Special Local Regulations and Safety
Zones; Recurring Marine Events and
Fireworks Displays Within the Fifth
Coast Guard District
Coast Guard, DHS.
Notice of proposed rulemaking.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard proposes to
revise the list of special local
regulations and safety zones established
for recurring marine events and
fireworks displays at various locations
within the geographic boundary of the
Fifth Coast Guard District. This
rulemaking proposes to revise Coast
Guard regulations by adding 15 new
annual recurring marine events,
fireworks displays and revising event
date(s) and coordinates for 31
previously established locations within
the geographic boundary of the Fifth
Coast Guard District. This proposed rule
would also delete 21 previously listed
marine events, fireworks displays and
corresponding regulated areas that no
longer occur. These regulations would
apply to all events listed in the table
attached to the regulation, and include
events such as regattas, power boat
races, marine parades, swimming races
and fireworks displays. Special local
regulations and safety zones are being
proposed 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: Comments and related material
must be received by the Coast Guard on
or before April 1, 2013.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments

B. Regulatory History and Information
The special local regulations at 33
CFR 100.501 were amended in the
January 19, 2012, issue of the Federal
Register (77 FR 2632). The purpose of
the rulemaking was to revise the TABLE
to 33 CFR 100.501 by adding new
annual recurring marine events,
modifying event date(s) for previously
established locations within the
geographic boundary of the Fifth Coast
Guard District; and delete previously
listed marine events and corresponding
regulated areas that no longer occur.
The safety zones at 33 CFR 165.506
were amended in the March 23, 2012,
issue of the Federal Register (77 FR
16932). The Coast Guard revised the list
of permanent safety zones in the TABLE
to 33 CFR 165.506, for recurring
fireworks displays, by adding new
locations, deleting previously
established locations and modifying
previously established locations within
the geographic boundary of the Fifth
Coast Guard District.

regulations at 33 CFR 100.501 and safety
zones at 33 CFR 165.506, established for
recurring marine events and fireworks
displays 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.
Special Local Regulations
Under 33 CFR 100.35, the Coast
Guard District Commander has
authority to promulgate certain special
local regulations deemed necessary to
ensure the safety of life on the navigable
waters immediately before, during, and
immediately after an approved regatta or
marine parade. Currently there are 59
special local regulations that are
established and enforced at various
periods throughout the year that are
held on an annual basis. This proposed
rule will decrease the total number of
special local regulations to 51 locations
for marine events within the boundary
of the Fifth Coast Guard District. This
regulation currently includes events
such as sailing regattas, power boat
races, swim races, holiday parades, crew
and other paddle craft races. The Coast
Guard proposes to revise the list of
special local regulations at 33 CFR
100.501, established for various marine
events, by adding 7 new annual
recurring events and revising 13
previously established locations within
the geographic boundary of the Fifth
Coast Guard District. This rule also
deletes 15 previously listed marine
events and corresponding regulated
areas that are no longer occurring.
The Coast Guard proposes to revise
regulations at 33 CFR 100.501 by adding
7 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
§ 100.501.

In the past, the Coast Guard regulated
marine 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 imposed a significant
administrative burden on the Coast
Guard.
Additionally, for the majority of these
events, the Coast Guard does not receive
notification of the marine 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 issue temporary final
rules that sometimes are completed only
days before the event. This results in
delayed notification to the public,
potentially placing the public and event
participants at risk.
This proposed rule would
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, update listed events to
ensure accurate information is provided
and remove events that no longer occur.
Based on the nature of marine events,
large number of participants and
spectators, and 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 proposed rule would
establish special local regulations for
the time and location of each marine
event.

This proposed 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 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. Onscene patrol commander may be
augmented by local, State or Federal
officials authorized to act in support of
the Coast Guard.
Safety Zones
Under 33 CFR 165.23, the Coast
Guard District Commander has
authority to promulgate certain safety
zones deemed necessary to ensure the
safety of life on the navigable waters
immediately before, during, and
immediately after an approved
fireworks displays. In this rule the Coast
Guard proposes to revise the list of

opportunity for public comment.
Establishing permanent safety zones
through notice and comment
rulemaking provides the public the
opportunity to comment on the safety
zone locations, size, and length of time
the zones will be enforced.
Each year organizations in the Fifth
Coast Guard District sponsor fireworks
displays in the same general location
and time period. Each event uses a barge
or an on-shore site near the shoreline as
the fireworks launch platform. A safety
zone is used to control vessel movement
within a specified distance surrounding
the launch platforms to ensure the
safety of persons and property. Coast
Guard personnel on scene may allow
boaters within the safety zone if
conditions permit.
The Coast Guard would publish
notices in the Federal Register if an
event sponsor reported a substantive
change to the listed event venue or date.
In the case of inclement weather the
event usually will be conducted on the
day following the date listed in the
Table to § 165.506. Coast Guard
Captains of the Port would give notice
of the enforcement of each safety zone
by all appropriate means to provide the
widest dissemination of notice among
the affected segments of the public. This
would include publication in the Local
Notice to Mariners and Marine
Information Broadcasts. Marine
information and facsimile broadcasts
may also be made for these events,
beginning 24 to 48 hours before the
event. Fireworks barges or launch sites
on land used in the locations stated in
this rulemaking would also display a
sign labeled ‘‘FIREWORKS—DANGER—
STAY AWAY’’. The sign would be
affixed to the port and starboard side of
the barge or mounted on a post 3 feet
above ground level when on land and in
close proximity to the shoreline facing
the water. This sign provides on scene
notice that the safety zone is or will be
enforced on that day. The sign will be
diamond shaped, 4 foot by 4 foot with
a 3-inch orange retro-reflective border.
The word ‘‘DANGER’’ shall be 10-inch
black block letters centered on the sign
with the words ‘‘FIREWORKS’’ and
‘‘STAY AWAY’’ in 6 inch black block
letters placed above and below the word
‘‘DANGER’’ respectively on a white
background. There would also be a
Coast Guard patrol vessel on scene 30
minutes before the display is scheduled
to start until 30 minutes after its
completion to enforce the safety zone.
The enforcement period for these
proposed safety zones is from 5:30 p.m.
to 1 a.m. local time. However, vessels
may enter, remain in, or transit through
these safety zones during this timeframe

if authorized by the Captain of the Port
or designated Coast Guard patrol
personnel on scene, as provided for in
33 CFR 165.23.
This rule is being proposed to provide
for the safety of life on navigable waters
during the events and to give the marine
community the opportunity to comment
on the proposed zone locations, size,
and length of time the zones will be
active.
D. Discussion of Proposed Rule
This proposed rule would apply to
each event listed in the attached tables
to this rule. Events listed in the tables
are events that recur annually in the
Fifth Coast Guard District. The tables
provide the event name and sponsor, as
well as an approximate date and
location of the event.
For each event listed in the table, an
event patrol, with a Patrol Commander
in charge, may be assigned. The Patrol
Commander may 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
would be required to immediately
comply with the directions given.
Failure to do so may result in expulsion
from the area, citation for failure to
comply, or both. 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. Only event sponsors,
designated participants, and official
patrol vessels would be allowed to enter
a regulated area. All persons and vessels
not registered with the event sponsor as
participants or official patrol vessels are
considered spectators. Spectators may
not enter the regulated area and may be
confined to a designated spectator area
to view the event. Spectators may
contact the Coast Guard Patrol
Commander to request permission to
pass through the regulated area. If
permission is granted, spectators would
be required to pass directly through the
regulated area at safe speed and without
loitering.
E. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed rule after
considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking.
Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and
executive orders.
1. Regulatory Planning and Review
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, Improving
PO 00000
Frm 00032
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
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.
We expect the economic impact of
this proposed rule to be so minimal that
a full Regulatory Evaluation is
unnecessary. This finding is based on
the short amount of time that vessels
would be restricted from regulated
areas, and the small size of these areas
that are typically positioned away from
high vessel traffic zones. Vessels would
not be precluded from getting
underway, or mooring at any piers or
marinas currently located in the vicinity
of the proposed regulated areas.
Advance notifications would also be
made to the local maritime community
by issuing Local Notice to Mariners,
Marine information and facsimile
broadcasts so mariners can adjust their
plans accordingly. Notifications to the
public for most events will usually be
made by local newspapers, radio and
TV stations. The Coast Guard
anticipates that these special local
regulated areas and safety zones will
only be enforced 1 to 3 times per year.
2. Impact on Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have considered
the impact of this proposed rule on
small entities. The Coast Guard certifies
under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this proposed
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 and operators of vessels
intending to transit or anchor in the
proposed regulated areas during the
times these zones are enforced.
These proposed regulated areas and
safety zones will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities for the
following reasons: The Coast Guard will
ensure that small entities are able to
operate in the areas where events are
occurring to the extent possible while
ensuring the safety of event participants
and spectators. The enforcement period
will be short in duration and, in many
of the areas, vessels can transit safely
around the regulated area. Generally,
blanket permission to enter, remain in,
or transit through these regulated areas
will be given except during the period
that the Coast Guard patrol vessel is
present. Before the enforcement period,
we will issue maritime advisories
widely.

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 40 / Thursday, February 28, 2013 / Proposed Rules
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.
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 proposed 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. 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.
4. Collection of Information
This proposed 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 proposed 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
INFORMATION 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
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:47 Feb 27, 2013
Jkt 229001
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.
8. 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.
9. 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,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce
burden.
10. Protection of Children From
Environmental Health Risks
We have analyzed this proposed rule
under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from
Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This proposed 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.
11. 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.
12. Energy Effects
This proposed rule is not a
‘‘significant energy action’’ under
Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use.
13581
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and
have made a preliminary determination
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 proposed 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. This
section of the rule is categorically
excluded from further review under
paragraph 34(h) of Figure 2–1 of the
Commandant Instruction. An
environmental analysis checklist
supporting this determination and a
Categorical Exclusion Determination are
not required for this section of the rule.
This proposed rule involves
implementation of regulations at 33 CFR
part 165 that establish safety zones on
navigable waters of the United States for
fireworks events. These safety zones are
enforced for the duration of fireworks
display events. The fireworks are
launched from or immediately adjacent
to navigable waters of the United States.
The category of activities includes
fireworks launched from barges or near
the shoreline that generally rely on the
use of navigable waters as a safety
buffer. This section of the rule is
categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph 34(g) of Figure
2–1 of the Commandant Instruction. A
preliminary 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 proposed rule.

Center (RRTC) Program administered by
the National Institute on Disability and
Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR).
Specifically, this notice proposes a
priority for an RRTC on Community
Living and Participation for Individuals
with Psychiatric Disabilities. The
Assistant Secretary may use this priority
for competitions in fiscal year (FY) 2013
and later years. We take this action to
focus research attention on an area of
national need. We intend the priority to
contribute to improved community
living and participation for individuals
with psychiatric disabilities.
DATES: We must receive your comments
on or before April 1, 2013.
ADDRESSES: Address all comments about
this notice to Marlene Spencer, U.S.

quality and utility of disability and
rehabilitation research; (2) foster an
exchange of expertise, information, and
training methods to facilitate the
advancement of knowledge and
understanding of the unique needs of
traditionally underserved populations;
(3) determine best strategies and
programs to improve rehabilitation
outcomes for underserved populations;
(4) identify research gaps; (5) identify
mechanisms for integrating research and
practice; and (6) disseminate findings.
This notice proposes one priority that
NIDRR intends to use for one or more
competitions in FY 2013 and possibly
later years. However, nothing precludes
NIDRR from publishing additional
priorities, if needed. Furthermore,
NIDRR is under no obligation to make
an award using this priority. The
decision to make an award will be based
on the quality of applications received
and available funding.

Special Local Regulations and Safety Zones; Recurring Marine
Events and Fireworks Displays Within the Fifth Coast Guard District
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to revise the list of special local
regulations and safety zones established for recurring marine events
and fireworks displays at various locations within the geographic
boundary of the Fifth Coast Guard District. This rulemaking proposes to
revise Coast Guard regulations by adding 15 new annual recurring marine
events, fireworks displays and revising event date(s) and coordinates
for 31 previously established locations within the geographic boundary
of the Fifth Coast Guard District. This proposed rule would also delete
21 previously listed marine events, fireworks displays and
corresponding regulated areas that no longer occur. These regulations
would apply to all events listed in the table attached to the
regulation, and include events such as regattas, power boat races,
marine parades, swimming races and fireworks displays. Special local
regulations and safety zones are being proposed 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: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before April 1, 2013.

B. Regulatory History and Information
The special local regulations at 33 CFR 100.501 were amended in the
January 19, 2012, issue of the Federal Register (77 FR 2632). The
purpose of the rulemaking was to revise the TABLE to 33 CFR 100.501 by
adding new annual recurring marine events, modifying event date(s) for
previously established locations within the geographic boundary of the
Fifth Coast Guard District; and delete previously listed marine events
and corresponding regulated areas that no longer occur.
The safety zones at 33 CFR 165.506 were amended in the March 23,
2012, issue of the Federal Register (77 FR 16932). The Coast Guard
revised the list of permanent safety zones in the TABLE to 33 CFR
165.506, for recurring fireworks displays, by adding new locations,
deleting previously established locations and modifying previously
established locations within the geographic boundary of the Fifth Coast
Guard District.
C. Basis and Purpose
The Coast Guard proposes to revise the list of permanent special
local regulations at 33 CFR 100.501 and safety zones at 33 CFR 165.506,
established for recurring marine events and fireworks displays 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.
Special Local Regulations
Under 33 CFR 100.35, the Coast Guard District Commander has
authority to promulgate certain special local regulations deemed
necessary to ensure the safety of life on the navigable waters
immediately before, during, and immediately after an approved regatta
or marine parade. Currently there are 59 special local regulations that
are established and enforced at various periods throughout the year
that are held on an annual basis. This proposed rule will decrease the
total number of special local regulations to 51 locations for marine
events within the boundary of the Fifth Coast Guard District. This
regulation currently includes events such as sailing regattas, power
boat races, swim races, holiday parades, crew and other paddle craft
races. The Coast Guard proposes to revise the list of special local
regulations at 33 CFR 100.501, established for various marine events,
by adding 7 new annual recurring events and revising 13 previously
established locations within the geographic boundary of the Fifth Coast
Guard District. This rule also deletes 15 previously listed marine
events and corresponding regulated areas that are no longer occurring.
The Coast Guard proposes to revise regulations at 33 CFR 100.501 by
adding 7 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.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the past, the Coast Guard regulated marine 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 imposed a significant
administrative burden on the Coast Guard.
Additionally, for the majority of these events, the Coast Guard
does not receive notification of the marine 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 issue temporary final
rules that sometimes are completed only days before the event. This
results in delayed notification to the public, potentially placing the
public and event participants at risk.
This proposed rule would 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, update listed events to
ensure accurate information is provided and remove events that no
longer occur.
Based on the nature of marine events, large number of participants
and spectators, and 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
proposed rule would establish special local regulations for the time
and location of each marine event.
This proposed 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
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.
Safety Zones
Under 33 CFR 165.23, the Coast Guard District Commander has
authority to promulgate certain safety zones deemed necessary to ensure
the safety of life on the navigable waters immediately before, during,
and immediately after an approved fireworks displays. In this rule the
Coast Guard proposes to revise the list of permanent safety zones at 33
CFR 165.506, established for fireworks displays at various locations
within the geographic boundary of the Fifth Coast Guard District. For a
description of the geographical area of the Fifth District and
subordinate Coast Guard Sectors--Captain of the Port Zones, please see
33
[[Page 13579]]
CFR 3.25. Currently there are 74 permanent safety zones established for
fireworks displays within the geographic boundaries of the Fifth Coast
Guard District. This rule will increase the total number of permanent
safety zones to 76 locations for fireworks displays within the boundary
of the Fifth Coast Guard District. The Coast Guard proposes to revise
the list of permanent safety zones at 33 CFR 165.506, established for
fireworks displays, by adding 8 new locations, modifying 18 previously
established locations and deleting 6 previously established locations
within the geographic boundary of the Fifth Coast Guard District
This rule proposes to add 8 new safety zone locations to the
permanent safety zones listed in 33 CFR 165.506. The new safety zones
are listed in the following table, including reference by section as
printed in the Table to Sec. 165.506.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Coast Guard typically receives numerous applications for
fireworks displays in these general areas. Previously, a temporary
safety zone was established on an emergency basis for each display.
This limited the
[[Page 13580]]
opportunity for public comment. Establishing permanent safety zones
through notice and comment rulemaking provides the public the
opportunity to comment on the safety zone locations, size, and length
of time the zones will be enforced.
Each year organizations in the Fifth Coast Guard District sponsor
fireworks displays in the same general location and time period. Each
event uses a barge or an on-shore site near the shoreline as the
fireworks launch platform. A safety zone is used to control vessel
movement within a specified distance surrounding the launch platforms
to ensure the safety of persons and property. Coast Guard personnel on
scene may allow boaters within the safety zone if conditions permit.
The Coast Guard would publish notices in the Federal Register if an
event sponsor reported a substantive change to the listed event venue
or date. In the case of inclement weather the event usually will be
conducted on the day following the date listed in the Table to Sec.
165.506. Coast Guard Captains of the Port would give notice of the
enforcement of each safety zone by all appropriate means to provide the
widest dissemination of notice among the affected segments of the
public. This would include publication in the Local Notice to Mariners
and Marine Information Broadcasts. Marine information and facsimile
broadcasts may also be made for these events, beginning 24 to 48 hours
before the event. Fireworks barges or launch sites on land used in the
locations stated in this rulemaking would also display a sign labeled
``FIREWORKS--DANGER--STAY AWAY''. The sign would be affixed to the port
and starboard side of the barge or mounted on a post 3 feet above
ground level when on land and in close proximity to the shoreline
facing the water. This sign provides on scene notice that the safety
zone is or will be enforced on that day. The sign will be diamond
shaped, 4 foot by 4 foot with a 3-inch orange retro-reflective border.
The word ``DANGER'' shall be 10-inch black block letters centered on
the sign with the words ``FIREWORKS'' and ``STAY AWAY'' in 6 inch black
block letters placed above and below the word ``DANGER'' respectively
on a white background. There would also be a Coast Guard patrol vessel
on scene 30 minutes before the display is scheduled to start until 30
minutes after its completion to enforce the safety zone.
The enforcement period for these proposed safety zones is from 5:30
p.m. to 1 a.m. local time. However, vessels may enter, remain in, or
transit through these safety zones during this timeframe if authorized
by the Captain of the Port or designated Coast Guard patrol personnel
on scene, as provided for in 33 CFR 165.23.
This rule is being proposed to provide for the safety of life on
navigable waters during the events and to give the marine community the
opportunity to comment on the proposed zone locations, size, and length
of time the zones will be active.
D. Discussion of Proposed Rule
This proposed rule would apply to each event listed in the attached
tables to this rule. Events listed in the tables are events that recur
annually in the Fifth Coast Guard District. The tables provide the
event name and sponsor, as well as an approximate date and location of
the event.
For each event listed in the table, an event patrol, with a Patrol
Commander in charge, may be assigned. The Patrol Commander may 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 would be
required to immediately comply with the directions given. Failure to do
so may result in expulsion from the area, citation for failure to
comply, or both. 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.
Only event sponsors, designated participants, and official patrol
vessels would be allowed to enter a regulated area. All persons and
vessels not registered with the event sponsor as participants or
official patrol vessels are considered spectators. Spectators may not
enter the regulated area and may be confined to a designated spectator
area to view the event. Spectators may contact the Coast Guard Patrol
Commander to request permission to pass through the regulated area. If
permission is granted, spectators would be required to pass directly
through the regulated area at safe speed and without loitering.
E. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on a number of these statutes and executive orders.
1. Regulatory Planning and Review
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, 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.
We expect the economic impact of this proposed rule to be so
minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary. This finding
is based on the short amount of time that vessels would be restricted
from regulated areas, and the small size of these areas that are
typically positioned away from high vessel traffic zones. Vessels would
not be precluded from getting underway, or mooring at any piers or
marinas currently located in the vicinity of the proposed regulated
areas. Advance notifications would also be made to the local maritime
community by issuing Local Notice to Mariners, Marine information and
facsimile broadcasts so mariners can adjust their plans accordingly.
Notifications to the public for most events will usually be made by
local newspapers, radio and TV stations. The Coast Guard anticipates
that these special local regulated areas and safety zones will only be
enforced 1 to 3 times per year.
2. Impact on Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered the impact of this proposed rule on small entities. The
Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this proposed 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 and operators of vessels
intending to transit or anchor in the proposed regulated areas during
the times these zones are enforced.
These proposed regulated areas and safety zones will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
for the following reasons: The Coast Guard will ensure that small
entities are able to operate in the areas where events are occurring to
the extent possible while ensuring the safety of event participants and
spectators. The enforcement period will be short in duration and, in
many of the areas, vessels can transit safely around the regulated
area. Generally, blanket permission to enter, remain in, or transit
through these regulated areas will be given except during the period
that the Coast Guard patrol vessel is present. Before the enforcement
period, we will issue maritime advisories widely.
[[Page 13581]]
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.
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 proposed 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. 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.
4. Collection of Information
This proposed 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 proposed 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
INFORMATION 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 proposed rule would not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.
8. 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.
9. 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, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.
10. Protection of Children From Environmental Health Risks
We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This proposed 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.
11. 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.
12. Energy Effects
This proposed rule 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 proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.
14. 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 is one of a
category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human environment.
This proposed 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. This
section of the rule is categorically excluded from further review under
paragraph 34(h) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. An
environmental analysis checklist supporting this determination and a
Categorical Exclusion Determination are not required for this section
of the rule.
This proposed rule involves implementation of regulations at 33 CFR
part 165 that establish safety zones on navigable waters of the United
States for fireworks events. These safety zones are enforced for the
duration of fireworks display events. The fireworks are launched from
or immediately adjacent to navigable waters of the United States. The
category of activities includes fireworks launched from barges or near
the shoreline that generally rely on the use of navigable waters as a
safety buffer. This section of the rule is categorically excluded from
further review under paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant
Instruction. A preliminary 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 proposed rule.
