Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 180 / Friday, September 16, 2016 / Rules and Regulations
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 Order 13132.
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, KY
the aggregate, or by the private sector of
$100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or
more in any one year. Though this rule
will not result in such expenditure, we
do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.
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 a
special local regulation lasting less than
five hours a day that will prohibit entry

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
§ Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background Information and
Regulatory History
On February 03, 2016, the ‘‘5 to the
5’’ Vintage Hydros Organization notified
the Coast Guard that it will be
sponsoring a high-speed boat race from
8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on September 17
and September 18, 2016. The race will
take place at Ohio River mile 557.5 to
558.5 in the vicinity of Madison, IN.
The Captain of the Port Ohio Valley
(COTP) has determined that potential
hazards associated with the high-speed
regatta would be a safety concern for
anyone within in the proposed
regulated area.
The Coast Guard is issuing this
temporary rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment pursuant to
authority under section 4(a) of the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision
authorizes an agency to issue a rule
without prior notice and opportunity to
comment when the agency for good
cause finds that those procedures are
‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that
good cause exists for not publishing a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because there
is not time to complete the NPRM
process due to unforeseen
administrative delays. This event has
been advertised to the local community
and waterway users and it would be
impracticable solicit public comment
for this event because it must be in
place on September 17 and September
18, 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.
This rule is necessary for the safety of
life during high-speed boat races on this
section of navigable waters. It would be
impracticable to delay this rule to
provide a full 30 days notice because
the event is scheduled and has been
advertised to the local community to
take place on September 17 and
September 18, 2016.
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 deemed the potential hazards
associated with the high-speed boat
races to occur September 17 and
September 18, 2016 will be a safety
concern for anyone within the regulated
area. The purpose of this rulemaking is
to ensure the safety of vessels and
spectators within the regulated area
before, during, and after the scheduled
event.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
As noted above, the Coast Guard will
establish a special local regulation from
8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on September 17
and September 18, 2016. The special
local regulation will cover all navigable
waters from mile 557.5 to 558.5 on the
Ohio River in the vicinity of Madison,
IN. The duration of the regulated area is
intended to ensure the safety of vessels
and these navigable waters before,
during, and after the scheduled event.
No vessel or person will be permitted to
enter the special local regulation
without obtaining permission from the
COTP or a designated representative.
Deviation requests will be considered
and reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
The COTP Ohio Valley may be
contacted by telephone at 1–800–253–
7475 or can be reached by VHF–FM
channel 16. Public notifications will be
made to the local maritime community
prior to the event through the Local
Notice to Mariners, and Broadcast
Notice to Mariners.
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 the
First Amendment rights of protestors.
