SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DATES:
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 any
delay encountered in this regulation’s
effective date by publishing a NPRM
would be contrary to public interest
since immediate action is needed to
provide for the safety of life and
property on navigable waters from the
hazardous nature of fireworks including
unexpected detonation and burning
debris. We spoke with each event
sponsor and each indicated they were
unable and unwilling to move their
event date to a later time for the
following reasons. Sponsors for Sag

reschedule these events because they
are held in conjunction with the Fourth
of July holiday and various holiday
festivities. Many community members
have made holiday plans based on these
fireworks events, changing the date
would cause numerous cancelations and
hurt small businesses. Rescheduling
would not be a viable option because
most event venues, entertainers and
venders have fully booked summer
schedules making rescheduling nearly
impossible. These fireworks displays are
all reoccurring marine events with a
proposed permanent rule currently in a
public comment period under docket
number USCG–2008–0384 titled,
Special Local Regulations; Safety and
Security Zones; Recurring Events in
Captain of the Port Long Island Sound
Zone. Additionally, the Coast Guard has
ordered safety zones or special local
regulations for all of these areas for past
events and has not received public
comments or concerns regarding the
impact to waterway traffic from those
events.
The sponsor of the Claim Shell
Foundation Fireworks stated they are
unwilling to reschedule their event due
to other activities being held in
conjunction with their fireworks
display, including a large community
fund raising festival and many festivals
put on by local small businesses. Many
community members have made plans
based on these events and changing the
date would cause numerous
cancelations and hurt small businesses.
This event is a reoccurring marine

and has not received public comments

The sponsor for the Chezzam

aware of the requirements for
submitting a marine event application
135 days in advance resulting in a late
notification to the Coast Guard. The
sponsor is now aware of this for future
events. It is not viable for the sponsor
to reschedule the event due to other

many out of town guests.
For the same reasons, 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.
Delaying the effective date by first
publishing a NPRM 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 hazardous nature of
fireworks including unexpected
detonation and burning debris.
WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with RULES
Basis and Purpose
The legal basis for the temporary rule
is 33 U.S.C. 1226, 1231; 46 U.S.C.
Chapter 701, 3306, 3703; Public Law
107–295, 116 Stat. 2064; and
Department of Homeland Security
Delegation No. 0170.1, which
collectively authorize the Coast Guard
to define safety zones.
Marine events are frequently held on
the navigable waters within the COTP
Long Island Sound Zone. Based on
accidents that have occurred in other
Captain of the Port zones, and the
explosive hazards of fireworks, the
COTP Long Island has determined that
fireworks launches proximate to
watercrafts pose significant risk to
public safety and property. The
combination of increased numbers of
recreation vessels, congested waterways,
darkness punctuated by bright flashes of
light, and debris falling into the water
has the potential to result in serious
injuries or fatalities. In order to protect
the safety of all waterway users
including event participants and
spectators, this temporary rule
establishes temporary 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 regulated areas during the
periods of enforcement unless
authorized by the COTP, or designated
on-scene patrol personnel.
Discussion of Rule
This temporary rule creates safety
zones for all navigable waters within a
1000 foot zone around each firework
displays. These events are listed below
in the text of the regulation.
Because large numbers of spectator
vessels are expected to congregate
around the location of these events, the
regulated areas are needed to protect
both spectators and participants from
the safety hazards created by fireworks
displays including unexpected
detonation and burning debris. During
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:05 Jun 14, 2011
Jkt 223001
the enforcement period of the regulated
areas, persons and vessels are
prohibited from entering, transiting
through, remaining, anchoring or
mooring within the zone unless
specifically authorized by the COTP or
his designated representatives. The
Coast Guard may be assisted by other
Federal, state and local agencies in the
enforcement of these regulated areas.
The Coast Guard determined that
these regulated areas will not have a
significant impact on vessel traffic due
to their temporary nature and limited
size and the fact that vessels are allowed
to transit the navigable waters outside of
the regulated areas. Additionally, The
Coast Guard has ordered safety zones or
special local regulations for all of these
17 areas for past events and has not
received public comments or concerns
regarding the impact to waterway traffic
from events.
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.
Executive Order 12866 and Executive
Order 13563
This rule is not a significant
regulatory action under section 3(f) of
Executive Order 12866, Regulatory
Planning and Review, as supplemented
by Executive Order 13563, 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 regulated
areas 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 regulated areas 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.
PO 00000
Frm 00012
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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 regulated area during the
enforcement periods stated for each
event in the List of Subjects.
The temporary safety zones will not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities
for the following reasons: The regulated
areas 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 regulated areas.
Additionally, before the effective
period, the Coast Guard will issue
notice of the time and location of each
regulated area 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 (Public Law 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).

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 115 / Wednesday, June 15, 2011 / Rules and Regulations
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 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 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.
WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with RULES
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,
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
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:05 Jun 14, 2011
Jkt 223001
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.
Environment
We have analyzed this 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 which 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. This rule
involves the establishment of temporary
safety zones. An environmental analysis
checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are available in the
docket where indicated under

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

This rule does not use technical

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Temporary final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

marine events within the Captain of the Port (COTP) Long Island Sound
Zone for firework displays. This action is necessary to provide for the
safety of life on navigable waters during the events. Entry into,
transit through, mooring or anchoring within these zones is prohibited
unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Sector Long Island Sound.
DATES: This rule is effective in the CFR on June 15, 2011 through 10:30

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 any delay encountered in this
regulation's effective date by publishing a NPRM would be contrary to
public interest since immediate action is needed to provide for the
safety of life and property on navigable waters from the hazardous
nature of fireworks including unexpected detonation and burning debris.
We spoke with each event sponsor and each indicated they were unable
and unwilling to move their event date to a later time for the
following reasons. Sponsors for Sag Harbor, Mason's Island Yacht Club,
Lawrence Beach Club, Cancer Center for Kids, Barnum Festival, Devon
Yacht Club, Independence Day Celebration, Go 4th on the Bay, Dolan
Family Fourth, City of Long Beach, Shelter Island, Point O'Woods Fire
Company, South Bay Go 4th on the Bay Davis Park, North Bay Go 4th on
the Bay, and Montauk Yacht Club Independence Day fireworks displays
stated they are unwilling to reschedule these events because they are
held in conjunction with the Fourth of July holiday and various holiday
festivities. Many community members have made holiday plans based on
these fireworks events, changing the date would cause numerous
cancelations and hurt small businesses. Rescheduling would not be a
viable option because most event venues, entertainers and venders have
fully booked summer schedules making rescheduling nearly impossible.
These fireworks displays are all reoccurring marine events with a
proposed permanent rule currently in a public comment period under
docket number USCG-2008-0384 titled, Special Local Regulations; Safety
and Security Zones; Recurring Events in Captain of the Port Long Island
Sound Zone. Additionally, the Coast Guard has ordered safety zones or
special local regulations for all of these areas for past events and
has not received public comments or concerns regarding the impact to
waterway traffic from those events.
The sponsor of the Claim Shell Foundation Fireworks stated they are
unwilling to reschedule their event due to other activities being held
in conjunction with their fireworks display, including a large
community fund raising festival and many festivals put on by local
small businesses. Many community members have made plans based on these
events and changing the date would cause numerous cancelations and hurt
small businesses. This event is a reoccurring marine events with a
proposed permanent rule currently in a public comment period under
docket number USCG-2008-0384 titled, Special Local Regulations; Safety
and Security Zones; Recurring Events in Captain of the Port Long Island
Sound Zone. Additionally, the Coast Guard has ordered safety zones or
special local regulations for this area for past events and has not
received public comments or concerns regarding the impact to waterway
traffic from events.
The sponsor for the Chezzam Entertainment Group Fireworks was not
aware of the requirements for submitting a marine event application 135
days in advance resulting in a late notification to the Coast Guard.
The sponsor is now aware of this for future events. It is not viable
for the sponsor to reschedule the event due to other activities being
held in conjunction with their fireworks display, including a
[[Page 34856]]
birthday party celebration involving many out of town guests.
For the same reasons, 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. Delaying the
effective date by first publishing a NPRM 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 hazardous nature of fireworks including
unexpected detonation and burning debris.
Basis and Purpose
The legal basis for the temporary rule is 33 U.S.C. 1226, 1231; 46
U.S.C. Chapter 701, 3306, 3703; Public Law 107-295, 116 Stat. 2064; and
Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1, which
collectively authorize the Coast Guard to define safety zones.
Marine events are frequently held on the navigable waters within
the COTP Long Island Sound Zone. Based on accidents that have occurred
in other Captain of the Port zones, and the explosive hazards of
fireworks, the COTP Long Island has determined that fireworks launches
proximate to watercrafts pose significant risk to public safety and
property. The combination of increased numbers of recreation vessels,
congested waterways, darkness punctuated by bright flashes of light,
and debris falling into the water has the potential to result in
serious injuries or fatalities. In order to protect the safety of all
waterway users including event participants and spectators, this
temporary rule establishes temporary 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 regulated areas
during the periods of enforcement unless authorized by the COTP, or
designated on-scene patrol personnel.
Discussion of Rule
This temporary rule creates safety zones for all navigable waters
within a 1000 foot zone around each firework displays. These events are
listed below in the text of the regulation.
Because large numbers of spectator vessels are expected to
congregate around the location of these events, the regulated areas are
needed to protect both spectators and participants from the safety
hazards created by fireworks displays including unexpected detonation
and burning debris. During the enforcement period of the regulated
areas, persons and vessels are prohibited from entering, transiting
through, remaining, anchoring or mooring within the zone unless
specifically authorized by the COTP or his designated representatives.
The Coast Guard may be assisted by other Federal, state and local
agencies in the enforcement of these regulated areas.
The Coast Guard determined that these regulated areas will not have
a significant impact on vessel traffic due to their temporary nature
and limited size and the fact that vessels are allowed to transit the
navigable waters outside of the regulated areas. Additionally, The
Coast Guard has ordered safety zones or special local regulations for
all of these 17 areas for past events and has not received public
comments or concerns regarding the impact to waterway traffic from
events.
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.
Executive Order 12866 and Executive Order 13563
This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, 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 regulated areas 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
regulated areas 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 regulated area during the
enforcement periods stated for each event in the List of Subjects.
The temporary safety zones will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities for the following
reasons: The regulated areas 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 regulated
areas. Additionally, before the effective period, the Coast Guard will
issue notice of the time and location of each regulated area 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 (Public Law 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).
[[Page 34857]]
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 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 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 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,
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 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 which 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. This rule involves the establishment of
temporary safety zones. An environmental analysis checklist and a
categorical exclusion determination are available in the docket where
indicated under ADDRESSES.
