§ Section
U.S.C. United States Code
COTP Captain of the Port
II. Background, Purpose, and Legal
Basis
On February 16, 2017, Great Lakes
Firewoks, LLC., notified the Coast
Guard that it will be conducting a
fireworks display from 10 to 10:30 p.m.
on July 14, 2017. In the event of
inclement weather the fireworks display
will be on July 15, 2017. The fireworks
are to be launched from a barge off
Elizabeth Park, Trenton, MI. Hazards
from firework displays include
accidental discharge of fireworks,
dangerous projectiles, and falling hot
embers or other debris. The Captain of
the Port Detroit (COTP) has determined
that potential hazards associated with
the fireworks to be used in this display
would be a safety concern for anyone
within a 350 foot radius of the fireworks
barge.
The purpose of this rulemaking is to
ensure the safety of vessels and the
navigable waters within a 350-foot
radius of the fireworks barge, 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 to 10:30 p.m. on
July 14, 2017. In the event of inclement
weather, the fireworks display will be
on July 15, 2017. The safety zone would
cover all navigable waters within 350
feet of the fireworks launch site on the
Detroit River, Trenton Channel,
Trenton, MI. The duration of the zone
is intended to ensure the safety of
vessels and these navigable waters
before, during, and after the scheduled
10 to 10:30 p.m. fireworks display. No
vessel or person would be permitted to
enter the safety zone without obtaining
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
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.
Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the
importance of quantifying both costs
and benefits, of reducing costs, of
harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. Executive Order 13771
(‘‘Reducing Regulation and Controlling
Regulatory Costs’’), directs agencies to
reduce regulation and control regulatory
costs and provides that ‘‘for every one
new regulation issued, at least two prior
regulations be identified for elimination,
and that the cost of planned regulations
be prudently managed and controlled
through a budgeting process.’’
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. As
this rule is not a significant regulatory
action, this rule is exempt from the
requirements of Executive Order 13771.
See OMB’s Memorandum titled
‘‘Interim Guidance Implementing
Section 2 of the Executive Order of
January 30, 2017 titled ‘Reducing
Regulation and Controlling Regulatory
Costs’ ’’ (February 2, 2017).
This regulatory action determination
is based on the size, location, duration,
and time-of-day of the safety zone.
Vessel traffic would be able to safely
transit around this safety zone which
would impact a small designated area of
the Detroit River less than 1 hour during
the evening when vessel traffic is
normally low. 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
E:\FR\FM\28MRP1.SGM
28MRP1
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 58 / Tuesday, March 28, 2017 / Proposed Rules
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:14 Mar 27, 2017
Jkt 241001
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 lasting less than
1 hour that would prohibit entry within
350 feet of the fireworks barge.
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.

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis
On February 16, 2017, Great Lakes Firewoks, LLC., notified the
Coast Guard that it will be conducting a fireworks display from 10 to
10:30 p.m. on July 14, 2017. In the event of inclement weather the
fireworks display will be on July 15, 2017. The fireworks are to be

firework displays include accidental discharge of fireworks, dangerous
projectiles, and falling hot embers or other debris. The Captain of the

with the fireworks to be used in this display would be a safety concern
for anyone within a 350 foot radius of the fireworks barge.
The purpose of this rulemaking is to ensure the safety of vessels
and the navigable waters within a 350-foot radius of the fireworks
barge, 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 to 10:30 p.m.
on July 14, 2017. In the event of inclement weather, the fireworks
display will be on July 15, 2017. The safety zone would cover all
navigable waters within 350 feet of the fireworks launch site on the
Detroit River, Trenton Channel, Trenton, MI. The duration of the zone
is intended to ensure the safety of vessels and these navigable waters
before, during, and after the scheduled 10 to 10:30 p.m. fireworks
display. 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. Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of
quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing
rules, and of promoting flexibility. Executive Order 13771 (``Reducing
Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs''), directs agencies to
reduce regulation and control regulatory costs and provides that ``for
every one new regulation issued, at least two prior regulations be
identified for elimination, and that the cost of planned regulations be
prudently managed and controlled through a budgeting process.''
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. As this rule is
not a significant regulatory action, this rule is exempt from the
requirements of Executive Order 13771. See OMB's Memorandum titled
``Interim Guidance Implementing Section 2 of the Executive Order of
January 30, 2017 titled `Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory
Costs' '' (February 2, 2017).
This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, duration, and time-of-day of the safety zone. Vessel traffic
would be able to safely transit around this safety zone which would
impact a small designated area of the Detroit River less than 1 hour
during the evening when vessel traffic is normally low. 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
[[Page 15309]]
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 lasting less than 1 hour that would prohibit entry within 350 feet
of the fireworks barge. 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.
