through, mooring or anchoring within
these zones is prohibited unless
authorized by the COTP Sector Northern
New England.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Jkt 229001
A. Regulatory History and Information
On March 22, 2013, the Coast Guard
provided the public with notice and an
opportunity to comment when it
published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) titled, ‘‘Special
Local Regulations and Safety Zones;
Recurring Events in Northern New
England,’’ in the Federal Register. (78
FR 17613). The comment period ended
on May 21, 2013, with no comments.
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. There is insufficient time to
undergo a 30 day delayed effective date
and thus it is impracticable. Any delay
encountered in this regulation’s
effective date would also 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, high
speed power boat races, and large
gatherings of swimmers in the
waterway.
B. Basis and Purpose
The legal basis for this temporary 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 and
regulated areas.
This rulemaking establishes special
local regulations for power boat races
and marine parades and safety zones for
marine events involving fireworks
displays and swim events on the
PO 00000
Frm 00021
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
34887
navigable waters of the COTP Sector
NNE Zone. This rule is necessary to
protect waterway users from the dangers
inherent to these activities.
C. Discussion of the Final Rule
This temporary rule establishes
special local regulations and safety
zones for eighteen events in the COTP
Sector NNE Zone. Specific event names,
locations, dates and times are listed
below in the regulation text.
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 vessels operating at high
speeds and 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 these statutes and 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

11JNR1
34888
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 112 / Tuesday, June 11, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
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.
wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
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 term
‘‘small entities’’ comprises small
businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and
operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions
with populations of less than 50,000.
The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C.
605(b) that this rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
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 special local
regulations and 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
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:08 Jun 10, 2013
Jkt 229001
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
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 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
PO 00000
Frm 00022
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Norfolk Southern Corporation, who
owns and operates this drawbridge, has
requested a temporary deviation from
the current operating regulations set out
in 33 CFR 117.5 to facilitate thermite
welding on the rails.
Under the regular operating schedule,
the Norfolk Southern #5 Railroad
Bridge, mile 1.1, in Norfolk, VA, the
draw must open promptly and fully for
the passage of vessels when a request or
signal to open is given. The draw
normally is open and only closes for
train crossings or periodic maintenance.
The Norfolk Southern #5 Railroad
Bridge, at mile 1.1, across the Elizabeth
River (Eastern Branch) in Norfolk, VA,
has a vertical clearance in the closed
position to vessels of 6 feet above mean
high water.
Under this temporary deviation, the
drawbridge will be maintained in the
closed to navigation position from 11
a.m. to 1 p.m. on July 8, 9, 10, 15 and
16, 2013 the bridge will operate under
normal operating schedule at all other
times. The bridge normally operates in
the open position with several vessels
transiting a week and only closes when
trains transit. Emergency openings
cannot be provided. There are no
alternate routes for vessels transiting
this section of the Elizabeth River
Eastern Branch but vessels may pass
before 11 a.m. and after 1 p.m.
The Elizabeth River Eastern Branch is
used by a variety of vessels including
military, tugs, commercial, and
recreational vessels. The Coast Guard
has carefully coordinated the
restrictions with these waterway users.
The Coast Guard will also inform
additional waterway users through our
Local and Broadcast Notice to Mariners
of the closure periods for the bridge so
that vessels can arrange their transits to
minimize any impacts caused by the
PO 00000

temporary deviation. Mariners able to
pass under the bridge in the closed
position may do so at any time and are
advised to proceed with caution.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the drawbridge must return to its regular
operating schedule immediately at the
end of the designated time period.
This deviation from the operating
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR
117.35.
Dated: May 30, 2013.

COTP Captain of the Port
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
LIS Long Island Sound
NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
A. Regulatory History and Information
On March 22, 2013, the Coast Guard provided the public with notice
and an opportunity to comment when it published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) titled, ``Special Local Regulations and Safety Zones;
Recurring Events in Northern New England,'' in the Federal Register.
(78 FR 17613). The comment period ended on May 21, 2013, with no
comments.
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. There is insufficient time to
undergo a 30 day delayed effective date and thus it is impracticable.
Any delay encountered in this regulation's effective date would also 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, high speed power boat races, and large
gatherings of swimmers in the waterway.
B. Basis and Purpose
The legal basis for this temporary 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 and regulated areas.
This rulemaking establishes special local regulations for power
boat races and marine parades and safety zones for marine events
involving fireworks displays and swim events on the navigable waters of
the COTP Sector NNE Zone. This rule is necessary to protect waterway
users from the dangers inherent to these activities.
C. Discussion of the Final Rule
This temporary rule establishes special local regulations and
safety zones for eighteen events in the COTP Sector NNE Zone. Specific
event names, locations, dates and times are listed below in the
regulation text.
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 vessels operating at high speeds and
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 these statutes and 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
[[Page 34888]]
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 term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
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 special local regulations and 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
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 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.
