Special Local Regulations and Safety
Zones; Recurring Marine Events and
Fireworks Displays Within the Fifth
Coast Guard District
Coast Guard, DHS.
Interim final rule; request for
comments.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard is amending
its special local regulations and safety
zones established for recurring marine
events and fireworks displays that take
place within the Fifth Coast Guard
District area of responsibility. This
interim final rule revises the listing of
events that informs the public of
regularly scheduled marine parades,
regattas, other organized water events,
and fireworks displays that require
additional safety measures provided by
regulations. Through this interim final
rule, the current list of recurring marine
events requiring special local
regulations or safety zones is updated
with revisions, additional events, and
removal of events that no longer take
place in the Fifth Coast Guard District
area of responsibility. When these
special local regulations and safety
zones are enforced, certain restrictions
are placed on marine traffic in specified
areas. Additionally, this rulemaking
project promotes efficiency by
eliminating the need to produce a
separate rule for each individual
recurring event, and serves to provide
notice of the known recurring events
requiring a special local regulation or
safety zone throughout the year.
DATES: This rule is effective without
actual notice from May 27, 2014. For the
purposes of enforcement, actual notice
will be used from the date the rule was
signed, May 12, 2014, until May 27,
2014. Comments and related material
must be received by the Coast Guard on
or before June 26, 2014.

B. Regulatory History and Information
The special local regulations listed in
33 CFR 100.501 and safety zones in 33
CFR 165.506 were last amended on May
21, 2013, (78 FR 29629). The Coast
Guard is issuing this interim final rule
without prior notice and opportunity to
comment pursuant to authority under
section 4(a) of the Administrative
Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)).
This provision authorizes an agency to
issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the
agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ‘‘impracticable,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.’’
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for
not publishing a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) with respect to this
rule because immediate action is
necessary to protect the maritime public
during certain marine events. The
potential dangers posed by certain
marine events and fireworks displays
conducted on waterways in close
proximity to other vessel traffic makes
special local regulations and safety
zones necessary to provide for the safety
of participants, spectator craft, and other
vessels transiting the event area.
Accordingly, waiting for a comment
period to run would be contrary to the
public interest of protecting life and
property. In addition, publishing an
NPRM is impracticable because the
necessary information regarding these
annual recurring marine events and
fireworks displays was not available in
sufficient time to ensure accurate and
up to date listings to allow for a
comment period prior to the events.
For the same reasons, 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.
Additionally, providing a 30-day notice
would unnecessarily delay the effective
dates for the events listed to occur in
June and July of 2014, which are also
noticed to the public through local
media outlets, and are planned on by
the local communities where they take
place.
This interim rule is effective upon
publication without prior notice
through publication in the Federal
Register, however we invite comments
regarding the updated list of marine
PO 00000
Frm 00022
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
events. The Coast Guard will address all
comments accordingly, whether through
response, additional revision to the
regulations, or otherwise.
This interim rule, prepared to provide
the most up to date list of recurring
marine events, special local regulations
and safety zones, provides ample notice
for all listed events occurring after July
2014. Additionally, these recurring
events are noticed to the public through
local media and planned on by the local
communities in which they take place.
The current lists of annual and
recurring special local regulations and
safety zones for marine events and
fireworks displays within the Fifth
Coast Guard District area of
responsibility (AOR) are published
under 33 CFR 100.501 and 165.506,
respectively. These lists were last
updated May 21, 2013 through a
previous rulemaking (78 FR 29629), and
generated no adverse comments. Like
this interim rule, the May 2013 rule
added to, removed from, and amended
33 CFR 100.501 and 33 CFR 165.506 to
create a comprehensive list of recurring
marine events and fireworks displays
requiring special local regulations and
safety zones.
C. Basis and Purpose
The Coast Guard is amending and
updating the list of permanent special
local regulations at 33 CFR 100.501 and
safety zones at 33 CFR 165.506,
established for recurring marine events
and fireworks displays at various
locations within the geographic
boundary of the Fifth Coast Guard
District. The Fifth Coast Guard District
AOR is defined in 33 CFR 3.25.
Publishing these regulatory updates in
a single rulemaking promotes efficiency
and provides the public with notice
through publication in the Federal
Register of the upcoming recurring
marine events and fireworks displays
and their accompanying regulations,
special local regulations, and safety
zones.
D. Discussion of the Interim Rule
Special Local Regulations
This rule adds 2 new marine events
with special local regulations, removes
2 events, and revises 10 previously
established marine events in the Table
to § 100.501.
The two newly added marine events
to 33 CFR 100.501 affect the Middle
River, Essex, MD and the Atlantic
Ocean, Ocean City, MD. The two
removed events no longer listed in 33
CFR 100.501 are the Tri Rock Triathlon,
Annapolis, MD, and the Virginia Beach,
VA, Hydroplane Races. The 10 existing

Based on the nature of marine events,
large number of participants and
spectators, and event locations, the
Coast Guard has determined that the
events listed in this rule could pose a
risk to participants or waterway users if
normal vessel traffic were to interfere
with the event. Possible hazards include
risks of participant injury or death
resulting from near or actual contact
with non-participant vessels traversing
through the regulated areas. In order to
protect the safety of all waterway users
including event participants and
spectators, this rule establishes special
local regulations for the time and
location of each marine event.
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 Captain of the Port
(COTP), or designated Coast Guard
Patrol Commander. The designated
‘‘Patrol Commander’’ includes Coast
Guard commissioned, warrant, or petty
officer who has been designated by the
COTP to act on their behalf. On-scene
patrol commander may be augmented
by local, State or Federal officials
authorized to act in support of the Coast
Guard.

established safety zones from the Table
to § 165.506. The two newly added
safety zones are for fireworks events on
the Patapsco River, Baltimore Harbor,
Baltimore, MD and on the Atlantic Intra
Coastal Waterway, Swansboro, NC. The
17 revisions to existing safety zones in
165.506 involve changes to event date(s)

Each year, organizations in the Fifth
Coast Guard District sponsor fireworks
displays in the same general location
and time period. Each event uses a barge
or an on-shore site near the shoreline as
the fireworks launch platform. A safety
zone is used to control vessel movement
within a specified distance surrounding
VerDate Mar<15>2010

the launch platforms to ensure the
safety of persons and property. Coast
Guard personnel on scene may allow
boaters within the safety zone if
conditions permit.
The enforcement period for these
safety zones is from 5:30 p.m. to 1 a.m.
local time. However, vessels may enter,

remain in, or transit through these safety

27MYR1

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 101 / Tuesday, May 27, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
E. 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.
We expect the economic impact of
this interim final rule to be so minimal
that a full Regulatory Evaluation is
unnecessary. This finding is based on
the short amount of time that vessels
will be restricted from regulated areas,
and the small size of these areas that are
typically positioned away from high
vessel traffic zones. Generally vessels
would not be precluded from getting
underway, or mooring at any piers or
marinas currently located in the vicinity
of the regulated areas. Advance
notifications would also be made to the
local maritime community by issuance
of Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast
Notice to Mariners, Marine information
and facsimile broadcasts so mariners
can adjust their plans accordingly.
Notifications to the public for most
events will usually be made by local
newspapers, radio and TV stations. The
Coast Guard anticipates that these
special local regulated areas and safety
zones will only be enforced one to three
times per year.
emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD 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 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. This rule will
affect the following entities some of
which may be small entities: The
owners and operators of vessels
intending to transit or anchor in these
regulated areas during the times the
zones are enforced.
These special local regulated areas
and safety zones will not have a
significant economic impact on a
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:52 May 23, 2014
Jkt 232001
substantial number of small entities for
the following reasons: The Coast Guard
will ensure that small entities are able
to operate in the areas where events are
occurring to the extent possible while
ensuring the safety of event participants
and spectators. The enforcement period
will be short in duration and, in many
of the areas, vessels can transit safely
around the regulated area. Generally,
blanket permission to enter, remain in,
or transit through these regulated areas
will be given, except during the period
that the Coast Guard patrol vessel is
present. Before the enforcement period,
we will issue maritime advisories
widely.
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 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
PO 00000
Frm 00024
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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 From
Environmental Health Risks
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
E:\FR\FM\27MYR1.SGM
27MYR1
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 101 / Tuesday, May 27, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
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 implementation of
regulations within 33 CFR Part 100 that
apply to organized marine events on the
navigable waters of the United States.
Some marine events by their nature may
introduce potential for adverse impact
on the safety or other interest of
waterway users or waterfront
infrastructure within or close proximity
to the event area. The category of water
activities includes but is not limited to
sail boat regattas, boat parades, power
boat racing, swimming events, crew
racing, and sail board racing. This
section of the rule is categorically
excluded from further review under
paragraph 34(h) of Figure 2–1 of the
Commandant Instruction. An
environmental analysis checklist
supporting this determination and a
Categorical Exclusion Determination are
not required for this section of the rule.
This rule involves implementation of
regulations at 33 CFR Part 165 that
establish safety zones on navigable
waters of the United States for fireworks
events. These safety zones are enforced
for the duration of fireworks display
events. The fireworks are generally
launched from or immediately adjacent
to navigable waters of the United States.
The category of activities includes
fireworks launched from barges or at the
shoreline that generally rely on the use
of navigable waters as a safety buffer.
Fireworks displays may introduce
potential hazards such as accidental
discharge of fireworks, dangerous
projectiles, and falling hot embers or
other debris. This section of the rule is
categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph 34(g) of Figure
2–1 of the Commandant Instruction. A
preliminary environmental analysis
30029
checklist supporting this determination
and a Categorical Exclusion
Determination are available in the
docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or
information that may lead to the
discovery of a significant environmental
impact from this rule.

ACTION:
This document adopts as a
final rule, without change, an interim
final rule amending the Department of
Veterans Affairs (VA) medical
regulations to freeze the copayments
required for certain medications
provided by VA until December 31,
2014. Under that rule, the copayment
amounts for all veterans were
maintained at the same rates as they
were in 2013, which were $8 for
veterans in priority groups 2–6 and $9
for veterans in priority groups 7 and 8.
On January 1, 2015, the copayment

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: An
interim final rule amending VA’s
medical regulations concerning the
copayment required for certain
medications was published in the
Federal Register on December 30, 2013.
78 FR 79315–79317. Interested persons
were invited to submit comments to the
interim final rule on or before February
28, 2014, and we received no comments.
Therefore, based on the rationale set
forth in the interim final rule, VA is
adopting the interim final rule as a final
rule with no changes.
Administrative Procedure Act
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B)
and (d)(3), the Secretary of Veterans
Affairs concluded that there was good
cause to publish this rule without prior
opportunity for public comment and to
publish this rule with an immediate
effective date. The Secretary found that
it was impracticable and contrary to the
public interest to delay this rule for the
purpose of soliciting advance public
comment or to have a delayed effective
date. Increasing the copayment amount
on January 1, 2014, might have caused
a significant financial hardship for some
veterans and may have decreased
patient adherence to medical plans,
resulting in other unpredictable
negative health effects. Nevertheless, the
Secretary invited public comment on
the interim final rule but did not receive
any comments.
Effect of Rulemaking
Title 38 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, as revised by this final
rulemaking, represents VA’s
implementation of its legal authority on
this subject. Other than future
amendments to this regulation or
governing statutes, no contrary guidance
or procedures are authorized. All
existing or subsequent VA guidance
must be read to conform with this
rulemaking if possible or, if not
possible, such guidance is superseded
by this rulemaking.

This final rule contains no provisions
constituting a collection of information
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3521).

Special Local Regulations and Safety Zones; Recurring Marine
Events and Fireworks Displays Within the Fifth Coast Guard District
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Interim final rule; request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is amending its special local regulations and
safety zones established for recurring marine events and fireworks
displays that take place within the Fifth Coast Guard District area of
responsibility. This interim final rule revises the listing of events
that informs the public of regularly scheduled marine parades,
regattas, other organized water events, and fireworks displays that
require additional safety measures provided by regulations. Through
this interim final rule, the current list of recurring marine events
requiring special local regulations or safety zones is updated with
revisions, additional events, and removal of events that no longer take
place in the Fifth Coast Guard District area of responsibility. When
these special local regulations and safety zones are enforced, certain
restrictions are placed on marine traffic in specified areas.
Additionally, this rulemaking project promotes efficiency by
eliminating the need to produce a separate rule for each individual
recurring event, and serves to provide notice of the known recurring
events requiring a special local regulation or safety zone throughout
the year.
DATES: This rule is effective without actual notice from May 27, 2014.
For the purposes of enforcement, actual notice will be used from the
date the rule was signed, May 12, 2014, until May 27, 2014. Comments
and related material must be received by the Coast Guard on or before
June 26, 2014.

B. Regulatory History and Information
The special local regulations listed in 33 CFR 100.501 and safety
zones in 33 CFR 165.506 were last amended on May 21, 2013, (78 FR
29629). The Coast Guard is issuing this interim final rule without
prior notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under
section 4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C.
553(b)). This provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without
prior notice and opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause
finds that those procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or
contrary to the public interest.''
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) with
respect to this rule because immediate action is necessary to protect
the maritime public during certain marine events. The potential dangers
posed by certain marine events and fireworks displays conducted on
waterways in close proximity to other vessel traffic makes special
local regulations and safety zones necessary to provide for the safety
of participants, spectator craft, and other vessels transiting the
event area. Accordingly, waiting for a comment period to run would be
contrary to the public interest of protecting life and property. In
addition, publishing an NPRM is impracticable because the necessary
information regarding these annual recurring marine events and
fireworks displays was not available in sufficient time to ensure
accurate and up to date listings to allow for a comment period prior to
the events.
For the same reasons, 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. Additionally,
providing a 30-day notice would unnecessarily delay the effective dates
for the events listed to occur in June and July of 2014, which are also
noticed to the public through local media outlets, and are planned on
by the local communities where they take place.
This interim rule is effective upon publication without prior
notice through publication in the Federal Register, however we invite
comments regarding the updated list of marine events. The Coast Guard
will address all comments accordingly, whether through response,
additional revision to the regulations, or otherwise.
This interim rule, prepared to provide the most up to date list of
recurring marine events, special local regulations and safety zones,
provides ample notice for all listed events occurring after July 2014.
Additionally, these recurring events are noticed to the public through
local media and planned on by the local communities in which they take
place.
The current lists of annual and recurring special local regulations
and safety zones for marine events and fireworks displays within the
Fifth Coast Guard District area of responsibility (AOR) are published
under 33 CFR 100.501 and 165.506, respectively. These lists were last
updated May 21, 2013 through a previous rulemaking (78 FR 29629), and
generated no adverse comments. Like this interim rule, the May 2013
rule added to, removed from, and amended 33 CFR 100.501 and 33 CFR
165.506 to create a comprehensive list of recurring marine events and
fireworks displays requiring special local regulations and safety
zones.
C. Basis and Purpose
The Coast Guard is amending and updating the list of permanent
special local regulations at 33 CFR 100.501 and safety zones at 33 CFR
165.506, established for recurring marine events and fireworks displays
at various locations within the geographic boundary of the Fifth Coast
Guard District. The Fifth Coast Guard District AOR is defined in 33 CFR
3.25.
Publishing these regulatory updates in a single rulemaking promotes
efficiency and provides the public with notice through publication in
the Federal Register of the upcoming recurring marine events and
fireworks displays and their accompanying regulations, special local
regulations, and safety zones.
D. Discussion of the Interim Rule
Special Local Regulations
This rule adds 2 new marine events with special local regulations,
removes 2 events, and revises 10 previously established marine events
in the Table to Sec. 100.501.
The two newly added marine events to 33 CFR 100.501 affect the
Middle River, Essex, MD and the Atlantic Ocean, Ocean City, MD. The two
removed events no longer listed in 33 CFR 100.501 are the Tri Rock
Triathlon, Annapolis, MD, and the Virginia Beach, VA, Hydroplane Races.
The 10 existing
[[Page 30027]]
special local regulations that involve changes to marine event date(s)
and coordinates are shown in Table 1, with reference by section as
printed in the Table to Sec. 100.501.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Based on the nature of marine events, large number of participants
and spectators, and event locations, the Coast Guard has determined
that the events listed in this rule could pose a risk to participants
or waterway users if normal vessel traffic were to interfere with the
event. Possible hazards include risks of participant injury or death
resulting from near or actual contact with non-participant vessels
traversing through the regulated areas. In order to protect the safety
of all waterway users including event participants and spectators, this
rule establishes special local regulations for the time and location of
each marine event.
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 Captain of
the Port (COTP), or designated Coast Guard Patrol Commander. The
designated ``Patrol Commander'' includes Coast Guard commissioned,
warrant, or petty officer who has been designated by the COTP to act on
their behalf. On-scene patrol commander may be augmented by local,
State or Federal officials authorized to act in support of the Coast
Guard.
Safety Zones
This rule adds 2 new events with safety zones, and revises 17
previously established safety zones from the Table to Sec. 165.506.
The two newly added safety zones are for fireworks events on the
Patapsco River, Baltimore Harbor, Baltimore, MD and on the Atlantic
Intra Coastal Waterway, Swansboro, NC. The 17 revisions to existing
safety zones in 165.506 involve changes to event date(s) and
coordinates. These revised safety zones are shown in Table 2, with
reference by section as printed in the Table to Sec. 165.506.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each year, organizations in the Fifth Coast Guard District sponsor
fireworks displays in the same general location and time period. Each
event uses a barge or an on-shore site near the shoreline as the
fireworks launch platform. A safety zone is used to control vessel
movement within a specified distance surrounding the launch platforms
to ensure the safety of persons and property. Coast Guard personnel on
scene may allow boaters within the safety zone if conditions permit.
The enforcement period for these safety zones is from 5:30 p.m. to
1 a.m. local time. However, vessels may enter, remain in, or transit
through these safety zones during this time frame if authorized by the
COTP or designated Coast Guard patrol personnel on scene, as provided
for in 33 CFR 165.23. This rule provides for the safety of life on
navigable waters during the events.
[[Page 30028]]
E. 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.
We expect the economic impact of this interim final rule to be so
minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary. This finding
is based on the short amount of time that vessels will be restricted
from regulated areas, and the small size of these areas that are
typically positioned away from high vessel traffic zones. Generally
vessels would not be precluded from getting underway, or mooring at any
piers or marinas currently located in the vicinity of the regulated
areas. Advance notifications would also be made to the local maritime
community by issuance of Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast Notice to
Mariners, Marine information and facsimile broadcasts so mariners can
adjust their plans accordingly. Notifications to the public for most
events will usually be made by local newspapers, radio and TV stations.
The Coast Guard anticipates that these special local regulated areas
and safety zones will only be enforced one to three times per year.
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 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.
This rule will affect the following entities some of which may be small
entities: The owners and operators of vessels intending to transit or
anchor in these regulated areas during the times the zones are
enforced.
These special local regulated areas and safety zones will not have
a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
for the following reasons: The Coast Guard will ensure that small
entities are able to operate in the areas where events are occurring to
the extent possible while ensuring the safety of event participants and
spectators. The enforcement period will be short in duration and, in
many of the areas, vessels can transit safely around the regulated
area. Generally, blanket permission to enter, remain in, or transit
through these regulated areas will be given, except during the period
that the Coast Guard patrol vessel is present. Before the enforcement
period, we will issue maritime advisories widely.
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 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 From Environmental Health Risks
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
[[Page 30029]]
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 implementation of regulations within 33 CFR Part
100 that apply to organized marine events on the navigable waters of
the United States. Some marine events by their nature may introduce
potential for adverse impact on the safety or other interest of
waterway users or waterfront infrastructure within or close proximity
to the event area. The category of water activities includes but is not
limited to sail boat regattas, boat parades, power boat racing,
swimming events, crew racing, and sail board racing. This section of
the rule is categorically excluded from further review under paragraph
34(h) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. An environmental
analysis checklist supporting this determination and a Categorical
Exclusion Determination are not required for this section of the rule.
This rule involves implementation of regulations at 33 CFR Part 165
that establish safety zones on navigable waters of the United States
for fireworks events. These safety zones are enforced for the duration
of fireworks display events. The fireworks are generally launched from
or immediately adjacent to navigable waters of the United States. The
category of activities includes fireworks launched from barges or at
the shoreline that generally rely on the use of navigable waters as a
safety buffer. Fireworks displays may introduce potential hazards such
as accidental discharge of fireworks, dangerous projectiles, and
falling hot embers or other debris. This section of the rule is
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph 34(g) of
Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. A preliminary environmental
analysis checklist supporting this determination and a Categorical
Exclusion Determination are available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or information that may lead to
the discovery of a significant environmental impact from this rule.
