DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND
SECURITY
PART 892—RADIOLOGY DEVICES
The Coast Guard proposes to
add, delete, and modify safety zones
and special local regulations and add
language to clarify time frames and
notification requirements for annual
marine events in the Sector Long Island
Sound Captain of the Port (COTP) Zone.
When these regulated areas are activated
and subject to enforcement, this rule
would restrict vessels from portions of
water areas during these recurring
events. The safety zones and special
local regulations will facilitate public
notification of events and provide
protective measures for the maritime
public and event participants from the
hazards associated with these recurring
events.
DATES: Comments and related material
must be received by the Coast Guard on
or before May 6, 2013.
Requests for public meetings must be
received by the Coast Guard on or before
April 25, 2013.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments

B. Regulatory History and Information
The Coast Guard promulgated safety
zones and special local regulations for
most of these events in the past and
received no public comments. The most
recently promulgated rulemaking was
on April 4, 2012 when the Coast Guard
published a notice of proposed
rulemaking entitled, (NPRM) Special
Local Regulation and Safety Zones;
Marine Events in Captain of the Port
Sector Long Island Sound Zone in the
Federal Register (77 FR 20324). A final
rule was published on July 5, 2012,
entitled, ‘‘Special Local Regulation and
Safety Zones; Marine Events in Captain
of the Port Sector Long Island Sound
Zone’’ in the Federal Register (77 FR
39633).
C. Basis and Purpose
The legal basis for the proposed rule
is 33 U.S.C. 1231, 1233; 46 U.S.C.

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 regulation proposes to: (1)
Establish new marine event regulated
areas, (2) remove old safety zones that
are no longer needed, (3) modify and
update some existing regulated areas
and (4) clarify event time frames and
marine event application requirements.
This will account for new events,
remove events that are no longer held,
and to account for modifications to
several of the recurring marine events
that have occurred since last year.
D. Discussion of Proposed Rule
The Coast Guard proposes to revise
sections 33 CFR 165.151 ‘‘Safety Zones;
Fireworks Displays, Air Shows and
Swim Events in the Captain of the Port
Long Island Sound Zone’’ and 33 CFR
100.100 ‘‘Special Local Regulations;
Regattas and Boat Races in the Coast
Guard Sector Long Island Sound
Captain of the Port Zone.’’ By
establishing 41 permanent marine
events regulated areas, removing four,
modifying one marine event safety zone
and adding language to clarify event
time frames and marine event
application requirements. By proposing
these permanent regulation updates, we
are providing the public with an
opportunity to comment on these
changes. This rulemaking limits the
unnecessary burden of continually
establishing temporary rules every year
for events that occur on an annual basis.
(1) Establishing New Marine Event
Regulated Areas
This rule proposes to establish 39
permanent marine event safety zones
under 33 CFR 165.151 and two
permanent marine events special local
regulations under 33 CFR 100.100.
These events include fireworks
displays, swimming events, and regattas
that take place throughout the Long
Island Sound Captain of the Port Zone.
Event locations and details are listed
below in the text of the regulation.
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 large numbers of
swimmers, hard to see and unstable
small boats, unexpected pyrotechnics
detonation, and burning debris. This
rule would permanently establish
regulated areas that restrict vessel
PO 00000
Frm 00011
Fmt 4702

movement around the location of each
marine event to reduce the safety risks
associated with them.
During the enforcement period of the
regulated areas, persons and vessels
would be prohibited from entering,
transiting through, remaining, anchoring
or mooring within the regulated area
unless specifically authorized by the
COTP or the designated representative.
Persons and vessels would be able to
request authorization to enter, transit
through, remain, anchor or moor within
the regulated areas by contacting the
COTP Sector Long Island Sound by
telephone at (203) 468–4401, or
designated representative via VHF radio
on channel 16. If authorization to enter,
transit through, remain, anchor, or moor
within any of the regulated areas is
granted, all persons and vessels
receiving authorization would be
required to comply with the instructions
of the COTP or designated
representative.
The Coast Guard COTP Sector Long
Island Sound or designated
representatives would enforce the
regulated areas. These designated
representatives are comprised of
commissioned, warrant, and petty
officers of the Coast Guard. The Coast
Guard may be assisted by other federal,
state and local agencies in the
enforcement of these regulated areas.
To aid the public in identifying the
launch platforms; fireworks barges used
for these displays will have a sign on
their port and starboard side labeled
‘‘FIREWORKS—STAY AWAY.’’ This
sign will consist of 10 inch high by 1.5
inch wide red lettering on a white
background. Shore launch sites will
display a sign labeled ‘‘FIREWORKS—
STAY AWAY’’ with the same
dimensions.
Certain safety zones and special local
regulations are listed without known
dates or times. Coast Guard Sector Long
Island Sound will cause notice of the
enforcement of these regulated areas to
be made by all appropriate means to
affect the widest publicity among the
effected segments of the public,
including publication in the Federal
Register as a Notice of Enforcement,
Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast
Notice to Mariners.
(2) Remove Old Safety Zones That Are
No Longer Needed
This rule proposes to remove four
safety zones from TABLE 1 to § 165.151.
Events 7.18 Hartford Riverfest Fireworks
and 7.32 Thames River Fireworks will
be removed because they are redundant.
The Riverfest Fireworks and
Mashantucket Pequot Fireworks events
are permanent events under TABLE 1 to
E:\FR\FM\04APP1.SGM
04APP1
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 65 / Thursday, April 4, 2013 / Proposed Rules
§ 165.151 and provide safety zones for
the same events making 7.18 and 7.32
unnecessary. Events 8.1 Pyro-FX
Entertainment Group Fireworks and 8.2
Port Washington Sons of Italy Fireworks
will be removed because the events
have not taken place in several years
and are no longer needed.

(3) Modify and Update Existing
Regulated Areas
Event 5.1 Jones Beach Air Show
would be modified to expand the event
area by moving the current western
boundary a half mile further to the west
and the south west corner one mile
further south. This is being proposed
because one of the events aerial
performing groups ‘‘The Blue Angels’’
has requested a larger area within which
to perform their aerial acrobatics. This
larger area would expand the area
vessels are prohibited from entering,
transiting through, remaining, anchoring
or mooring within and provide ‘‘The
Blue Angels’’ a larger area to perform
their aerial acrobatics while minimizing
risks to the maritime community.
(4) Clarifying Event Time Frames and
Marine Event Application Requirements
The Coast Guard proposes to add new
language to both 33 CFR 100.100 and 33
CFR 165.151. First we propose stating
that sponsors for each marine event
listed in the tables must submit a
marine event application 60 days prior
to the proposed event date. This
language does not create or change the
submission requirements, it simply
restates the requirements of 33 CFR
100.15 making it easier for sponsors to
locate by placing it with the other event
requirements. We are proposing this
language because there has been some
confusion about how early a sponsor
must submit a marine event application,
the goal of this language is to eliminate
that confusion.
Secondly, we propose each event
listed in the table without a date must
take place during the month it is listed
under. We are proposing this to give
sponsors and the public a known date
range that the event must take place
within. Currently, events are listed
under a specific month such as ‘‘June’’
or ‘‘August’’ and the expectation is that
the sponsor will hold the event during
the month it is listed. However, this has
never been a written standard. Adding
this language provides the sponsors and
public a written standard and a chance
to comment on it. We propose one
exception to these date limits, any safety
zone listed in 33 CFR 165.151 under the
month of July may take place during
July or up to seven days prior to July.
We are proposing this exception to
VerDate Mar<15>2010
14:46 Apr 03, 2013
Jkt 229001
account for events that are listed under
the month of July and are proposed to
closely coincide with or specifically
avoid Fourth of July celebrations.
Accordingly, many of these events are
planned to be held the weekend before
the Fourth of July. However, due to the
annual variations concerning the day of
the week on which the holiday falls,
scheduling the event for the preceding
weekend may result in the event being
held in the last week of June in some
years and in July in other years.
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 or
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 minimal.
Although this regulation may have some
impact on the public, the potential
impact will be minimized for the
following reasons: The Coast Guard has
previously promulgated regulated areas
in accordance with 33 CFR parts 165,
for most event areas contained within
this proposed regulation and has not
received notice of any negative impact
caused by any of the regulated areas.
Vessels will only be restricted from
regulated areas for a short duration of
time. Vessels may transit in portions of
the affected waterway except for those
areas covered by the proposed regulated
areas. Notifications of exact dates and
times of the enforcement period will be
made to the local maritime community
through all appropriate means,
including but not limited to the Local
Notice to Mariners, Broadcast Notice to
Mariners or through a Notice of
Enforcement in the Federal Register. No
new or additional restrictions would be
imposed on vessel traffic.
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
PO 00000
Frm 00012
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
20279
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 proposed
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 a
designated regulated area during an
enforcement period.
The regulated areas 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; vessels that can safely do so
may navigate in all other portions of the
waterways except for the areas
designated as regulated areas; most of
these regulated areas have been
promulgated in the past with no public
comments submitted. Additionally,
before the effective period, the Coast
Guard will issue notice of the time and
location of each regulated area through
all appropriate means including but not
limited to Local Notice to Mariners or
Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
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
E:\FR\FM\04APP1.SGM
04APP1
20280
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 65 / Thursday, April 4, 2013 / Proposed Rules
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.
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.
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.
12. Energy Effects
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.
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 the establishment of safety
zones and special local regulations. This
rule may be categorically excluded from
further review under paragraph
34(g)&(h) of Figure 2–1 of the
Commandant Instruction. A preliminary
environmental analysis checklist
supporting this determination is
available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES. We seek any
comments or information that may lead
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 rule is not an economically

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background and Purpose
On March 22, 2013, the Coast Guard
published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal
Register (78 FR 17781), in which we
proposed to require owners and
operators of certain vessels and facilities
regulated by the Coast Guard to use
electronic readers designed to work
with the Transportation Worker
Identification Credential (TWIC) as an
access control measure. The NPRM also
proposed additional requirements
associated with electronic TWIC
readers, including recordkeeping
requirements for those owners and
operators required to use an electronic
TWIC reader, and security plan
amendments to incorporate TWIC
reader requirements. The TWIC
program, including the TWIC reader
requirements proposed in the NPRM, is
an important component of the Coast
Guard’s multi-layered system of access
control requirements and other
measures designed to enhance maritime
security.

As authorized by the Maritime
Transportation Security Act of 2002 1
(MTSA), the Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) established the
TWIC program to address identity
management shortcomings and
vulnerabilities identified in the nation’s
transportation system and to comply
with the MTSA statutory requirements.
On January 25, 2007, the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS), through the
Coast Guard and TSA, promulgated
regulations that require mariners and
other individuals granted unescorted
access to secure areas of MTSAregulated vessels or facilities to undergo
a security threat assessment by TSA and
obtain a TWIC.2
This NPRM that is the subject of this
public meeting, which would require
owners and operators of certain types of
vessels and facilities to use electronic
TWIC readers, would advance the goals
of the TWIC program. In crafting the
proposals in the NPRM, the Coast Guard
conducted a risk-based analysis of
MTSA-regulated vessels and facilities to
categorize them into one of three risk
groups, labeled A, B, and C. Risk Group
A is comprised of vessels and facilities
that present the highest risk of being
involved in a transportation security
incident (TSI).3 The NPRM proposes
TWIC reader requirements for vessels
and facilities in Risk Group A. Under
the NPRM, vessels and facilities in Risk
Groups B and C present progressively
lower risks, and would continue to
follow existing regulatory requirements
for visual TWIC inspection.
The Coast Guard believes that in
addition to receiving written comments
on the NPRM, a public meeting would
benefit the impacted community by
providing another forum to raise
relevant issues. Also, the Security and
Accountability For Every (SAFE) Port
Act of 2006 4 requires the Coast Guard
to hold at least one public hearing
before promulgating final TWIC reader
regulations (see 46 U.S.C. 70105(k)(3)).
This public meeting will further enable
the Coast Guard to craft policy informed
by the public.
We may hold one or more additional
public meetings regarding the proposals
1 Public Law 107–295, 116 Stat. 2064 (Nov. 2,
2002).
2 Transportation Worker Identification Credential
(TWIC) Implementation in the Maritime Sector;
Hazardous Materials Endorsement for a Commercial

3 A transportation security incident is a security
incident resulting in a significant loss of life,
environmental damage, transportation system
disruption, or economic disruption in a particular
area, as defined in 46 U.S.C. 70101 (49 CFR
1572.103).

Safety Zones & Special Local Regulations; Recurring Marine Events
in Captain of the Port Long Island Sound Zone
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to add, delete, and modify safety
zones and special local regulations and add language to clarify time
frames and notification requirements for annual marine events in the
Sector Long Island Sound Captain of the Port (COTP) Zone. When these
regulated areas are activated and subject to enforcement, this rule
would restrict vessels from portions of water areas during these
recurring events. The safety zones and special local regulations will
facilitate public notification of events and provide protective
measures for the maritime public and event participants from the
hazards associated with these recurring events.
DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before May 6, 2013.

B. Regulatory History and Information
The Coast Guard promulgated safety zones and special local
regulations for most of these events in the past and received no public
comments. The most recently promulgated rulemaking was on April 4, 2012
when the Coast Guard published a notice of proposed rulemaking
entitled, (NPRM) Special Local Regulation and Safety Zones; Marine
Events in Captain of the Port Sector Long Island Sound Zone in the
Federal Register (77 FR 20324). A final rule was published on July 5,
2012, entitled, ``Special Local Regulation and Safety Zones; Marine
Events in Captain of the Port Sector Long Island Sound Zone'' in the
Federal Register (77 FR 39633).
C. Basis and Purpose
The legal basis for the proposed rule is 33 U.S.C. 1231, 1233; 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 regulation proposes to: (1) Establish new marine event
regulated areas, (2) remove old safety zones that are no longer needed,
(3) modify and update some existing regulated areas and (4) clarify
event time frames and marine event application requirements. This will
account for new events, remove events that are no longer held, and to
account for modifications to several of the recurring marine events
that have occurred since last year.
D. Discussion of Proposed Rule
The Coast Guard proposes to revise sections 33 CFR 165.151 ``Safety
Zones; Fireworks Displays, Air Shows and Swim Events in the Captain of
the Port Long Island Sound Zone'' and 33 CFR 100.100 ``Special Local
Regulations; Regattas and Boat Races in the Coast Guard Sector Long
Island Sound Captain of the Port Zone.'' By establishing 41 permanent
marine events regulated areas, removing four, modifying one marine
event safety zone and adding language to clarify event time frames and
marine event application requirements. By proposing these permanent
regulation updates, we are providing the public with an opportunity to
comment on these changes. This rulemaking limits the unnecessary burden
of continually establishing temporary rules every year for events that
occur on an annual basis.
(1) Establishing New Marine Event Regulated Areas
This rule proposes to establish 39 permanent marine event safety
zones under 33 CFR 165.151 and two permanent marine events special
local regulations under 33 CFR 100.100. These events include fireworks
displays, swimming events, and regattas that take place throughout the
Long Island Sound Captain of the Port Zone. Event locations and details
are listed below in the text of the regulation. 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 large numbers of swimmers, hard to see and unstable small
boats, unexpected pyrotechnics detonation, and burning debris. This
rule would permanently establish regulated areas that restrict vessel
movement around the location of each marine event to reduce the safety
risks associated with them.
During the enforcement period of the regulated areas, persons and
vessels would be prohibited from entering, transiting through,
remaining, anchoring or mooring within the regulated area unless
specifically authorized by the COTP or the designated representative.
Persons and vessels would be able to request authorization to enter,
transit through, remain, anchor or moor within the regulated areas by
contacting the COTP Sector Long Island Sound by telephone at (203) 468-
4401, or designated representative via VHF radio on channel 16. If
authorization to enter, transit through, remain, anchor, or moor within
any of the regulated areas is granted, all persons and vessels
receiving authorization would be required to comply with the
instructions of the COTP or designated representative.
The Coast Guard COTP Sector Long Island Sound or designated
representatives would enforce the regulated areas. These designated
representatives are comprised of commissioned, warrant, and petty
officers of the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard may be assisted by other
federal, state and local agencies in the enforcement of these regulated
areas.
To aid the public in identifying the launch platforms; fireworks
barges used for these displays will have a sign on their port and
starboard side labeled ``FIREWORKS--STAY AWAY.'' This sign will consist
of 10 inch high by 1.5 inch wide red lettering on a white background.
Shore launch sites will display a sign labeled ``FIREWORKS--STAY AWAY''
with the same dimensions.
Certain safety zones and special local regulations are listed
without known dates or times. Coast Guard Sector Long Island Sound will
cause notice of the enforcement of these regulated areas to be made by
all appropriate means to affect the widest publicity among the effected
segments of the public, including publication in the Federal Register
as a Notice of Enforcement, Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast
Notice to Mariners.
(2) Remove Old Safety Zones That Are No Longer Needed
This rule proposes to remove four safety zones from TABLE 1 to
Sec. 165.151. Events 7.18 Hartford Riverfest Fireworks and 7.32 Thames
River Fireworks will be removed because they are redundant. The
Riverfest Fireworks and Mashantucket Pequot Fireworks events are
permanent events under TABLE 1 to
[[Page 20279]]
Sec. 165.151 and provide safety zones for the same events making 7.18
and 7.32 unnecessary. Events 8.1 Pyro-FX Entertainment Group Fireworks
and 8.2 Port Washington Sons of Italy Fireworks will be removed because
the events have not taken place in several years and are no longer
needed.
(3) Modify and Update Existing Regulated Areas
Event 5.1 Jones Beach Air Show would be modified to expand the
event area by moving the current western boundary a half mile further
to the west and the south west corner one mile further south. This is
being proposed because one of the events aerial performing groups ``The
Blue Angels'' has requested a larger area within which to perform their
aerial acrobatics. This larger area would expand the area vessels are
prohibited from entering, transiting through, remaining, anchoring or
mooring within and provide ``The Blue Angels'' a larger area to perform
their aerial acrobatics while minimizing risks to the maritime
community.
(4) Clarifying Event Time Frames and Marine Event Application
Requirements
The Coast Guard proposes to add new language to both 33 CFR 100.100
and 33 CFR 165.151. First we propose stating that sponsors for each
marine event listed in the tables must submit a marine event
application 60 days prior to the proposed event date. This language
does not create or change the submission requirements, it simply
restates the requirements of 33 CFR 100.15 making it easier for
sponsors to locate by placing it with the other event requirements. We
are proposing this language because there has been some confusion about
how early a sponsor must submit a marine event application, the goal of
this language is to eliminate that confusion.
Secondly, we propose each event listed in the table without a date
must take place during the month it is listed under. We are proposing
this to give sponsors and the public a known date range that the event
must take place within. Currently, events are listed under a specific
month such as ``June'' or ``August'' and the expectation is that the
sponsor will hold the event during the month it is listed. However,
this has never been a written standard. Adding this language provides
the sponsors and public a written standard and a chance to comment on
it. We propose one exception to these date limits, any safety zone
listed in 33 CFR 165.151 under the month of July may take place during
July or up to seven days prior to July. We are proposing this exception
to account for events that are listed under the month of July and are
proposed to closely coincide with or specifically avoid Fourth of July
celebrations. Accordingly, many of these events are planned to be held
the weekend before the Fourth of July. However, due to the annual
variations concerning the day of the week on which the holiday falls,
scheduling the event for the preceding weekend may result in the event
being held in the last week of June in some years and in July in other
years.
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 or 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 minimal.
Although this regulation may have some impact on the public, the
potential impact will be minimized for the following reasons: The Coast
Guard has previously promulgated regulated areas in accordance with 33
CFR parts 165, for most event areas contained within this proposed
regulation and has not received notice of any negative impact caused by
any of the regulated areas.
Vessels will only be restricted from regulated areas for a short
duration of time. Vessels may transit in portions of the affected
waterway except for those areas covered by the proposed regulated
areas. Notifications of exact dates and times of the enforcement period
will be made to the local maritime community through all appropriate
means, including but not limited to the Local Notice to Mariners,
Broadcast Notice to Mariners or through a Notice of Enforcement in the
Federal Register. No new or additional restrictions would be imposed on
vessel traffic.
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 proposed 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 a designated regulated area
during an enforcement period.
The regulated areas 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; vessels
that can safely do so may navigate in all other portions of the
waterways except for the areas designated as regulated areas; most of
these regulated areas have been promulgated in the past with no public
comments submitted. Additionally, before the effective period, the
Coast Guard will issue notice of the time and location of each
regulated area through all appropriate means including but not limited
to Local Notice to Mariners or Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
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
[[Page 20280]]
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 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 the establishment of safety zones and special local
regulations. This rule may be categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph 34(g)&(h) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant
Instruction. A preliminary environmental analysis checklist supporting
this determination is 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.
