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 which do not
individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human
environment. This rule involves the
establishment of a special local
regulation issued in conjunction with a
regatta or marine parade, and, therefore
it is categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph 34(h) of Figure
2–1 of the Commandant Instruction.
During the annual permitting process
for this event an environmental analysis
was conducted, and thus, no
preliminary environmental analysis
checklist or Categorical Exclusion
Determination (CED) are required for
this rulemaking action. We seek any
comments or information that may lead
to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this rule.

Final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard is issuing a
final rule that revises the list of special
local regulations and safety zones
established for recurring marine events
and fireworks displays that take place
within the Fifth Coast Guard District
area of responsibility. Under this rule,
the list of recurring marine events
requiring special local regulations or
safety zones is updated with revisions,
additional events, and removal of events
that no longer take place in the Fifth
Coast Guard District. 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: This rule is effective May 18,
2015.

NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
A. 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).
On February 13, 2015, we published
a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled ‘‘Special Local
Regulations and Safety Zones; Recurring
Marine Events and Fireworks Displays
within the Fifth Coast Guard District’’ in
the Federal Register (80 FR 7994). We
received one favorable comment on the
proposed rule.
No public meeting was requested, and
none was held.
20419
B. Basis and Purpose
This rulemaking is authorized by 33
U.S.C. 1231, 1233; 33 CFR 1.05–1,
160.5; 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.
in the Fifth District area of
responsibility. No changes were made to
the proposed rule based upon this
comment.
C. Discussion of Comments, Changes
and the Final Rule
Coast Guard Sector Baltimore, MD
submitted changes for a special local
regulation for marine event and a safety
zone for fireworks display that were
published on February 13, 2015 in the
notice of proposed rulemaking. The
changes are included in the Table to
§ 100.501, (b.) line 23, Date. The date for
this marine event was expanded to
include the 3rd Sunday. Change was
made to the Table to § 165.506, (b.) line
1, Regulated Area. The regulated area
for this fireworks display was changed
to 500 yard radius. This change was
made to provide a larger safety buffer
within Washington Channel due to the
anticipated high density of spectator
vessels that typically congregate for this
event. These changes do not affect the
location or total number of regulated
areas previously listed in the NPRM.
One commenter generally supported
the proposed listing of all marine events

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 has revised
regulations at 33 CFR 100.501 by adding
2 new special local regulations. The
special local regulations are listed in

normal vessel traffic were to interfere
with the event. Possible hazards include
risks of participant injury or death
resulting from near or actual contact
with non-participant vessels traversing
through the regulated areas. In order to
protect the safety of all waterway users
including event participants and
spectators, this rule establishes special
local regulations for the time and
location of each marine event.
This rule prevents vessels from
entering, transiting, mooring or
anchoring within areas specifically
designated as regulated areas during the
periods of enforcement unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port
(COTP), or designated Coast Guard
Patrol Commander. The designated
‘‘Patrol Commander’’ includes Coast
Guard commissioned, warrant, or petty
officer who has been designated by the
COTP to act on their behalf. On-scene
patrol commander may be augmented
by local, State or Federal officials
authorized to act in support of the Coast
Guard.
Safety Zones
This rule adds 6 new safety zones,
removes 1 safety zone and revises 12
previously established safety zones
listed in the Table to § 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 has revised 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

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.

D. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after
considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking.
Below we summarize our analyses
based on these statutes and executive
orders.
1. Regulatory Planning and Review
This rule is not a significant
regulatory action under section 3(f) of
Executive Order 12866, Regulatory
Planning and Review, as supplemented
by Executive Order 13563, Improving
Regulation and Regulatory Review, and
does not require an assessment of
potential costs and benefits under
section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866

or under section 1 of Executive Order
13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those
Orders.
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.
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
2. Impact on Small Entities
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980
(RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601–612, as amended,
requires federal agencies to consider the
potential impact of regulations on small
entities during rulemaking. The 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 received no comments
from the Small Business Administration
on this rule. 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.
(1) 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.
(2) 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.
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
15:59 Apr 15, 2015
Jkt 235001
compliance with, Federal regulations to
the Small Business and Agriculture
Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman
and the Regional Small Business
Regulatory Fairness Boards. The
Ombudsman evaluates these actions
annually and rates each agency’s
responsiveness to small business. If you
wish to comment on actions by
employees of the Coast Guard, call 1–
888–REG–FAIR (1–888–734–3247). The
Coast Guard will not retaliate against
small entities that question or complain
about this rule or any policy or action
of the Coast Guard.
4. Collection of Information
This rule will not call for a new
collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501–3520).
5. Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism
under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national government and
the States, or on the distribution of
power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government. We have
analyzed this rule under that Order and
determined that this rule does not have
implications for federalism.
6. Protest Activities
The Coast Guard respects the First
Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the
person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to
coordinate protest activities so that your
message can be received without
jeopardizing the safety or security of
people, places or vessels.
7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires
Federal agencies to assess the effects of
their discretionary regulatory actions. In
particular, the Act addresses actions
that may result in the expenditure by a
State, local, or tribal government, in the
aggregate, or by the private sector of
$100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or
more in any one year. Though this rule
will not result in such an expenditure,
we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.
8. Taking of Private Property
This rule will not cause a taking of
private property or otherwise have
taking implications under Executive
Order 12630, Governmental Actions and
Interference with Constitutionally
Protected Property Rights.

9. Civil Justice Reform
This rule meets applicable standards
in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive
Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to
minimize litigation, eliminate
ambiguity, and reduce burden.
10. Protection of Children
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 determined that this action is one
of a category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human
environment. This rule involves
implementation of regulations within 33
CFR part 100 that apply to organized
marine events on the navigable waters
of the United States. Some marine
events by their nature may introduce
potential for adverse impact on the
safety or other interest of waterway
users or waterfront infrastructure within
or close proximity to the event area. The
category of water activities includes but
is not limited to sail boat regattas, boat
parades, power boat racing, swimming

events, crew racing, and sail board
racing. This section of the rule is
categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph 34(h) of Figure
2–1 of the Commandant Instruction. An
environmental analysis checklist
supporting this determination and a
Categorical Exclusion Determination are
not required for this section of the rule.
This rule involves implementation of
regulations at 33 CFR part 165 that
establish safety zones on navigable
waters of the United States for fireworks
events. These safety zones are enforced
for the duration of fireworks display
events. The fireworks are generally
launched from or immediately adjacent
to navigable waters of the United States.
The category of activities includes
fireworks launched from barges or at the
shoreline that generally rely on the use

The Coast Guard is changing
the operating schedule that governs the
U.S. 101 highway drawbridge also
known as Bullard’s Drawbridge, near
Bandon, Oregon. The change will allow
the drawbridge to permanently remain
in the closed-to-navigation position, no
longer opening for vessel traffic. While
there is vessel traffic on this waterway,
no one has requested a drawbridge
opening since 1998. Oregon Department
of Transportation (ODOT) owns the
bridge and requested to update the
operating schedule accordingly.

Special Local Regulations and Safety Zones; Recurring Marine
Events and Fireworks Displays Within the Fifth Coast Guard District
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is issuing a final rule that revises the list
of special local regulations and safety zones established for recurring
marine events and fireworks displays that take place within the Fifth
Coast Guard District area of responsibility. Under this rule, the list
of recurring marine events requiring special local regulations or
safety zones is updated with revisions, additional events, and removal
of events that no longer take place in the Fifth Coast Guard District.
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: This rule is effective May 18, 2015.

FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
A. 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).
On February 13, 2015, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled ``Special Local Regulations and Safety Zones; Recurring
Marine Events and Fireworks Displays within the Fifth Coast Guard
District'' in the Federal Register (80 FR 7994). We received one
favorable comment on the proposed rule.
No public meeting was requested, and none was held.
B. Basis and Purpose
This rulemaking is authorized by 33 U.S.C. 1231, 1233; 33 CFR 1.05-
1, 160.5; 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.
C. Discussion of Comments, Changes and the Final Rule
Coast Guard Sector Baltimore, MD submitted changes for a special
local regulation for marine event and a safety zone for fireworks
display that were published on February 13, 2015 in the notice of
proposed rulemaking. The changes are included in the Table to Sec.
100.501, (b.) line 23, Date. The date for this marine event was
expanded to include the 3rd Sunday. Change was made to the Table to
Sec. 165.506, (b.) line 1, Regulated Area. The regulated area for this
fireworks display was changed to 500 yard radius. This change was made
to provide a larger safety buffer within Washington Channel due to the
anticipated high density of spectator vessels that typically congregate
for this event. These changes do not affect the location or total
number of regulated areas previously listed in the NPRM.
One commenter generally supported the proposed listing of all
marine events in the Fifth District area of responsibility. No changes
were made to the proposed rule based upon this comment.
Special Local Regulations
This rule adds 2 new special local regulations for marine events,
removes 1 regulation and revises 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 has revised regulations at 33 CFR 100.501 by adding
2 new special local regulations. The special local regulations are
listed in Table 1, including reference by section as printed in the
Table to Sec. 100.501.

One previously published special local regulation for marine event
was 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 revises 10 preexisting special local regulations that
involve 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
[[Page 20420]]
normal vessel traffic were to interfere with the event. Possible
hazards include risks of participant injury or death resulting from
near or actual contact with non-participant vessels traversing through
the regulated areas. In order to protect the safety of all waterway
users including event participants and spectators, this rule
establishes special local regulations for the time and location of each
marine event.
This rule prevents vessels from entering, transiting, mooring or
anchoring within areas specifically designated as regulated areas
during the periods of enforcement unless authorized by the Captain of
the Port (COTP), or designated Coast Guard Patrol Commander. The
designated ``Patrol Commander'' includes Coast Guard commissioned,
warrant, or petty officer who has been designated by the COTP to act on
their behalf. On-scene patrol commander may be augmented by local,
State or Federal officials authorized to act in support of the Coast
Guard.
Safety Zones
This rule adds 6 new safety zones, removes 1 safety zone and
revises 12 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 has revised 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.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
D. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on these statutes and executive orders.
1. Regulatory Planning and Review
This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders.
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
[[Page 20421]]
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 received no comments from the Small Business
Administration on this rule. 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.
(1) 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.
(2) 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.
3. Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT,
above.
Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.
4. Collection of Information
This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).
5. Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and determined
that this rule does not have implications for federalism.
6. Protest Activities
The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.
7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.
8. Taking of Private Property
This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.
9. Civil Justice Reform
This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.
10. Protection of Children
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 determined
that this action is one of a category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This rule involves implementation of regulations within 33
CFR part 100 that apply to organized marine events on the navigable
waters of the United States. Some marine events by their nature may
introduce potential for adverse impact on the safety or other interest
of waterway users or waterfront infrastructure within or close
proximity to the event area. The category of water activities includes
but is not limited to sail boat regattas, boat parades, power boat
racing, swimming
[[Page 20422]]
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.
