order is to be issued, and (2) the date
that notice of the proposed temporary
scheduling order is transmitted to the
Assistant Secretary of HHS. 21 U.S.C.
811(h)(1).
Inasmuch as section 201(h) of the
CSA directs that temporary scheduling
actions be issued by order and sets forth
the procedures by which such orders are
to be issued, the DEA believes that the
notice and comment requirements of
section 553 of the Administrative
Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 553, do
not apply to this notice of intent. In the
alternative, even assuming that this
notice of intent might be subject to
section 553 of the APA, the
Administrator finds that there is good
cause to forgo the notice and comment
requirements of section 553, as any
further delays in the process for
issuance of temporary scheduling orders
would be impracticable and contrary to
the public interest in view of the
manifest urgency to avoid an imminent
hazard to the public safety.
Although the DEA believes this notice
of intent to issue a temporary
scheduling order is not subject to the
notice and comment requirements of
section 553 of the APA, the DEA notes
that in accordance with 21 U.S.C.
811(h)(4), the Administrator took into
consideration comments submitted by
the Assistant Secretary in response to
notice that DEA transmitted to the
Assistant Secretary pursuant to section
811(h)(4).
Further, the DEA believes that this
temporary scheduling action is not a
‘‘rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 601(2),
and, accordingly, is not subject to the
requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (RFA). The requirements
for the preparation of an initial
regulatory flexibility analysis in 5 U.S.C.
603(a) are not applicable where, as here,
the DEA is not required by section 553
of the APA or any other law to publish
a general notice of proposed
rulemaking.
Additionally, this action is not a
significant regulatory action as defined
by Executive Order 12866 (Regulatory
Planning and Review), section 3(f), and,
accordingly, this action has not been
reviewed by the Office of Management
and Budget.
This action will not have substantial
direct effects 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. Therefore, in
accordance with Executive Order 13132
(Federalism) it is determined that this
action does not have sufficient

33 CFR Part 100
The Coast Guard proposes to establish
a special local regulation on the waters
of the Hillsborough Bay, Tampa, Florida
E:\FR\FM\13DEP1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 238 / Wednesday, December 13, 2017 / Proposed Rules
during the annual Gasparilla Marine
Parade. This event is expected to attract
over 600 spectator craft along the parade
route, with approximately 18 vessels
participating in the official flotilla. The
parade is scheduled to take place
annually on the last Saturday in
January. This proposed rulemaking is
necessary to ensure the safety of public,
the official flotilla, and spectator vessels
on these navigable waters of the United
States during the Annual Gasparilla
Marine Parade. The Coast Guard
proposes this rulemaking under
authority in 33 U.S.C. 1233.
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
This rule establishes a temporary
special local regulation for the
Gasparilla Marine Parade on the waters
of Hillsborough Bay in Tampa, Florida
annually on the last saturday in January.
This special regulation sets forth
specific requirements for vessels
operating within the regulated area
during the period of enforcement.
Persons and vessels not meeting the
requirements of this regulation may
request authorization to enter, transit
through, anchor in, or remain within the
regulated area by contacting the Captain
of the Port St. Petersburg by telephone
at (727) 824–7506, or a designated
representative via VHF radio on channel
16. If authorization to enter, transit
through, anchor in, or remain within the
regulated area is granted by the Captain
of the Port St. Petersburg or a designated
representative, all persons and vessels
receiving such authorization must
comply with the instructions of the
Captain of the Port St. Petersburg or a
designated representative. The Coast
Guard will provide notice of the special
local regulations by Local Notice to
Mariners, Broadcast Notice to Mariners,
and/or on-scene designated
representatives.

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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:09 Dec 12, 2017
Jkt 244001
flexibility. 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.
The economic impact of this rule is
not significant for the following reasons:
(1) The special local regulation will be
enforced for only nine hours; (2)
although certain persons and vessels are
prohibited to enter, transit through,
anchor in, or remain within the
regulated area without authorization
from the Captain of the Port St.
Petersburg or a designated
representative, they may operate in the
surrounding area during the
enforcement period; (3) the Coast Guard
will provide advance notification of the
special local regulations to the local
maritime community by Local Notice to
Mariners and/or Broadcast Notice to
Mariners; and (4) persons and vessels
not meeting the requirements of this
regulation may request authorization to
enter, transit through, anchor in, or
remain within the regulated area by
contacting the Captain of the Port or a
designated representative.
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 proposed rule would not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities.
This rule may affect the following
entities, some of which may be small
entities: The owners or operators of
vessels intending to enter, transit
through, anchor in, or remain within
that portion of Hillsborough Bay,
Tampa, FL, encompassed within the
special local regulation annually on the
last saturday in January. For the reasons
stated in section IV.A above, this rule
will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
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 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
proposed rule would not result in such
an expenditure, we do discuss the

13DEP1
58580
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 238 / Wednesday, December 13, 2017 / Proposed Rules
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 rule involves a
special local regulation issued in
conjunction with a regatta or marine
parade. This rule is categorically
excluded from further review under
paragraph (34) (h) of Figure 2–1 of
Commandant Instruction M16475.lD.
We seek any comments or information
that may lead to the discovery of a
significant environmental impact from
this proposed rule.

during the annual Gasparilla Marine Parade. This event is expected to
attract over 600 spectator craft along the parade route, with

waters of the United States during the Annual Gasparilla Marine Parade.
The Coast Guard proposes this rulemaking under authority in 33 U.S.C.
1233.
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
This rule establishes a temporary special local regulation for the
Gasparilla Marine Parade on the waters of Hillsborough Bay in Tampa,
Florida annually on the last saturday in January. This special
regulation sets forth specific requirements for vessels operating
within the regulated area during the period of enforcement.
Persons and vessels not meeting the requirements of this regulation
may request authorization to enter, transit through, anchor in, or
remain within the regulated area by contacting the Captain of the Port
St. Petersburg by telephone at (727) 824-7506, or a designated
representative via VHF radio on channel 16. If authorization to enter,
transit through, anchor in, or remain within the regulated area is
granted by the Captain of the Port St. Petersburg or a designated
representative, all persons and vessels receiving such authorization
must comply with the instructions of the Captain of the Port St.
Petersburg or a designated representative. The Coast Guard will provide
notice of the special local regulations by Local Notice to Mariners,
Broadcast Notice to Mariners, and/or on-scene designated
representatives.
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. 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.
The economic impact of this rule is not significant for the
following reasons: (1) The special local regulation will be enforced
for only nine hours; (2) although certain persons and vessels are
prohibited to enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within the
regulated area without authorization from the Captain of the Port St.
Petersburg or a designated representative, they may operate in the
surrounding area during the enforcement period; (3) the Coast Guard
will provide advance notification of the special local regulations to
the local maritime community by Local Notice to Mariners and/or
Broadcast Notice to Mariners; and (4) persons and vessels not meeting
the requirements of this regulation may request authorization to enter,
transit through, anchor in, or remain within the regulated area by
contacting the Captain of the Port or a designated representative.
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
proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
This rule may affect the following entities, some of which may be
small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to enter,
transit through, anchor in, or remain within that portion of
Hillsborough Bay, Tampa, FL, encompassed within the special local
regulation annually on the last saturday in January. For the reasons
stated in section IV.A above, this rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
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 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 proposed rule would not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the
[[Page 58580]]
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 rule involves a special local
regulation issued in conjunction with a regatta or marine parade. This
rule is categorically excluded from further review under paragraph (34)
(h) of Figure 2-1 of Commandant Instruction M16475.lD. 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.
