Special Local Regulations; Recurring
Marine Events in the Seventh Coast

Coast Guard, DHS.
Final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is creating
special local regulations to regulate
recurring marine events in the Seventh
Coast Guard District. These regulations
will apply to all permitted events listed
on the table attached to the regulation,
and include events such as regattas,
parades, and fireworks displays. These
regulations are being created to reduce
the Coast Guard’s administrative
workload and expedite public
notification of events.
DATES: This rule is effective 30 days
after publication in the Federal
Register.
Comments and material
received from the public, as well as
documents indicated in this preamble as
being available in the docket, are part of
docket [USCG–2007–0179] and are
available for inspection or copying at

Regulatory Information
On November 13, 2007, we published
a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled Special Local
Regulations; Recurring Marine Events in
the Seventh Coast Guard District
Federal Register (72 FR 63839) under
Docket No. CGD07–07–102. We received
no letters in the mail commenting on
the proposed rule. No public meeting
was requested, and none was held.
Marine events are frequently held on
the navigable waters within the
boundary of the Seventh Coast Guard
District. These include events such as
sailing regattas, holiday parades, and
fireworks displays. Currently, there are
over 250 annually recurring marine
events and many other non-recurring
events within the district. In the past,
the Coast Guard regulated these events
by creating individual special local
regulations on a case by case basis. Most
of these events required only the
establishment of a regulated area and
assignment of a patrol commander to
ensure safety. Issuing individual, annual
special local regulations has created a
significant administrative burden on the
Coast Guard. In 2005, the Coast Guard
created over 60 temporary regulations
for recurring marine events in the
Seventh District. That number rose to
over 110 in 2006 and over 160 in 2007.
Additionally, for the majority of these
events, the Coast Guard does not receive
notification of the event or important
details of the event are not finalized by
event organizers with sufficient time to
publish a notice of proposed rulemaking
and final rule before the event date. The
Coast Guard must therefore create
temporary final rules that sometimes are
not completed until a few days before
the event. This results in delayed
notification to the public, potentially
placing the public and event
participants at risk.
This rule will significantly relieve the
administrative burden on the Coast
Guard, and at the same time allow the
sponsor of the event and the Coast
Guard to notify the public of these
events in a timely manner. The public
will be provided with notice of events
through the table attached to this
regulation. This table lists each
recurring event that may be regulated by
PO 00000
Frm 00011
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
4459
the Coast Guard, and indicates the
sponsor, as well as the date and location
of the event. Because the dates and
location of these events may change
slightly from year to year, the specific
information on each event, including
the exact dates, specific areas, and
description of the regulated area, will be
provided to the public through a Local
Notice to Mariners published before the
event, as well as through Broadcast
Notice to Mariners. This table will be
updated by the Coast Guard periodically
to add new recurring events, remove
events that no longer occur, and update
listed events to ensure accurate
information is provided.
Discussion Comments and Change
No comments were received.
However, slight changes were made to
proposed events to clarify dates and
sponsors. In the Captain of the Port
Zone Key West the date for Marathon
Super Boat Grand Prix was updated to
the 3rd Weekend of May (FRI–SUN).
The date for the FKCC Swim around
Key West was updated to the 3rd
Saturday in June. These changes were
made to add information to the events
for increased public knowledge.
Regulatory Evaluation
This 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.
We expect the economic impact of
this rule to be so minimal that a full
Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have considered
whether this 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 rule would not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities.
This rule would affect the following
entities, some of which might be small
entities: the owners or operators of
vessels intending to transit or anchor in
the areas where marine events are being
held. This proposed regulation will not
E:\FR\FM\25JAR1.SGM
25JAR1
4460
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 17 / Friday, January 25, 2008 / Rules and Regulations
have a significant impact on a
substantial number of small entities
because it will only be enforced on
marine events that have been permitted
by the Coast Guard Captain of the Port.
The Captain of the Port will ensure that
small entities are able to operate in the
areas where events are occurring.
Additionally, in most cases, vessels will
be able to safely transit around the
regulated area at all times, and, with the
permission of the Patrol Commander,
vessels may transit through the
regulated area.
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 offered to assist small entities in
understanding this 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 the person
listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT. 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 rule calls for no new collection
of information under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–
3520).
pwalker on PROD1PC69 with RULES
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 rule under that Order and have
determined that it does not have
implications for federalism.
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
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:51 Jan 24, 2008
Jkt 214001
aggregate, or by the private sector of
$100,000,000 or more in any one year.
Though this rule does not result in such
an expenditure, we do discuss the
effects of this rule elsewhere in this
preamble.
Taking of Private Property
This rule will not effect 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 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 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 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 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
PO 00000
Frm 00012
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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 rule does not use technical
standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus
standards.
Environment
We have analyzed this 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. This rule
fits the category of paragraph 34(h)
because it creates special local
regulations for regattas and marine
parades.
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.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is
establishing a temporary anchorage area,
designated Anchorage 8A, adjacent to
existing Anchorage 8 that can be
activated by Coast Guard Vessel Traffic
Services (VTS) when the number of
vessels requesting to anchor in
Anchorages 8 and 9 exceeds the
capacity of these two anchorages.
Anchorage 8A may also be utilized
during any emergency situation. This
rule defines its use and location, and
establishes procedures for activating the
anchorage area and notifying the
maritime public.
DATES: This rule is effective February
25, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Comments and material
received from the public, as well as
documents indicated in this preamble as
being available in the docket, are part of
docket CGD11–04–002 and are available
for inspection or copying at Waterways
Safety Branch, Sector San Francisco, 1

‘‘Anchorage Regulation; San Francisco
Bay, CA’’ in the Federal Register on
April 1, 2004 (69 FR 17119), under
docket number CGD11–04–002. Based
on the three comments received, we
reduced the size of the originally
proposed Anchorage 8A, and the Coast
Guard decided to resubmit the proposal
to the public for further consideration.
We published a supplemental notice
of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM)
entitled ‘‘Anchorage Regulation; San
Francisco Bay, CA’’ in the Federal
Register on October 11, 2007 (72 FR
57901). We received no comments in
response to the SNPRM. No public
meeting was requested at any time in
the rulemaking process, and none was
held.
Background and Purpose
Anchorage 8A is necessary due to the
trend toward larger ships arriving in San
Francisco Bay, the growth of faster
Marine Transportation Systems,
increased large vessel traffic, and
increased use of Anchorages 8 and 9 in
San Francisco Bay. In addition to more
vessels needing to anchor while
awaiting the departure of other vessels
at berth, periodic labor strikes and
disputes have caused delays in the
turnaround time of cargo, and filled
Anchorages 8 and 9 to capacity.
Discussion of Comments and Changes
The Coast Guard received the
following comments in response to the
NPRM. The San Francisco Bay
Conservation and Development
Commission (BCDC) requested that a
consistency determination be submitted
evaluating the proposal in relation to
BCDC Coastal Zone Management
Policies. A 15 CFR 930.35 Negative
Determination was submitted to BCDC
on September 18, 2006. In a letter dated
October 17, 2006, BCDC suggested that
the Coast Guard consult with the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and
the National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) regarding threatened or
endangered species. A biological

Special Local Regulations; Recurring Marine Events in the Seventh
Coast Guard District
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is creating special local regulations to
regulate recurring marine events in the Seventh Coast Guard District.
These regulations will apply to all permitted events listed on the
table attached to the regulation, and include events such as regattas,
parades, and fireworks displays. These regulations are being created to
reduce the Coast Guard's administrative workload and expedite public
notification of events.
DATES: This rule is effective 30 days after publication in the Federal
Register.
ADDRESSES: Comments and material received from the public, as well as
documents indicated in this preamble as being available in the docket,
are part of docket [USCG-2007-0179] and are available for inspection or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
On November 13, 2007, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled Special Local Regulations; Recurring Marine Events in
the Seventh Coast Guard District Federal Register (72 FR 63839) under
Docket No. CGD07-07-102. We received no letters in the mail commenting
on the proposed rule. No public meeting was requested, and none was
held.
Background and Purpose
Marine events are frequently held on the navigable waters within
the boundary of the Seventh Coast Guard District. These include events
such as sailing regattas, holiday parades, and fireworks displays.
Currently, there are over 250 annually recurring marine events and many
other non-recurring events within the district. In the past, the Coast
Guard regulated these events by creating individual special local
regulations on a case by case basis. Most of these events required only
the establishment of a regulated area and assignment of a patrol
commander to ensure safety. Issuing individual, annual special local
regulations has created a significant administrative burden on the
Coast Guard. In 2005, the Coast Guard created over 60 temporary
regulations for recurring marine events in the Seventh District. That
number rose to over 110 in 2006 and over 160 in 2007.
Additionally, for the majority of these events, the Coast Guard
does not receive notification of the event or important details of the
event are not finalized by event organizers with sufficient time to
publish a notice of proposed rulemaking and final rule before the event
date. The Coast Guard must therefore create temporary final rules that
sometimes are not completed until a few days before the event. This
results in delayed notification to the public, potentially placing the
public and event participants at risk.
This rule will significantly relieve the administrative burden on
the Coast Guard, and at the same time allow the sponsor of the event
and the Coast Guard to notify the public of these events in a timely
manner. The public will be provided with notice of events through the
table attached to this regulation. This table lists each recurring
event that may be regulated by the Coast Guard, and indicates the
sponsor, as well as the date and location of the event. Because the
dates and location of these events may change slightly from year to
year, the specific information on each event, including the exact
dates, specific areas, and description of the regulated area, will be
provided to the public through a Local Notice to Mariners published
before the event, as well as through Broadcast Notice to Mariners. This
table will be updated by the Coast Guard periodically to add new
recurring events, remove events that no longer occur, and update listed
events to ensure accurate information is provided.
Discussion Comments and Change
No comments were received. However, slight changes were made to
proposed events to clarify dates and sponsors. In the Captain of the
Port Zone Key West the date for Marathon Super Boat Grand Prix was
updated to the 3rd Weekend of May (FRI-SUN). The date for the FKCC Swim
around Key West was updated to the 3rd Saturday in June. These changes
were made to add information to the events for increased public
knowledge.
Regulatory Evaluation
This 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.
We expect the economic impact of this rule to be so minimal that a
full Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this 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 rule
would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities. This rule would affect the following entities, some of
which might be small entities: the owners or operators of vessels
intending to transit or anchor in the areas where marine events are
being held. This proposed regulation will not
[[Page 4460]]
have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities
because it will only be enforced on marine events that have been
permitted by the Coast Guard Captain of the Port. The Captain of the
Port will ensure that small entities are able to operate in the areas
where events are occurring. Additionally, in most cases, vessels will
be able to safely transit around the regulated area at all times, and,
with the permission of the Patrol Commander, vessels may transit
through the regulated area.
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 offered to assist small
entities in understanding this 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 the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 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 rule calls 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 rule under
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for
federalism.
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 or more in any
one year. Though this rule does not result in such an expenditure, we
do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble.
Taking of Private Property
This rule will not effect 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 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 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 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 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 rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.
Environment
We have analyzed this 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. This rule fits
the category of paragraph 34(h) because it creates special local
regulations for regattas and marine parades.
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.
