Safety and Security Zones, San Juan Captain of the Port Zone

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking; notice of meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to modify several aspects of the 
safety and security zones within the Sector San Juan Captain of the 
Port Zone. This action is necessary to consolidate, clarify, and 
otherwise modify safety and security zone regulations to eliminate 
unnecessary regulations and better meet the safety and security needs 
of the Puerto Rico and U. S. Virgin Island port communities. This 
action would modify existing safety zones; consolidate safety and 
security zones currently found in separate regulations into four 
regional regulations; and add and remove safety and security zones. 
Additionally, safety zones governing port closures in the event of a 
natural and other disasters have been added.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast 
Guard on or before September 12, 2013.
    A Public meeting will be held on August 1, 2013 at 9:00 a.m. at 
USCG Sector San Juan.

B. Regulatory History and Information

    Between 1998 and 2009 the USCG has published 11 regulations 
regarding safety and security zones within the Sector San Juan Area of 
Responsibility (AOR). These 11 regulations are currently: 33 CFR 
165.754 Safety Zone: San Juan Harbor, San Juan, PR; 33 CFR 165.755 
Safety Zone; Guayanilla, Puerto Rico; 33 CFR 165.757 Safety Zones; 
Ports of Ponce, Tallaboa, and Guayanilla, Puerto Rico and Limetree Bay, 
St. Croix, U.S.V.I.; 33 CFR 165.758 Security Zone; San Juan, Puerto 
Rico; 33 CFR 165.762 Security Zone; St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; 33 
CFR 165.763 Moving and Fixed Security Zone, Port of Fredericksted, 
Saint Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands; 33 CFR 165.766 Security Zone: HOVENSA 
Refinery, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands; 33 CFR 165.770 Security Zone: 
HOVENSA Refinery, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands; 33 CFR 165.771 Safety 
Zone; Bahia de Ponce, Puerto Rico; 33 CFR 165.776 Security Zone; Coast 
Guard Base San Juan, San Juan Harbor, Puerto Rico; and 33 CFR 165.778 
Security Zone; Port of Mayaguez, Puerto Rico. The regulations as they 
are currently drafted are repetitive, disorganized, and some are 
unnecessary. This regulation change will reorganize the current 
regulations into regional regulations, remove unneeded regulations 
(e.g. a permanent security zone around an oil terminal), add safety 
zone regulations regarding port closures in times of natural and other 
disasters, and safety zones for fireworks displays.

C. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for the rule is the Coast Guard's authority to 
establish regulated navigation areas and limited access areas: 33 
U.S.C. 1226, 1231; 46 U.S.C. Chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191, 
195; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-1, 6.04-6, 160.5; Pub. L. 107-295, 116 Stat. 
2064; Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1.
    The purpose of the regulation is to reorganize the regulations into 
four regional areas, harmonize the regulations within the Sector San 
Juan AOR, remove unnecessary regulations, and add regulations regarding 
port closures in the event of natural and other disasters and safety 
zones for firework barges.

D. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The main change of the regulations is the consolidation of 11 
existing regulations into four regional regulations and a natural and 
other disasters safety zone. The consolidated regulation would be 
published as 33 CFR 165.754 for the North Coast of Puerto Rico; 33 CFR 
165.755 for the South Coast of Puerto Rico; 33 CFR 165.757 for St. 
Thomas; 33 CFR 165.758 for St. Croix; and 33 CFR 165.762 Natural and 
Other Disasters Safety Zone for Sector San Juan COTP Zone.
    Safety and Security Zones; North Coast of Puerto Rico (33 CFR 
165.754) would combine the regulations set forth in the current 33 CFR 
165.754, 33 CFR 165.758, and 33 CFR 165.776. This new regulation would 
not alter the security zone for the Coast Guard Base and cruise ships. 
However, the moving safety zone for Liquefied Hazardous Gas (LHG) would 
be altered from the existing distance of .5 NM to 100 yards to align 
with the rest of the LHG safety zones in the AOR, and also it will add 
a fixed 50 yard safety zone around the vessel at all times while the 
vessel is moored. Additionally, a safety zone for certain vessels and 
firework barges would be added, establishing at all times a safety zone 
around vessels that pose a higher risk of injury to people or property 
without publishing Temporary Final Rules for each individual event, 
which often are done with minimal notice to the public.
    Safety and Security Zones; South Coast of Puerto Rico (33 CFR 
165.755) would combine the regulations set forth in the current 33 CFR 
165.755, 33 CFR 165.778, and the parts of 33 CFR 165.757 that regulate 
Guayanilla, Tallaboa, and Ponce. This new regulation would not alter 
the security zone for cruise ships. The safety zone for LHG while the 
vessel is transiting will remain unaltered, however a fixed 50-yard 
security zone would be added around the vessel at all times while the 
vessel is moored. Additionally, a safety

[[Page 35803]]

zone for certain vessels and firework barges would be added, 
establishing at all times a safety zone around these vessels that pose 
a higher risk of injury to people or property without necessitating 
publication of a Temporary Final Rules for each individual event, which 
often are done with minimal notice to the public.
    Safety and Security Zones; St. Croix, USVI (33 CFR 165.757) would 
combine the regulations set forth in the current 33 CFR 165.763 and the 
parts of 33 CFR 165.757 that regulate Limetree Bay. This new regulation 
would not alter the security zone for cruise ships. The safety zone for 
LHG while the vessel is moving will remain unaltered, however a fixed 
50 yard security zone would be added around the vessel at all times 
while the vessel is moored. Additionally, a safety zone for certain 
vessels and firework barges would be added, establishing at all times a 
safety zone around these vessels that pose a higher risk of injury to 
people or property without necessitating publication of a Temporary 
Final Rule for each individual event, which are often done with minimal 
notice to the public.
    Safety and Security Zones; St. Thomas, USVI (33 CFR 165.758) would 
include the regulations set forth in the current 33 CFR 165.762. This 
new regulation would not alter the security zone for cruise ships. 
However, a safety zone for certain vessels and firework barges would be 
added, establishing at all times a safety zone around these vessels 
that pose a higher risk of injury to people or property without 
necessitating publication of Temporary Final Rules for each individual 
event, which are often done with minimal notice to the public. Three 
safety zones for reoccurring firework displays will be added to this 
regulation.
    Safety Zone; Sector San Juan COTP Zone Natural and Other Disasters 
Port Closure (33 CFR 165.762) would be added to provide the legal 
jurisdiction to close a ports affected by natural and other disasters. 
In the past, temporary regulations regarding port closures have been 
published after natural and other disasters; however, publishing this 
notice in a permanent regulation provides better advance notice to the 
public regarding when port closures should be expected to occur, and 
would only require publication of a Notice of Enforcement during the 
storm itself, increasing efficiency and reducing the workload to the 
Coast Guard. There will be no change in the manner in which the public 
is notified by the Coast Guard of a port closure.
    Disestablishment of the following regulations: the current 33 CFR 
165.766 and 33 CFR 165.770. Both of these regulations are for the 
permanent security zone around HOVENSA refinery; however, this facility 
is no longer operating as a refinery and is now only an oil terminal. 
Even if the refinery were to become operational again, disestablishment 
of the security zone would not stop the refinery from becoming 
operational again. Similarly, the disestablishment of the current 33 
CFR 165.771, the regulation for a safety zone around an LNG vessel 
transiting into Ponce, PR is unnecessary. This regulation is not needed 
as only two LNG vessels have entered Ponce, PR in recent history. Also, 
the proposed regulations concerning ``certain vessels'' will allow for 
the establishment of a safety zone if LNG vessels frequent Ponce, PR in 
the future.

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. This regulation is not 
significant regulatory action because most of the proposed regulations 
already exist in some form; such as natural and other disasters safety 
zones as a temporary final rule for each individual natural or other 
disasters, security zones around cruise ships, safety zones around LHG 
vessels, and firework safety zones. The regulations that are being 
added are not expected to have a significant regulatory action due to 
the infrequency of use for the new moving safety zones around certain 
vessels. The addition of the safety zone regarding moored LHG vessels 
should not have a significant effect because it is not anticipated to 
impede any other commercial traffic. The removal of the LHG safety zone 
for Ponce would have no effect as it has not been used since it was 
published.

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.
    These safety and security zones would not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities for the 
reasons discussed in the Regulatory Evaluation section above.
    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

[[Page 35804]]

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 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 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 proposed rule involves amending, 
reorganization, and republication of existing safety and security zones 
around specific vessels of less than a week in duration and the 
addition of port closures that would be otherwise published as TFR. 
This rule will be 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 will be available in the docket 
where indicated under ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or information 
that may lead to the discovery of a significant environmental impact 
from this rule.

surrounding all LHG vessels while the vessel is moored or anchored with 
product aboard or is transferring LHG within the waters of Port of San 
Juan, Puerto Rico.
    (2) Security Zone around Cruise Ships.
    (i) All waters of the Atlantic Ocean within a 50-yard radius 
surrounding all cruise ships while transiting south of Latitude 
18[deg]29.5' N on approach to or departing from Port of San Juan, 
Puerto Rico. The safety zone remains in effect until the cruise ship is 
moored or anchored.
    (ii) All waters of San Juan Harbor within a 50-yard radius 
surrounding all cruise ships while the vessel is moored or anchored 
within the Port of San Juan, Puerto Rico.
    (3) Safety Zone around Certain vessels.
    (i) All waters of the Atlantic Ocean within a 100-yard radius 
surrounding certain vessel while transiting within 1 NM from the port 
entrance on approach to or departing from the Ports of Fajardo, San 
Juan, or Arecibo, Puerto Rico. The safety zone remains in effect until 
the vessel is moored or anchored.
    (ii) All waters within a 100 yard radius surrounding certain vessel 
while the vessel is moored or anchored within the waters of Ports of 
Fajardo, San Juan, or Arecibo, Puerto Rico.
    (4) Security Zone around Coast Guard Base San Juan. All waters of 
San Juan Harbor encompassed by an imaginary line connecting the 
following points: starting at Point 1 in position 18[deg]27.65' N, 
066[deg]06.93' W; thence east to Point 2 in position 18[deg]27.65' N,

Coast Guard realizes that some large scale events, such as those with 
many participants or spectators, or those that could severely

[[Page 35805]]

restrict navigation or pose a significant hazard, may still require 
separate special local regulations or safety zones that address the 
specific peculiarities of the event. In those situations, the Coast 
Guard will create special local regulations or safety zones 
specifically for the event, and those regulations will supersede the 
proposed regulations in this rule.
    (b) Regulations. (1) Under general regulations in Sec.  165.33 of 
this part, entering, anchoring, mooring or transiting in these zones is 
prohibited unless authorized by the Coast Guard Captain of the Port of

contact the Captain of the Port at the Sector San Juan at (787) 289-
2041 or via VHF radio on Channel 16 to seek permission to transit the 
area. If permission is granted, all persons and vessels must comply 
with the instructions of the Captain of the Port or his designated 
representative.
    (3) Coast Guard Sector San Juan will attempt to notify the maritime 
community of periods during which these safety and security zones will 
be in effect by providing advance notice of scheduled arrivals and 
departures of vessels via a broadcast notice to mariners.
    (c) Definitions.
    (1) Cruise ship. For the purposes of this section, Cruise ship 
means a passenger vessel greater than 100 feet in length that is

Juan for safety reasons. In making this determination, the Captain of 
the Port considers all relevant safety factors, including but not 
limited to the presence of unusually harmful or hazardous substances 
and the risk to population or infrastructure.
    (3) Designated representative. For the purposes of this section, 
designated representative means Coast Guard Patrol Commanders including 
Coast Guard coxswains, petty officers and other officers operating 
Coast Guard vessels and federal, state, and local officers designated 
by or assisting the Captain of the Port San Juan in the enforcement of 
the security zone.
    (4) Vessel. For the purposes of this section, vessel means every 
description of watercraft or other artificial contrivance used, or

Sec.  165.755  Safety and Security Zones; South Coast of Puerto Rico

    (a) Location. All coordinates referenced use datum: NAD 83. The 
following areas are established as a safety zones during the specified 
conditions:
    (1) Safety Zone around Liquefied Hazardous Gas (LHG) Vessels.
    (i) Port of Tallaboa, Puerto Rico. (A) All waters of the Caribbean 
Sea within a 100 yard radius surrounding all LHG vessels with product 
aboard while transiting north of Latitude 17[deg]56.0' N on approach to
