Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 113 / Monday, June 13, 2016 / Rules and Regulations
II. Statutory Orders and Executive
Review
A. Executive Order 12866 and Executive
Order 13563
This final rule has been drafted and
reviewed in accordance with Executive
Order 12866, ‘‘Regulatory Planning and
Review,’’ section 1(b), The Principles of
Regulation, and Executive Order 13563,
‘‘Improving Regulation and Regulatory
Review,’’ section 1(b). This rule pertains
to agency organization, management, or
personnel matters as described by
Executive Order 12866, section 3(d)(3)
and, therefore, is not a ‘‘regulation’’ or
‘‘rule’’ as defined by that Executive
Order.
B. Executive Order 13132
This final rule will not have
substantial direct effects on the States,
on the relationship between the Federal
Government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government. Therefore, in
accordance with section 6 of Executive
Order 13132, ‘‘Federalism,’’ the
Attorney General has determined that
this regulation does not have sufficient
federalism implications to warrant the
preparation of a federalism summary
impact statement.

C. Executive Order 12988
This regulation meets the applicable
standards set forth in sections 3(a) and
3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, ‘‘Civil
Justice Reform.’’
D. Administrative Procedure Act
The revisions to the regulations in
this final rule are matters of agency
organization, procedure, and practice
that will not affect individual rights and
obligations. As such, this rule is exempt
from the usual requirements of prior
notice and comment and a 30-day delay
in the effective date. See 5 U.S.C.
553(a)(2), (b)(A), and (d)(3). Moreover,
the Department finds good cause for
exempting the rule from those
requirements. Because this final rule
makes technical corrections to improve
the clarity of the regulations, the
Department finds it unnecessary to
publish this rule for public notice and
comment. Similarly, because delaying
the effective date of this rule would
serve no purpose, the Department also
finds good cause to make this rule
effective upon publication.
E. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Attorney General, in accordance
with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5
U.S.C. 605(b), has reviewed this rule
and, by approving it, certifies that it will
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:33 Jun 10, 2016
Jkt 238001
not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities
because it pertains to personnel and
administrative matters affecting the
Department. Further, a Regulatory
Flexibility Analysis is not required for
this final rule because the Department
was not required to publish a general
notice of proposed rulemaking for this
matter.
F. Small Business Regulatory
Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996
This rule is not a major rule as
defined by section 251 of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996, 5 U.S.C. 804. This
rule will not result in an annual effect
on the economy of $100 million or
more; a major increase in costs or prices;
or significant adverse effects on
competition, employment, investment,
productivity, innovation, or on the
ability of United States-based
enterprises to compete with foreignbased enterprises in domestic and
export markets.
G. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of
1995
This rule will not result in the
expenditure by State, local, and tribal
governments, in the aggregate, or by the
private sector, of $100 million or more
in any one year; will not significantly or
uniquely affect small governments and
does not contain significant
intergovernmental mandates. Therefore,
no actions were deemed necessary
under the provisions of the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995, 2 U.S.C.
1531–1535.
H. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
This final rule does not impose any
new reporting or recordkeeping
requirements under the Paperwork
Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3521.
I. Congressional Review Act
This action pertains to agency
organization, procedure, or practice, and
does not substantially affect the rights or
obligations of non-agency parties and,
accordingly, is not a ‘‘rule’’ as that term
is used by the Congressional Review Act
(Subtitle E of the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of
1996). See 5 U.S.C. 804(3). Therefore,
the reporting requirement of 5 U.S.C.
801 does not apply.

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal
Basis
On January 25, 2008, 33 CFR 100.701
was published in the Federal Register
(73 FR 4461) to provide permanent
notice of recurring marine events in the
Seventh Coast Guard District. Since that
time, it was amended, (March 14, 2012
(77 FR 14962)) to remove several lines
in Table 100.701 with incorrect
information and to add lines regarding
marine event dates, geographic
locations, and corresponding regulated
areas. The Coast Guard is now revising
the table of events contained within this
regulation to ensure that it accurately
captures all recurring marine events in
the Seventh Coast Guard District and to
allow respective Captains of the Port
greater ease in managing events
occurring in their zones.
On January 21, 2016, the Coast Guard
published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) titled Special Local
Regulations; Marine Events in the
Seventh Coast Guard District; 81 FR
3362. There we stated why we issued
the NPRM, and invited comments on
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:33 Jun 10, 2016
Jkt 238001
our proposed regulatory action related
to this fireworks display. During the
comment period that ended February
22, 2016, we received zero comments.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
33 U.S.C. 1233 provides the legal
basis for the Coast Guard’s authority to
establish special local regulations. The
purpose of the rule is to provide for the
safety of life on the navigable waters of
the Seventh Coast Guard District during
recurring marine events.
IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes,
and the Rule
As noted above, we received no
comments on our NPRM published
January 21, 2016. The final regulatory
text implemented through this rule
made two minor changes to the table
proposed rule in the NPRM. First, the
Gasparilla Boat Parade proposed under
the COTP Zone St. Petersburg, 33 CFR
100.701(d)(2), was deleted because it is
largely duplicative of the Annual
Gasparilla Marine Parade regulation
currently implemented under 33 CFR
100.734. Second, language describing
the location of the Charleston Harbor
Christmas Parade of Boats in 33 CFR
100.734(g)(6) was changed to reflect the
renaming of ‘‘Shutes Folly’’ to ‘‘Bennis
Reach.’’ No other changes were made to
the text proposed in the NPRM.
This rule revises the list of permanent
special regulations contained in 33 CFR
100.701 for recurring marine events
within the geographic boundary of the
Seventh Coast Guard District. In general,
the Seventh Coast Guard District is
comprised of the land areas and U.S.
navigable waters adjacent to South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Puerto
Rico. For a detailed description of the
geographical area of the District and
each Coast Guard Sector, please refer to
33 CFR 3.35.
At present, there are many annually
recurring marine events within the
Seventh Coast Guard District. These
events are currently listed in a single
table, with no demarcation by which to
easily identify specific events. This
amendment to the regulation includes
breaking the table into seven distinct
sections, one for each Captain of the
Port (COTP) zone. Each event within
each COTP section will be assigned a
line number, which will result in each
event being easily identifiable based on
its location within a table and line
thereby making future editing or
enforcement of any event a more
streamlined process.
Additionally, the Coast Guard seeks to
update the regulation to ensure that it
accurately reflects all recurring events
within the Seventh District, to include
PO 00000
Frm 00012
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
marine events which started on a
recurring basis since the last revision of
this regulation and any marine events
which may have been left off of the last
revision.
Amendments to this rule will reduce
the administrative burden on the Coast
Guard by ensuring all recurring events
are represented in the table and by
minimizing the need to duplicate the
rulemaking process for repeat events.
Generally, the public will be advised of
these events and specific information,
including exact dates, specific areas,
and description of the regulated area,
through Local Notice to Mariners and
Broadcast Notice to Mariners. The
notices will contain the following
information:
(i) Name and sponsoring organization
of event;
(ii) Expected number of participants;
(iii) Course of event;
(iv) Regulated area;
(v) Spectator Area, if applicable; and
(vi) Dates and times of event and
enforcement of regulations.
The Coast Guard realizes that some
large scale events, such as those with
many participants or spectators, or those
that could severely restrict navigation or
pose a significant hazard, may still
require separate special local
regulations or safety zones that address
the specific peculiarities of the event. In
those situations, the Coast Guard will
create special local regulations or safety
zones specifically for the event, and
those regulations will supersede the
final regulations in this rule. However,
the Coast Guard believes that a majority
of the events held on the waters of the
Seventh Coast Guard District may be
adequately regulated by the
requirements of this final rule.
Due to the activities involved, the
large number of participants and
spectators present, 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
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 transiting
through the regulated areas. In order to
protect the safety of all waterway users
including event participants and
spectators, this final rule would
establish special local regulations for
the time and location of each marine
event.
This final rule will prevent 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, or
E:\FR\FM\13JNR1.SGM
13JNR1
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 113 / Monday, June 13, 2016 / Rules and Regulations
designated Coast Guard Patrol
Commander. A designated ‘‘Patrol
Commander’’ includes Coast Guard
commissioned, warrant, or petty officers
who have been designated by the
Captain of the Port to act on their behalf.
Patrol Commanders may be augmented
by local, State, or Federal officials
authorized to act in support of the Coast
Guard.
Only event sponsors, designated
participants, and official patrol vessels
will be allowed to enter regulated areas
unless otherwise given permission by
the Patrol Commander or the Captain of
the Port. Spectators may be confined to
a designated spectator area to view
events. Spectators may contact the Coast
Guard Patrol Commander to request
permission to pass through the
regulated area. If permission is granted,
spectators must pass directly through
the regulated area at safe speed and
without loitering.
The Coast Guard revises 33 CFR
100.701 by adding 18 new recurring
marine events as special local
regulations listed in this section.
Furthermore, the Coast Guard modifies
14 existing regulated areas and removes
111 regulated areas that are no longer
active.

V. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this final rule after
considering numerous statutes and
executive orders (E.O.s) related to
rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on a number of these
statutes and E.O.s, and we discuss First
Amendment rights of protestors.
A. Regulatory Planning and Review
E.O.s 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.O. 13563 emphasizes the
importance of quantifying both costs
and benefits, of reducing costs, of
harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. This rule has not been
designated a ‘‘significant regulatory
action,’’ under E.O. 12866. Accordingly,
the rule has not been reviewed by the
Office of Management and Budget.
This regulatory action determination
is based on the following factors: (1) The
regulations will be enforced for short,
predefined periods of time; (2) persons
and vessels may enter, transit through,
anchor in or otherwise access the
restricted areas with authorization from
the respective Captains of the Port; (3)
the Coast guard will provide advance
notification of the regulations to the
local community by issuing Notice of
Enforcements, Broadcast Notice to
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:33 Jun 10, 2016
Jkt 238001
Mariners, and Patrol Commanders.
Moreover, in the majority of cases,
vessels will be able to safely transit
around restricted areas.
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 received no comments
from the Small Business Administration
on this rulemaking. The Coast Guard
certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this
final 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
final rule would not have a significant
economic impact on any vessel owner
or operator.
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 final 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 final
rule or any policy or action of the Coast
Guard.
C. Collection of Information
This final 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 E.O. 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 final rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the
fundamental federalism principles and
preemption requirements described in
E.O. 13132.
PO 00000
Frm 00013
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
38073
Also, this final rule does not have
tribal implications under E.O. 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 final rule has implications
for federalism or Indian tribes, please
contact the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section
above.
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 final
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 final 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 final rule involves
amending and republication of a table of
recurring marine events for special
regulations issued in conjunction with a
regatta or marine parade. The events
themselves are permitted by the Coast
Guard before this regulation would be
utilized and the permitting process
involves a thorough environmental
review. Normally such actions are
categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph 34(h) 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 final
rule.

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.

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis
On January 25, 2008, 33 CFR 100.701 was published in the Federal
Register (73 FR 4461) to provide permanent notice of recurring marine
events in the Seventh Coast Guard District. Since that time, it was
amended, (March 14, 2012 (77 FR 14962)) to remove several lines in
Table 100.701 with incorrect information and to add lines regarding
marine event dates, geographic locations, and corresponding regulated
areas. The Coast Guard is now revising the table of events contained
within this regulation to ensure that it accurately captures all
recurring marine events in the Seventh Coast Guard District and to
allow respective Captains of the Port greater ease in managing events
occurring in their zones.
On January 21, 2016, the Coast Guard published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) titled Special Local Regulations; Marine Events in
the Seventh Coast Guard District; 81 FR 3362. There we stated why we
issued the NPRM, and invited comments on our proposed regulatory action
related to this fireworks display. During the comment period that ended
February 22, 2016, we received zero comments.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
33 U.S.C. 1233 provides the legal basis for the Coast Guard's
authority to establish special local regulations. The purpose of the
rule is to provide for the safety of life on the navigable waters of
the Seventh Coast Guard District during recurring marine events.
IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule
As noted above, we received no comments on our NPRM published
January 21, 2016. The final regulatory text implemented through this
rule made two minor changes to the table proposed rule in the NPRM.
First, the Gasparilla Boat Parade proposed under the COTP Zone St.
Petersburg, 33 CFR 100.701(d)(2), was deleted because it is largely
duplicative of the Annual Gasparilla Marine Parade regulation currently
implemented under 33 CFR 100.734. Second, language describing the
location of the Charleston Harbor Christmas Parade of Boats in 33 CFR
100.734(g)(6) was changed to reflect the renaming of ``Shutes Folly''
to ``Bennis Reach.'' No other changes were made to the text proposed in
the NPRM.
This rule revises the list of permanent special regulations
contained in 33 CFR 100.701 for recurring marine events within the
geographic boundary of the Seventh Coast Guard District. In general,
the Seventh Coast Guard District is comprised of the land areas and
U.S. navigable waters adjacent to South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and
Puerto Rico. For a detailed description of the geographical area of the
District and each Coast Guard Sector, please refer to 33 CFR 3.35.
At present, there are many annually recurring marine events within
the Seventh Coast Guard District. These events are currently listed in
a single table, with no demarcation by which to easily identify
specific events. This amendment to the regulation includes breaking the
table into seven distinct sections, one for each Captain of the Port
(COTP) zone. Each event within each COTP section will be assigned a
line number, which will result in each event being easily identifiable
based on its location within a table and line thereby making future
editing or enforcement of any event a more streamlined process.
Additionally, the Coast Guard seeks to update the regulation to
ensure that it accurately reflects all recurring events within the
Seventh District, to include marine events which started on a recurring
basis since the last revision of this regulation and any marine events
which may have been left off of the last revision.
Amendments to this rule will reduce the administrative burden on
the Coast Guard by ensuring all recurring events are represented in the
table and by minimizing the need to duplicate the rulemaking process
for repeat events. Generally, the public will be advised of these
events and specific information, including exact dates, specific areas,
and description of the regulated area, through Local Notice to Mariners
and Broadcast Notice to Mariners. The notices will contain the
following information:
(i) Name and sponsoring organization of event;
(ii) Expected number of participants;
(iii) Course of event;
(iv) Regulated area;
(v) Spectator Area, if applicable; and
(vi) Dates and times of event and enforcement of regulations.
The Coast Guard realizes that some large scale events, such as
those with many participants or spectators, or those that could
severely restrict navigation or pose a significant hazard, may still
require separate special local regulations or safety zones that address
the specific peculiarities of the event. In those situations, the Coast
Guard will create special local regulations or safety zones
specifically for the event, and those regulations will supersede the
final regulations in this rule. However, the Coast Guard believes that
a majority of the events held on the waters of the Seventh Coast Guard
District may be adequately regulated by the requirements of this final
rule.
Due to the activities involved, the large number of participants
and spectators present, 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 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 transiting through the regulated areas. In order to
protect the safety of all waterway users including event participants
and spectators, this final rule would establish special local
regulations for the time and location of each marine event.
This final rule will prevent 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, or
[[Page 38073]]
designated Coast Guard Patrol Commander. A designated ``Patrol
Commander'' includes Coast Guard commissioned, warrant, or petty
officers who have been designated by the Captain of the Port to act on
their behalf. Patrol Commanders may be augmented by local, State, or
Federal officials authorized to act in support of the Coast Guard.
Only event sponsors, designated participants, and official patrol
vessels will be allowed to enter regulated areas unless otherwise given
permission by the Patrol Commander or the Captain of the Port.
Spectators may be confined to a designated spectator area to view
events. Spectators may contact the Coast Guard Patrol Commander to
request permission to pass through the regulated area. If permission is
granted, spectators must pass directly through the regulated area at
safe speed and without loitering.
The Coast Guard revises 33 CFR 100.701 by adding 18 new recurring
marine events as special local regulations listed in this section.
Furthermore, the Coast Guard modifies 14 existing regulated areas and
removes 111 regulated areas that are no longer active.
V. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this final rule after considering numerous statutes
and executive orders (E.O.s) related to rulemaking. Below we summarize
our analyses based on a number of these statutes and E.O.s, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.
A. Regulatory Planning and Review
E.O.s 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.O. 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and
benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. This rule has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under E.O. 12866. Accordingly, the rule has not
been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget.
This regulatory action determination is based on the following
factors: (1) The regulations will be enforced for short, predefined
periods of time; (2) persons and vessels may enter, transit through,
anchor in or otherwise access the restricted areas with authorization
from the respective Captains of the Port; (3) the Coast guard will
provide advance notification of the regulations to the local community
by issuing Notice of Enforcements, Broadcast Notice to Mariners, and
Patrol Commanders. Moreover, in the majority of cases, vessels will be
able to safely transit around restricted areas.
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 received no comments from the Small Business
Administration on this rulemaking. The Coast Guard certifies under 5
U.S.C. 605(b) that this final 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 final rule would not have a significant economic impact
on any vessel owner or operator.
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 final 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 final rule or any policy or action of
the Coast Guard.
C. Collection of Information
This final 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 E.O. 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 final rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in E.O. 13132.
Also, this final rule does not have tribal implications under E.O.
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
final rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section above.
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 final 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 final 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 final rule involves amending and
republication of a table of recurring marine events for special
regulations issued in conjunction with a regatta or marine parade. The
events themselves are permitted by the Coast Guard before this
regulation would be utilized and the permitting process involves a
thorough environmental review. Normally such actions are categorically
excluded from further review under paragraph 34(h) 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 final 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.
