local regulations and safety zones would
expedite public notification of events,
and ensure the protection of the
maritime public and event participants
from the hazards associated with these
annual recurring events.

The legal basis for the proposed rule
is 33 U.S.C. 1226, 1231, 1233; 46 U.S.C.
chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191,

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
special local regulations.
PO 00000
Frm 00049
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702

Swim events, fireworks displays, and
marine events are held on an annual
recurring basis on the navigable waters
within the Coast Guard COTP Northern
New England Zone. In the past, the
Coast Guard has established special
local regulations, regulated areas and
safety zones for these annual recurring
events on a case by case basis to ensure
the protection of the maritime public
and event participants from the hazards
associated with these events. The Coast
Guard has not received public
comments or concerns regarding the
impact to waterway traffic from these
annually recurring events.
This proposed rule will consistently
apprise the public in a timely manner
through permanent publication in Title
33 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
The TABLES in this proposed
regulation list each annual recurring
event requiring a regulated area as
administered by the Coast Guard.
By establishing permanent regulations
containing these events, the Coast Guard
would eliminate the need to establish
temporary rules for events that occur on
an annual basis and thereby limit the
costs associated with cumulative
regulations.
This rulemaking will remove, add,
and consolidate regulations to better
meet the Coast Guard’s intended
purpose of ensuring safety during these
events.
Discussion of Proposed Rule
The Coast Guard proposes to amend
33 CFR 100.120 (Special Local
Regulations) and 33 CFR 165.171 (Safety
Zones).
The proposed rule would apply to the
annual recurring events listed in the
attached TABLES in the Coast Guard
COTP Northern New England Zone. The
TABLES provide the event name,
sponsor, and type, as well as
approximate dates and locations of the
events. The specific times, dates,
regulated areas, and enforcement period
for each event will be provided through
the Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast
Notice to Mariners or through a Notice
of Enforcement published 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 (100-foot distance per inch of
diameter of the fireworks mortars), and
other pertinent regulations and
publications.

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 248 / Tuesday, December 27, 2011 / Proposed Rules
This proposed regulation would
prevent vessels from transiting areas
specifically designated as special local
regulations or safety zones during the
periods of enforcement to ensure the
protection of the maritime public and
event participants from the hazards
associated with the listed annual
recurring events. Only event sponsors,
designated participants, and official
patrol vessels will be allowed to enter
regulated 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 representative.

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 Evaluation
This proposed 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.
We expect the economic impact of
this proposed rule to be minimal.
Although this regulation may have some
impact on the public, the potential
impact will be minimized for the
following reasons: The Coast Guard has
previously promulgated safety zones or
special local regulations in accordance
with 33 CFR Parts 100 and 165 for
approximately 85% of the event areas
contained within this proposed
regulation and has not received notice
of any negative impact caused by any of
the safety zones or special local
regulations. By establishing a permanent
regulation containing all of these events,
the Coast Guard will eliminate the need
to establish individual temporary rules
for each separate event that occurs on an
annual basis, thereby limiting the cost of
cumulative regulations.
Vessels will only be restricted from
safety zones and special local regulation
areas for a short duration of time.
Vessels may transit in portions of the
affected waterway except for those areas
covered by the proposed regulated
areas. Notifications will also be made to
the local maritime community through
the Local Notice to Mariners and
Broadcast Notice to Mariners well in
advance of the events. If the event does
not have a date listed, then the exact
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:47 Dec 23, 2011
Jkt 226001
dates and times of the enforcement
period will be announced through a
Notice of Enforcement in the Federal
Register. No new or additional
restrictions will be imposed on vessel
traffic.
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.
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. This proposed rule would affect
the following entities, some of which
might be small entities: owners or
operators of vessels intending to transit,
fish, or anchor in the areas where the
listed annual recurring events are being
held.
The proposed rule would not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for
the following reasons: vessels will only
be restricted from safety zones and
special local regulation areas for a short
duration of time; vessels may transit in
portions of the affected waterway except
for those areas covered by the proposed
regulated areas; the Coast Guard has
promulgated safety zones or special
local regulations in accordance with 33
CFR Parts 100 and 165 for
approximately 85% of the event areas in
the past and has not received notice of
any negative impact caused by any of
the safety zones or special local
regulations; and notifications will be
made to the local maritime community
through the Local Notice to Mariners
and 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. No new or additional
restrictions would be imposed on vessel
traffic.
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 the person
listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT. 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,
E:\FR\FM\27DEP1.SGM

Environment
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.
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
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.

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
that this action appears to be 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
will be available in the docket where
indicated under ADDRESSES. This
proposed rule involves water activities
including swimming events and
fireworks displays. This rule appears to
be categorically excluded, under figure
2–1, paragraph (34)(g) [Safety Zones]
and (34)(h) [Special Local Regulations]

We seek any comments or information
that may lead to the discovery of a
significant environmental impact from
this proposed rule.

[Docket No. USCG-2011-1023]
RIN 1625-AA08; 1625-AA00
Special Local Regulations and Safety Zones; Recurring Events in
Northern New England
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to update recurring special local
regulations and safety zones in the Coast Guard Captain of the Port
(COTP) Northern New England Zone for annual recurring marine events.
When these special local regulations or safety zones are subject to
enforcement, this rule would restrict vessels from portions of water
areas during these annual recurring events. The revised special local
regulations and safety zones would expedite public notification of
events, and ensure the protection of the maritime public and event
participants from the hazards associated with these annual recurring
events.
DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before February 27, 2012. Requests for public meetings must
be received by the Coast Guard on or before January 17, 2012.

section of this notice.
Basis and Purpose
The legal basis for the proposed rule is 33 U.S.C. 1226, 1231,
1233; 46 U.S.C. chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191, 195; 33 CFR
1.05-1, and 160.5; 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 special
local regulations.
Swim events, fireworks displays, and marine events are held on an
annual recurring basis on the navigable waters within the Coast Guard
COTP Northern New England Zone. In the past, the Coast Guard has
established special local regulations, regulated areas and safety zones
for these annual recurring events on a case by case basis to ensure the
protection of the maritime public and event participants from the
hazards associated with these events. The Coast Guard has not received
public comments or concerns regarding the impact to waterway traffic
from these annually recurring events.
This proposed rule will consistently apprise the public in a timely
manner through permanent publication in Title 33 of the Code of Federal
Regulations. The TABLES in this proposed regulation list each annual
recurring event requiring a regulated area as administered by the Coast
Guard.
By establishing permanent regulations containing these events, the
Coast Guard would eliminate the need to establish temporary rules for
events that occur on an annual basis and thereby limit the costs
associated with cumulative regulations.
This rulemaking will remove, add, and consolidate regulations to
better meet the Coast Guard's intended purpose of ensuring safety
during these events.
Discussion of Proposed Rule
The Coast Guard proposes to amend 33 CFR 100.120 (Special Local
Regulations) and 33 CFR 165.171 (Safety Zones).
The proposed rule would apply to the annual recurring events listed
in the attached TABLES in the Coast Guard COTP Northern New England
Zone. The TABLES provide the event name, sponsor, and type, as well as
approximate dates and locations of the events. The specific times,
dates, regulated areas, and enforcement period for each event will be
provided through the Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast Notice to
Mariners or through a Notice of Enforcement published 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 (100-foot distance per inch of diameter of the
fireworks mortars), and other pertinent regulations and publications.
[[Page 80852]]
This proposed regulation would prevent vessels from transiting
areas specifically designated as special local regulations or safety
zones during the periods of enforcement to ensure the protection of the
maritime public and event participants from the hazards associated with
the listed annual recurring events. Only event sponsors, designated
participants, and official patrol vessels will be allowed to enter
regulated 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 representative.
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 Evaluation
This proposed 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.
We expect the economic impact of this proposed rule to be minimal.
Although this regulation may have some impact on the public, the
potential impact will be minimized for the following reasons: The Coast
Guard has previously promulgated safety zones or special local
regulations in accordance with 33 CFR Parts 100 and 165 for
approximately 85% of the event areas contained within this proposed
regulation and has not received notice of any negative impact caused by
any of the safety zones or special local regulations. By establishing a
permanent regulation containing all of these events, the Coast Guard
will eliminate the need to establish individual temporary rules for
each separate event that occurs on an annual basis, thereby limiting
the cost of cumulative regulations.
Vessels will only be restricted from safety zones and special local
regulation areas for a short duration of time. Vessels may transit in
portions of the affected waterway except for those areas covered by the
proposed regulated areas. Notifications will also be made to the local
maritime community through the Local Notice to Mariners and 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
period will be announced through a Notice of Enforcement in the Federal
Register. No new or additional restrictions will be imposed on vessel
traffic.
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. 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. This proposed rule would affect the following
entities, some of which might be small entities: owners or operators of
vessels intending to transit, fish, or anchor in the areas where the
listed annual recurring events are being held.
The proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: vessels
will only be restricted from safety zones and special local regulation
areas for a short duration of time; vessels may transit in portions of
the affected waterway except for those areas covered by the proposed
regulated areas; the Coast Guard has promulgated safety zones or
special local regulations in accordance with 33 CFR Parts 100 and 165
for approximately 85% of the event areas in the past and has not
received notice of any negative impact caused by any of the safety
zones or special local regulations; and notifications will be made to
the local maritime community through the Local Notice to Mariners and
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. No new or additional restrictions would be
imposed on vessel traffic.
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 the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 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,
[[Page 80853]]
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 that this action appears to be
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 will be available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES. This proposed rule involves water activities including
swimming events and fireworks displays. This rule appears to be
categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(g) [Safety
Zones] and (34)(h) [Special Local Regulations] of the Instruction.
We seek any comments or information that may lead to the discovery
of a significant environmental impact from this proposed rule.

Although listed in the Code of Federal Regulations, sponsors of events
listed in the Table to Sec. 100.120 are still required to submit
marine event applications 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. The Patrol Commander 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 Northern New England.
(b) Vessels may not transit the regulated areas without the Patrol
Commander's approval. Vessels permitted to transit must operate at a no
wake speed and in a manner which will not endanger participants or
