anchoring within these zones is
prohibited unless authorized by the
COTP Sector Long Island Sound.
DATES: This rule is effective from June
23, 2012 until July 21, 2012.
This rule will be enforced during the

A. Regulatory History and Information
The Coast Guard is issuing this final
rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment pursuant to
authority under section 4(a) of the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision
authorizes an agency to issue a rule
without prior notice and opportunity to
comment when the agency for good
cause finds that those procedures are
‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that
good cause exists for not publishing a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because any
delay encountered in this regulation’s
effective date by publishing a NPRM
would be contrary to public interest
since immediate action is needed to
provide for the safety of life and
property on navigable waters from the
hazardous nature of fireworks including
unexpected detonation and burning
debris. We spoke with each event
sponsor and each indicated they were
unable and unwilling to move their
event date to a later time for the
following reasons.
The sponsor for North Bay Fourth of
July Fireworks stated they are unwilling
to reschedule their event because it is
held in conjunction with the
Independence Day holiday. Many
individuals have made holiday plans
based on this fireworks event, changing
the date would cause numerous
cancelations and hurt small businesses.
Sponsors for Goren Wedding
Fireworks, Goldstein Party Fireworks,
National Golf Links Fireworks and
Connetquot River Boat parade Fireworks
were not aware of the requirements for
submitting a marine event application
135 days in advance resulting in a late
notification to the Coast Guard. The
sponsors are now aware of this for
future events. It is not viable for the
sponsors to reschedule the event due to
other activities being held in
conjunction with these fireworks
displays, including a wedding and

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 118 / Tuesday, June 19, 2012 / Rules and Regulations

involving many out of town guests.
The sponsor for Salute to Veterans
Fireworks, Devon Yacht Club Fireworks,
Dolan Family Fourth Fireworks, Islip
Fireworks, Madison Fireworks, Stratford
Fireworks, Rowayton Fireworks,
Quarentello Wedding Fireworks, and
Niantic Bay Fireworks submitted marine
event applications with 135 day notice
and on April 4, 2012 the Coast Guard
provided the public with prior notice
when it published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) entitled Special
Local Regulations and Safety Zones;
Marine Events in Captain of the Port
Sector Long Island Sound Zone, in the
Federal Register (77 FR 20324). The
NPRM proposed these events and
36397
advertised a public comments period.
We received no comments on the
NPRM. No requests for a public meeting
were received and no public meetings
were held. These events will take place
in less than 30 days and cannot be
moved to a later date because many
individuals made holiday plans based
on these fireworks events and changing
the dates would cause numerous
cancelations and hurt small businesses.
For the same reasons, under 5 U.S.C.
553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that
good cause exists for making this rule
effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register.
701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191, 195; 33
CFR 1.05–1, 6.04–1, 6.04–6, 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.
This rulemaking establishes marine
events involving fireworks displays on
the navigable waters of COTP Sector LIS
zone. This rule is necessary to protect
waterway users from the dangers
inherent to fireworks displays.
B. Basis and Purpose
The legal basis for this temporary rule
is 33 U.S.C. 1231; 46 U.S.C. Chapter
This temporary rule establishes safety
zones for fourteen fireworks displays in
the COTP Sector LIS zone.

Because large numbers of spectator
vessels are expected to congregate
around the location of these events,
these regulated areas are needed to
protect both spectators and participants
from the safety hazards created by them
including unexpected pyrotechnics
detonation and burning debris.
This rule prevents vessels from
entering, transiting, mooring or
anchoring within areas specifically
designated as regulated areas during the
periods of enforcement unless
authorized by the COTP or designated
representative.
The Coast Guard has determined that
these regulated areas will not have a
significant impact on vessel traffic due
to their temporary nature, limited size,
and the fact that vessels are allowed to
transit the navigable waters outside of

cause public notifications to be made by
all appropriate means including but not
limited to the Local Notice to Mariners
and Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
D. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after
considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking.
Below we summarize our analyses
based on several of these statutes or
executive orders.
1. 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
PO 00000
Frm 00009

does not require an assessment of
potential costs and benefits under
section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866
or under section 1 of Executive Order
13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those
Orders.
The Coast Guard determined that this
rule is not a significant regulatory action
for the following reasons: The regulated
areas will be of limited duration and
cover only a small portion of the
navigable waterways. Furthermore,
vessels may transit the navigable
waterways outside of the regulated
areas. Vessels requiring entry into the
regulated areas may be authorized to do
so by the COTP or designated
representative.
Advanced public notifications will
also be made to the local maritime

community by the Local Notice to
Mariners as well as Broadcast Notice to
Mariners.
2. Impact on Small Entities
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980
(RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601–612, as amended,
requires federal agencies to consider the
potential impact of regulations on small
entities during rulemaking. The Coast
Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b)
that this rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. This rule will
affect the following entities, some of
which may be small entities: The
owners or operators of vessels intending
to transit or anchor in the designated
regulated areas during the enforcement
periods stated for each event listed
below in the List of Subjects.
The temporary safety zones will not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities
for the following reasons: The regulated
areas will be of limited size and of short
duration, and vessels that can safely do
so may navigate in all other portions of
the waterways except for the areas
designated as regulated areas.
Additionally, notifications will be made
before the effective period by all
appropriate means, including but not
limited to the Local Notice to Mariners
and Broadcast Notice to Mariners well
in advance of the events.

3. 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 rule. 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 in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT, above.
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.

4. Collection of Information
This rule will not call for a new
collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501–3520).
5. Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism
under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national government and
the States, or on the distribution of
power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government. We have
analyzed this rule under that Order and
determined that this rule does not have
implications for federalism.
6. Protest Activities
The Coast Guard respects the First
Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the
person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INTFORMATION CONTACT section to
coordinate protest activities so that your
message can be received without
jeopardizing the safety or security of
people, places or vessels.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.

11. 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.
12. Energy Effects
This action is not a ‘‘significant
energy action’’ under Executive Order
13211, Actions Concerning Regulations
That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use.
13. Technical Standards
This rule does not use technical
standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus
standards.
14. 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 determined 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 involves the
establishment of safety zones. This rule
is categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph 34(g) of Figure
2–1 of the Commandant Instruction. An
environmental analysis checklist
supporting this determination and a
Categorical Exclusion Determination are
available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES. We seek any
comments or information that may lead
to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this rule.

by the COTP Sector Long Island Sound.
DATES: This rule is effective from June 23, 2012 until July 21, 2012.
This rule will be enforced during the specific dates and times
listed in Table of Sec. 165.T01-0477.

A. Regulatory History and Information
The Coast Guard is issuing this final rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4(a) of the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision
authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because any delay encountered in this
regulation's effective date by publishing a NPRM would be contrary to
public interest since immediate action is needed to provide for the
safety of life and property on navigable waters from the hazardous
nature of fireworks including unexpected detonation and burning debris.
We spoke with each event sponsor and each indicated they were unable
and unwilling to move their event date to a later time for the
following reasons.
The sponsor for North Bay Fourth of July Fireworks stated they are
unwilling to reschedule their event because it is held in conjunction
with the Independence Day holiday. Many individuals have made holiday
plans based on this fireworks event, changing the date would cause
numerous cancelations and hurt small businesses.
Sponsors for Goren Wedding Fireworks, Goldstein Party Fireworks,
National Golf Links Fireworks and Connetquot River Boat parade
Fireworks were not aware of the requirements for submitting a marine
event application 135 days in advance resulting in a late notification
to the Coast Guard. The sponsors are now aware of this for future
events. It is not viable for the sponsors to reschedule the event due
to other activities being held in conjunction with these fireworks
displays, including a wedding and
[[Page 36397]]
Independence Day celebrations involving many out of town guests.
The sponsor for Salute to Veterans Fireworks, Devon Yacht Club
Fireworks, Dolan Family Fourth Fireworks, Islip Fireworks, Madison
Fireworks, Stratford Fireworks, Rowayton Fireworks, Quarentello Wedding
Fireworks, and Niantic Bay Fireworks submitted marine event
applications with 135 day notice and on April 4, 2012 the Coast Guard
provided the public with prior notice when it published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) entitled Special Local Regulations and
Safety Zones; Marine Events in Captain of the Port Sector Long Island
Sound Zone, in the Federal Register (77 FR 20324). The NPRM proposed
these events and advertised a public comments period. We received no
comments on the NPRM. No requests for a public meeting were received
and no public meetings were held. These events will take place in less
than 30 days and cannot be moved to a later date because many
individuals made holiday plans based on these fireworks events and
changing the dates would cause numerous cancelations and hurt small
businesses.
For the same reasons, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard
finds that good cause exists for making this rule effective less than
30 days after publication in the Federal Register.
B. Basis and Purpose
The legal basis for this temporary rule is 33 U.S.C. 1231; 46
U.S.C. Chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191, 195; 33 CFR 1.05-1,
6.04-1, 6.04-6, 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.
This rulemaking establishes marine events involving fireworks
displays on the navigable waters of COTP Sector LIS zone. This rule is
necessary to protect waterway users from the dangers inherent to
fireworks displays.
C. Discussion of the Final Rule
This temporary rule establishes safety zones for fourteen fireworks
displays in the COTP Sector LIS zone.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because large numbers of spectator vessels are expected to
congregate around the location of these events, these regulated areas
are needed to protect both spectators and participants from the safety
hazards created by them including unexpected pyrotechnics detonation
and burning debris.
This rule prevents vessels from entering, transiting, mooring or
anchoring within areas specifically designated as regulated areas
during the periods of enforcement unless authorized by the COTP or
designated representative.
The Coast Guard has determined that these regulated areas will not
have a significant impact on vessel traffic due to their temporary
nature, limited size, and the fact that vessels are allowed to transit
the navigable waters outside of the regulated areas. The COTP will
cause public notifications to be made by all appropriate means
including but not limited to the Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast
Notice to Mariners.
D. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on several of these statutes or executive orders.
1. 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 Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders.
The Coast Guard determined that this rule is not a significant
regulatory action for the following reasons: The regulated areas will
be of limited duration and cover only a small portion of the navigable
waterways. Furthermore, vessels may transit the navigable waterways
outside of the regulated areas. Vessels requiring entry into the
regulated areas may be authorized to do so by the COTP or designated
representative.
Advanced public notifications will also be made to the local
maritime
[[Page 36398]]
community by the Local Notice to Mariners as well as Broadcast Notice
to Mariners.
2. Impact on Small Entities
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The Coast Guard
certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
This rule will affect the following entities, some of which may be
small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to transit
or anchor in the designated regulated areas during the enforcement
periods stated for each event listed below in the List of Subjects.
The temporary safety zones will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities for the following
reasons: The regulated areas will be of limited size and of short
duration, and vessels that can safely do so may navigate in all other
portions of the waterways except for the areas designated as regulated
areas. Additionally, notifications will be made before the effective
period by all appropriate means, including but not limited to the Local
Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners well in advance of
the events.
3. 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 rule. 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 in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT,
above.
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.
4. Collection of Information
This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).
5. Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and determined
that this rule does not have implications for federalism.
6. Protest Activities
The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INTFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. Energy Effects
This action is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive
Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.
13. Technical Standards
This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.
14. 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 determined
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 involves the establishment of safety zones. This
rule is categorically excluded from further review under paragraph
34(g) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. An environmental
analysis checklist supporting this determination and a Categorical
Exclusion Determination are available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or information that may lead to
the discovery of a significant environmental impact from this rule.
