I. Background
In the Federal Register of August 19,
2013 (78 FR 50358), we published a
notice of intent entitled ‘‘Notice of
Intent to Prepare an Environmental
Impact Statement for the Proposed Rule:
Standards for Growing, Harvesting,
Packing, and Holding of Produce for
Human Consumption’’ with a comment
period extending through November 15,
2013, to announce the beginning of the
scoping process. We solicited public
comments and requested public input to
identify issues to be analyzed in an EIS.
The purpose of the public scoping
process for the EIS is to determine
relevant issues that will influence the
scope of the environmental analysis,
including potential alternatives, and the
extent to which those issues and
impacts will be analyzed in the EIS.
Federal, State, and local agencies, along
with tribes and other stakeholders that
may be interested in or affected by the
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:23 Nov 15, 2013
Jkt 232001
produce safety rule are invited to
participate in the scoping process. FDA
has previously sought comment on
potential environmental effects as part
of the public comment period for the
proposed rule, including specific
questions regarding agricultural water,
biological soil amendments of animal
origin, and wildlife (78 FR 3504 at 3616,
3619–3620; January 16, 2013). FDA
believes that these questions are still
relevant to the environmental analysis
and will consider comments received.
FDA is granting an extension of the
public scoping period to allow the
public additional time to provide
comment and for FDA to hold, as
appropriate, one or more public scoping
meetings during this time period. As
part of the scoping process, the Agency
will determine the range of actions,
alternatives, and impacts to be
considered in the EIS. This notice does
not extend the comment period on the
produce safety proposed rule published
on January 16, 2013 (78 FR 3504). As
previously announced (78 FR 48637,
August 9, 2013), the comment period on
the produce safety proposed rule closes
on November 15, 2013.
II. Request for Comments
Interested persons may submit either
electronic comments regarding the
issues to be included in the EIS for the
proposed rule to https://
www.regulations.gov or written
comments to the Division of Dockets
Management (see ADDRESSES). It is only
necessary to send one set of comments.
Identify comments with the docket
number found in brackets in the
heading of this document. Received
comments may be seen in the Division
of Dockets Management between 9 a.m.
and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, and
will be posted to the docket at https://

Special Local Regulations; Eleventh
Coast Guard District Annual Marine
Events
Coast Guard, DHS.
Notice of proposed rulemaking.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard proposes to
update the list of marine events that
occur annually within the Eleventh
Coast Guard District. These updates
include adding specific marine events to
the list of marine events held annually
in the Eleventh Coast Guard District as
well as removing marine events that no
longer occur. In addition to updating the
list of marine events held annually in
the Eleventh Coast Guard District, the
Coast Guard proposes to amend the
special local regulations by
standardizing the language and format
of listed events. When these special
local regulations are activated, and thus
subject to enforcement, this proposed
rule would restrict vessels from
transiting inside the regulated area.
DATES: Comments and related material
must be received by the Coast Guard on
or before December 18, 2013. Requests
for public meetings must be received by
the Coast Guard on or before December
2, 2013.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments

B. Basis and Purpose
The Coast Guard is conducting this
rulemaking under the authority of 33
U.S.C. 1233.
Specific marine events are annually
held on a recurring basis on the
navigable waters within the Eleventh
Coast Guard District and require special
local regulations to keep spectators and
vessels a safe distance away from the
vessels and individuals that are
participating in the specified events.
These events include sailing regattas,
powerboat races, rowboat races,
parades, and swim events. Some of
these marine events are not currently
listed in 33 CFR 100 sections 1101, 1102
and 1104 or many of the annual events
that are listed in these sections do not
correctly reflect the date or approximate
date of the event or do not correctly
identify other important information
specific to the event.
The effect of these proposed special
local regulations will be to restrict
general navigation in the vicinity of the
events, from the start of each event until
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
the conclusion of that event. Except for
persons or vessels authorized by the
Coast Guard Patrol Commander, no
person or vessel may enter or remain in
the regulated area. These regulations are
needed to keep spectators and vessels a
safe distance away from the specified
events to help ensure the safety of
participants, spectators, and transiting
vessels.
C. Discussion of Proposed Rule
The Coast Guard proposes to revise 33
CFR 100.1101, Southern California
annual marine events for the San Diego
Captain of the Port zone, by adding 12
new events and updating 1 event with
correct verbiage. The 12 new events in
this section are as follows: ‘‘ITU World
Triathlon’’ occurring late April or early
May at Bonita Cove and Ventura Cove
in Mission Bay, San Diego; ‘‘Fearless
Triathlon’’ occurring in March at the
South Shores Boat Ramp in Mission
Bay, San Diego; ‘‘Bay to Bay Rowing and
Paddling Regatta’’ occurring in July
from Mission Bay to San Diego Bay;
‘‘San Diego Sharkfest Swim’’ occurring
one Saturday in September or October
in the waters from Seaport Village
across the federal channel to the
Coronado Ferry Landing; ‘‘San Diego
TriRock Triathlon’’ occurring on a
Saturday in March in the East
Embarcadero Marina Basin; ‘‘San Diego
Bayfair’’ occurring the second or third
weekend in September at Mission Bay,
San Diego; ‘‘Oceanside Harbor Days Tiki
Swim’’ occurring on one Saturday in
late September or early October in
Oceanside Harbor, Oceanside; ‘‘U.S.
Open Ski Racing Nationals’’ occurring
one weekend in October at Mission Bay,
San Diego; ‘‘San Diego Maritime
Museum Tall Ship Festival of Sail’’
occurring one weekend in September in
San Diego Bay; ‘‘Hanohano Ocean
Challenge’’ an outrigger canoe race
occurring on a Saturday in January in
Mission Bay, San Diego; ‘‘Crystal Pier
Outrigger Race’’ an outrigger canoe race
occurring in Mission Bay and Mission
Bay Entrance Channel on a Saturday in
May, Mission Bay, San Diego; and the
‘‘San Diego Ho’olaule’a & Keiki Heihei
Wa’a Stand Up for the Kids Race’’
occurring on a weekend in May in
Mission Bay, San Diego. We also
propose to update the information
specific to the ‘‘San Diego Parade of
Lights’’ by inserting a new event
sponsor, date, and regulated area.
The Coast Guard proposes to update
33 CFR 100.1102, annual marine events
on the Colorado River, between Davis
Dam (Bullhead City, AZ) and Headgate
Dam (Parker, AZ) within the San Diego
Captain of the Port zone, by adding 9
new events and updating 1 event with
E:\FR\FM\18NOP1.SGM
18NOP1
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 222 / Monday, November 18, 2013 / Proposed Rules
correct verbiage. The 9 new events in
this section are as follows: ’’BlueWater
Resort and Casino Southwest
Showdown’’ occurring one weekend in
March in the waters of the Colorado
River between BlueWater Resort and
Casino and just north of Headgate Rock
Dam in Parker, AZ; ‘‘BlueWater Resort
and Casino West Coast Nationals’’
occurring one weekend in April in the
Lake Moovalya area of the Colorado
River and the portion of the Colorado
River adjacent to the BlueWater River
Casino, in Parker, AZ; ‘‘Great Western
Tube Float’’ occurring one Saturday in
early June in the navigable waters of the
Colorado River from La Paz County Park
to the BlueWater Resort and Casino,
immediately before the Headgate Dam;
‘‘Mark Hahn Memorial 300 PWC
Endurance Race’’ occurring in late
February at Lake Havasu; ‘‘Lake Havasu
Triathlon’’ occurring in March at Lake
Havasu; ‘‘Bullhead City River Regatta’’
occurring one Saturday in August in the
Colorado River from Camp Davis to
Rotary Park; ‘‘BlueWater Triathlon’’
occurring one Saturday in October in
the waters of the Colorado River
between Blue Water Resort and Casino
Amphitheater and just north of
Headgate Rock Dam in Parker, AZ;
‘‘BlueWater Resort and Casino 300
Enduro’’ occurring in late October at
river mile markers 179 and 185 in the
Colorado River; and ‘‘Another Dam
Race’’ occurring one Saturday in
November in the waters of the Colorado
River between Blue Water Resort and
Casino Amphitheater and just north of
Headgate Rock Dam in Parker, AZ. We
also propose to update the information
specific to the ‘‘Lake Havasu City Boat
Parade of Lights’’ by inserting a new
regulated area.
Lastly, the Coast Guard proposes to
reinstate the 16 annually recurring
marine events previously listed in 33
CFR 100.1104, Captain of the Port zone
Los Angeles—Long Beach. The 16
marine events being reinstated were
mistakenly deleted in 2011 and are not
new events. By reinstating these 16
marine events, table 1 of this section
will accurately reflect the 17 annually
recurring events that are held in the
Captain of the Port zone Los Angeles—
Long Beach.
The proposed changes will effectively
update special local regulations with
annually occurring marine events in the
Eleventh Coast Guard District. Table 1
for each of the listed sections will reflect
current information. This rulemaking
limits the unnecessary burden of
continually establishing temporary
special local regulations every year for
events that occur on an annual basis.
These events include swimming
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:23 Nov 15, 2013
Jkt 232001
competitions, sailboat and power boat
races and rowing events within the San
Diego and Los Angeles—Long Beach
Captain of the Port zones.
Regulated areas listed in these events
are needed to protect both the event
participants, spectators, and other
mariners and provide on-water
awareness for safety. To reduce
associated safety risks, special local
regulations will restrict vessels and
water craft around the location of each
marine event. Within the regulated areas
of the listed marine events, persons and
vessels not associated with the event
will be prohibited from entering,
transiting through, remaining, anchoring
ormooring within the regulated area
unless specifically authorized by the
Captain of the Port (COTP) or
designated representative. Persons or
vessels would be able to request
authorization to enter, transit through,
remain, anchor or moor within the
regulated areas by contacting the
Captain of the Port for the respective
location, COTP San Diego 619–278–
7033 and COTP Los Angeles—Long
Beach 310–521–3801 or designated
representative on VHF radio channel 16.
If any person is authorized to enter,
transit through, remain, anchor or moor
within any of the regulated areas, the
individual would be required to comply
with the instructions of the COTP or
designated representative.
Designated representatives are
comprised of commissioned, warrant,
and petty officers of the Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard may also be assisted by
other federal, state, and local agencies in
the enforcement of these regulated
areas.
D. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed rule after
considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking.
Below we summarize our analyses
based on numerous 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 rulemaking is not a
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
69009
significant regulatory action because the
regulations exist for a limited period of
time on a limited portion of the
waterways. Further, individuals and
vessels desiring to use the affected
portion of the waterways may, upon
permission from the Patrol Commander,
use the affected areas.
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 proposed rule will not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities.
We expect this proposed rule will
affect the following entities, some of
which may be small entities: the owners
and operators of vessels intending to
fish, transit, or anchor in the waters
affected by these special local
regulations. These special local
regulations will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities for the
following reasons: small vessel traffic
will be able to pass safely around the
area and vessels engaged in event
activities, sightseeing and commercial
fishing have ample space outside of the
area governed by the special local
regulations to engage in these activities.
Small entities and the maritime public
will be advised of implementation of
these special local regulations via public
notice to mariners or notice of
implementation published in the
Federal Register.
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
E:\FR\FM\18NOP1.SGM
18NOP1
69010
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 222 / Monday, November 18, 2013 / Proposed Rules
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.
10. Protection of Children From
Environmental Health Risks
This proposed rule will not form a
new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501–3520.).
We have analyzed this proposed rule
under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from
Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This rulemaking is not an
economically significant rule and would
not create an environmental risk to
health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.
5. Federalism
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.
4. Collection of Information
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
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Marine safety, Navigation (water),
Reporting and recordkeeping
requirements, Waterways.
For the reasons discussed in the
preamble, the Coast Guard proposes to
revise 33 CFR part 100 as follows:
11. Indian Tribal Governments
A rule has implications for federalism
under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct
effect on State or local governments and
would either preempt State law or
impose a substantial direct cost of
compliance on them. We have analyzed
this proposed rule under that Order and
have determined that it does not have
implications for federalism.
List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 100
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.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:23 Nov 15, 2013
Jkt 232001
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
rulemaking is categorically excluded
from further review under paragraph
34(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.

[Docket No. USCG-2013-0361]
RIN 1625-AA08
Special Local Regulations; Eleventh Coast Guard District Annual
Marine Events
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to update the list of marine events
that occur annually within the Eleventh Coast Guard District. These
updates include adding specific marine events to the list of marine
events held annually in the Eleventh Coast Guard District as well as
removing marine events that no longer occur. In addition to updating
the list of marine events held annually in the Eleventh Coast Guard
District, the Coast Guard proposes to amend the special local
regulations by standardizing the language and format of listed events.
When these special local regulations are activated, and thus subject to
enforcement, this proposed rule would restrict vessels from transiting
inside the regulated area.
DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before December 18, 2013. Requests for public meetings must
be received by the Coast Guard on or before December 2, 2013.

B. Basis and Purpose
The Coast Guard is conducting this rulemaking under the authority
of 33 U.S.C. 1233.
Specific marine events are annually held on a recurring basis on
the navigable waters within the Eleventh Coast Guard District and
require special local regulations to keep spectators and vessels a safe
distance away from the vessels and individuals that are participating
in the specified events. These events include sailing regattas,
powerboat races, rowboat races, parades, and swim events. Some of these
marine events are not currently listed in 33 CFR 100 sections 1101,
1102 and 1104 or many of the annual events that are listed in these
sections do not correctly reflect the date or approximate date of the
event or do not correctly identify other important information specific
to the event.
The effect of these proposed special local regulations will be to
restrict general navigation in the vicinity of the events, from the
start of each event until the conclusion of that event. Except for
persons or vessels authorized by the Coast Guard Patrol Commander, no
person or vessel may enter or remain in the regulated area. These
regulations are needed to keep spectators and vessels a safe distance
away from the specified events to help ensure the safety of
participants, spectators, and transiting vessels.
C. Discussion of Proposed Rule
The Coast Guard proposes to revise 33 CFR 100.1101, Southern
California annual marine events for the San Diego Captain of the Port
zone, by adding 12 new events and updating 1 event with correct
verbiage. The 12 new events in this section are as follows: ``ITU World
Triathlon'' occurring late April or early May at Bonita Cove and
Ventura Cove in Mission Bay, San Diego; ``Fearless Triathlon''
occurring in March at the South Shores Boat Ramp in Mission Bay, San
Diego; ``Bay to Bay Rowing and Paddling Regatta'' occurring in July
from Mission Bay to San Diego Bay; ``San Diego Sharkfest Swim''
occurring one Saturday in September or October in the waters from
Seaport Village across the federal channel to the Coronado Ferry
Landing; ``San Diego TriRock Triathlon'' occurring on a Saturday in
March in the East Embarcadero Marina Basin; ``San Diego Bayfair''
occurring the second or third weekend in September at Mission Bay, San
Diego; ``Oceanside Harbor Days Tiki Swim'' occurring on one Saturday in
late September or early October in Oceanside Harbor, Oceanside; ``U.S.
Open Ski Racing Nationals'' occurring one weekend in October at Mission
Bay, San Diego; ``San Diego Maritime Museum Tall Ship Festival of
Sail'' occurring one weekend in September in San Diego Bay; ``Hanohano
Ocean Challenge'' an outrigger canoe race occurring on a Saturday in
January in Mission Bay, San Diego; ``Crystal Pier Outrigger Race'' an
outrigger canoe race occurring in Mission Bay and Mission Bay Entrance
Channel on a Saturday in May, Mission Bay, San Diego; and the ``San
Diego Ho'olaule'a & Keiki Heihei Wa'a Stand Up for the Kids Race''
occurring on a weekend in May in Mission Bay, San Diego. We also
propose to update the information specific to the ``San Diego Parade of
Lights'' by inserting a new event sponsor, date, and regulated area.
The Coast Guard proposes to update 33 CFR 100.1102, annual marine
events on the Colorado River, between Davis Dam (Bullhead City, AZ) and
Headgate Dam (Parker, AZ) within the San Diego Captain of the Port
zone, by adding 9 new events and updating 1 event with
[[Page 69009]]
correct verbiage. The 9 new events in this section are as follows:
''BlueWater Resort and Casino Southwest Showdown'' occurring one
weekend in March in the waters of the Colorado River between BlueWater
Resort and Casino and just north of Headgate Rock Dam in Parker, AZ;
``BlueWater Resort and Casino West Coast Nationals'' occurring one
weekend in April in the Lake Moovalya area of the Colorado River and
the portion of the Colorado River adjacent to the BlueWater River
Casino, in Parker, AZ; ``Great Western Tube Float'' occurring one
Saturday in early June in the navigable waters of the Colorado River
from La Paz County Park to the BlueWater Resort and Casino, immediately
before the Headgate Dam; ``Mark Hahn Memorial 300 PWC Endurance Race''
occurring in late February at Lake Havasu; ``Lake Havasu Triathlon''
occurring in March at Lake Havasu; ``Bullhead City River Regatta''
occurring one Saturday in August in the Colorado River from Camp Davis
to Rotary Park; ``BlueWater Triathlon'' occurring one Saturday in
October in the waters of the Colorado River between Blue Water Resort
and Casino Amphitheater and just north of Headgate Rock Dam in Parker,
AZ; ``BlueWater Resort and Casino 300 Enduro'' occurring in late
October at river mile markers 179 and 185 in the Colorado River; and
``Another Dam Race'' occurring one Saturday in November in the waters
of the Colorado River between Blue Water Resort and Casino Amphitheater
and just north of Headgate Rock Dam in Parker, AZ. We also propose to
update the information specific to the ``Lake Havasu City Boat Parade
of Lights'' by inserting a new regulated area.
Lastly, the Coast Guard proposes to reinstate the 16 annually
recurring marine events previously listed in 33 CFR 100.1104, Captain
of the Port zone Los Angeles--Long Beach. The 16 marine events being
reinstated were mistakenly deleted in 2011 and are not new events. By
reinstating these 16 marine events, table 1 of this section will
accurately reflect the 17 annually recurring events that are held in
the Captain of the Port zone Los Angeles--Long Beach.
The proposed changes will effectively update special local
regulations with annually occurring marine events in the Eleventh Coast
Guard District. Table 1 for each of the listed sections will reflect
current information. This rulemaking limits the unnecessary burden of
continually establishing temporary special local regulations every year
for events that occur on an annual basis. These events include swimming
competitions, sailboat and power boat races and rowing events within
the San Diego and Los Angeles--Long Beach Captain of the Port zones.
Regulated areas listed in these events are needed to protect both
the event participants, spectators, and other mariners and provide on-
water awareness for safety. To reduce associated safety risks, special
local regulations will restrict vessels and water craft around the
location of each marine event. Within the regulated areas of the listed
marine events, persons and vessels not associated with the event will
be prohibited from entering, transiting through, remaining, anchoring
ormooring within the regulated area unless specifically authorized by
the Captain of the Port (COTP) or designated representative. Persons or
vessels would be able to request authorization to enter, transit
through, remain, anchor or moor within the regulated areas by
contacting the Captain of the Port for the respective location, COTP
San Diego 619-278-7033 and COTP Los Angeles--Long Beach 310-521-3801 or
designated representative on VHF radio channel 16. If any person is
authorized to enter, transit through, remain, anchor or moor within any
of the regulated areas, the individual would be required to comply with
the instructions of the COTP or designated representative.
Designated representatives are comprised of commissioned, warrant,
and petty officers of the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard may also be
assisted by other federal, state, and local agencies in the enforcement
of these regulated areas.
D. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on numerous 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 rulemaking is not a significant
regulatory action because the regulations exist for a limited period of
time on a limited portion of the waterways. Further, individuals and
vessels desiring to use the affected portion of the waterways may, upon
permission from the Patrol Commander, use the affected areas.
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
proposed rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
We expect this proposed rule will affect the following entities,
some of which may be small entities: the owners and operators of
vessels intending to fish, transit, or anchor in the waters affected by
these special local regulations. These special local regulations will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities for the following reasons: small vessel traffic will be able
to pass safely around the area and vessels engaged in event activities,
sightseeing and commercial fishing have ample space outside of the area
governed by the special local regulations to engage in these
activities. Small entities and the maritime public will be advised of
implementation of these special local regulations via public notice to
mariners or notice of implementation published in the Federal Register.
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
[[Page 69010]]
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 form 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 State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this proposed rule
under that Order and have determined that it 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 rulemaking 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 rulemaking is
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph 34(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.
List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 100
Marine safety, Navigation (water), Reporting and recordkeeping
requirements, Waterways.
For the reasons discussed in the preamble, the Coast Guard proposes
to revise 33 CFR part 100 as follows:
PART 100--MARINE EVENTS
0
1. The authority citation for part 100 continues to read as follows:
Authority: 33 U.S.C. 1233.
0
2. Revise Sec. 100.1101 to read as follows:
Sec. 100.1101 Southern California Annual Marine Events for the San
Diego Captain of the Port Zone.
(a) General. Special local regulations are established for the
events listed in Table 1 of this section. Notice of implementation of
these special local regulations will be made by publication in the
Federal Register 30 days prior to the event for those events without
specific dates. In all cases, further information on exact dates,
times, and other details concerning the number and type of participants
and an exact geographical description of the areas are published by the
Eleventh Coast Guard District in the Local Notice to Mariners at least
20 days prior to each event. To be placed on the mailing list for Local
Notice to Mariners contact: Commander (dpw), Eleventh Coast Guard
District, Coast Guard Island, Building 50-2, Alameda, CA 94501-5100.
Note: Sponsors of events listed in Table 1 of this section must submit
an application each year in accordance with 33 CFR 100.15 to the
cognizant Coast Guard Sector Commander no less than 60 days before the
start of the proposed event. Sponsors are informed that ample lead time
is required to inform all Federal, state, local agencies, and/or other
interested parties and to provide the sponsor the best support to
ensure the safety of life and property.
(b) Special local regulations. All persons and vessels not
registered with the sponsor as participants or as official patrol
vessels are considered spectators. The ``official patrol'' consists of
any Coast Guard or other vessel assigned or approved by the cognizant
Coast Guard Sector Commander to patrol each event.
(1) No spectator shall anchor, block, loiter, nor impede the
through transit of participants or official patrol vessels in the
regulated areas during all applicable effective dates and times unless
cleared to do so by or through an official patrol vessel.
(2) When hailed and/or signaled by an official patrol vessel, any
spectator
[[Page 69011]]
located within a regulated area during all applicable effective dates
and times shall come to an immediate stop.
(3) The Patrol Commander (PATCOM) is empowered to control the
movement of all vessels in the regulated area or to restrict vessels
from entering the regulated area. The Patrol Commander shall be
designated by the cognizant Coast Guard Sector Commander; will be a
U.S. Coast Guard commissioned officer, warrant officer, or petty
officer to act as the Sector Commander's official representative; and
will be located aboard the lead official patrol vessel. As the Sector
Commander's representative, the PATCOM may terminate the event any time
