Appendix 1—Commission Voting Summary
(a) Definition. For the purpose of this
section, the term ‘‘person’’ means an
‘‘associated person of a swap dealer or
major swap participant’’ as defined in
section 1a(4) of the Act and § 1.3(aa)(6).
(b) Fitness. No swap dealer or major
swap participant may permit a person
who is subject to a statutory
disqualification under section 8a(2) or

in effecting swaps on behalf of the swap
dealer or major swap participant, if the
swap dealer or major swap participant
knows, or in the exercise of reasonable
care should know, of the statutory
disqualification; Provided, however, that
the prohibition set forth in this
paragraph (b) shall not apply to any
person listed as a principal or registered
as an associated person of a futures
commission merchant, retail foreign
exchange dealer, introducing broker,
commodity pool operator, commodity
trading advisor, or leverage transaction
merchant, or any person registered as a

On this matter, Chairman Gensler and
Commissioners Sommers, Chilton, O’Malia
and Wetjen voted in the affirmative; no
Commissioner voted in the negative.
Appendix 2—Statement of Chairman Gary
Gensler
I support the final rule to establish a
process for the registration of swap dealers
and major swap participants. The rule
implements the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act (DoddFrank Act) mandate that these entities be
subject to registration and regulation for their
swaps business. Registration will enable the
Commodity Futures Trading Commission to
monitor swap dealers and major swap
participants for compliance with the DoddFrank Act and Commission rulemakings.
Through regulation of dealers, the
Commission will be able to protect market
participants and the public, as well as
promote sound risk management practices.
The final rule includes a requirement that
swap dealers and major swap participants
become members of a registered futures
association, such as the National Futures
Association (NFA).
In addition, I support the order delegating
to the NFA the authority to register swap
dealers and major swap participants. This

AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard is revising
the list of special local regulations
established for recurring marine events
at various locations within the
geographic boundary of the Fifth Coast
Guard District. This rule revises 33 CFR
100.501 by adding 6 new annual
recurring marine events and modifying
event date(s) for 12 previously
established locations within the
geographic boundary of the Fifth Coast
Guard District. This rule also deletes 4
previously listed marine events and
corresponding regulated areas that no
longer occur. These regulations will
apply to all events listed in the table
attached to the regulation, and include
events such as regattas, power boat races
and marine parades. Special local
regulations are established to provide
for the safety of life on navigable waters
during these events, reduce the Coast
Guard’s administrative workload and
expedite public notification of events.
Entry into or movement within these
proposed regulated areas during the
enforcement periods is prohibited
without approval of the appropriate
Captain of the Port.
DATES: This rule is effective February
21, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
On October 12, 2011, we published a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
entitled ‘‘Special Local Regulations;
Recurring Marine Events in the Fifth
Coast Guard District’’ in the Federal
Register (76 FR 63239). We received no
comments on the proposed rule.
Basis and Purpose
The Coast Guard is revising the list of
permanent special local regulations at
33 CFR 100.501, established for
Table to § 100.501

recurring marine events at various
locations within the geographic
boundary of the Fifth Coast Guard
District. The Fifth Coast Guard District
is comprised of the land areas and U.S.
navigable waters adjacent to North
Carolina, Virginia, District of Columbia,
Maryland, Delaware and portions of
Pennsylvania and New Jersey. For a
detailed description of the geographical
area of the district and each Coast Guard
Sector—Captain of the Port Zone, please
see 33 CFR 3.25.
The Coast Guard is revising the list of
special local regulations at 33 CFR
100.501, established for various marine
events, by adding 6 new annual
recurring events and modifying 12
previously established locations within
the geographic boundary of the Fifth
Coast Guard District. This rule also
deletes 4 previously listed marine
events and corresponding regulated
areas that are no longer occurring. The
special local regulated areas removed
from this section include: Night in

This regulation currently includes
events such as sailing regattas, power
boat races, swim races, holiday parades,
crew and other paddle craft races.
Currently, there are 57 annual recurring
marine events and many other nonrecurring events within the Fifth Coast
Guard District. In the past, the Coast
Guard regulated these events by creating
individual special local regulations on a
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Revision
case by case basis. Most of these events
required only the establishment of a
regulated area and assignment of a
patrol commander to ensure safety.
Issuing individual, annual special local
regulations has created a significant
administrative burden on the Coast
Guard.
Additionally, for the majority of these
events, the Coast Guard does not receive

notification of the event, or important
details of the event are not finalized by
event organizers, with sufficient time to
publish a notice of proposed rulemaking
and final rule before the event date. The
Coast Guard must therefore create
temporary final rules that sometimes are
completed only days before the event.
This results in delayed notification to
E:\FR\FM\19JAR1.SGM
19JAR1
EMCDONALD on DSK29S0YB1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 12 / Thursday, January 19, 2012 / Rules and Regulations
the public, potentially placing the
public and event participants at risk.
This rule will significantly relieve the
administrative burden on the Coast
Guard, and at the same time allow the
sponsor of the event and the Coast
Guard to notify the public of these
events in a timely manner. The public
would be provided with notice of events
through the table attached to this
regulation. This table lists each
recurring marine event that may be
regulated by the Coast Guard, and
indicates the sponsor, as well as the
date(s) and location of the event.
Because the dates and locations of these
events may change slightly from year to
year, the specific information on each
event, including the exact dates, specific
areas, and description of the regulated
area, would be provided to the public
through a Local Notice to Mariners
published before the event, as well as
through Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
This table would also be updated by the
Coast Guard periodically to add new
recurring events, remove events that no
longer occur, and update listed events to
ensure accurate information is provided.
Based on the nature of marine events,
large number of participants and
spectators, and the event locations, the
Coast Guard has determined that the
events listed in this rule could pose a
risk to participants or waterway users if
normal vessel traffic were to interfere
with the event. Possible hazards include
risks of participant injury or death
resulting from near or actual contact
with non-participant vessels traversing
through the regulated areas. In order to
protect the safety of all waterway users
including event participants and
spectators, this rule would establish
special local regulations for the time
and location of each marine event.
This prevents vessels from entering,
transiting, mooring or anchoring within
areas specifically designated as
regulated areas during the periods of
enforcement unless authorized by the
Captain of the Port, or designated Coast
Guard Patrol Commander. The
designated ‘‘Patrol Commander’’
includes Coast Guard commissioned,
warrant, or petty officer who has been
designated by the Captain of the Port to
act on their behalf. On-scene patrol
commander may be augmented by local,
State or Federal officials authorized to
act in support of the Coast Guard.
Discussion of Comments and Changes
The Coast Guard did not receive
comments in response to the notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published
in the Federal Register. Accordingly,
the Coast Guard is revising the special
local regulations as outlined in this
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
2631
rulemaking and listed in the table to
§ 100.501.
Patrol Commander, vessels may transit
through the regulated area.
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.
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 the rule so
that they could 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.
Regulatory Planning and Review
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, Improving
Regulation and Regulatory Review, and
does not require an assessment of
potential costs and benefits under
section 6(a)(3) of that Executive Order
12866 or under section 1 of Executive
Order 13563. The Office of Management
and Budget has not reviewed it under
those Orders.
We expect the economic impact of
this rule to be so minimal that a full
Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary.
The effect of this action merely
establishes the dates on which the
existing regulations would be enforced
and consolidates them within one
regulation. It would not impose any
additional restrictions 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
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 would affect the following
entities, some of which might be small
entities: The owners or operators of
vessels intending to transit or anchor in
the areas where marine events are being
held. This regulation will not have a
significant impact on a substantial
number of small entities because it will
only be enforced on marine events that
have been permitted by the Coast Guard
Captain of the Port. The Captain of the
Port will ensure that small entities are
able to operate in the areas where events
are occurring. Additionally, in most
cases, vessels will be able to safely
transit around the regulated area at all
times, and, with the permission of the

Collection of Information
This rule calls for no new collection
of information under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–
3520).
Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism
under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct
effect on State or local governments and
would either preempt State law or
impose a substantial direct cost of
compliance on them. We have analyzed
this rule under that Order and have
determined that it does not have
implications for federalism.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires
Federal agencies to assess the effects of
their discretionary regulatory actions. In
particular, the Act addresses actions
that may result in the expenditure by a
State, local, or tribal government, in the
aggregate, or by the private sector of
$100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or
more in any one year. Though this rule
will not result in such an expenditure,
we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.
Taking of Private Property
This rule will not cause a taking of
private property or otherwise have
taking implications under Executive
Order 12630, Governmental Actions and

Interference with Constitutionally
Protected Property Rights.
Civil Justice Reform
This rule meets applicable standards
in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive
Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to
minimize litigation, eliminate
ambiguity, and reduce burden.
Protection of Children
We have analyzed this rule under
Executive Order 13045, Protection of
Children from Environmental Health
Risks and Safety Risks. This rule is not
an economically significant rule and
does not create an environmental risk to
health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.
Indian Tribal Governments
This rule does not have tribal
implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments,
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.
EMCDONALD on DSK29S0YB1PROD with RULES
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
VerDate Mar<15>2010
14:51 Jan 18, 2012
Jkt 226001
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 that do not
individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human
environment. This rule is categorically
excluded, under figure 2–1, paragraph
(34)(h.), of the Instruction. This rule
involves implementation of regulations
within 33 CFR Part 100 that apply to
organized marine events on the
navigable waters of the United States
that may have potential for negative
impact on the safety or other interest of
waterway users and shore side activities
in the event area. The category of water
activities includes but is not limited to
sail boat regattas, boat parades, power
boat racing, swimming events, crew
racing, and sail board racing. Under
figure 2–1, paragraph (34)(h.), of the
Instruction, an environmental analysis
checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are not required for this
rule.

(a) Definitions. The following
definitions apply to this section:
(1) Coast Guard Patrol Commander. A
Patrol Commander is a commissioned,
warrant, or petty officer of the Coast
Guard who has been designated by the
respective Coast Guard Sector—Captain
of the Port to enforce these regulations.
(2) Official Patrol means any vessel
assigned or approved by the respective
Captain of the Port with a
commissioned, warrant, or petty officer
on board and displaying a Coast Guard
ensign.
(3) Spectators. All persons and vessels
not registered with the event sponsor as
participants or official patrol vessels.
(b) Event Patrol. The Coast Guard may
assign an event patrol, as described in
§ 100.40 of this part, to each regulated
event listed in the table. Additionally, a
Patrol Commander may be assigned to
oversee the patrol. The event patrol and
Patrol Commander may be contacted on
VHF–FM Channel 16.
(c) Special local regulations. (1) The
Coast Guard Patrol Commander may
forbid and control the movement of all
vessels in the regulated area(s). When
hailed or signaled by an official patrol
vessel, a vessel in these areas shall
immediately comply with the directions
given. Failure to do so may result in
expulsion from the area, citation for
failure to comply, or both.
(2) The Coast Guard Patrol
Commander may terminate the event, or
the operation of any vessel participating
in the event, at any time it is deemed
necessary for the protection of life or
property.
(3) Only event sponsor designated
participants and official patrol vessels
are allowed to enter the regulated area.
(4) Spectators are only allowed inside
the regulated area if they remain within
a designated spectator area. Spectators
may contact the Coast Guard Patrol
Commander to request permission to
pass through the regulated area. If
permission is granted, spectators must
pass directly through the regulated area
at safe speed and without loitering.
(d) Contact information. Questions
about marine events should be
addressed to the local Coast Guard
Captain of the Port for the area in which
the event is occurring. Contact
information is listed below. For a

[Docket No. USCG-2011-0106]
RIN 1625-AA08
Special Local Regulations; Recurring Marine Events in the Fifth
Coast Guard District
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is revising the list of special local
regulations established for recurring marine events at various
locations within the geographic boundary of the Fifth Coast Guard
District. This rule revises 33 CFR 100.501 by adding 6 new annual
recurring marine events and modifying event date(s) for 12 previously
established locations within the geographic boundary of the Fifth Coast
Guard District. This rule also deletes 4 previously listed marine
events and corresponding regulated areas that no longer occur. These
regulations will apply to all events listed in the table attached to
the regulation, and include events such as regattas, power boat races
and marine parades. Special local regulations are established to
provide for the safety of life on navigable waters during these events,
reduce the Coast Guard's administrative workload and expedite public
notification of events. Entry into or movement within these proposed
regulated areas during the enforcement periods is prohibited without
approval of the appropriate Captain of the Port.
DATES: This rule is effective February 21, 2012.
ADDRESSES: Comments and material received from the public, as well as
documents mentioned in this preamble as being available in the docket,
are part of docket USCG-2011-0106 and are available online by going to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
On October 12, 2011, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled ``Special Local Regulations; Recurring Marine Events in
the Fifth Coast Guard District'' in the Federal Register (76 FR 63239).
We received no comments on the proposed rule.
Basis and Purpose
The Coast Guard is revising the list of permanent special local
regulations at 33 CFR 100.501, established for recurring marine events
at various locations within the geographic boundary of the Fifth Coast
Guard District. The Fifth Coast Guard District is comprised of the land
areas and U.S. navigable waters adjacent to North Carolina, Virginia,
District of Columbia, Maryland, Delaware and portions of Pennsylvania
and New Jersey. For a detailed description of the geographical area of
the district and each Coast Guard Sector--Captain of the Port Zone,
please see 33 CFR 3.25.
The Coast Guard is revising the list of special local regulations
at 33 CFR 100.501, established for various marine events, by adding 6
new annual recurring events and modifying 12 previously established
locations within the geographic boundary of the Fifth Coast Guard
District. This rule also deletes 4 previously listed marine events and
corresponding regulated areas that are no longer occurring. The special
local regulated areas removed from this section include: Night in
Venice, Ocean City, NJ; Baltimore County Community Waterfront Festival,
Martin Lagoon, MD; Annapolis Triathlon Swim, Spa Creek, Severn River,
MD; and Virginia state hydroplane championships, Western Branch,
Elizabeth River, VA. Currently there are 57 special local regulations
that are established and enforced at various periods throughout the
year that are held on an annual basis. This rule will increase the
total number of special local regulations to 59 locations for marine
events within the boundary of the Fifth Coast Guard District. The table
to 33 CFR 100.501 is renumbered within each section to facilitate
future changes.
The Coast Guard is revising regulations at 33 CFR 100.501 by adding
6 new marine event locations to the permanent special local regulations
listed in this section. The new special local regulations are listed in
the following table, including reference by section as printed in the
Table to Sec. 100.501.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This regulation currently includes events such as sailing regattas,
power boat races, swim races, holiday parades, crew and other paddle
craft races. Currently, there are 57 annual recurring marine events and
many other non-recurring events within the Fifth Coast Guard District.
In the past, the Coast Guard regulated these events by creating
individual special local regulations on a case by case basis. Most of
these events required only the establishment of a regulated area and
assignment of a patrol commander to ensure safety. Issuing individual,
annual special local regulations has created a significant
administrative burden on the Coast Guard.
Additionally, for the majority of these events, the Coast Guard
does not receive notification of the event, or important details of the
event are not finalized by event organizers, with sufficient time to
publish a notice of proposed rulemaking and final rule before the event
date. The Coast Guard must therefore create temporary final rules that
sometimes are completed only days before the event. This results in
delayed notification to
[[Page 2631]]
the public, potentially placing the public and event participants at
risk.
This rule will significantly relieve the administrative burden on
the Coast Guard, and at the same time allow the sponsor of the event
and the Coast Guard to notify the public of these events in a timely
manner. The public would be provided with notice of events through the
table attached to this regulation. This table lists each recurring
marine event that may be regulated by the Coast Guard, and indicates
the sponsor, as well as the date(s) and location of the event. Because
the dates and locations of these events may change slightly from year
to year, the specific information on each event, including the exact
dates, specific areas, and description of the regulated area, would be
provided to the public through a Local Notice to Mariners published
before the event, as well as through Broadcast Notice to Mariners. This
table would also be updated by the Coast Guard periodically to add new
recurring events, remove events that no longer occur, and update listed
events to ensure accurate information is provided.
Based on the nature of marine events, large number of participants
and spectators, and the event locations, the Coast Guard has determined
that the events listed in this rule could pose a risk to participants
or waterway users if normal vessel traffic were to interfere with the
event. Possible hazards include risks of participant injury or death
resulting from near or actual contact with non-participant vessels
traversing through the regulated areas. In order to protect the safety
of all waterway users including event participants and spectators, this
rule would establish special local regulations for the time and
location of each marine event.
This prevents vessels from entering, transiting, mooring or
anchoring within areas specifically designated as regulated areas
during the periods of enforcement unless authorized by the Captain of
the Port, or designated Coast Guard Patrol Commander. The designated
``Patrol Commander'' includes Coast Guard commissioned, warrant, or
petty officer who has been designated by the Captain of the Port to act
on their behalf. On-scene patrol commander may be augmented by local,
State or Federal officials authorized to act in support of the Coast
Guard.
Discussion of Comments and Changes
The Coast Guard did not receive comments in response to the notice
of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published in the Federal Register.
Accordingly, the Coast Guard is revising the special local regulations
as outlined in this rulemaking and listed in the table to Sec.
100.501.
Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.
Regulatory Planning and Review
This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that Executive Order 12866
or under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management
and Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders.
We expect the economic impact of this rule to be so minimal that a
full Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary. The effect of this action
merely establishes the dates on which the existing regulations would be
enforced and consolidates them within one regulation. It would not
impose any additional restrictions 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 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 would affect the following entities, some of which
might be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending
to transit or anchor in the areas where marine events are being held.
This regulation will not have a significant impact on a substantial
number of small entities because it will only be enforced on marine
events that have been permitted by the Coast Guard Captain of the Port.
The Captain of the Port will ensure that small entities are able to
operate in the areas where events are occurring. Additionally, in most
cases, vessels will be able to safely transit around the regulated area
at all times, and, with the permission of the Patrol Commander, vessels
may transit through the regulated area.
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 the rule so that they could
better evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking
process.
Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-(888) 734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.
Collection of Information
This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).
Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for
federalism.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.
Taking of Private Property
This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and
[[Page 2632]]
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 that do not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This
rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(h.),
of the Instruction. This rule involves implementation of regulations
within 33 CFR Part 100 that apply to organized marine events on the
navigable waters of the United States that may have potential for
negative impact on the safety or other interest of waterway users and
shore side activities in the event area. The category of water
activities includes but is not limited to sail boat regattas, boat
parades, power boat racing, swimming events, crew racing, and sail
board racing. Under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(h.), of the Instruction,
an environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are not required for this rule.
List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 100
Marine safety, Navigation (water), Reporting and recordkeeping
requirements, Waterways.
For the reasons discussed in the preamble, the Coast Guard amends
33 CFR part 100 as follows:
