If we determine that one would aid this rulemaking, we will hold one at a time and place announced by a later notice in the Federal Register. B. Regulatory History and Information A Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) entitled ‘‘Safety Zones; Fireworks Displays in the Sector Columbia River Captain of the Port Zone’’ was published in the Federal Register on June 18, 2014 with the comment period ending on July 18, 2014 (see 79 FR 34669). We did not receive any comments on the proposed rule and did not receive any requests for a public meeting. A public meeting was not held. While creating the final rule, we determined that additional language should be added to the regulation in order to clarify that the coordinates for the locations of the fireworks display safety zones are approximate. Additionally, we found inconsistencies in the coordinates provided in the published NPRM for nineteen of the fireworks displays. With this SNPRM we are proposing to amend these coordinates. The inconsistencies found were in relation to the location of the safety zones for the following fireworks events: Cinco de Mayo, Tri-City Chamber of Commerce, Cedco Inc., Florence Independence Day Celebration, Ilwaco July 4th Independence Day at the Port, East County 4th of July, City of St. Helens 4th of July, Hood River 4th of July, Rufus 4th of July, Maritime Heritage Festival, Lynch Picnic, July 4th Party at the Port of Gold Beach, Roseburg Hometown 4th of July, Newport 4th of July, The Mill Casino Independence Day, Westport 100th Anniversary, Westport 4th of July, The 4th of July at Pekin Ferry, and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Light the Night. Additionally, we found a duplicate entry for the Hood River 4th of July event. C. Basis and Purpose The legal basis for this proposed rule is: 33 U.S.C. 1231; 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, and 160.5; Public Law 107–295, 116 Stat. 2064; and Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1., which collectively authorize the Coast Guard to establish regulatory safety zones for safety and environmental purposes. The proposed safety zones are being implemented to help ensure the safe navigation of maritime traffic in the Sector Columbia River Area of E:\FR\FM\24FEP1.SGM 24FEP1 9675 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 36 / Tuesday, February 24, 2015 / Proposed Rules Responsibility during fireworks displays. Fireworks displays create hazardous conditions for the maritime public because of the large number of vessels that congregate near the displays, as well as the noise, falling debris, and explosions that occur during the event. Because firework discharge sites can pose a hazard to the maritime public, these safety zones are necessary in order to restrict vessel movement and reduce vessel congregation in the proximity of the firework discharge sites. D. Discussion of the Proposed Rule This SNPRM amends the regulatory language of the proposed rule to clarify that the coordinates contained in the published table are approximate locations. The language will specify that the proposed safety zones will encompass waters within a 450 yard radius of the launch site at the approximate locations listed in the tables. This SNPRM will also remove a duplicate entry of the Hood River 4th of July event. Additionally, this SNPRM amends the positions of the following fireworks displays in the proposed rule in order to accurately reflect the approximate locations of the fireworks displays: Event name (typically) Event location Date of event Latitude Cinco de Mayo Fireworks Display ..........

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. The Coast Guard bases this finding on the fact that the safety zones listed will be in place for a limited period of time and are minimal in duration. tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS 2. Impact on Small Entities Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have considered the impact of this proposed rule on small entities. 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. (1) This proposed rule may affect the following entities, some of which may VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:04 Feb 23, 2015 Jkt 235001 day day day day day day day day day day day day in in in in in in in in in in in in July ...........

October ..... be small entities: the owners and operators of vessels intending to operate in the area covered by the safety zone. The proposed rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because the safety zones will only be in effect for a limited period of time. Additionally, vessels can still transit through the zone with the permission of the Captain of the Port. Before the effective period, we will publish advisories in the Local Notice to Mariners available to users of the river. Maritime traffic will be able to schedule their transits around the safety zone. If you think that your business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this proposed 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 proposed rule would economically affect it. 3.

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 E:\FR\FM\24FEP1.SGM 24FEP1 9676 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 36 / Tuesday, February 24, 2015 / Proposed Rules 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 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 We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This proposed 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. addition of safety zones in 33 CFR 165.1315. This proposed 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 proposed rule.

Safety Zones; Fireworks Displays in the Sector Columbia River 
Captain of the Port Zone

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to establish twenty three new 
fireworks display safety zones at various locations in the Sector 
Columbia River Captain of the Port zone. The Coast Guard previously 
published a notice of proposed rulemaking with respect to this proposed 
rule on June 18, 2014. This supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking 
changes the proposed regulation in the following respects. First, the 
Coast Guard proposes to amend the regulatory text to clarify that the 
coordinates for all safety zones addressed by the proposed rule are 
approximate. Second, the Coast Guard proposes to make corrections to 
the location of nine existing and ten new fireworks events in the 
Sector Columbia River Captain of the Port zone. Third, the Coast Guard 
will be removing a duplicate entry of the Hood River 4th of July event.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast 
Guard on or before March 26, 2015.

B. Regulatory History and Information

    A Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) entitled ``Safety Zones; 
Fireworks Displays in the Sector Columbia River Captain of the Port 
Zone'' was published in the Federal Register on June 18, 2014 with the 
comment period ending on July 18, 2014 (see 79 FR 34669). We did not 
receive any comments on the proposed rule and did not receive any 
requests for a public meeting. A public meeting was not held. While 
creating the final rule, we determined that additional language should 
be added to the regulation in order to clarify that the coordinates for 
the locations of the fireworks display safety zones are approximate. 
Additionally, we found inconsistencies in the coordinates provided in 
the published NPRM for nineteen of the fireworks displays. With this 
SNPRM we are proposing to amend these coordinates. The inconsistencies 
found were in relation to the location of the safety zones for the 
following fireworks events: Cinco de Mayo, Tri-City Chamber of 
Commerce, Cedco Inc., Florence Independence Day Celebration, Ilwaco 
July 4th Independence Day at the Port, East County 4th of July, City of 
St. Helens 4th of July, Hood River 4th of July, Rufus 4th of July, 
Maritime Heritage Festival, Lynch Picnic, July 4th Party at the Port of 
Gold Beach, Roseburg Hometown 4th of July, Newport 4th of July, The 
Mill Casino Independence Day, Westport 100th Anniversary, Westport 4th 
of July, The 4th of July at Pekin Ferry, and the Leukemia and Lymphoma 
Light the Night. Additionally, we found a duplicate entry for the Hood 
River 4th of July event.

C. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for this proposed rule is: 33 U.S.C. 1231; 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, and 160.5; Public Law 107-295, 116 Stat. 2064; and 
Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1., which 
collectively authorize the Coast Guard to establish regulatory safety 
zones for safety and environmental purposes.
    The proposed safety zones are being implemented to help ensure the 
safe navigation of maritime traffic in the Sector Columbia River Area 
of

[[Page 9675]]

Responsibility during fireworks displays. Fireworks displays create 
hazardous conditions for the maritime public because of the large 
number of vessels that congregate near the displays, as well as the 
noise, falling debris, and explosions that occur during the event. 
Because firework discharge sites can pose a hazard to the maritime 
public, these safety zones are necessary in order to restrict vessel 
movement and reduce vessel congregation in the proximity of the 
firework discharge sites.

D. Discussion of the Proposed Rule

    This SNPRM amends the regulatory language of the proposed rule to 
clarify that the coordinates contained in the published table are 
approximate locations. The language will specify that the proposed 
safety zones will encompass waters within a 450 yard radius of the 
launch site at the approximate locations listed in the tables.
    This SNPRM will also remove a duplicate entry of the Hood River 4th 
of July event.
    Additionally, this SNPRM amends the positions of the following 
fireworks displays in the proposed rule in order to accurately reflect 
the approximate locations of the fireworks displays:

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. The Coast Guard bases 
this finding on the fact that the safety zones listed will be in place 
for a limited period of time and are minimal in duration.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have 
considered the impact of this proposed rule on small entities. 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.
    (1) This proposed rule may affect the following entities, some of 
which may be small entities: the owners and operators of vessels 
intending to operate in the area covered by the safety zone. The 
proposed rule will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities because the safety zones will only 
be in effect for a limited period of time. Additionally, vessels can 
still transit through the zone with the permission of the Captain of 
the Port. Before the effective period, we will publish advisories in 
the Local Notice to Mariners available to users of the river. Maritime 
traffic will be able to schedule their transits around the safety zone.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental 
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this proposed 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 proposed 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

[[Page 9676]]

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

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 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

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045, 
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety 
Risks. This proposed 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 proposed rule 
involves the amendment and addition of safety zones in 33 CFR 165.1315. 
This proposed 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 proposed rule.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 165

    Harbors, Marine safety, Navigation (water), Reporting and 
recordkeeping requirements, Security measures, Waterways.
    For the reasons discussed in the preamble, the Coast Guard proposes 
to amend 33 CFR part 165 as follows:

    (b) Special requirements. Fireworks barges or launch sites on land 
used in locations stated in this rule shall display a sign. The sign 
will be affixed to the port and starboard side of the barge or mounted 
on a post 3 feet above ground level when on land and in close proximity 
to the shoreline facing the water labeled ``FIREWORKS-DANGER-STAY 
AWAY.'' This will provide on-scene notice that the safety zone is, or 
will, be enforced on that day. This notice will consist of a diamond 
shaped sign, 4 foot by 4 foot, with a 3 inch orange retro-reflective 
border. The word ``DANGER'' shall be 10 inch black block letters 
centered on the sign with the words ``FIREWORKS'' and ``STAY AWAY'' in 
6 inch black block letters placed above and below the word ``DANGER'' 
respectively on a white background. An on-scene patrol vessel may 
enforce these safety zones at least 1 hour prior to the start and 1 
hour after the conclusion of the fireworks display.
    (c) Notice of enforcement. These safety zones will be activated, 
and thus subject to enforcement, under the following conditions: The 
Coast Guard must receive and approve a marine event permit for each 
fireworks display and then the Captain of the Port will cause notice of 
the enforcement of these safety zones to be made by all appropriate 
means to provide notice to the affected segments of the public as 
practicable, in accordance with 33 CFR 165.7(a). The Captain of the 
Port will issue a Local Notice to Mariners notifying the public of 
activation and suspension of enforcement of these safety zones. 
Additionally, an on-scene Patrol Commander may be appointed to enforce 
the safety zones by limiting the transit of non-participating vessels 
in the designated areas described above.
    (d) Enforcement period. This rule will be enforced at least one 
hour before and one hour after the duration of the event each day a 
barge or launch site with a ``FIREWORKS-DANGER-STAY AWAY'' sign is 
located within any of the above designated safety zone locations and 
meets the criteria established in paragraphs (a), (b), and (c).
    (e) Regulations. In accordance with the general regulations in 33 
CFR part 165, subpart C, no person may enter or remain in the safety 
zone created in this section or bring, cause to be brought, or allow to 
remain in the safety zone created in this section any vehicle, vessel, 
or object unless authorized by the Captain of the Port or his 
designated representative. The Captain of the Port

[[Page 9678]]

may be assisted by other Federal, State, or local agencies with the 
enforcement of the safety zone.
    (f) Authorization. All vessel operators who desire to enter the 
safety zone must obtain permission from the Captain of the Port or 
Designated Representative by contacting either the on-scene patrol 
craft on VHF Ch 13 or Ch 16 or the Coast Guard Sector Columbia River 
Command Center via telephone at (503) 861-6211.

    Dated: January 30, 2015.
D.J. Travers,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port, Sector Columbia River.
