imposes substantial direct compliance
costs on state and local governments
and is not required by statute, or (2)
preempts state law, unless the agency
meets the consultation and funding
requirements of section 6 of the
Executive Order. This rule would not
have federalism implications and would
not impose substantial direct
compliance costs on state and local

Coast Guard, DHS.
Final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard is amending
the permanent special local regulations
for the Suncoast Offshore Challenge and
the Suncoast Offshore Grand Prix in the
Gulf of Mexico near Sarasota, Florida.
Reflected in the existing permanent
special local regulations, these two races
have nearly identical course and time
characteristics, however, one event used
to be held annually on the first Saturday
of July and the other event is held
annually on the first Sunday of July.
The sponsor has decided to combine the
events into a single day, reduce the
length of the racecourse, and modify the
time of the event. Due to recent shoaling
north of New Pass, it is necessary to
amend the existing language to close
New Pass and open Big Sarasota Pass to
traffic. The changes are necessary to
provide for the safety of life on
navigable waters during the event.
DATES: This rule is effective August 28,
2014.

NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
A. Regulatory History and Information
On February 7, 2014, a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) entitled,
‘‘Special Local Regulations; Suncoast
Offshore Grand Prix; Gulf of Mexico,
Sarasota, FL’’ was published in the
Federal Register (see 79 FR 7408). We
received no comments on the proposed
rule. No public meeting was requested,
and none was held.
The Annual Suncoast Offshore
Challenge and Annual Suncoast
Offshore Grand Prix in the Gulf of
Mexico near Sarasota, Florida are
governed by permanent regulations at
33 CFR 100.719 and 33 CFR 100.720,
respectively. The marine events are
normally held on the first Saturday and
Sunday of July between 10 a.m. and 4
p.m. Event coordinators have decided to
combine the two events to take place
annually on the first Sunday of July
between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Event
coordinators are also reducing the
length of the racecourse so that Big
Sarasota Pass channel may remain open
during the event. In recent years, areas
north of New Pass have been subjected
to shoaling. To ensure the safety of
boaters, the Coast Guard will also close
New Pass during the race because the
north end of the course is close to the
channel.
rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with RULES2
B. Basis and Purpose
The legal basis for the rule is the
Coast Guard’s authority to establish
special local regulations: 33 U.S.C.
1233.
The purpose of the regulation is to
consolidate the Annual Suncoast
Offshore Challenge at 33 CFR 100.719
and Annual Suncoast Offshore Grand
Prix 33 CFR 100.720 into a single
regulation to provide safety of life on
the navigable waters in the Captain of
the Port Saint Petersburg Zone.
C. Comments, Changes and the Final
Rule
There were no comments related to
this event during the comment period
and there was no request for a public
meeting made during the comment
period.
This final rule is necessary to
accommodate the rescheduling of the
Annual Suncoast Offshore Challenge to
the same date of the Annual Suncoast
Offshore Grand Prix race, to modify the
VerDate Mar<15>2010
14:29 Jul 28, 2014
Jkt 232001
regulated area to account for changes in
the length of the racecourse, and to
modify the passes for inbound and
outbound traffic into Sarasota Bay. The
final rule removes 33 CFR 100.719, the
existing permanent regulation for the
Annual Suncoast Offshore Challenge
scheduled for the first Saturday in July.
That event would be consolidated into
existing 33 CFR 100.720, the Annual
Suncoast Offshore Grand Prix race. The
event listed in 33 CFR 100.719 is a oneday race event to be held on the already
established Grand Prix race day,
annually on the first Sunday of July.
Under the existing special local
regulations, New Pass is open to
maritime traffic and Big Sarasota Pass is
closed to traffic. Due to recent shoaling
north of New Pass, this final rule closes
New Pass and opens Big Sarasota Pass
to inbound and outbound traffic.
Additionally, the coordinates of the
regulated area would be modified to
reflect a reduced length in the
racecourse.
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.
D. Regulatory Analyses
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).
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 those
Orders.
This regulation is not a significant
regulatory action because this change
constitutes merging and modification of
existing regulations. This rule may have
some impact on the public, but these
potential impacts will be minimized for
the following reason: Big Sarasota Pass
is within three miles of New Pass and
would allow vessels to continue to enter
and exit Sarasota Bay.
2. Impact on Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have considered
the impact of this rule on small entities.
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.

Sfmt 4700
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. 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.
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
would not result in such expenditure,
E:\FR\FM\29JYR1.SGM
29JYR1
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 145 / Tuesday, July 29, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.
8. Taking of Private Property
This 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 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.

review under paragraph 34(h) of Figure

11. Indian Tribal Governments
§ 100.720 Annual Suncoast Offshore
Grand Prix, Gulf of Mexico, Sarasota, FL.
ACTION:
(a) Regulated Area. The regulated area
is established by a line drawn from the
start line position 27°18.40′ N, 82°35.36′
W, thence to turn 1 position 27°16.74′
N, 82°34.92′ W, thence to turn 2

82°35.09′ W, thence to turn 4 position
27°18.66′ N, 82°35.45′ W, thence to the
finish line position 27°18.64′ N,
82°35.00′ W. All coordinates referenced
use datum: NAD 1983.
(b) Special local regulations. (1)
Spectator craft will be permitted to
anchor shoreward of the shoreside
boundaries, in the spectator area 500
yards from the regulated area between
position 27°18.02′ N, 82°34.42′ W and
position 27°16.85′ N, 82°34.67′ W.
(2) Spectator craft will be permitted to
anchor seaward of the seaside
boundaries, in the spectator area 500
yards from the regulated area between
position 27°18.54′ N, 82°35.56′ W and
position 27°16.64′ N, 82°35.07′ W.
(3) All vessel traffic not involved with
the Suncoast Offshore Grand Prix shall
enter and exit Sarasota Bay via Big
Sarasota Pass and stay well clear of the
racecourse.
(4) New Pass will be closed to all
inbound and outbound vessel traffic at
the COLREGS Demarcation Line.
Vessels are allowed to utilize New Pass
to access all areas inland of the
Demarcation Line via Sarasota Bay. It
may be opened at the discretion of the
Patrol Commander.
SUMMARY:
This 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 rule is not a ‘‘significant energy
action’’ under Executive Order 13211,

FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
A. Regulatory History and Information
On February 7, 2014, a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)
entitled, ``Special Local Regulations; Suncoast Offshore Grand Prix;
Gulf of Mexico, Sarasota, FL'' was published in the Federal Register
(see 79 FR 7408). We received no comments on the proposed rule. No
public meeting was requested, and none was held.
The Annual Suncoast Offshore Challenge and Annual Suncoast Offshore
Grand Prix in the Gulf of Mexico near Sarasota, Florida are governed by
permanent regulations at 33 CFR 100.719 and 33 CFR 100.720,
respectively. The marine events are normally held on the first Saturday
and Sunday of July between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Event coordinators have
decided to combine the two events to take place annually on the first
Sunday of July between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Event coordinators are also
reducing the length of the racecourse so that Big Sarasota Pass channel
may remain open during the event. In recent years, areas north of New
Pass have been subjected to shoaling. To ensure the safety of boaters,
the Coast Guard will also close New Pass during the race because the
north end of the course is close to the channel.
B. Basis and Purpose
The legal basis for the rule is the Coast Guard's authority to
establish special local regulations: 33 U.S.C. 1233.
The purpose of the regulation is to consolidate the Annual Suncoast
Offshore Challenge at 33 CFR 100.719 and Annual Suncoast Offshore Grand
Prix 33 CFR 100.720 into a single regulation to provide safety of life
on the navigable waters in the Captain of the Port Saint Petersburg
Zone.
C. Comments, Changes and the Final Rule
There were no comments related to this event during the comment
period and there was no request for a public meeting made during the
comment period.
This final rule is necessary to accommodate the rescheduling of the
Annual Suncoast Offshore Challenge to the same date of the Annual
Suncoast Offshore Grand Prix race, to modify the regulated area to
account for changes in the length of the racecourse, and to modify the
passes for inbound and outbound traffic into Sarasota Bay. The final
rule removes 33 CFR 100.719, the existing permanent regulation for the
Annual Suncoast Offshore Challenge scheduled for the first Saturday in
July. That event would be consolidated into existing 33 CFR 100.720,
the Annual Suncoast Offshore Grand Prix race. The event listed in 33
CFR 100.719 is a one-day race event to be held on the already
established Grand Prix race day, annually on the first Sunday of July.
Under the existing special local regulations, New Pass is open to
maritime traffic and Big Sarasota Pass is closed to traffic. Due to
recent shoaling north of New Pass, this final rule closes New Pass and
opens Big Sarasota Pass to inbound and outbound traffic. Additionally,
the coordinates of the regulated area would be modified to reflect a
reduced length in the racecourse.
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 those Orders.
This regulation is not a significant regulatory action because this
change constitutes merging and modification of existing regulations.
This rule may have some impact on the public, but these potential
impacts will be minimized for the following reason: Big Sarasota Pass
is within three miles of New Pass and would allow vessels to continue
to enter and exit Sarasota Bay.
2. Impact on Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered the impact of this rule on small entities. 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.
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. 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 would not result
in such expenditure,
[[Page 43935]]
we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble.
8. Taking of Private Property
This 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 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 would not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
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 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 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 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 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 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
available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES.
