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 will not result in such
expenditure, we do discuss the effects of
this proposed 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 guides the Coast
Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and
have made a preliminary determination
that this action is one of a category of
actions which do not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on
the human environment. This proposed
rule simply promulgates the operating
regulations or procedures for
drawbridges. Normally such actions are
categorically excluded from further
review, under figure 2–1, paragraph (32)
(e), of the Instruction.

sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with PROPOSALS
II. Background, Purpose, and Legal
Basis
On April 18, 2011 the Coast Guard
published an NPRM in the Federal
Register (76 FR 21677) entitled ‘‘Safety
Zones; Annual Events Requiring Safety
Zones in the Captain of the Port Sault
Sainte Marie Zone.’’ The NPRM
proposed to establish 20 permanent
safety zones for annually recurring
events in the Captain of the Port Sault
Sainte Marie Zone under § 165.918. The
NPRM was open for comment for 30
days.
On June 2, 2011 the Coast Guard
published the Final Rule in the Federal
Register (76 FR 31839), after receiving
no comments on the NPRM. Since that
time there have been changes to the
events that were listed in the Final Rule
and additional annual events have been
established. Through this proposed rule
the Coast Guard seeks to update
§ 165.918 to reflect the current status of
recurring marine events in the Captain
of the Port Sault Sainte Marie Zone.
The legal basis for this proposed
rulemaking is found at 33 U.S.C. 1231;
50 U.S.C. 191; 33 CFR 1.05–1, 6.04–1,
6.04–6, and 160.5; Department of
Homeland Security Delegation No.
0170.1.
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
The Captain of the Port Sault Sainte
Marie (COTP) has determined that an
amendment to the recurring safety zones
list as published in 33 CFR 165.918 will
be necessary to: update the location,
date, and size of eighteen existing safety
zones (Marquette Fourth of July
Celebration Fireworks, Munising Fourth

Sainte Marie Fourth of July Celebration

Marais Splash In, National Cherry

three safety zones (Mackinaw Area
Visitors Bureau Friday Night Fireworks,
Nautical City Fireworks, and Traverse
City Fourth of July Celebration
Fireworks), remove National Cherry
Festival Fourth of July Celebration
Fireworks and St. Ignace Fourth of July
Celebration Fireworks safety zones, and
format the existing regulations into a
table format. The purpose of this rule is
to ensure safety of vessels and the
navigable waters in the safety zone
before, during, and after the scheduled
events and to improve the overall clarity
and readability of the rule. The
regulatory text we are proposing appears
at the end of this document.
The amendments to this proposed
rule are necessary to ensure the safety
of vessels and people during annual
events taking place on or near federally
maintained waterways in the Captain of
the Port Sault Sainte Marie Zone.
Although this proposed rule will be in
effect year-round, the specific safety
zones listed in Table 165.918 will only
be enforced during a specified period of
time.
When a Notice of Enforcement for a
particular safety zone is published,
entry into, transiting through, or
anchoring within the safety zone is
prohibited unless authorized by the
Captain of the Port Sault Sainte Marie,
or his or her designated representative.
The Captain of the Port Sault Sainte
Marie or his or her designated
representative may be contacted via
VHF Channel 16 or telephone at 906–
635–3319. No vessel or person will be
permitted to enter the safety zone
without obtaining permission from the
COTP or a designated representative.
V. 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 13771 directs agencies
to control regulatory costs through a
budgeting process. This NPRM has not
been designated a ‘‘significant
regulatory action,’’ under Executive
Order 12866. Accordingly, the NPRM
PO 00000
Frm 00026
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and
pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive
Order 13771.
This regulatory action determination
is based on the size, location, duration,
and time-of-day for each safety zone.
Vessel traffic will be able to safely
transit around all safety zones which
will impact small designated areas
within the COTP zone for short
durations of time. 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
zones 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.
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 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 rule or
any policy or action of the Coast Guard.

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 55 / Wednesday, March 21, 2018 / Proposed Rules
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 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 rule has implications
for federalism or Indian tribes, please
contact the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.

RIN 1625-AA00
Safety Zones; Recurring Safety Zones in Captain of the Port Sault
Sainte Marie Zone
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to amend its recurring safety zones
regulations in the Captain of the Port Sault Sainte Marie Zone. This
proposed rule would update eighteen safety zone locations, dates, and
sizes, add three safety zones, remove two established safety zones, and
reformat the regulations into an easier to read table format. These
proposed amendments will protect spectators, participants, and vessels
from the hazards associated with annual marine events and firework
shows, and improve the clarity and readability of the regulation. We
invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before April 20, 2018.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2018-0198 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at https://www.regulations.gov. Type the docket number (USCG-2018-0198) in the

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
COTP Captain of the Port
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec. Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis
On April 18, 2011 the Coast Guard published an NPRM in the Federal
Register (76 FR 21677) entitled ``Safety Zones; Annual Events Requiring
Safety Zones in the Captain of the Port Sault Sainte Marie Zone.'' The
NPRM proposed to establish 20 permanent safety zones for annually
recurring events in the Captain of the Port Sault Sainte Marie Zone
under Sec. 165.918. The NPRM was open for comment for 30 days.
On June 2, 2011 the Coast Guard published the Final Rule in the
Federal Register (76 FR 31839), after receiving no comments on the
NPRM. Since that time there have been changes to the events that were
listed in the Final Rule and additional annual events have been
established. Through this proposed rule the Coast Guard seeks to update
Sec. 165.918 to reflect the current status of recurring marine events
in the Captain of the Port Sault Sainte Marie Zone.
The legal basis for this proposed rulemaking is found at 33 U.S.C.
1231; 50 U.S.C. 191; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-1, 6.04-6, and 160.5;
Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1.
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
The Captain of the Port Sault Sainte Marie (COTP) has determined
that an amendment to the recurring safety zones list as published in 33
CFR 165.918 will be necessary to: update the location, date, and size
of eighteen existing safety zones (Marquette Fourth of July Celebration
Fireworks, Munising Fourth of July Celebration Fireworks, Sault Sainte
Marie Fourth of July Celebration Fireworks, Mackinac Island Fourth of
July Celebration Fireworks, Harbor Springs Fourth of July Celebration
Fireworks, Bay Harbor Yacht Club Fourth of July Celebration Fireworks,
Petoskey Fourth of July Celebration Fireworks, Boyne City Fourth of
July Celebration Fireworks, Alpena Fourth of July Celebration
Fireworks, Charlevoix Venetian Festival Friday Night Fireworks,
Charlevoix Venetian Festival Saturday Night Fireworks, Elk Rapids
Harbor Days Fireworks, Jordan Valley Freedom Festival Fireworks, Canada
Day Celebration Fireworks, Festival of Fireworks Celebration Fireworks,
Grand Marais Splash In, National Cherry Festival Airshow, and National
Cherry Festival Finale Fireworks), establish three safety zones
(Mackinaw Area Visitors Bureau Friday Night Fireworks, Nautical City
Fireworks, and Traverse City Fourth of July Celebration Fireworks),
remove National Cherry Festival Fourth of July Celebration Fireworks
and St. Ignace Fourth of July Celebration Fireworks safety zones, and
format the existing regulations into a table format. The purpose of
this rule is to ensure safety of vessels and the navigable waters in
the safety zone before, during, and after the scheduled events and to
improve the overall clarity and readability of the rule. The regulatory
text we are proposing appears at the end of this document.
The amendments to this proposed rule are necessary to ensure the
safety of vessels and people during annual events taking place on or
near federally maintained waterways in the Captain of the Port Sault
Sainte Marie Zone. Although this proposed rule will be in effect year-
round, the specific safety zones listed in Table 165.918 will only be
enforced during a specified period of time.
When a Notice of Enforcement for a particular safety zone is
published, entry into, transiting through, or anchoring within the
safety zone is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port
Sault Sainte Marie, or his or her designated representative. The
Captain of the Port Sault Sainte Marie or his or her designated
representative may be contacted via VHF Channel 16 or telephone at 906-
635-3319. No vessel or person will be permitted to enter the safety
zone without obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated
representative.
V. 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 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs 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 (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, duration, and time-of-day for each safety zone. Vessel
traffic will be able to safely transit around all safety zones which
will impact small designated areas within the COTP zone for short
durations of time. 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 zones 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.
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 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 rule or any policy or action of the
Coast Guard.
[[Page 12309]]
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 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 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 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 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 the update
of eighteen safety zone locations, dates, and sizes, the addition of
three safety zones, the removal of two safety zones, and the
reformatting of regulations into an easier to read table format.
Normally such actions are categorically excluded from further review
under paragraph L60(a) of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual
023-01-001-01, Rev. 01. A preliminary Record of Environmental
Consideration supporting this determination is 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 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.
V. Public Participation and Request for Comments
We view public participation as essential to effective rulemaking,
and will consider all comments and material received during the comment
period. Your comment can help shape the outcome of this rulemaking. If
you submit a comment, please include the docket number for this
rulemaking, indicate the specific section of this document to which
each comment applies, and provide a reason for each suggestion or
recommendation.
We encourage you to submit comments through the Federal eRulemaking
Portal at https://www.regulations.gov. If your material cannot be
submitted using https://www.regulations.gov, contact the person in the
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this document for alternate
instructions.

2. Revise Sec. 165.918 to read as follows:
Sec. 165.918 Safety Zones; Recurring Safety Zones in Captain of the
Port Sault Sainte Marie.
(a) Regulations. The following regulations apply to the safety
zones listed in Table 165.918 of this section:
(1) In accordance with the general regulations in Sec.
[thinsp]165.23 of this part, entry into, transiting, or anchoring
within any of the safety zones listed in this section is prohibited
unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Sault Sainte Marie, or a
designated representative.
(2) All persons and vessels must comply with the instructions of
the Coast Guard Captain of the Port Sault Sainte Marie or a designated
representative. Upon being hailed by the U.S. Coast Guard by siren,
radio, flashing light or other means, the operator of a vessel shall
proceed as directed.
(3) When a safety zone established by this section is being
enforced, all vessels must obtain permission from the Captain of the
Port Sault Sainte Marie or a designated representative to enter, move
within, or exit that safety zone. Vessels and persons granted
permission to enter the safety zone must obey all lawful orders or
directions of the Captain of the Port Sault Sainte Marie or a
designated representative. While within a safety zone, all vessels
shall operate at the minimum speed necessary to maintain a safe course.
(b) Suspension of Enforcement. If the event concludes earlier than
scheduled, the Captain of the Port Sault Sainte Marie or a designated
representative will issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners notifying the
public that enforcement of the respective safety zone is suspended.
(c) Exemption. Public vessels, defined as any vessel owned or
operated by the United States or by State or local
[[Page 12310]]
governments, operating in an official capacity are exempted from the
requirements of this section.
(d) Waiver. For any vessel, the Captain of the Port Sault Sainte
Marie or a designated representative may, at his or her discretion,
waive any of the requirements of this section, upon finding that
circumstances are such that application of this section is unnecessary
or impractical for the purposes of safety or environmental safety.
(e) Contacting the Captain of the Port. While a safety zone listed
in this section is enforced, the Captain of the Port Sault Sainte Marie
or a designated representative may be contacted via VHF Channel 16 or
telephone at (906) 635-3319. Vessel operators given permission to enter
or operate in a safety zone must comply with all directions given to
them by the Captain of the Port Sault Sainte Marie, or a designated
representative.
(f) Notice of Enforcement. The Coast Guard will provide advance
notice of the enforcement including specific date, time, and size of
the safety zone being enforced in Table 165.918, by issuing a Notice of
Enforcement, as well as, a Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
