SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with RULES
Regulatory Information
On June 28, 2011, we published a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
entitled: Special Local Regulations and
Safety Zones; Recurring Events in
Captain of the Port Boston Zone, in the
Federal Register (76 FR 37690). We did
not receive any comments on the
proposed rule. No public meeting was
requested, and none was held.
Basis and Purpose
The legal basis for this rule is 33
U.S.C. 1226, 1231, 1233; 46 U.S.C.
Chapter 454, 701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C.
191, 195; Public Law 107–295, 116 Stat.
2064; and Department of Homeland
Security Delegation No. 0170.1, which
collectively authorize the Coast Guard
to define regulatory safety zones and
SLRs.
Marine events are annually held on a
recurring basis on the navigable waters
within the Coast Guard COTP Boston
Zone. These events include fireworks
displays, swim events, and other marine
events. In the past, the Coast Guard has
established SLRs, regulated navigation
areas, and safety zones for these events
individually to ensure the protection of
the maritime public and event
participants from the hazards associated
with these marine events. Issuing
individual regulations annually has
proved to be administratively
cumbersome.
This rule will significantly relieve
administrative overhead and
consistently apprise the public in a
timely manner through permanent
publication in Title 33 of the Code of
Federal Regulations. The Tables in this
regulation list each recurring marine
event requiring a regulated area as
administered by the Coast Guard.
By establishing a permanent
regulation containing these events, the
Coast Guard will eliminate the need to
establish temporary rules for events that
occur on an annual basis. This limits the
unnecessary burden of continually
establishing temporary rules every year.
This rulemaking amends, removes,
and adds regulations that better meet
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:26 Nov 08, 2011
Jkt 226001
the Coast Guard’s intended purpose of
ensuring safety during these events.
The Coast Guard has also identified a
number of events in 33 CFR part 100
which would be more appropriately
located in 33 CFR part 165. This rule
amends local regulations contained in
33 CFR part 100 to move firework
displays to part 165, a citation that
better meets the Coast Guard’s intended
purpose of ensuring safety during these
events.
The Coast Guard has promulgated
safety zones or SLRs for these areas in
the past, and has not received public
comments or concerns regarding the
impact to waterway traffic from these
annually recurring events.
Background
The Coast Guard is revising section 33
CFR 100.114, and adding sections 33
CFR 100.130, and 33 CFR 165.118. The
changes remove nine outdated regulated
areas and establish 43 new permanent
regulated areas. The rule applies to each
recurring marine event listed in the
attached TABLES in the Coast Guard
COTP Boston Zone. The TABLES
provide the event name, sponsor, and
type, as well as approximate dates and
locations of the events. Notifications
will be made to the local maritime
community through the Local Notice to
Mariners and/or Broadcast Notice to
Mariners well in advance of the events.
If the event does not have a date listed,
then exact dates and times of the
enforcement period will be announced
through a Notice of Enforcement in the
Federal Register.
The particular size of the safety zones
established for each event will be
reevaluated on an annual basis in
accordance with Navigational and
Vessel Inspection Circular (NVIC) 07–
02, Marine Safety at Firework Displays,
the National Fire Protection Association
Standard 1123, Code for Fireworks
Displays (70-foot distance per inch of
diameter of the fireworks mortars), and
other pertinent regulations and
publications.
This regulation prevents persons and
vessels from transiting areas specifically
designated as SLRs or safety zones
during the periods of enforcement to
ensure the protection of the maritime
public and event participants from the
hazards associated with listed marine
events. Only event sponsors, designated
participants, and official patrol vessels
will be allowed to enter safety zones
and SLR areas. Spectators and other
vessels not registered as event
participants may not enter the regulated
areas without the permission of the
COTP or the designated representatives.

Frm 00023
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700

All persons and vessels shall comply
with the instructions of the COTP
Boston or the designated on-scene
representative. Entering into, transiting
through, mooring or anchoring within
the regulated areas is prohibited unless
authorized by the COTP Boston or the
designated on scene representative.
Discussion of Comments and Changes
We did not receive any comments to
the proposed rule.
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: vessels will
only be restricted from safety zones and
SLR areas for a short duration of time
unless otherwise noted; vessels may
transit in portions of the affected
waterway except for those areas covered
by the safety zones; the Coast Guard has
promulgated safety zones or SLRs in
accordance with 33 CFR parts 100 and
165 for all event areas in the past and
has not received notice of any negative
impact caused by any of the safety zones
or SLRs. Reasonable notifications will
also be made by Local Notice to
Mariners (LNM) and Broadcast Notice to
Mariners (BNM) well in advance of the
events.
The effect of this action simply
establishes locations or the approximate
dates on which the existing regulations
would be enforced and consolidates
them within one regulation. No new or
additional restrictions would be
imposed on vessel traffic.
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
E:\FR\FM\09NOR1.SGM
09NOR1
69624
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 217 / Wednesday, November 9, 2011 / Rules and Regulations
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: owners or operators of vessels
intending to transit, fish, or anchor in
the areas where marine events are being
held. For the reasons outlined above,
this rule would not have a significant
impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121),
in the NPRM 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.
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.
jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with RULES
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
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
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 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
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 that 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, paragraphs
(34)(g) and (h), of the Instruction. This
rule involves the establishment of safety
zones and special local regulations in
support of marine events. An
environmental analysis checklist and a
categorical exclusion determination are
available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES.
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.
List of Subjects
Energy Effects
33 CFR Part 100
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.

Recurring Annual Marine Events in Sector
Boston Captain of the Port Zone
This section applies to the marine
events listed in Table 1 of this section.
The regulations in this section will be
enforced for the duration of each event,
on or about the dates indicated in Table
1 of this section. Annual notice of the
exact dates and times of the effective
period of the regulations in this section
with respect to each event, the
geographical description of each
regulated area, and details concerning
the nature of the event and the number
of participants and type(s) of vessels
involved will be provided to the local
maritime community through the Local
Notice to Mariners and/or Broadcast
Notice to Mariners well in advance of
the events. If the event does not have a
date listed, then the exact dates and
times of the enforcement will be
announced through a Notice of
Enforcement in the Federal Register.
Mariners should consult the Federal
Register or their LNM to remain
apprised of minor schedule or event
changes. First Coast Guard District LNM
can be found at: https://www.navcen.
uscg.gov/. The Sector Boston Marine
Events schedule can also be viewed

(a) The Coast Guard may patrol each
event area under the direction of a
designated Coast Guard Patrol
Commander (PATCOM). PATCOM may
be contacted on Channel 16 VHF–FM
(156.8 MHz) by the call sign
‘‘PATCOM.’’ Official patrol vessels may
consist of any Coast Guard, Coast Guard
Auxiliary, state, or local law
enforcement vessels assigned or
approved by the Captain of the Port,
Sector Boston.
(b) Vessels may not transit the
regulated areas without PATCOM
approval. Vessels permitted to transit
must operate at a no wake speed, in a
manner which will not endanger

result in expulsion from the area,
citation for failure to comply, or both.
(e) PATCOM may delay or terminate
any marine event in this subpart at any
time it is deemed necessary to ensure
the safety of life or property. Such
action may be justified as a result of
weather, traffic density, spectator
operation or participant behavior.
(f) For all power boat races listed,
vessels operating within the regulated
area must be at anchor within a
designated spectator area or moored to
a waterfront facility in a way that will
not interfere with the progress of the
event.
(g) For all regattas, boat parades, and
rowing and paddling boat races, vessels
not associated with the event shall
maintain a separation of at least 50
yards from the participants.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Norfolk
and Southern Railroad Corporation,
who owns and operates the Neuse River
Railroad Bridge, mile 34.2, at New Bern,
NC, requested a temporary deviation
from the current operating regulations to
facilitate repairs to the main mechanism
of the bridge.
Under the regular operating schedule,
the swing bridge opens on signal as
required by 33 CFR 117.5. In the closed
position to vessels, the bridge has no
available vertical clearance.
To facilitate repairs, the swing span
will be closed to vessels requiring an
opening from 9 a.m. on November 15,
2011 until and including 6 p.m. on
November 17, 2011. There are no
alternate routes for vessels transiting
this section of the Neuse River.
The majority of the vessels that transit
through this bridge during this time of
year are recreational with intermittent
tug and barge traffic.
The Coast Guard has carefully
coordinated the restrictions with
commercial and recreational waterway
users. The Coast Guard will inform all
users of the waterway through our Local
and Broadcast Notice to Mariners of the
closure periods for the bridge so that
vessels can arrange their transits to
minimize any impacts caused by the
temporary deviation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
On June 28, 2011, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled: Special Local Regulations and Safety Zones; Recurring
Events in Captain of the Port Boston Zone, in the Federal Register (76
FR 37690). We did not receive any comments on the proposed rule. No
public meeting was requested, and none was held.
Basis and Purpose
The legal basis for this rule is 33 U.S.C. 1226, 1231, 1233; 46
U.S.C. Chapter 454, 701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191, 195; Public Law
107-295, 116 Stat. 2064; and Department of Homeland Security Delegation
No. 0170.1, which collectively authorize the Coast Guard to define
regulatory safety zones and SLRs.
Marine events are annually held on a recurring basis on the
navigable waters within the Coast Guard COTP Boston Zone. These events
include fireworks displays, swim events, and other marine events. In
the past, the Coast Guard has established SLRs, regulated navigation
areas, and safety zones for these events individually to ensure the
protection of the maritime public and event participants from the
hazards associated with these marine events. Issuing individual
regulations annually has proved to be administratively cumbersome.
This rule will significantly relieve administrative overhead and
consistently apprise the public in a timely manner through permanent
publication in Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The Tables
in this regulation list each recurring marine event requiring a
regulated area as administered by the Coast Guard.
By establishing a permanent regulation containing these events, the
Coast Guard will eliminate the need to establish temporary rules for
events that occur on an annual basis. This limits the unnecessary
burden of continually establishing temporary rules every year.
This rulemaking amends, removes, and adds regulations that better
meet the Coast Guard's intended purpose of ensuring safety during these
events.
The Coast Guard has also identified a number of events in 33 CFR
part 100 which would be more appropriately located in 33 CFR part 165.
This rule amends local regulations contained in 33 CFR part 100 to move
firework displays to part 165, a citation that better meets the Coast
Guard's intended purpose of ensuring safety during these events.
The Coast Guard has promulgated safety zones or SLRs for these
areas in the past, and has not received public comments or concerns
regarding the impact to waterway traffic from these annually recurring
events.
Background
The Coast Guard is revising section 33 CFR 100.114, and adding
sections 33 CFR 100.130, and 33 CFR 165.118. The changes remove nine
outdated regulated areas and establish 43 new permanent regulated
areas. The rule applies to each recurring marine event listed in the
attached TABLES in the Coast Guard COTP Boston Zone. The TABLES provide
the event name, sponsor, and type, as well as approximate dates and
locations of the events. Notifications will be made to the local
maritime community through the Local Notice to Mariners and/or
Broadcast Notice to Mariners well in advance of the events. If the
event does not have a date listed, then exact dates and times of the
enforcement period will be announced through a Notice of Enforcement in
the Federal Register.
The particular size of the safety zones established for each event
will be reevaluated on an annual basis in accordance with Navigational
and Vessel Inspection Circular (NVIC) 07-02, Marine Safety at Firework
Displays, the National Fire Protection Association Standard 1123, Code
for Fireworks Displays (70-foot distance per inch of diameter of the
fireworks mortars), and other pertinent regulations and publications.
This regulation prevents persons and vessels from transiting areas
specifically designated as SLRs or safety zones during the periods of
enforcement to ensure the protection of the maritime public and event
participants from the hazards associated with listed marine events.
Only event sponsors, designated participants, and official patrol
vessels will be allowed to enter safety zones and SLR areas. Spectators
and other vessels not registered as event participants may not enter
the regulated areas without the permission of the COTP or the
designated representatives.
All persons and vessels shall comply with the instructions of the
COTP Boston or the designated on-scene representative. Entering into,
transiting through, mooring or anchoring within the regulated areas is
prohibited unless authorized by the COTP Boston or the designated on
scene representative.
Discussion of Comments and Changes
We did not receive any comments to the proposed rule.
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: vessels will only be
restricted from safety zones and SLR areas for a short duration of time
unless otherwise noted; vessels may transit in portions of the affected
waterway except for those areas covered by the safety zones; the Coast
Guard has promulgated safety zones or SLRs in accordance with 33 CFR
parts 100 and 165 for all event areas in the past and has not received
notice of any negative impact caused by any of the safety zones or
SLRs. Reasonable notifications will also be made by Local Notice to
Mariners (LNM) and Broadcast Notice to Mariners (BNM) well in advance
of the events.
The effect of this action simply establishes locations or the
approximate dates on which the existing regulations would be enforced
and consolidates them within one regulation. No new or additional
restrictions would be imposed on vessel traffic.
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
[[Page 69624]]
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: owners or operators of vessels intending to
transit, fish, or anchor in the areas where marine events are being
held. For the reasons outlined above, this rule would not have a
significant impact on a substantial number of small entities.
Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), in the NPRM 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.
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 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,
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
that 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,
paragraphs (34)(g) and (h), of the Instruction. This rule involves the
establishment of safety zones and special local regulations in support
of marine events. An environmental analysis checklist and a categorical
exclusion determination are available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES.

Sec. 100.130 Special Local Regulations; Recurring Annual Marine
Events in Sector Boston Captain of the Port Zone
This section applies to the marine events listed in Table 1 of this
section. The regulations in this section will be enforced for the
duration of each event, on or about the dates indicated in Table 1 of
this section. Annual notice of the exact dates and times of the
effective period of the regulations in this section with respect to
each event, the geographical description of each regulated area, and
details concerning the nature of the event and the number of
participants and type(s) of vessels involved will be provided to the
local maritime community through the Local Notice to Mariners and/or
Broadcast Notice to Mariners well in advance of the events. If the
event does not have a date listed, then the exact dates and times of
the enforcement will be announced through a Notice of Enforcement in
the Federal Register. Mariners should consult the Federal Register or
their LNM to remain apprised of minor schedule or event changes. First
Coast Guard District LNM can be found at: https://www.navcen.uscg.gov/.
The Sector Boston Marine Events schedule can also be viewed
electronically at https://www.homeport.uscg.mil. Although listed in the
Code of Federal Regulations, sponsors of events listed in Table 1 of
this section are still required to submit a marine event permit
application in accordance with 33 CFR 100.15.
(a) The Coast Guard may patrol each event area under the direction
of a designated Coast Guard Patrol Commander (PATCOM). PATCOM may be
contacted on Channel 16 VHF-FM (156.8 MHz) by the call sign ``PATCOM.''
Official patrol vessels may consist of any Coast Guard, Coast Guard
Auxiliary, state, or local law enforcement vessels assigned or approved
by the Captain of the Port, Sector Boston.
(b) Vessels may not transit the regulated areas without PATCOM
approval. Vessels permitted to transit must operate at a no wake speed,
in a manner which will not endanger participants or other crafts in the
event.
(c) Spectators or other vessels shall not anchor, block, loiter, or
impede the transit of event participants or official patrol vessels in
the regulated areas during the effective dates and times, or dates and
times as modified through LNM, unless authorized by an official patrol
vessel.
(d) PATCOM may control the movement of all vessels in the regulated
area. When hailed or signaled by an official patrol vessel, a vessel
shall come to an immediate stop and comply with the lawful directions
issued. Failure to comply with a lawful direction may result in
expulsion from the area, citation for failure to comply, or both.
(e) PATCOM may delay or terminate any marine event in this subpart
at any time it is deemed necessary to ensure the safety of life or
property. Such action may be justified as a result of weather, traffic
density, spectator operation or participant behavior.
(f) For all power boat races listed, vessels operating within the
regulated area must be at anchor within a designated spectator area or
moored to a waterfront facility in a way that will not interfere with
the progress of the event.
(g) For all regattas, boat parades, and rowing and paddling boat
races, vessels not associated with the event shall maintain a
