Coast Guard, DHS.
Notice of proposed rulemaking.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard proposes to
establish a safety zone for certain waters
of the Willamette River in the vicinity
of Tom McCall Waterfront Park,
Portland, OR. This action is necessary to
provide for the safety of life on these
navigable waters for the duration of the
marine event on July 10, 2016. This
proposed rulemaking would prohibit
persons and vessels from being in the
safety zone unless authorized by the
asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:28 Mar 17, 2016
Jkt 238001
Captain of the Port Sector Columbia
River or a designated representative. We
invite your comments on this proposed
rulemaking.
DATES: Comments and related material
must be received by the Coast Guard on
or before April 18, 2016.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
identified by docket number USCG–
2016–0163 using the Federal
eRulemaking Portal at https://
www.regulations.gov. See the ‘‘Public
Participation and Request for
Comments’’ portion of the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for
further instructions on submitting
comments.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If
you have questions about this proposed
rulemaking, call or email Ken
Lawrenson, Waterways Management
Division, Marine Safety Unit Portland,
U.S. Coast Guard; telephone 503–240–
9319, email msupdxwwm@uscg.mil.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
II. Background, Purpose, and Legal
Basis
On December 22, 2015, the Human
Access Project notified the Coast Guard
that it will be conducting a marine event
from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on July 10, 2016,
for The Big Float. This event will be a
group inner-tube float of the Willamette
River in downtown Portland from the
Marquam Bridge to Tom McCall
Waterfront Park. The Captain of the Port
Sector Columbia River (COTP) has
determined that the potential hazards
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
associated with this marine event would
be a safety concern for anyone transiting
between the Hawthorne Bridge and
Marquam Bridge. The purpose of this
rulemaking is to ensure the safety of
persons, vessels, and the navigable
waters before, during, and after the
scheduled event. The Coast Guard
proposes this rulemaking under
authority in 33 U.S.C. 1231.
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
The COTP proposes to establish a
safety zone from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on
July 7, 2016. The safety zone would
cover all navigable waters within a
straight line from the Hawthorne Bridge
to the Marquam Bridge extending
approximately 200 yards from the shore
east into the Willamette River. The
duration of the zone is intended to
ensure the safety of event participants,
vessels and these navigable waters
during the event scheduled from 10 a.m.
to 7 p.m.. No vessel or person would be
permitted to enter the safety zone
without obtaining permission from the
COTP or a designated representative.
The regulatory text we are proposing
appears at the end of this document.
IV. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed rule after
considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking.
Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and
Executive orders and we discuss First
Amendment rights of protestors.
A. Regulatory Planning and Review
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
direct agencies to assess the costs and
benefits of available regulatory
alternatives and, if regulation is
necessary, to select regulatory
approaches that maximize net benefits.
E:\FR\FM\18MRP1.SGM
18MRP1
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 53 / Friday, March 18, 2016 / Proposed Rules
asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the
importance of quantifying both costs
and benefits, of reducing costs, of
harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. This NPRM has not been
designated a ‘‘significant regulatory
action,’’ under Executive Order 12866.
Accordingly, the NPRM has not been
reviewed by the Office of Management
and Budget.
This regulatory action determination
is based on the size, location, duration,
and time-of-day of the safety zone.
Vessel traffic, including passenger
vessels and barges, would be able to
transit around this safety zone which
would impact only a small designated
area of the Willamette River. Moreover,
the Coast Guard would issue a
Broadcast Notice to Mariners via VHF–
FM marine channel 16 about the zone,
and the rule would allow vessels to seek
permission to enter the zone.
B. Impact on Small Entities
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of
1980, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, as amended,
requires Federal agencies to consider
the potential impact of regulations on
small entities during rulemaking. The
term ‘‘small entities’’ comprises small
businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and
operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions
with populations of less than 50,000.
The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C.
605(b) that this proposed rule would not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities.
While some owners or operators of
vessels intending to transit the safety
zone may be small entities, for the
reasons stated in section IV.A above this
proposed rule would not have a
significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator.
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.
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. The Coast Guard will
not retaliate against small entities that
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:28 Mar 17, 2016
Jkt 238001
question or complain about this
proposed rule or any policy or action of
the Coast Guard.
C. Collection of Information
This proposed rule would not call for
a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520).
D. Federalism and Indian Tribal
Governments
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 have determined that it is
consistent with the fundamental
federalism principles and preemption
requirements described in Executive
Order 13132.
Also, 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.
If you believe this proposed rule has
implications for federalism or Indian
tribes, please contact the person listed
in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section.
E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires
Federal agencies to assess the effects of
their discretionary regulatory actions. In
particular, the Act addresses actions
that may result in the expenditure by a
State, local, or tribal government, in the
aggregate, or by the private sector of
$100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or
more in any one year. Though this
proposed rule would not result in such
an expenditure, we do discuss the
effects of this rule elsewhere in this
preamble.
F. 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 (42
U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and have made a
preliminary determination that this
PO 00000
Frm 00007
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
14807
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 a safety zone that would
prohibit entry within 200 yards of the
Tom McCall Waterfront Park between
the Hawthorne Bridge and Marquam
Bridge. Normally such actions are
categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph 34(g) of Figure
2–1 of Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD. A preliminary
environmental analysis checklist and
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.
G. 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.
V. Public Participation and Request for
Comments
We view public participation as
essential to effective rulemaking, and
will consider all comments and material
received during the comment period.
Your comment can help shape the
outcome of this rulemaking. If you
submit a comment, please include the
docket number for this rulemaking,
indicate the specific section of this
document to which each comment
applies, and provide a reason for each
suggestion or recommendation.

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec. Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis
On December 22, 2015, the Human Access Project notified the Coast
Guard that it will be conducting a marine event from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
on July 10, 2016, for The Big Float. This event will be a group inner-
tube float of the Willamette River in downtown Portland from the
Marquam Bridge to Tom McCall Waterfront Park. The Captain of the Port
Sector Columbia River (COTP) has determined that the potential hazards
associated with this marine event would be a safety concern for anyone
transiting between the Hawthorne Bridge and Marquam Bridge. The purpose
of this rulemaking is to ensure the safety of persons, vessels, and the
navigable waters before, during, and after the scheduled event. The
Coast Guard proposes this rulemaking under authority in 33 U.S.C. 1231.
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
The COTP proposes to establish a safety zone from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
on July 7, 2016. The safety zone would cover all navigable waters
within a straight line from the Hawthorne Bridge to the Marquam Bridge
extending approximately 200 yards from the shore east into the
Willamette River. The duration of the zone is intended to ensure the
safety of event participants, vessels and these navigable waters during
the event scheduled from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.. No vessel or person would
be permitted to enter the safety zone without obtaining permission from
the COTP or a designated representative. The regulatory text we are
proposing appears at the end of this document.
IV. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders and
we discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.
A. Regulatory Planning and Review
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits.
[[Page 14807]]
Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both
costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of
promoting flexibility. This NPRM has not been designated a
``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866.
Accordingly, the NPRM has not been reviewed by the Office of Management
and Budget.
This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, duration, and time-of-day of the safety zone. Vessel traffic,
including passenger vessels and barges, would be able to transit around
this safety zone which would impact only a small designated area of the
Willamette River. Moreover, the Coast Guard would issue a Broadcast
Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16 about the zone, and the
rule would allow vessels to seek permission to enter the zone.
B. Impact on Small Entities
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this
proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
IV.A above this proposed rule would not have a significant economic
impact on any vessel owner or operator.
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.
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. 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.
C. Collection of Information
This proposed rule would not call for a new collection of
information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520).
D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments
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
have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
Also, 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. If
you believe this proposed rule has implications for federalism or
Indian tribes, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section.
E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this proposed rule would not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.
F. 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 (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 a safety
zone that would prohibit entry within 200 yards of the Tom McCall
Waterfront Park between the Hawthorne Bridge and Marquam Bridge.
Normally such actions are categorically excluded from further review
under paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2-1 of Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD. A preliminary environmental analysis checklist and
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.
G. 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.
