SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
current Federal oil valuation regulations
have been in effect since 2000, with a
subsequent amendment relating,
primarily, to the use of index pricing in
some circumstances. The current
Federal gas valuation regulations have
been in effect since March 1, 1988, with
various subsequent amendments
relating, primarily, to the transportation
allowance provisions. The current
Federal and Indian coal valuation
regulations have been in effect since
March 1, 1989, with minor subsequent
amendments relating, primarily, to the
Federal black lung excise taxes,
abandoned mine lands fees, State and
local severance taxes, and washing and
transportation allowance provisions. In
the years since we wrote these
regulations, the Secretary of the
Interior’s (Secretary) responsibility to
determine the royalty value of minerals
produced has not changed, but the
industry and marketplace have changed
dramatically. ONRR proposes these
amendments to our valuation
regulations to permit the Secretary to
discharge the Department of the
Interior’s (Department) royalty valuation
responsibility in an environment of
continuing and accelerating change in
the industry and in the marketplace.
The Secretary’s responsibilities
regarding oil and gas production from
Federal leases and coal production from
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00015
Fmt 4702

Federal and Indian leases require the
development of flexible valuation
methodologies that lessees can
accurately comply with in a timely
manner.
To increase the effectiveness and
efficiency of our rules, ONRR is
proposing proactive and innovative
changes. We intend for this proposed
rulemaking to provide regulations that
(1) offer greater simplicity, certainty,
clarity, and consistency in product
valuation for mineral lessees and
mineral revenue recipients; (2) are more
understandable; (3) decrease industry’s
cost of compliance and ONRR’s cost to
ensure industry compliance; and (4)
provide early certainty to industry and
to ONRR that companies have paid
every dollar due. Therefore, ONRR
proposes to amend the current
regulations at 30 CFR part 1202, subpart
F, and part 1206, subparts C, D, F, and
J, governing the valuation, for royalty
purposes, of oil, gas, and coal produced
from Federal leases and coal produced
from Indian leases.
ONRR received requests for an
extension to the comment deadline for
this proposed rule. This action extends
the comment period until May 8, 2015.
ONRR believes that this extension
allows adequate time for interested
parties to submit comments. ONRR will
review and carefully consider all
comments that we receive on the
proposed rule.

B. Regulatory History and Information
The special local regulations listed in
33 CFR 100.501 and safety zones listed
in 33 CFR 165.506 were last amended
on July 21, 2014 (79 FR 42197).
C. Basis and Purpose
This rulemaking is authorized by 33
U.S.C. 1231, 1233; 46 U.S.C. Chapter
701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191, 195; 33
CFR 1.05–1, 6.04–1, 6.04–6, 160.5;
Public Law 107–295, 116 Stat. 2064; and
DHS Delegation No. 0170.1. It updates
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
Fifth Coast Guard District area of
responsibility (AOR). 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 Proposed Rule
Special Local Regulations
This rule would add 2 new special
local regulations for marine events,
remove 1 regulation and revise 10
previously established regulations for
marine events listed in the Table to
§ 100.501. Other than changes to the
dates and locations of certain events, the
other provisions in 33 CFR 100.501
remain unchanged.
The Coast Guard proposes to revise
regulations at 33 CFR 100.501 by adding
2 new special local regulations. The
proposed special local regulations are
listed in TABLE 1, including reference

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.

than changes to the dates and locations
of certain safety zones, the other
provisions in 33 CFR 165.506 remain

The Coast Guard proposes to revise
the regulations at 33 CFR 165.506 by

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 commander on
scene, as provided for in 33 CFR 165.23.
This rule provides for the safety of life
on navigable waters during the events.

E. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed rule after
considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking.
Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes or
executive orders.
1. Regulatory Planning and Review
This proposed rule is not a significant
regulatory action under section 3(f) of
Executive Order 12866, Regulatory
Planning and Review, as supplemented
by Executive Order 13563, Improving
Regulation and Regulatory Review, and
does not require an assessment of
potential costs and benefits under
section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866
or under section 1 of Executive Order
13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those
Orders.
We expect the economic impact of
this rule to be so minimal that a full
VerDate Sep<11>2014

(date/coordinates)
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 usually
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 typically 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 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.
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.

dates.
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 proposed rule. If the
rule would affect your small business,
organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions
concerning its provisions or options for
compliance, please contact the person
listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT, above. The Coast Guard will
not retaliate against small entities that
question or complain about this
proposed rule or any policy or action of
the Coast Guard.

4. Collection of Information
This proposed rule will not call for a
new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501–3520.).
5. Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism
under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national government and
the States, or on the distribution of
power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government. We have
analyzed this proposed rule under that
Order and determined that this rule
does not have implications for
federalism.
6. Protest Activities
The Coast Guard respects the First
Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the
person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to
coordinate protest activities so that your
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.
wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
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,
VerDate Sep<11>2014
13:53 Feb 12, 2015
Jkt 235001
Protection of Children from
Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This rule is not an economically
significant rule and would not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to
safety that might disproportionately
affect children.
11. Indian Tribal Governments
This proposed rule does not have
tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and
Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would not have
a substantial direct effect on one or
more Indian tribes, on the relationship
between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of
power and responsibilities between the
Federal Government and Indian tribes.
12. Energy Effects
This proposed rule is not a
‘‘significant energy action’’ under
Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use.
13. Technical Standards
This proposed rule does not use
technical standards. Therefore, we did
not consider the use of voluntary
consensus standards.
14. Environment
We have analyzed this proposed rule
under Department of Homeland
Security Management Directive 023–01
and Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guide the Coast
Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA)(42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and
have 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 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
PO 00000
Frm 00019
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
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.

Special Local Regulations and Safety Zones; Recurring Marine
Events and Fireworks Displays Within the Fifth Coast Guard District
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to amend the regulations established
for recurring marine events and fireworks displays that take place
within the Fifth Coast Guard District area of responsibility. Under
that rule, the list
[[Page 7995]]
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.
When these regulations are enforced, certain restrictions are placed on
marine traffic in specified areas. 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: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before March 16, 2015.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number using
any one of the following methods:

B. Regulatory History and Information
The special local regulations listed in 33 CFR 100.501 and safety
zones listed in 33 CFR 165.506 were last amended on July 21, 2014 (79
FR 42197).
C. Basis and Purpose
This rulemaking is authorized by 33 U.S.C. 1231, 1233; 46 U.S.C.
Chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191, 195; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-1,
6.04-6, 160.5; Public Law 107-295, 116 Stat. 2064; and DHS Delegation
No. 0170.1. It updates 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 Fifth Coast Guard District area of responsibility (AOR). 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 Proposed Rule
Special Local Regulations
This rule would add 2 new special local regulations for marine
events, remove 1 regulation and revise 10 previously established
regulations for marine events listed in the Table to Sec. 100.501.
Other than changes to the dates and locations of certain events, the
other provisions in 33 CFR 100.501 remain unchanged.
The Coast Guard proposes to revise regulations at 33 CFR 100.501 by
adding 2 new special local regulations. The proposed special local
regulations are listed in TABLE 1, including reference
[[Page 7996]]
by section as printed in the TABLE to Sec. 100.501.

One previously published special local regulation for marine event
would be removed from 33 CFR 100.501, i.e. ``Ragin on the River'' power
boat race that took place on the Susquehanna River, near Port Deposit,
MD.
This rule would revise 10 preexisting special local regulations
that involves change to marine event date(s) and/or coordinates. These
events are listed in TABLE 2, 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 would add 6 new safety zones, remove 1 safety zone and
revise 11 previously established safety zones listed in the Table to
Sec. 165.506. Other than changes to the dates and locations of certain
safety zones, the other provisions in 33 CFR 165.506 remain unchanged.
The Coast Guard proposes to revise the regulations at 33 CFR
165.506 by adding 6 new safety zone locations to the permanent
regulations listed in this section. The new safety zones are listed in
TABLE 3, including reference by section as printed in the Table to
Sec. 165.506.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
One safety zone would be removed from 33 CFR 165.506, specifically,
the fireworks display that took place over the Potomac River, near
Newburg, MD.
The rule would revise 11 preexisting safety zones that involves
change to event date(s) and coordinates. These
[[Page 7997]]
revised safety zones are shown in Table 4, 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 commander on scene, as provided
for in 33 CFR 165.23. This rule provides for the safety of life on
navigable waters during the events.
E. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on a number of these statutes or executive orders.
1. Regulatory Planning and Review
This proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review,
as supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders.
We expect the economic impact of this 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 usually 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 typically 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 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. 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 proposed rule. If the rule would affect
your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you
have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT, above. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this proposed rule or any
policy or action of the Coast Guard.
[[Page 7998]]
4. Collection of Information
This proposed rule will not call for a new collection of
information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520.).
5. Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and
determined that this rule does not have implications for federalism.
6. Protest Activities
The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the For Further
Information Contact section to coordinate protest activities so that
your 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 rule is not an economically significant rule and would not
create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.
11. Indian Tribal Governments
This proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.
12. Energy Effects
This proposed rule is not a ``significant energy action'' under
Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.
13. Technical Standards
This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.
14. Environment
We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA)(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have
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 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.
