Final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard is amending
and updating its special local
regulations relating to recurring marine
parades, regattas, and other events that
take place in the Coast Guard Sector
Ohio Valley area of responsibility
(AOR). This rule informs the public of
regularly scheduled events that require
additional safety measures through the
establishing of a special local regulation.
Through this rulemaking the current list
of recurring special local regulations is
updated with revisions, additional
events, and removal of events that no
longer take place in Sector Ohio Valley’s
AOR. When these special local
regulations are enforced, certain
restrictions are placed on marine traffic
in specified areas.
DATES: This rule is effective June 16,
2016.

SUMMARY:
I. Table of Abbreviations
CFR
Code of Federal Regulations
VerDate Sep<11>2014
13:07 Jun 15, 2016
Jkt 238001
The Captain of the Port (COTP) Ohio
Valley is establishing, amending, and
updating its current list of recurring
special local regulations codified under
33 CFR 100.801 in Table no. 1, for the
COTP Ohio Valley zone.
On January 25, 2016, the Coast Guard
published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) titled Sector Ohio
Valley Annual and Recurring Special
Local Regulations Update (81 FR 3976).
During the comment period that ended
April 25, 2016, the Coast Guard received
information regarding dates for three
events from the event sponsors. This
information is discussed in this
document.
We are issuing this rule, and under 5
U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds
that good cause exists for making it
effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register.
Though we are not providing a full 30day delay in the effective date, the Coast
Guard did provide notice and the
opportunity to comment through the
NPRM process and is now providing as
much notice as possible before the first
recurring event enforcement is required
on June 19. It is impracticable to
provide a full 30-days notice because
this rule must be effective June 19, 2016
to accommodate the first event.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard’s authority for
establishing a special local regulation is
contained at 33 U.S.C. 1233. The Coast
Guard is amending and updating the
special local regulations under 33 CFR
part 100 to include the most up to date
list of recurring special local regulations
for events held on or around navigable
waters within the Sector Ohio Valley
AOR. These events include marine
parades, boat races, swim events, and
others. The current list under 33 CFR
100.801 requires amending to provide
new information on existing special
local regulations, include new special
local regulations expected to recur
annually or biannually, and to remove
special local regulations that are no
longer required. Issuing individual
regulations for each new special local
regulation, amendment, or removal of
an existing special local regulation
creates unnecessary administrative costs
and burdens. This rulemaking reduces
administrative overhead and provides
the public with notice through
PO 00000
Frm 00013
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
39187
publication in the Federal Register of
the upcoming recurring special local
regulations.
IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes,
and the Rule
As noted above, we received
information regarding three recurring
events from the event sponsors during
the NPRM comment period. This
information requires changes to the
regulatory text of this rule from the
proposed rule in the NPRM. Those
changes are as follows:
Change 1: The sponsor of the
Owensboro Air show requested a
change to the proposed event date as
listed in Table 1, Line 54. Instead of
occurring 3 days during the first or
second weekend in September, the new
date will be published in the final rule
as: 3 days during one of the last three
weekends in September. This change
was requested to enable the Air Show to
take place without conflicting with
other events occurring in September.
Change 2: The sponsor of the REV3
Triathlon requested a change to the
proposed date as listed in Table 1, Line
4. Instead of occurring 1 day during the
first or second weekend in May, the new
date will be published in the final rule
as: 1 day during the third or fourth
weekend in May starting in 2016. This
change was requested due to scheduling
conflicts with other events. This final
rule was not published in time for the
May 22, 2016 occurrence of this event.
Therefore, a temporary final rule for this
event was issued on May 20, 2016. That
rule is accessible as indicated under
ADDRESSES.
Change 3: The sponsor of the HadiShrine/Evansville Freedom Festival Air
Show informed the Coast Guard that the
proposed expanded date period from 3
to 4 days was no longer needed and the
currently published date period of 3
days fits the air show portion of their
event. Therefore, the date for this event
as listed in Table 1, Line 46 will remain:
3 days during the second or third
weekend in June. The event sponsor
also informed the Coast Guard that the
2016 occurrence of this event fell on the
fourth weekend in June. Therefore, a
separate temporary final rule is being
issued to establish the necessary special
local regulation on June 24–26, 2016.
That rule is available as indicated under
ADDRESSES.
These requested changes are based on
the individual sponsors’ efforts to
coordinate events alongside others in
the local community. In some instances,
these changes have been advertised to
and planned on by the local community,
and minimally impact the dates of 3
events as listed in the NPRM. These

16JNR1
39188
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 116 / Thursday, June 16, 2016 / Rules and Regulations
revised dates are also considered within
the current environmental review.
Therefore, the Coast Guard is publishing
this final rule with the requested date
changes. All proposed new additions to
and removals from the recurring list
remain the same as in the NPRM.

V. 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 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.
Executive Order 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 Executive Order 12866.
Accordingly, it has not been reviewed
by the Office of Management and
Budget.
The Coast Guard expects the
economic impact of this rule to be
minimal, and therefore a full regulatory
evaluation is unnecessary. This rule
establishes special local regulations
limiting access to certain areas under 33
CFR part 100 within Sector Ohio
Valley’s AOR. The effect of this
rulemaking will not be significant
because these special local regulations
are limited in scope and duration.
Additionally, the public is given
advance notification through local forms
of notice, the Federal Register, and/or
Notices of Enforcement and thus will be
able to plan around the special local
regulations in advance. Deviation from
the special local regulations established
through this proposed rulemaking may
be requested from the appropriate COTP
and requests will be considered on a
case-by-case basis. Broadcast Notices to
Mariners and Local Notices to Mariners
will also inform the community of these
special local regulations so that they
may plan accordingly for these short
restrictions on transit. Vessel traffic may
request permission from the COTP Ohio
Valley or a designated representative to
enter the 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
13:07 Jun 15, 2016
Jkt 238001
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 0 comments
from the Small Business Administration
on this rulemaking. 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 rule will affect the following
entities, some of which may be small
entities: The owners or operators of
vessels intending to transit the special
local regulation areas during periods of
enforcement. The special local
regulations will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities because they
are limited in scope and will be in effect
for short periods of time. Before the
enforcement period, the Coast Guard
COTP will issue maritime advisories
widely available to waterway users.
Deviation from the special local
regulations established through this
rulemaking may be requested from the
appropriate COTP and requests will be
considered on a case-by-case basis.
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 section.
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.
C. Collection of Information
This rule will not call for a new
collection of information under the
PO 00000
Frm 00014
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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 rule under that Order and
have determined that it is consistent
with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements
described in Executive Order13132.
Also, 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. If you
believe this 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 rule
will not result in such an expenditure,
we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.
F. 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 (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 related to marine event
permits for marine parades, regattas,
and other marine events. It is
categorically excluded from further

R.V. Timme,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the
Port Ohio Valley.
ACTION:
Parkersburg, WV ....
II. Background Information and
Regulatory History
On January 25, 2016, the Coast Guard
published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) titled Sector Ohio
Valley Annual and Recurring Special
Local Regulations Update (81 FR 3976).
That proposed rulemaking included
expanding the date for this event and
related special local regulation in the
permanent list of recurring events under
33 CFR 100.801, Table 1, from 3 days to
4 days during the second or third
weekend in June. There we stated why
we issued the NPRM, and invited
comments on our proposed regulatory
action. The NPRM received no adverse
comments and the comment period
closed April 25, 2016. However, during
the comment period for the NPRM, the
sponsor of the Hadi Shrine/Evansville
Freedom Festival Air Show informed us
that the air show portion of the event
would continue to take place for only 3
days, including a practice day.
Therefore, there is no need to extend the
effective period from 3 to 4 days for this
event. However, for the 2016 occurrence
the festival dates fall on the fourth
weekend in June, so this temporary final
PO 00000
Frm 00017
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
rule is being issued for the 2016
occurrence only. It is impracticable to
publish an NPRM at this time because
this temporary final rule is necessary to
establish the special local regulation for
this year’s occurrence beginning June
24, 2016.
We are issuing this rule, and under 5
U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds
that good cause exists for making it
effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register.
Delaying this rule to provide a full 30
days notice is unnecessary as this event
is a recurring event advertised to, and
planned on, by the local community and
waterway users that are familiar with
this location on the Ohio River.
Delaying this rule would also be
contrary to public interest because
immediate action is necessary for the
safety of life during an air show taking
place over this navigable waterway.
Broadcast Notices to Mariners (BNM)
and information sharing with the
waterway users will update mariners of
the restrictions, requirements and
enforcement times during this event.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule
under authority in 33 U.S.C. 1233. The
Captain of the Port Ohio Valley (COTP)
has determined that potential hazards
associated with the air show starting
June 24, 2016 will be a safety concern
for all waters of the Ohio River, surface
to bottom, extending from mile 791.0 to
795.0. The purpose of this rule is to
ensure safety of life on the navigable
waters in the temporary regulated area
before, during, and after the Evansville
Freedom Festival Air Show.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a special local
regulation from June 24 through June
26, 2016. The special local regulation
will cover all waters of the Ohio River,

Special Local Regulations; Sector Ohio Valley Annual and
Recurring Special Local Regulations Update
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is amending and updating its special local
regulations relating to recurring marine parades, regattas, and other
events that take place in the Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley area of
responsibility (AOR). This rule informs the public of regularly
scheduled events that require additional safety measures through the
establishing of a special local regulation. Through this rulemaking the
current list of recurring special local regulations is updated with
revisions, additional events, and removal of events that no longer take
place in Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. When these special local regulations
are enforced, certain restrictions are placed on marine traffic in
specified areas.
DATES: This rule is effective June 16, 2016.

FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec. Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background Information and Regulatory History
The Captain of the Port (COTP) Ohio Valley is establishing,
amending, and updating its current list of recurring special local
regulations codified under 33 CFR 100.801 in Table no. 1, for the COTP
Ohio Valley zone.
On January 25, 2016, the Coast Guard published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) titled Sector Ohio Valley Annual and Recurring
Special Local Regulations Update (81 FR 3976). During the comment
period that ended April 25, 2016, the Coast Guard received information
regarding dates for three events from the event sponsors. This
information is discussed in this document.
We are issuing this rule, and under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for making it effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal Register. Though we are not
providing a full 30-day delay in the effective date, the Coast Guard
did provide notice and the opportunity to comment through the NPRM
process and is now providing as much notice as possible before the
first recurring event enforcement is required on June 19. It is
impracticable to provide a full 30-days notice because this rule must
be effective June 19, 2016 to accommodate the first event.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard's authority for establishing a special local
regulation is contained at 33 U.S.C. 1233. The Coast Guard is amending
and updating the special local regulations under 33 CFR part 100 to
include the most up to date list of recurring special local regulations
for events held on or around navigable waters within the Sector Ohio
Valley AOR. These events include marine parades, boat races, swim
events, and others. The current list under 33 CFR 100.801 requires
amending to provide new information on existing special local
regulations, include new special local regulations expected to recur
annually or biannually, and to remove special local regulations that
are no longer required. Issuing individual regulations for each new
special local regulation, amendment, or removal of an existing special
local regulation creates unnecessary administrative costs and burdens.
This rulemaking reduces administrative overhead and provides the public
with notice through publication in the Federal Register of the upcoming
recurring special local regulations.
IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule
As noted above, we received information regarding three recurring
events from the event sponsors during the NPRM comment period. This
information requires changes to the regulatory text of this rule from
the proposed rule in the NPRM. Those changes are as follows:
Change 1: The sponsor of the Owensboro Air show requested a change
to the proposed event date as listed in Table 1, Line 54. Instead of
occurring 3 days during the first or second weekend in September, the
new date will be published in the final rule as: 3 days during one of
the last three weekends in September. This change was requested to
enable the Air Show to take place without conflicting with other events
occurring in September.
Change 2: The sponsor of the REV3 Triathlon requested a change to
the proposed date as listed in Table 1, Line 4. Instead of occurring 1
day during the first or second weekend in May, the new date will be
published in the final rule as: 1 day during the third or fourth
weekend in May starting in 2016. This change was requested due to
scheduling conflicts with other events. This final rule was not
published in time for the May 22, 2016 occurrence of this event.
Therefore, a temporary final rule for this event was issued on May 20,
2016. That rule is accessible as indicated under ADDRESSES.
Change 3: The sponsor of the Hadi-Shrine/Evansville Freedom
Festival Air Show informed the Coast Guard that the proposed expanded
date period from 3 to 4 days was no longer needed and the currently
published date period of 3 days fits the air show portion of their
event. Therefore, the date for this event as listed in Table 1, Line 46
will remain: 3 days during the second or third weekend in June. The
event sponsor also informed the Coast Guard that the 2016 occurrence of
this event fell on the fourth weekend in June. Therefore, a separate
temporary final rule is being issued to establish the necessary special
local regulation on June 24-26, 2016. That rule is available as
indicated under ADDRESSES.
These requested changes are based on the individual sponsors'
efforts to coordinate events alongside others in the local community.
In some instances, these changes have been advertised to and planned on
by the local community, and minimally impact the dates of 3 events as
listed in the NPRM. These
[[Page 39188]]
revised dates are also considered within the current environmental
review. Therefore, the Coast Guard is publishing this final rule with
the requested date changes. All proposed new additions to and removals
from the recurring list remain the same as in the NPRM.
V. 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 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. Executive Order 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 Executive Order 12866.
Accordingly, it has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and
Budget.
The Coast Guard expects the economic impact of this rule to be
minimal, and therefore a full regulatory evaluation is unnecessary.
This rule establishes special local regulations limiting access to
certain areas under 33 CFR part 100 within Sector Ohio Valley's AOR.
The effect of this rulemaking will not be significant because these
special local regulations are limited in scope and duration.
Additionally, the public is given advance notification through local
forms of notice, the Federal Register, and/or Notices of Enforcement
and thus will be able to plan around the special local regulations in
advance. Deviation from the special local regulations established
through this proposed rulemaking may be requested from the appropriate
COTP and requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Broadcast
Notices to Mariners and Local Notices to Mariners will also inform the
community of these special local regulations so that they may plan
accordingly for these short restrictions on transit. Vessel traffic may
request permission from the COTP Ohio Valley or a designated
representative to enter the 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 0 comments from the Small Business
Administration on this rulemaking. 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 rule will affect the following entities, some of which may be
small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to transit
the special local regulation areas during periods of enforcement. The
special local regulations will not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities because they are limited in
scope and will be in effect for short periods of time. Before the
enforcement period, the Coast Guard COTP will issue maritime advisories
widely available to waterway users. Deviation from the special local
regulations established through this rulemaking may be requested from
the appropriate COTP and requests will be considered on a case-by-case
basis.
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
section.
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.
C. 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).
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 rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive
Order13132.
Also, 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. If
you believe this 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 rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.
F. 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 (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 related to
marine event permits for marine parades, regattas, and other marine
events. It is categorically excluded from further
[[Page 39189]]
review under paragraph 34(h) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant
Instruction.
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.
