SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
The Coast Guard is issuing this
temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment
pursuant to authority under section 4(a)
of the Administrative Procedure Act
(APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision
authorizes an agency to issue a rule
without prior notice and opportunity to
comment when the agency for good
cause finds that those procedures are
‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that
good cause exists for not publishing a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because
publishing a NPRM is impractical as the
Coast Guard did not receive notification
of the specific location or planned dates
for the events in sufficient time to issue
a NPRM without delaying this
rulemaking. Further, it is contrary to
public interest to delay the effective
date of this rule. Delaying the effective
date by first publishing a NPRM and
holding a comment period would be
contrary to the rule’s objectives of
ensuring safety of life on the navigable
waters during these scheduled events as
immediate action is needed to protect
persons and vessels from the hazards
associated with vessels participating in
regattas, races and parades as well as the
hazardous nature of fireworks including
unexpected detonation and burning
debris.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for
making this rule effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal
Register. In addition to the reasons
stated above, this rule is intended to
ensure the safety of the event
participants, spectators and other
waterway users thus any delay in the
rule’s effective date would be
impractical.
Basis and Purpose
Marine events are frequently held on
the navigable waters within the area of
responsibility for Captain of the Port
Sector Northern New England. These
events include sailing regattas, parades,
power boat races, fireworks displays,
PO 00000
Frm 00008
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
and other vessel races. Based on the
nature of the events, large number of
participants and spectators, and the
event locations, the Coast Guard has
determined that the events listed in this
rule could pose a risk to participants or
waterway users if normal vessel traffic
were to interfere with the event.
Possible hazards include risks of
participant injury or death resulting
from near or actual contact with nonparticipant vessels traversing through
the safety zones. In order to protect the
safety of all waterway users including
event participants and spectators, this
temporary rule establishes safety zones
for the time and location of each event.
This rule prevents vessels from
entering, transiting, mooring or
anchoring within areas specifically
designated as safety zones during the
periods of enforcement unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port or
designated on-scene patrol personnel.
On-scene patrol personnel may be
comprised of local, state or federal
officials authorized to act in support of
the Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard has ordered safety
zones or special local regulations for all
of these eight areas for past events and
has not received public comments or
concerns regarding the impact to
waterway traffic from these annual
events.
Discussion of Rule
This temporary rule creates safety
zones for all navigable waters within the
described area of each event as follows:
A safety zone 50 yards in radius from
all participants in the Downeast
Adventure Race on the St. Croix River
in Calais, Maine to be enforced from 10
a.m. to 2 p.m. on May 1, 2010; a safety
zone of 350 yard radius from the
Hampton Beach Fireworks launch site
in the vicinity of Hampton Beach, New
Hampshire to be enforced from 8 p.m.
to 10:30 p.m. every Saturday, Sunday,
and Wednesday from May 5, 2010,
through September 29, 2010; a safety
zone 50 yards in radius around all
participants in the Tall Ships visit to
Portsmouth Regatta and Parade in the
vicinity of Portsmouth Harbor, New
Hampshire, to be enforced from 10 a.m.
through 7 p.m. on May 28, 2010 through
May 31, 2010; a safety zone 50 yards in
radius around all participants in the Bar
Harbor Blessing of the Ships in the
vicinity of Bar Harbor, Maine to be
enforced from 12 p.m. through 1:30 p.m.
on June 6, 2010; a safety zone 50 yards
in radius around all participants in the
Boothbay Harbor Lobster Boat Races in
Boothbay Harbor, Maine to be enforced
from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. on June 19,
2010; a safety zone 50 yards in radius
E:\FR\FM\10MYR1.SGM
10MYR1
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 89 / Monday, May 10, 2010 / Rules and Regulations
around all participants in the Rockland
Harbor Lobster Boat Races in the
vicinity of Rockland Harbor, Maine, to
be enforced from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. on
June 20, 2010; a safety zone 50 yards in
radius around all participants in the
Windjammer Days Parade of Ships in
the vicinity of Boothbay Harbor, Maine,
to be enforced from 12 p.m. until 5 p.m.
on June 22 and 23, 2010; a safety zone
350 yards in radius from the fireworks
launch site in the vicinity of Boothbay
Harbor, Maine, for the Windjammer
Days Fireworks to be enforced from 8
p.m. until 10:30 p.m. on June 23, 2010.
As large numbers of spectator vessels
are expected to congregate around the
location of these events, the safety zones
are needed to protect both spectators
and participants from the safety hazards
created by the event. During the
enforcement period of the safety zones,
persons and vessels will be prohibited
from entering, transiting, remaining
within, anchoring or mooring within the
zone unless specifically authorized by
the Captain of the Port or his designated
representatives. The Coast Guard may
be assisted by other federal, state and
local agencies in the enforcement of
these safety zones.
The Coast Guard determined that
these safety zones will not have a
significant impact on vessel traffic due
to the temporary nature and limited size
of the safety zones and the fact that
vessels are allowed to transit the
navigable waters outside of the safety
zones.
Advanced public notifications will
also be made to the local maritime
community by the Local Notice to
Mariners as well as Broadcast Notice to
Mariners.

Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after
considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking.
Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes or
executive orders.
Regulatory Planning and Review
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.
The Coast Guard determined that this
rule is not a significant regulatory action
for the following reasons: The safety
zones will be of limited duration, they
cover only a small portion of the
navigable waterways, and the events are
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:32 May 07, 2010
Jkt 220001
designed to avoid, to the extent
possible, deep draft, fishing, and
recreational boating traffic routes. In
addition, vessels requiring entry into the
area of the safety zones may be
authorized to do so by the Captain of the
Port.
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 will not have
a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
This rule will affect the following
entities, some of which may be small
entities: The owners or operators of
vessels intending to transit or anchor in
the designated safety zones during the
enforcement periods stated for each
event in the List of Subjects.
The safety zones will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for
the following reasons: The safety zones
will be of limited size and of short
duration, and vessels that can safely do
so may navigate in all other portions of
the waterways except for the areas
designated as safety zones.
Additionally, before the effective
period, the Coast Guard will issue
notice of the time and location of each
safety zone through a Local Notice to
Mariners and Broadcast Notice to
Mariners.
Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121),
we offer to assist small entities in
understanding the rule so that they can
better evaluate its effects on them and
participate in the rulemaking process.
Small businesses may send comments
on the actions of Federal employees
who enforce, or otherwise determine
compliance with, Federal regulations to
the Small Business and Agriculture
Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman
and the Regional Small Business
Regulatory Fairness Boards. The
Ombudsman evaluates these actions
annually and rates each agency’s
responsiveness to small business. If you
wish to comment on actions by
employees of the Coast Guard, call 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 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 (adjusted for inflation) or
more in any one year. Though this rule
will 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 cause 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
does not create an environmental risk to
health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.
Indian Tribal Governments
This rule does not have tribal
implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments,
E:\FR\FM\10MYR1.SGM
10MYR1
25768
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 89 / Monday, May 10, 2010 / Rules and Regulations
because it does 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.

(2) These temporary safety zones are
closed to all vessel traffic, except as may
be permitted by the Captain of the Port
or his designated representatives. Vessel
operators given permission to enter or
operate in the safety zones must comply
with all directions given to them by the
Captain of the Port or his designated
representatives. Vessels that are granted
permission by the Captain of the Port or
designated representative to enter or
remain within a safety zone may be
required to be at anchor or moored to a
waterfront facility such that the vessel’s
location will not interfere with the
progress of the event. At all times when
a vessel has been granted permission to
enter within a safety zone, it shall
endeavor to maintain at least 50 yards
distance from any event participant
unless otherwise directed.
(3) The ‘‘designated representative’’ is
any Coast Guard commissioned,
warrant, or petty officer who has been
designated by the Captain of the Port to
act on his behalf. The designated
representative will be aboard either a

representative via VHF Channel 16 to
obtain permission to do so.
(5) The Captain of the Port or his
designated representative may delay or
terminate any event listed in the events
table in paragraph (a)(2) of this section
to ensure safety. Such action may be
required as a result of weather, vessel
traffic density, spectator activities or
participant behavior.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section
4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because publishing a NPRM is impractical as
the Coast Guard did not receive notification of the specific location
or planned dates for the events in sufficient time to issue a NPRM
without delaying this rulemaking. Further, it is contrary to public
interest to delay the effective date of this rule. Delaying the
effective date by first publishing a NPRM and holding a comment period
would be contrary to the rule's objectives of ensuring safety of life
on the navigable waters during these scheduled events as immediate
action is needed to protect persons and vessels from the hazards
associated with vessels participating in regattas, races and parades as
well as the hazardous nature of fireworks including unexpected
detonation and burning debris.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. In addition to the reasons stated
above, this rule is intended to ensure the safety of the event
participants, spectators and other waterway users thus any delay in the
rule's effective date would be impractical.
Basis and Purpose
Marine events are frequently held on the navigable waters within
the area of responsibility for Captain of the Port Sector Northern New
England. These events include sailing regattas, parades, power boat
races, fireworks displays, and other vessel races. Based on the nature
of the events, large number of participants and spectators, and the
event locations, the Coast Guard has determined that the events listed
in this rule could pose a risk to participants or waterway users if
normal vessel traffic were to interfere with the event. Possible
hazards include risks of participant injury or death resulting from
near or actual contact with non-participant vessels traversing through
the safety zones. In order to protect the safety of all waterway users
including event participants and spectators, this temporary rule
establishes safety zones for the time and location of each event.
This rule prevents vessels from entering, transiting, mooring or
anchoring within areas specifically designated as safety zones during
the periods of enforcement unless authorized by the Captain of the Port
or designated on-scene patrol personnel. On-scene patrol personnel may
be comprised of local, state or federal officials authorized to act in
support of the Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard has ordered safety zones or special local
regulations for all of these eight areas for past events and has not
received public comments or concerns regarding the impact to waterway
traffic from these annual events.
Discussion of Rule
This temporary rule creates safety zones for all navigable waters
within the described area of each event as follows: A safety zone 50
yards in radius from all participants in the Downeast Adventure Race on
the St. Croix River in Calais, Maine to be enforced from 10 a.m. to 2
p.m. on May 1, 2010; a safety zone of 350 yard radius from the Hampton
Beach Fireworks launch site in the vicinity of Hampton Beach, New
Hampshire to be enforced from 8 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. every Saturday,
Sunday, and Wednesday from May 5, 2010, through September 29, 2010; a
safety zone 50 yards in radius around all participants in the Tall
Ships visit to Portsmouth Regatta and Parade in the vicinity of
Portsmouth Harbor, New Hampshire, to be enforced from 10 a.m. through 7
p.m. on May 28, 2010 through May 31, 2010; a safety zone 50 yards in
radius around all participants in the Bar Harbor Blessing of the Ships
in the vicinity of Bar Harbor, Maine to be enforced from 12 p.m.
through 1:30 p.m. on June 6, 2010; a safety zone 50 yards in radius
around all participants in the Boothbay Harbor Lobster Boat Races in
Boothbay Harbor, Maine to be enforced from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. on June
19, 2010; a safety zone 50 yards in radius
[[Page 25767]]
around all participants in the Rockland Harbor Lobster Boat Races in
the vicinity of Rockland Harbor, Maine, to be enforced from 10 a.m.
until 3 p.m. on June 20, 2010; a safety zone 50 yards in radius around
all participants in the Windjammer Days Parade of Ships in the vicinity
of Boothbay Harbor, Maine, to be enforced from 12 p.m. until 5 p.m. on
June 22 and 23, 2010; a safety zone 350 yards in radius from the
fireworks launch site in the vicinity of Boothbay Harbor, Maine, for
the Windjammer Days Fireworks to be enforced from 8 p.m. until 10:30
p.m. on June 23, 2010. As large numbers of spectator vessels are
expected to congregate around the location of these events, the safety
zones are needed to protect both spectators and participants from the
safety hazards created by the event. During the enforcement period of
the safety zones, persons and vessels will be prohibited from entering,
transiting, remaining within, anchoring or mooring within the zone
unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port or his
designated representatives. The Coast Guard may be assisted by other
federal, state and local agencies in the enforcement of these safety
zones.
The Coast Guard determined that these safety zones will not have a
significant impact on vessel traffic due to the temporary nature and
limited size of the safety zones and the fact that vessels are allowed
to transit the navigable waters outside of the safety zones.
Advanced public notifications will also be made to the local
maritime community by the Local Notice to Mariners as well as Broadcast
Notice to Mariners.
Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.
Regulatory Planning and Review
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.
The Coast Guard determined that this rule is not a significant
regulatory action for the following reasons: The safety zones will be
of limited duration, they cover only a small portion of the navigable
waterways, and the events are designed to avoid, to the extent
possible, deep draft, fishing, and recreational boating traffic routes.
In addition, vessels requiring entry into the area of the safety zones
may be authorized to do so by the Captain of the Port.
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 will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities. This rule will affect the following entities, some of which
may be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to
transit or anchor in the designated safety zones during the enforcement
periods stated for each event in the List of Subjects.
The safety zones will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: The
safety zones will be of limited size and of short duration, and vessels
that can safely do so may navigate in all other portions of the
waterways except for the areas designated as safety zones.
Additionally, before the effective period, the Coast Guard will issue
notice of the time and location of each safety zone through a Local
Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we offer to assist small
entities in understanding the rule so that they can better evaluate its
effects on them and participate in the rulemaking process.
Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 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 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 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will 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 cause 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 does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.
Indian Tribal Governments
This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
[[Page 25768]]
because it does 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 temporary 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 (NEPA)(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have
concluded this action is one of a category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1,
paragraph (34)(g), of the Instruction as this rule involves
establishing safety zones. An environmental analysis checklist and a
categorical exclusion determination will be available in the docket
where indicated under ADDRESSES.

(2) These temporary safety zones are closed to all vessel traffic,
except as may be permitted by the Captain of the Port or his designated
representatives. Vessel operators given permission to enter or operate
in the safety zones must comply with all directions given to them by
the Captain of the Port or his designated representatives. Vessels that
are granted permission by the Captain of the Port or designated
representative to enter or remain within a safety zone may be required
to be at anchor or moored to a waterfront facility such that the
vessel's location will not interfere with the progress of the event. At
all times when a vessel has been granted permission to enter within a
safety zone, it shall endeavor to maintain at least 50 yards distance
from any event participant unless otherwise directed.
(3) The ``designated representative'' is any Coast Guard
commissioned, warrant, or petty officer who has been designated by the

zones shall telephone the Captain of the Port at 207-767-0303, or his
designated representative via VHF Channel 16 to obtain permission to do
so.
(5) The Captain of the Port or his designated representative may
delay or terminate any event listed in the events table in paragraph
(a)(2) of this section to ensure safety. Such action may be required as
a result of weather, vessel traffic density, spectator activities or
participant behavior.
