction, from further environmental documentation. As a special
local regulation issued in conjunction with a marine parade, this
proposed rule satisfies the requirements of paragraph (34)(h).
Under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(h), of the Instruction, an
``Environmental Analysis Check List'' is not required for this rule.
Comments on this section will be considered before we make the final
decision on whether to categorically exclude this rule from further
environmental review.
