Supplemental notice of
proposed rulemaking.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard proposes to
clarify the verbiage in the list of marine
events occurring annually within the
Eleventh Coast Guard District. This
supplemental notice of proposed
rulemaking changes the proposed
regulation by changing the dates of two
of the proposed special local regulations
and adds clarifying language to the
proposed regulation within San Diego
Captain of the Port zone. When these
special local regulations are activated,
and thus subject to enforcement, this
rule would enable vessel movement
restrictions in the regulated area.
DATES: Comments and related material
must be received by the Coast Guard on
or before June 27, 2011. Requests for
public meetings must be received by the
Coast Guard on or before June 15, 2011.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
identified by docket number USCG–
2009–0558 using any one of the
following methods:

Background and Purpose
Marine events are annually held on a
recurring basis on the navigable waters
within the Eleventh Coast Guard
District. These events include sailing
regattas, powerboat races, rowboat races,
parades, and swim events. Many of the
annual events requiring special local
regulations do not currently reflect
changes in actual dates and other
required information.
The effect of these proposed special
local regulations will be to restrict
general navigation in the vicinity of the
events, from the start of each event until
the conclusion of that event. These areas
will be patrolled at the discretion of the
Coast Guard. Except for persons or
vessels authorized by the Coast Guard
Patrol Commander, no person or vessel
may enter or remain in the regulated
area. These regulations are needed to
keep spectators and vessels a safe
distance away from the specified events
to ensure the safety of participants,
spectators, and transiting vessels.
Discussion of Proposed Rule
The Coast Guard published a Notice
of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on
February 9, 2011 entitled Eleventh Coast
Guard District Annual Marine Events in
the Federal Register (76 FR 7123). We
did not receive any comments on the
proposed rule and did not receive any
requests for a public meeting. A public
meeting was not held. The NPRM
published for this regulation proposed
to revise 33 CFR 100.1101, 100.1102,
and 100.1103 by standardizing the
special local regulations language,
update listed events, delete events that
are no longer occurring, add new
unlisted annual events to the regulation,
and standardize the format for all tables
in the sections, and to add a new 33
CFR 100.1104.
This rule proposes to revise the text
of 33 CFR 100.1101(b)(3) and
100.1102(b)(3) to delete reference to the
Patrol Commander (PATCOM) being
located on the lead official patrol vessel.
Often the PATCOM is located shoreside
in a location that offers a better vantage
point to monitor the event. The location
of the PATCOM may also be dictated by
radio communication requirements, or a
PO 00000
Frm 00022
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
need to be co-located with local law
enforcement representatives.
Additionally, the Coast Guard
proposes to delete the limiting
descriptor ‘‘commercial’’ in 33 CFR
100.1101(b)(4) and 100.1102(b)(4), as
applied to vessels being allowed to
transit through the regulated areas when
permitted by PATCOM. Often the
PATCOM will allow all queued vessels
to transit through a zone; for example
during a long break in a race.
Commercial vessels are normally given
preference, but we do sometimes allow
recreational vessels to move.
The Coast Guard proposes to change
the dates for events listed as occurring
in ‘‘late December’’ to ‘‘December.’’ 33
CFR 100.1101, Table 1, item 5, the San
Diego Parade of Lights, and item 6, the
Mission Bay Parade of Lights are listed
as occurring in late December. For
administrative efficiency and to avoid
potential problems, the Coast Guard
proposed to delete ‘‘late’’ to allow for
required flexibility in activating the
special local regulations.
Finally, the proposed title of 33 CFR
100.1102 will be revised to clearly
indicate the special local regulations are
located in the San Diego Captain of the
Port Zone.
Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed 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 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. We expect the economic impact
of this proposed rule to be so minimal
that a full Regulatory Evaluation is
unnecessary. This rule is not a
significant regulatory action because the
regulations exist for a limited period of
time on a limited portion of the
waterways. Further, individuals and
vessels desiring to use the affected
portion of the waterways may seek
permission from the Patrol Commander
to use the affected areas.
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.
E:\FR\FM\26MYP1.SGM
26MYP1
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 102 / Thursday, May 26, 2011 / Proposed Rules
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.
We expect this proposed rule will
affect the following entities, some of
which may be small entities: The
owners and operators of vessels
intending to fish, transit, or anchor in
the waters affected by these special local
regulations. These special local
regulations will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities for the
following reasons: Small vessel traffic
will be able to pass safely around the
area and vessels engaged in event
activities, sightseeing and commercial
fishing have ample space outside of the
area governed by the special local
regulations to engage in these activities.
Small entities and the maritime public
will be advised of implementation of
these special local regulations via public
notice to mariners or notice of
implementation published in the
Federal Register.
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 Lieutenant
Lucas Mancini, Eleventh Coast Guard
District Prevention Division, Waterways
Management Branch, Coast Guard;
telephone 510–437–3801, e-mail
Lucas.W.Mancini@uscg.mil. 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.

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.
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.
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.
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 rule elsewhere in this
preamble.
Taking of Private Property
This proposed rule would 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 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

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
not consider the use of voluntary
consensus standards.
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
(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and
have made a preliminary determination,
under paragraph 34(h) of the
Instruction, that this action is one of a
category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human
environment. A preliminary
environmental analysis checklist
supporting this determination is
available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES. We seek any

Words of Issuance and Proposed
Regulatory Text
For the reasons discussed in the
preamble, the Coast Guard proposes to
amend 33 CFR part 100 as follows:
PART 100—MARINE EVENTS
1. The authority citation for part 100
continues to read as follows:
Authority: 33 U.S.C. 1233.
2. Revise 33 CFR 100.1101 to read as
follows:
§ 100.1101 Southern California Annual
Marine Events for the San Diego Captain of
the Port Zone.
(a) General. Special local regulations
are established for the events listed in
Table 1 of this section. Notice of
implementation of these special local
regulations will be made by publication
in the Federal Register 30 days prior to
the event for those events without
specific dates. In all cases, further
information on exact dates, times, and
other details concerning the number and
type of participants and an exact
geographical description of the areas are
published by the Eleventh Coast Guard
District in the Local Notice to Mariners
at least 20 days prior to each event.
Note: Sponsors of events listed in Table
1 of this section must submit an
application each year as required by 33
CFR Part 100 to the cognizant Coast
Guard Sector Commander no less than
60 days before the start of the proposed
event. Sponsors are informed that ample
lead time is required to inform all
Federal, state, local agencies, and/or
other interested parties and to provide
the sponsor the best support to ensure
the safety of life and property.
(b) Special local regulations. All
persons and vessels not registered with
the sponsor as participants or as official
patrol vessels are considered spectators.
The ‘‘official patrol’’ consists of any
Coast Guard or other vessels assigned or
approved by the cognizant Coast Guard
Sector Commander to patrol each event.
(1) No spectator shall anchor, block,
loiter, nor impede the through transit of
participants or official patrol vessels in
the regulated areas during all applicable
effective dates and times unless cleared
to do so by or through an official patrol
vessel.
(2) When hailed and/or signaled by an
official patrol vessel, any spectator
located within a regulated area during
all applicable effective dates and times
shall come to an immediate stop.
(3) The Patrol Commander (PATCOM)
is empowered to forbid and control the
movement of all vessels in the regulated
area. The Patrol Commander shall be
designated by the cognizant Coast Guard
Sector Commander; will be a U.S. Coast
Guard commissioned officer, warrant
officer, or petty officer to act as the
Sector Commander’s official
representative. As the Sector
Commander’s representative, the
PATCOM may terminate the event any
time it is deemed necessary for the
protection of life and property.
PATCOM may be reached on VHF–FM
Channel 13 (156.65 MHz) or 16 (156.8
MHz) when required, by the call sign
‘‘PATCOM’’.
(4) The Patrol Commander may, upon
request, allow the transit of vessels
through regulated areas when it is safe
to do so.
(5) The Coast Guard may be assisted
by other Federal, state, or local agencies.

RIN 1625-AA08
Eleventh Coast Guard District Annual Marine Events
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to clarify the verbiage in the list
of marine events occurring annually within the Eleventh Coast Guard
District. This supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking changes the
proposed regulation by changing the dates of two of the proposed
special local regulations and adds clarifying language to the proposed
regulation within San Diego Captain of the Port zone. When these
special local regulations are activated, and thus subject to
enforcement, this rule would enable vessel movement restrictions in the
regulated area.

Background and Purpose
Marine events are annually held on a recurring basis on the
navigable waters within the Eleventh Coast Guard District. These events
include sailing regattas, powerboat races, rowboat races, parades, and
swim events. Many of the annual events requiring special local
regulations do not currently reflect changes in actual dates and other
required information.
The effect of these proposed special local regulations will be to
restrict general navigation in the vicinity of the events, from the
start of each event until the conclusion of that event. These areas
will be patrolled at the discretion of the Coast Guard. Except for
persons or vessels authorized by the Coast Guard Patrol Commander, no
person or vessel may enter or remain in the regulated area. These
regulations are needed to keep spectators and vessels a safe distance
away from the specified events to ensure the safety of participants,
spectators, and transiting vessels.
Discussion of Proposed Rule
The Coast Guard published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on
February 9, 2011 entitled Eleventh Coast Guard District Annual Marine
Events in the Federal Register (76 FR 7123). We did not receive any
comments on the proposed rule and did not receive any requests for a
public meeting. A public meeting was not held. The NPRM published for
this regulation proposed to revise 33 CFR 100.1101, 100.1102, and
100.1103 by standardizing the special local regulations language,
update listed events, delete events that are no longer occurring, add
new unlisted annual events to the regulation, and standardize the
format for all tables in the sections, and to add a new 33 CFR
100.1104.
This rule proposes to revise the text of 33 CFR 100.1101(b)(3) and
100.1102(b)(3) to delete reference to the Patrol Commander (PATCOM)
being located on the lead official patrol vessel. Often the PATCOM is
located shoreside in a location that offers a better vantage point to
monitor the event. The location of the PATCOM may also be dictated by
radio communication requirements, or a need to be co-located with local
law enforcement representatives.
Additionally, the Coast Guard proposes to delete the limiting
descriptor ``commercial'' in 33 CFR 100.1101(b)(4) and 100.1102(b)(4),
as applied to vessels being allowed to transit through the regulated
areas when permitted by PATCOM. Often the PATCOM will allow all queued
vessels to transit through a zone; for example during a long break in a
race. Commercial vessels are normally given preference, but we do
sometimes allow recreational vessels to move.
The Coast Guard proposes to change the dates for events listed as
occurring in ``late December'' to ``December.'' 33 CFR 100.1101, Table
1, item 5, the San Diego Parade of Lights, and item 6, the Mission Bay
Parade of Lights are listed as occurring in late December. For
administrative efficiency and to avoid potential problems, the Coast
Guard proposed to delete ``late'' to allow for required flexibility in
activating the special local regulations.
Finally, the proposed title of 33 CFR 100.1102 will be revised to
clearly indicate the special local regulations are located in the San
Diego Captain of the Port Zone.
Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed 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 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. We expect the economic
impact of this proposed rule to be so minimal that a full Regulatory
Evaluation is unnecessary. This rule is not a significant regulatory
action because the regulations exist for a limited period of time on a
limited portion of the waterways. Further, individuals and vessels
desiring to use the affected portion of the waterways may seek
permission from the Patrol Commander to use the affected areas.
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.
[[Page 30577]]
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.
We expect this proposed rule will affect the following entities,
some of which may be small entities: The owners and operators of
vessels intending to fish, transit, or anchor in the waters affected by
these special local regulations. These special local regulations will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities for the following reasons: Small vessel traffic will be able
to pass safely around the area and vessels engaged in event activities,
sightseeing and commercial fishing have ample space outside of the area
governed by the special local regulations to engage in these
activities. Small entities and the maritime public will be advised of
implementation of these special local regulations via public notice to
mariners or notice of implementation published in the Federal Register.
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 Lieutenant Lucas Mancini,
Eleventh Coast Guard District Prevention Division, Waterways Management
Branch, Coast Guard; telephone 510-437-3801, e-mail
Lucas.W.Mancini@uscg.mil. 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.
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.
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 rule
elsewhere in this preamble.
Taking of Private Property
This proposed rule would 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 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 not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.
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 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and
have made a preliminary determination, under paragraph 34(h) of the
Instruction, that this action is one of a category of actions that do
not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. A preliminary environmental analysis checklist supporting
this determination is available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES. We seek any
[[Page 30578]]
comments or information that may lead to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this proposed rule.

the best support to ensure the safety of life and property.
(b) Special local regulations. All persons and vessels not
registered with the sponsor as participants or as official patrol
vessels are considered spectators. The ``official patrol'' consists of
any Coast Guard or other vessels assigned or approved by the cognizant
Coast Guard Sector Commander to patrol each event.
(1) No spectator shall anchor, block, loiter, nor impede the
through transit of participants or official patrol vessels in the
regulated areas during all applicable effective dates and times unless
