A. Regulatory History and Information
The Coast Guard is issuing this
temporary 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)(3)(B), the Coast Guard finds that
good cause exists for not publishing a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule. The Coast
Guard received notice on April 7, 2014
that the Renaissance Man Triathlon is
planned to take place on July 13, 2014.
The swimming portion of this event will
take place on the Tennessee River from
mile 256.0 to mile 257.5. Upon
reviewing the details of this event, the
Coast Guard determined that a special
local regulation is necessary during the
event’s swimming portion, taking place
on the Tennessee River. Completing the
full NPRM process is contrary to the
public interest as it would delay the
additional safety measures necessary to
protect participants and event personnel

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DATES:
The Coast Guard is
establishing a temporary special local
regulation for the waters of the
Tennessee River beginning at mile
marker 256.0 and ending at mile marker
257.5, extending bank to bank. This
zone is necessary to protect participants
of the Renaissance Man Triathlon
during the swim portion of the event.
Entry into this area is prohibited unless
specifically authorized by the Captain of
the Port (COTP) Ohio Valley or
designated representative.

from the possible marine hazards
present during the swimming portion of
this event. The event has been
advertised and is planned by the local
community. Delaying the special local
regulation would also unnecessarily
interfere with the planned event and
with the potential to affect contractual
obligations of the event sponsors.
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.
Providing a full 30 days’ notice and
delaying the effective date for this
special local regulation would be
impracticable because immediate action
is necessary to protect event
participants from the possible marine
hazards present during this swimming
event.

B. Basis and Purpose
The swim portion of the Renaissance
Man Triathlon takes place on the
Tennessee River from mile markers
256.0 to 257.5. The Coast Guard
determined that a temporary special
local regulation is needed to protect the
300 participants in the Renaissance Man
Triathlon during the swimming portion.
The legal basis and authorities for this
rulemaking establishing a special local
regulation are found in 33 U.S.C. 1233,
which authorizes the Coast Guard to
establish and define special local
regulations. The COTP Ohio Valley is
establishing a special local regulation
for the waters of the Tennessee River,
beginning at mile marker 256.0 and
ending at 257.5 to protect the
participants in the swimming portion of
the Renaissance Man Triathlon. Entry
into this area is prohibited unless
specifically authorized by the COTP
Ohio Valley or designated
representative.
C. Discussion of the Final Rule
The COTP Ohio Valley is establishing
a special local regulation for the waters
of the Tennessee River, beginning at
mile marker 256.0 and ending at 257.5,
during the swimming portion of the
Renaissance Man Triathlon. During this
event, vessels shall not enter into,
depart from, or move within the
regulated area without permission from
the COTP Ohio Valley or his authorized
representative. Persons or vessels
requiring entry into or passage through
the regulated area must request
permission from the COTP Ohio Valley,
or a designated representative. Sector
Ohio Valley may be contacted on VHF–
FM Channel 13 or 16, or 1–800–253–
7465. This rule is effective from 5:00
a.m. to 10:30 a.m. July 13, 2014. The
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:49 Jul 10, 2014
Jkt 232001
COTP Ohio Valley will inform the
public through Broadcast Notices to
Mariners (BNM) of the enforcement
period for the special local regulation as
well as any changes in the planned
schedule.
D. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this 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 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 that
Order.
This special local regulation restricts
transit on the Tennessee River from mile
marker 256.0 through 257.5 and covers
a period of five and one half hours, from
5:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. on July 13, 2014.
Due to its short duration and limited
scope, it does not pose a significant
regulatory impact. BNMs will also
inform the community of this special
local regulation so that they may plan
accordingly for this short restriction on
transit. Vessel traffic may request
permission from the COTP Ohio Valley
or a designated representative to enter
the restricted area or deviated from this
regulation. Requests to deviate from this
regulation will be considered on a caseby-case basis.
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 or operators of
vessels intending to transit mile marker
256.0 to 257.5 on the Tennessee River,
from 5:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. on July 13,
2014. The special local regulation will
not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities
because this rule will be in effect for a
short period of time. BNMs will also
PO 00000
Frm 00021
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
39973
inform the community of this special
local regulation so that they may plan
accordingly for this short restriction on
transit. Vessel traffic may request
permission from the COTP Ohio Valley
or a designated representative to enter
the restricted area.
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
INTFORMATION 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 expenditure, we
do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.
8. Taking of Private Property
This rule will not cause a taking of
private property or otherwise have
taking implications under Executive
Order 12630, Governmental Actions and
Interference with Constitutionally
Protected Property Rights.
9. Civil Justice Reform
This rule meets applicable standards
in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive
Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to
minimize litigation, eliminate
ambiguity, and reduce burden.
10. Protection of Children
We have analyzed this rule under
Executive Order 13045, Protection of
Children from Environmental Health
Risks and Safety Risks. This rule is not
an economically significant rule and
does not create an environmental risk to
health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.
11. Indian Tribal Governments
This rule does not have tribal
implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial
direct effect on one or more Indian
tribes, on the relationship between the
Federal Government and Indian tribes,
or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes.

12. Energy Effects
This action is not a ‘‘significant
energy action’’ under Executive Order
13211, Actions Concerning Regulations
That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,

13. Technical Standards
This rule does not use technical
standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus
standards.

have concluded 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 is categorically
excluded, under figure 2–1, paragraph
(34)(h), of the Instruction. This rule
involves establishing a temporary
special local regulation to protect the
participants in the swimming portion of
the Renaissance Man Triathlon on the
Tennessee River from mile markers
256.0 to 257.5 for five and one half hour
period on one day.
An environmental analysis was
performed during the marine event
permit process for the swimming event
and a checklist and a categorical
exclusion determination are not
required for this special local regulation.

NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
A. Regulatory History and Information
The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary 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)(3)(B), the Coast Guard finds that
good cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) with respect to this rule. The Coast Guard received notice on
April 7, 2014 that the Renaissance Man Triathlon is planned to take
place on July 13, 2014. The swimming portion of this event will take
place on the Tennessee River from mile 256.0 to mile 257.5. Upon
reviewing the details of this event, the Coast Guard determined that a
special local regulation is necessary during the event's swimming
portion, taking place on the Tennessee River. Completing the full NPRM
process is contrary to the public interest as it would delay the
additional safety measures necessary to protect participants and event
personnel
[[Page 39973]]
from the possible marine hazards present during the swimming portion of
this event. The event has been advertised and is planned by the local
community. Delaying the special local regulation would also
unnecessarily interfere with the planned event and with the potential
to affect contractual obligations of the event sponsors.
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. Providing a full 30
days' notice and delaying the effective date for this special local
regulation would be impracticable because immediate action is necessary
to protect event participants from the possible marine hazards present
during this swimming event.
B. Basis and Purpose
The swim portion of the Renaissance Man Triathlon takes place on
the Tennessee River from mile markers 256.0 to 257.5. The Coast Guard
determined that a temporary special local regulation is needed to
protect the 300 participants in the Renaissance Man Triathlon during
the swimming portion. The legal basis and authorities for this
rulemaking establishing a special local regulation are found in 33
U.S.C. 1233, which authorizes the Coast Guard to establish and define
special local regulations. The COTP Ohio Valley is establishing a
special local regulation for the waters of the Tennessee River,
beginning at mile marker 256.0 and ending at 257.5 to protect the
participants in the swimming portion of the Renaissance Man Triathlon.
Entry into this area is prohibited unless specifically authorized by
the COTP Ohio Valley or designated representative.
C. Discussion of the Final Rule
The COTP Ohio Valley is establishing a special local regulation for
the waters of the Tennessee River, beginning at mile marker 256.0 and
ending at 257.5, during the swimming portion of the Renaissance Man
Triathlon. During this event, vessels shall not enter into, depart
from, or move within the regulated area without permission from the
COTP Ohio Valley or his authorized representative. Persons or vessels
requiring entry into or passage through the regulated area must request
permission from the COTP Ohio Valley, or a designated representative.
Sector Ohio Valley may be contacted on VHF-FM Channel 13 or 16, or 1-
800-253-7465. This rule is effective from 5:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. July
13, 2014. The COTP Ohio Valley will inform the public through Broadcast
Notices to Mariners (BNM) of the enforcement period for the special
local regulation as well as any changes in the planned schedule.
D. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this 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 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 that Order.
This special local regulation restricts transit on the Tennessee
River from mile marker 256.0 through 257.5 and covers a period of five
and one half hours, from 5:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. on July 13, 2014. Due
to its short duration and limited scope, it does not pose a significant
regulatory impact. BNMs will also inform the community of this special
local regulation so that they may plan accordingly for this short
restriction on transit. Vessel traffic may request permission from the
COTP Ohio Valley or a designated representative to enter the restricted
area or deviated from this regulation. Requests to deviate from this
regulation will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
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 or operators of vessels intending to transit
mile marker 256.0 to 257.5 on the Tennessee River, from 5:00 a.m. to
10:30 a.m. on July 13, 2014. The special local regulation will not have
a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
because this rule will be in effect for a short period of time. BNMs
will also inform the community of this special local regulation so that
they may plan accordingly for this short restriction on transit. Vessel
traffic may request permission from the COTP Ohio Valley or a
designated representative to enter the restricted area.
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
INTFORMATION 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 expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in
this preamble.
8. Taking of Private Property
This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.
9. Civil Justice Reform
This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.
10. Protection of Children
We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.
11. Indian Tribal Governments
This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.
12. Energy Effects
This action is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive
Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.
13. Technical Standards
This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.
14. Environment
We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
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 is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(h), of
the Instruction. This rule involves establishing a temporary special
local regulation to protect the participants in the swimming portion of
the Renaissance Man Triathlon on the Tennessee River from mile markers
256.0 to 257.5 for five and one half hour period on one day.
An environmental analysis was performed during the marine event
permit process for the swimming event and a checklist and a categorical
exclusion determination are not required for this special local
regulation.
