Temporary final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard is
establishing five special local
regulations for five separate marine
events within the Coast Guard Sector
Long Island Sound (LIS) Captain of the
Port (COTP) Zone. This temporary final
rule is necessary to provide for the
safety of life on navigable waters during
these events. Entry into, transit through,
mooring or anchoring within these
regulated areas is prohibited unless
authorized by COTP Sector Long Island
Sound.
DATES: This rule is effective without
actual notice from August 13, 2015 until
4:30 p.m. on August 28, 2015. For the
purposes of enforcement, actual notice
will be used from the date the rule was
signed, July 29, 2015, until August 13,
2015.

NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
A. Regulatory History and Information
This rulemaking establishes five
special local regulations for three
regattas and two swim events. Each
event and its corresponding regulatory
history are discussed below.
Smith Point Triathlon (Swim) is a
reoccurring marine event with
regulatory history. A safety zone was
established for Smith Point Triathlon in
2014 when the Coast Guard issued a
temporary final rule entitled, ‘‘Safety
Zone; Smith Point Triathlon; Narrow
Bay; Mastic Beach, NY.’’ The NPRM in
that rulemaking was published on April,
25, 2014 in the Federal Register (79 FR
22927).
Island Beach Two Mile (Swim) is a
recurring marine event with regulatory
history. A safety zone was established
for this event on August 9, 2014 via a
temporary final rule entitled, ‘‘Special
Local Regulations and Safety Zones;
Marine Events in Captain of the Port
Long Island Sound Zone.’’ This rule was
published on August 12, 2014 in the
Federal Register (79 FR 46997).
Riverside Yacht Club JSA of LIS Opti
Champs (Regatta) is a new event with no
regulatory history.
Riverfront Dragon Boat and Asian
Festival (Regatta) is a recurring marine
event with regulatory history. A special
local regulation was established in 2014
for the Riverfront Dragon Boat and
Asian Festival when the Coast Guard
enforced 33 CFR 100.100(a)(1.7). This
event has been included in this rule due
to deviation from the location in this
cite.
War Writers Campaign Kayak for
Cause (Regatta) is a new event with no
regulatory history.
The Coast Guard is issuing this
temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment
pursuant to authority under section 4(a)
of the Administrative Procedure Act
(APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision
authorizes an agency to issue a rule
E:\FR\FM\13AUR1.SGM
13AUR1
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 156 / Thursday, August 13, 2015 / Rules and Regulations
without prior notice and opportunity to
comment when the agency for good
cause finds that those procedures are
‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that
good cause exists for not publishing a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because doing
so would be impracticable and contrary
to the public interest. There is
insufficient time to publish an NPRM
and solicit comments from the public
before these events take place. Thus,
waiting for a comment period to run
would inhibit the Coast Guard’s ability
to fulfill its mission to keep the ports
and waterways safe.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), and for the
same reasons stated in the preceding
paragraph, the Coast Guard finds that
good cause exists for making this rule
effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register.
B. Basis and Purpose
The legal basis for this temporary rule
is 33 U.S.C. 1233 which authorizes the
Coast Guard to define regulatory special
local regulations.
As discussed in the Regulatory
History and Information section, three
regattas and two swim events will take
place in the Coast Guard Sector LIS
COTP Zone between August 2, 2015,
and August 28, 2015. The COTP Long
Island Sound has determined that the
five special local regulations established
by this temporary final rule are
necessary to provide for the safety of life
on navigable waterways during those
events.
Smith Point Triathlon will have the
swim portion of the triathlon at Smith
Point County Park in Shirley, NY. The
race participants will stay within 500
feet of the shore. There will be life
guards in kayaks as safety boats.
Island Beach Two Mile Swim is a
swim event in Long Island Sound south
of Greenwich, CT. The swim course
starts at Little Captain’s Island and
follows a course towards Belle Haven,
CT turning back towards Captain’s
Island after a mile. There will be two
safety boats at each end of the swim
48437
course and fifteen life guards in kayaks
along the swim course.
Riverside Yacht Club JSA of LIS Opti
Champs is a sailing event will be held
in Captain Harbor south of Greenwich,
CT using Optimist sailboats. There will
be five boats in support of this event
and four safety boats.
Riverfront Dragon Boat and Asian
Festival is a dragon boat race and regatta
that will be held on the Connecticut
River in Hartford, CT. There will be
three safety boats in support of this
event.
War Writers Campaign Kayak for
Cause is a kayak event that starts in
Bridgeport, CT and ends in Port
Jefferson, NY across Long Island Sound.
There will be four safety boats
accompanying the race participants
across Long Island Sound.
C. Discussion of the Temporary Final
Rule
This rule establishes five special local
regulations for three regattas and two
swim events. The locations of these
special local regulations are as follows:

This rule establishes additional vessel
movement rules within areas
specifically under the jurisdiction of the
special local regulations during the
periods of enforcement unless
authorized by the COTP or designated
representative.
Public notifications will be made to
the local maritime community prior to
each event through the Local Notice to
Mariners and Broadcast Notice to

D. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after
considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking.

40°58′37″ N.; 073° 05′49″ W. (NAD 83).
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.
The Coast Guard determined that this
rulemaking is not a significant
regulatory action for the following
reasons: (1) The enforcement of these
regulated areas will be relatively short
in duration, (2) persons or vessels
desiring entry into the ‘‘No Entry’’ area
or a deviance from the stipulations
within the ‘‘Slow/No Wake Area’’ may
be authorized to do so by the COTP
Sector Long Island Sound or designated
representative, (3) vessels can operate
within the regulated area provided they
do so in accordance with the regulation
and (4) before the effective period,

means, which may include but are not
limited to the Local Notice to Mariners
as well as Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
various levels of government. We have
analyzed this rule under that Order and
determined that this rule does not have
implications for federalism.
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 rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
This temporary final rule will affect
the following entities, some of which
may be small entities: The owners or
operators of vessels intending to enter,
transit, anchor, or moor within a
regulated area during the periods of
enforcement, from August 2, 2015 to
August 28, 2015. However, this
temporary final rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for
the same reasons discussed in the
Regulatory Planning and Review
section.
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.
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 rule will not call for a new
collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501–3520).

7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires
Federal agencies to assess the effects of
their discretionary regulatory actions. In
particular, the Act addresses actions
that may result in the expenditure by a
State, local, or tribal government, in the
aggregate, or by the private sector of
$100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or
more in any one year. Though this rule
will not result in such expenditure, we
do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.
8. Taking of Private Property
This rule will not cause a taking of
private property or otherwise have
taking implications under Executive
Order 12630, Governmental Actions and
Interference with Constitutionally
Protected Property Rights.
9. Civil Justice Reform
This rule meets applicable standards
in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive
Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to
minimize litigation, eliminate
ambiguity, and reduce burden.
10. Protection of Children 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
does not create an environmental risk to
health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.
11. Indian Tribal Governments
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

6. Protest Activities
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 the
establishment of special local
regulations. 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. We seek any
comments or information that may lead
to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this rule.

NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
A. Regulatory History and Information
This rulemaking establishes five special local regulations for
three regattas and two swim events. Each event and its corresponding
regulatory history are discussed below.
Smith Point Triathlon (Swim) is a reoccurring marine event with
regulatory history. A safety zone was established for Smith Point
Triathlon in 2014 when the Coast Guard issued a temporary final rule
entitled, ``Safety Zone; Smith Point Triathlon; Narrow Bay; Mastic
Beach, NY.'' The NPRM in that rulemaking was published on April, 25,
2014 in the Federal Register (79 FR 22927).
Island Beach Two Mile (Swim) is a recurring marine event with
regulatory history. A safety zone was established for this event on
August 9, 2014 via a temporary final rule entitled, ``Special Local
Regulations and Safety Zones; Marine Events in Captain of the Port Long
Island Sound Zone.'' This rule was published on August 12, 2014 in the
Federal Register (79 FR 46997).
Riverside Yacht Club JSA of LIS Opti Champs (Regatta) is a new
event with no regulatory history.
Riverfront Dragon Boat and Asian Festival (Regatta) is a recurring
marine event with regulatory history. A special local regulation was
established in 2014 for the Riverfront Dragon Boat and Asian Festival
when the Coast Guard enforced 33 CFR 100.100(a)(1.7). This event has
been included in this rule due to deviation from the location in this
cite.
War Writers Campaign Kayak for Cause (Regatta) is a new event with
no regulatory history.
The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section
4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule
[[Page 48437]]
without prior notice and opportunity to comment when the agency for
good cause finds that those procedures are ``impracticable,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for not
publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) with respect to this
rule because doing so would be impracticable and contrary to the public
interest. There is insufficient time to publish an NPRM and solicit
comments from the public before these events take place. Thus, waiting
for a comment period to run would inhibit the Coast Guard's ability to
fulfill its mission to keep the ports and waterways safe.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), and for the same reasons stated in the
preceding paragraph, the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for
making this rule effective less than 30 days after publication in the
Federal Register.
B. Basis and Purpose
The legal basis for this temporary rule is 33 U.S.C. 1233 which
authorizes the Coast Guard to define regulatory special local
regulations.
As discussed in the Regulatory History and Information section,
three regattas and two swim events will take place in the Coast Guard
Sector LIS COTP Zone between August 2, 2015, and August 28, 2015. The
COTP Long Island Sound has determined that the five special local
regulations established by this temporary final rule are necessary to
provide for the safety of life on navigable waterways during those
events.
Smith Point Triathlon will have the swim portion of the triathlon
at Smith Point County Park in Shirley, NY. The race participants will
stay within 500 feet of the shore. There will be life guards in kayaks
as safety boats.
Island Beach Two Mile Swim is a swim event in Long Island Sound
south of Greenwich, CT. The swim course starts at Little Captain's
Island and follows a course towards Belle Haven, CT turning back
towards Captain's Island after a mile. There will be two safety boats
at each end of the swim course and fifteen life guards in kayaks along
the swim course.
Riverside Yacht Club JSA of LIS Opti Champs is a sailing event will
be held in Captain Harbor south of Greenwich, CT using Optimist
sailboats. There will be five boats in support of this event and four
safety boats.
Riverfront Dragon Boat and Asian Festival is a dragon boat race and
regatta that will be held on the Connecticut River in Hartford, CT.
There will be three safety boats in support of this event.
War Writers Campaign Kayak for Cause is a kayak event that starts
in Bridgeport, CT and ends in Port Jefferson, NY across Long Island
Sound. There will be four safety boats accompanying the race
participants across Long Island Sound.
C. Discussion of the Temporary Final Rule
This rule establishes five special local regulations for three
regattas and two swim events. The locations of these special local
regulations are as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
This rule establishes additional vessel movement rules within areas
specifically under the jurisdiction of the special local regulations
during the periods of enforcement unless authorized by the COTP or
designated representative.
Public notifications will be made to the local maritime community
prior to each event through the Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast
Notice to Mariners.
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.
The Coast Guard determined that this rulemaking is not a
significant regulatory action for the following reasons: (1) The
enforcement of these regulated areas will be relatively short in
duration, (2) persons or vessels desiring entry into the ``No Entry''
area or a deviance from the stipulations within the ``Slow/No Wake
Area'' may be authorized to do so by the COTP Sector Long Island Sound
or designated representative, (3) vessels can operate within the
regulated area provided they do so in accordance with the regulation
and (4) before the effective period,
[[Page 48438]]
public notifications will be made to local mariners through appropriate
means, which may include but are not limited to the Local Notice to
Mariners as well as Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
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 rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
This temporary final rule will affect the following entities, some
of which may be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels
intending to enter, transit, anchor, or moor within a regulated area
during the periods of enforcement, from August 2, 2015 to August 28,
2015. However, this temporary final rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities for the same
reasons discussed in the Regulatory Planning and Review section.
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 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 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 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 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 the establishment of special local
regulations. 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. We seek any comments or information that may
lead to the discovery of a significant environmental impact from this
rule.
