FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
On April
25, 2017 the Coast Guard published a
temporary deviation entitled
‘‘Drawbridge Operation Regulation;
Canaveral Barge Canal, Canaveral, FL in
the Federal Register (82 FR 18989).
Under that temporary deviation, the
bridge would remain in the closed-tonavigation position from 11 a.m. to 2
p.m. on Saturdays. The Canaveral Port
Authority has requested that this
deviation also include Sundays. The
current operating regulation is under 33
CFR 117.273. The bridge logs from
November 2016 indicate that, at most,
approximately nine vessels may be
affected by establishing this three hour
bridge closure on Saturdays and
Sundays. The majority of the opening
requests were either at the beginning or
end of this closure period; therefore, by
adjusting their transits slightly there
should be a negligible overall effect.
This modified deviation is effective
from May 11, 2017 until October 23,
2017. The Coast Guard will continue to
evaluate the impact to mariners
navigating this area during the closure
periods and has requested comments be
submitted during the first 60 days of
this modified deviation.
Vessels able to pass through the
bridge in the closed position may do so
at any time. The bridge will be able to
open for emergencies and there is no
immediate alternate route for vessels to
pass through the bridge in closed
positions. The Coast Guard will also
inform the users of the waterways
through Local and Broadcast Notices to
Mariners of the change in operating
schedule for the bridge so that vessel
operators can arrange their transits to
minimize any impact caused by the
temporary deviation.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the drawbridge must return to its regular
operating schedule immediately at the
end of the effective period of this
temporary deviation. This deviation
from the operating regulations is
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

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 doing
so would be impracticable. The Coast

The Coast Guard is issuing this rule
under authority in 33 U.S.C. 1231.
Having reviewed the application for a
marine event submitted by the sponsor
on March 14, 2017, the Captain of the
Port Detroit (COTP) has determined that
an aircraft aerial display proximate to a
gathering of watercraft poses a
significant risk to public safety and
property. Such hazards include
potential aircraft malfunctions, loud
noise levels, and waterway distractions.
Therefore, the COTP is establishing a
safety zone around the event location to

21918
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 90 / Thursday, May 11, 2017 / Rules and Regulations
help minimize risks to safety of life and
property during this event.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a safety zone
from 12:30 p.m. on June 23, 2017
through 9 p.m. on June 26, 2017. The
safety zone will encompass all U.S.
navigable waters of the Detroit River
between the following two lines
extending from 70 feet off the bank to
the US/Canadian demarcation line: the
first line is drawn directly across the
channel at position 42°19.444′ N.,
083°03.114′ W. (NAD 83); the second
line, to the north, is drawn directly
across the channel at position
42°19.860′ N. 083°01.683′ W. (NAD 83).
No vessel or person will be permitted to
enter the safety zone without obtaining
permission from the COTP or a
designated representative.
The COTP or his designated on-scene
representative will notify the public of
the enforcement of this rule by all
appropriate means, including a
Broadcast Notice to Mariners and Local
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 these statutes and executive
orders.
A. Regulatory Planning and Review
Executive Orders 12866 (‘‘Regulatory
Planning and Review’’) and 13563
(‘‘Improving Regulation and Regulatory
Review’’) 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
including potential economic,
environmental, public health and safety
effects, distributive impacts, and equity.
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.’’
The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) has not designated this rule a
significant regulatory action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866.
Accordingly, the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) has not reviewed it.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
14:36 May 10, 2017
Jkt 241001
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-year of the safety zone.
Vessel traffic will be able to safely
transit around this safety zone which
will impact a small designated area of
the Detroit River from 12:30 p.m. on
June 23, 2017 until 9 p.m. on June 26,
2017. Moreover, the Coast Guard will
issue Broadcast Notice to Mariners via
VHF–FM marine channel 16 about the
zone and the rule allows 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 rule will 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 V.A above, this
rule will 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 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
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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 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
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 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
E:\FR\FM\11MYR1.SGM
11MYR1
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 90 / Thursday, May 11, 2017 / Rules and Regulations
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 safety
zone lasting less than three hours per
day that will prohibit entry within the
1 mile by .2 mile air show site. It is
categorically excluded under section
2.B.2, figure 2–1, paragraph 34(g) of the
Instruction. A Record of Environmental
Consideration (REC) supporting this
determination is available in the docket
where indicated in the ADDRESSES
section of this preamble.
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.

II. Background Information and Regulatory History
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 doing so would be impracticable. The
Coast Guard did not receive the final details of this air show until
there was insufficient time remaining before the event to publish an
NPRM.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C.
1231. Having reviewed the application for a marine event submitted by
the sponsor on March 14, 2017, the Captain of the Port Detroit (COTP)
has determined that an aircraft aerial display proximate to a gathering
of watercraft poses a significant risk to public safety and property.
Such hazards include potential aircraft malfunctions, loud noise
levels, and waterway distractions. Therefore, the COTP is establishing
a safety zone around the event location to
[[Page 21918]]
help minimize risks to safety of life and property during this event.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a safety zone from 12:30 p.m. on June 23,
2017 through 9 p.m. on June 26, 2017. The safety zone will encompass
all U.S. navigable waters of the Detroit River between the following
two lines extending from 70 feet off the bank to the US/Canadian
demarcation line: the first line is drawn directly across the channel
at position 42[deg]19.444' N., 083[deg]03.114' W. (NAD 83); the second
line, to the north, is drawn directly across the channel at position
42[deg]19.860' N. 083[deg]01.683' W. (NAD 83). No vessel or person will
be permitted to enter the safety zone without obtaining permission from
the COTP or a designated representative.
The COTP or his designated on-scene representative will notify the
public of the enforcement of this rule by all appropriate means,
including a Broadcast Notice to Mariners and Local 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 these statutes and executive orders.
A. Regulatory Planning and Review
Executive Orders 12866 (``Regulatory Planning and Review'') and
13563 (``Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review'') 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 including potential economic, environmental,
public health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity.
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.''
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has not designated this
rule a significant regulatory action under section 3(f) of Executive
Order 12866. Accordingly, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has
not reviewed it.
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-year of the safety zone. Vessel traffic
will be able to safely transit around this safety zone which will
impact a small designated area of the Detroit River from 12:30 p.m. on
June 23, 2017 until 9 p.m. on June 26, 2017. Moreover, the Coast Guard
will issue Broadcast Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16
about the zone and the rule allows 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 rule
will 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
V.A above, this rule will 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 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 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 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 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
[[Page 21919]]
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
safety zone lasting less than three hours per day that will prohibit
entry within the 1 mile by .2 mile air show site. It is categorically
excluded under section 2.B.2, figure 2-1, paragraph 34(g) of the
Instruction. A Record of Environmental Consideration (REC) supporting
this determination is available in the docket where indicated in the
ADDRESSES section of this preamble.
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.
