NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
A. Regulatory History and Information
The Coast Guard is proposing to
amend the Special Local Regulation on
the waters of the Gulf of Mexico in the
vicinity of Sarasota, Florida during the
Suncoast Super Boat Grand Prix. The
event is scheduled to take place the first
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in July
from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. This final rule is
necessary to protect the safety of race
participants, participant vessels,
spectators, and the general public on the
navigable waters of the United States
during the event.
rmajette on DSK7SPTVN1PROD with RULES
B. Basis and Purpose
The legal basis for the rule is the
Coast Guard’s authority to establish
special local regulations: 33 U.S.C.
1233.
The purpose of the proposed rule is
to provide for the safety of life on
navigable waters of the United States
during the Suncoast Super Boat Grand
Prix.
C. Comments, Changes, and the Final
Rule
There were no comments related to
this event during the comment period
and there was no request for a public
meeting made during the comment
period.
This special local regulation will be
enforced annually during the first
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of July
from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The special local
regulations will establish the following
three areas: (1) A race area, where all
persons and vessels, except those
persons and vessels participating in the
high speed boat races, are prohibited
from entering, transiting through,
anchoring in, or remaining within; (2) a
spectator area, where all vessels must be
anchored or operate at No Wake Speed;
VerDate Sep<11>2014
14:16 Aug 20, 2015
Jkt 235001
and (3) an enforcement area where
designated representatives may control
vessel traffic as determined by the
prevailing conditions.
Persons and vessels may request
authorization to enter, transit through,
anchor in, or remain within the race
area or enforcement area by contacting
the Captain of the Port St. Petersburg by
telephone at (727) 824–7506, or a
designated representative via VHF radio
on channel 16. If authorization to enter,
transit through, anchor in, or remain
within the race area or enforcement area
is granted by the Captain of the Port St.
Petersburg or a designated
representative, all persons and vessels
receiving such authorization must
comply with the instructions of the
Captain of the Port St. Petersburg or a
designated representative.
D. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after
considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking.
Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes or
executive orders.
1. Regulatory Planning and Review
This rule is not a significant
regulatory action under section 3(f) of
Executive Order 12866, Regulatory
Planning and Review, as supplemented
by Executive Order 13563, Improving
Regulation and Regulatory Review, and
does not require an assessment of
potential costs and benefits under
section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866
or under section 1 of Executive Order
13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those
Orders.
The economic impact of this final rule
is not significant for the following
reasons: (1) The special local regulations
will be enforced for only seven hours a
day for three days; (2) although persons
and vessels are prohibited from
entering, transiting through, anchoring
in, or remaining within the race area or
enforcement area without authorization
from the Captain of the Port St.
Petersburg or a designated
representative, they may operate in the
surrounding area during the
enforcement period; (3) persons and
vessels may still enter, transit through,
anchor in, or remain within the race
area and enforcement area if authorized
by the Captain of the Port St. Petersburg
or a designated representative; and (4)
the Coast Guard would provide advance
notification of the special local
regulations to the local maritime
community by Local Notice to Mariners,
Broadcast Notice to Mariners and/or onscene designate representatives.

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.
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 section 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 final 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
14. Environment
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.
We have analyzed this rule under
Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023–01 and
Commandant Instruction M16475.lD,
which guide the Coast Guard in
complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and
have made a preliminary determination
that this action is one of a category of
actions that do not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on
the human environment. This rule is
categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph 34(h) of Figure
2–1 of the Commandant Instruction. A
preliminary environmental analysis
checklist supporting this determination
is available in the docket where
indicated under ADDRESSES.
8. Taking of Private Property
This rule would not cause a taking of
private property or otherwise have
taking implications under Executive
Order 12630, Governmental Actions and
Interference with Constitutionally
Protected Property Rights.
9. Civil Justice Reform
List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 100
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.
Marine safety, Navigation (water),
Reporting and recordkeeping
requirements, Waterways
For the reasons discussed in the
preamble, the Coast Guard amends 33
CFR part 100 as follows:
10. Protection of Children From
Environmental Health Risks
PART 100—SAFETY OF LIFE ON
NAVIGABLE WATERS
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 rule does not have tribal
implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it would not have a substantial
direct effect on one or more Indian
tribes, on the relationship between the
Federal Government and Indian tribes,
or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes.

12. Energy Effects
This rule is not a ‘‘significant energy
action’’ under Executive Order 13211,
Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use.
13. Technical Standards
This rule does not use technical
standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus
standards.

A. Regulatory History and Information
The Coast Guard is proposing to amend the Special Local Regulation
on the waters of the Gulf of Mexico in the vicinity of Sarasota,
Florida during the Suncoast Super Boat Grand Prix. The event is
scheduled to take place the first Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in July
from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. This final rule is necessary to protect the

C. Comments, Changes, and the Final Rule
There were no comments related to this event during the comment
period and there was no request for a public meeting made during the
comment period.
This special local regulation will be enforced annually during the
first Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of July from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The
special local regulations will establish the following three areas: (1)
A race area, where all persons and vessels, except those persons and
vessels participating in the high speed boat races, are prohibited from
entering, transiting through, anchoring in, or remaining within; (2) a
spectator area, where all vessels must be anchored or operate at No
Wake Speed; and (3) an enforcement area where designated

Persons and vessels may request authorization to enter, transit
through, anchor in, or remain within the race area or enforcement area
by contacting the Captain of the Port St. Petersburg by telephone at
(727) 824-7506, or a designated representative via VHF radio on channel

within the race area or enforcement area is granted by the Captain of
the Port St. Petersburg or a designated representative, all persons and
vessels receiving such authorization must comply with the instructions
of the Captain of the Port St. Petersburg or a designated
representative.
D. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes or executive orders.
1. Regulatory Planning and Review
This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders.
The economic impact of this final rule is not significant for the
following reasons: (1) The special local regulations will be enforced
for only seven hours a day for three days; (2) although persons and
vessels are prohibited from entering, transiting through, anchoring in,
or remaining within the race area or enforcement area without
authorization from the Captain of the Port St. Petersburg or a
designated representative, they may operate in the surrounding area
during the enforcement period; (3) persons and vessels may still enter,
transit through, anchor in, or remain within the race area and
enforcement area if authorized by the Captain of the Port St.
Petersburg or a designated representative; and (4) the Coast Guard
would provide advance notification of the special local regulations to
the local maritime community by Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast
Notice to Mariners and/or on-scene designate representatives.
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.
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
section 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 final 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 expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.
8. Taking of Private Property
This rule would not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.
9. Civil Justice Reform
This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.
10. Protection of Children From Environmental Health Risks
We have analyzed this 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 rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it would not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.
12. Energy Effects
This rule is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive
Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.
13. Technical Standards
This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.
14. Environment
We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have made a
preliminary determination that this action is one of a category of
actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant
effect on the human environment. This rule is categorically excluded
from further review under paragraph 34(h) of Figure 2-1 of the
Commandant Instruction. A preliminary environmental analysis checklist
supporting this determination is available in the docket where
indicated under ADDRESSES.
