Notice of proposed rulemaking.
AGENCY:
The Coast Guard proposes to
amend its safety zone regulations for
annual events in Coast Guard Sector
Ohio Valley that are listed in the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section in
this document. This proposed rule
would add 23 new recurring safety
zones and amend the event/sponsor,
dates, and/or regulated areas for 31
recurring safety zones already listed in

The Captain of the Port Sector Ohio
Valley (COTP) proposes to amend 33
CFR 165.801 to update the table of
annual fireworks displays and other
marine-related events in Coast Guard
Sector Ohio Valley. The current list of
annual and recurring safety zones
occurring in Sector Ohio Valley is
published in Table 1 of 33 CFR 165.801.
That most recent table was created
through the final rule published on June
6, 2017 (82 FR 25965). The current table
in 33 CFR 165.801 needs to be amended
to include new safety zones expected to
recur annually or biannually and
provide new information on existing
safety zones.
The proposed annually recurring
safety zones are necessary to provide for
the safety of life on navigable waters
during the events. Based on the nature
of these marine events, large numbers of

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal
Basis
E:\FR\FM\03APP1.SGM
03APP1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 64 / Tuesday, April 3, 2018 / Proposed Rules
participants and spectators, and event
locations, the COTP has determined that
the events listed in this proposed rule
could pose a risk to participants or
waterways users if the normal vessel
traffic were to interfere with the events.
Possible hazards include risks of injury
or death from near or actual contact
among participant vessels and
spectators or mariners traversing
through the regulated area. In order to
protect the safety of all waterway users,
including event participants and
spectators, this proposed rule would
establish safety zones for the time and
location of each marine event.
This purpose of this proposed
rulemaking is to ensure the safety of
vessels on the navigable waters in the
safety zones during the scheduled
events. Vessels would not be permitted
to enter the safety zone unless
authorized by the COTP or a designated
representative. The Coast Guard
proposes this rulemaking under
authority in 33 U.S.C. 1231.
The Coast Guard is issuing this notice
of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) with a
15-day prior notice and opportunity to
comment pursuant to section (d)(3) of
the Administrative Procedure Act (APA)
(5 U.S.C. 553(d)). This provision
authorizes an agency to publish a rule
in less than 30 days before its effective
date for ‘‘good cause found and
published with the rule.’’ Under 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds
that good cause exists for publishing
this NPRM with a 15-day comment
period because it is impractical to
provide a 30-day comment period.
These proposed safety zones are
necessary to ensure the safety of vessels
and persons during the marine events.
It is impracticable to publish an NPRM
with a 30-day comment period because
we must establish some of these updates
as early as the end of April 2018. A 15day comment period would allow the
Coast Guard to provide for public notice
and comment, but also update the safety
zones soon enough that the length of the
notice and comment period does not
compromise public safety.

III. Discussion of the Proposed Rule
The COTP proposes to amend its
safety zone regulations for annual
events in Coast Guard Sector Ohio
Valley listed in Table 1 of 33 CFR
165.801. This section requires
amendment from time to time to
properly reflect the recurring safety
zone regulations in Sector Ohio Valley.
This rule would add 23 new recurring
safety zones and amend the event/
sponsor, dates, and/or regulated areas
for 31 recurring safety zones already
listed in the current table. Other than
these 23 new safety zones and 31
changes to the event/sponsor, dates,
and/or locations of certain events, the
regulations of 33 CFR 165.801 and the
other provisions in Table 1 of § 165.801
would remain unchanged.
The Coast Guard proposes to revise
regulations at 33 CFR 165.801 Table 1
by adding 23 new safety zones. The 23
safety zones being added to Table 1 are
below:

The amendments to this rule are
necessary to ensure the safety of vessels
and people during annual events taking
place on or near navigable waters in
Sector Ohio Valley. Although this
proposed rule would be in effect yearround, the specific safety zones listed in
Table 1 of 33 CFR 165.801 would only
be enforced during a specified period of
time coinciding with the happening of
the annual events listed. In accordance
with the regulations listed in 33 CFR
165.801(a)–(d), entry into these safety
zones is prohibited unless authorized by
the COTP or a designated
representative. The regulatory text of the
updated Table 1 of § 165.801 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.
nshattuck on DSK9F9SC42PROD with PROPOSALS
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, and
duration of the safety zones. These
safety zones are limited in size and
duration, and are usually positioned
away from high vessel traffic zones.
Moreover, the Coast Guard would issue
a Broadcast Notice to Mariners via
VHF–FM marine channel 16 about the
zones, and the rule would allow vessels
to seek permission to enter the zones.

Jkt 244001
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 will not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities.
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
proposed 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

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 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
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
(NEPA) (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. 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
proposed rule.

RIN 1625-AA00
Safety Zones; Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley Annual and Recurring
Safety Zones Update
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to amend its safety zone regulations
for annual events in Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley that are listed in
the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section in this document. This proposed
rule would add 23 new recurring safety zones and amend the event/
sponsor, dates, and/or regulated areas for 31 recurring safety zones
already listed in the current table. This action in necessary to
protect spectators, participants, and vessels from the hazards
associated with annual marine events. This proposed rulemaking would
restrict vessel traffic from the safety zones during the events unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley or a
designated representative. We invite your comments on this proposed
rulemaking.
DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before April 18, 2018.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2018-0065 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at https://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further
instructions on submitting comments.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this proposed
rule, call or email Petty Officer Joshua Herriott, Sector Ohio Valley,
U.S. Coast Guard; telephone (502) 779-5343, email

FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec. Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis
The Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley (COTP) proposes to amend
33 CFR 165.801 to update the table of annual fireworks displays and
other marine-related events in Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley. The
current list of annual and recurring safety zones occurring in Sector
Ohio Valley is published in Table 1 of 33 CFR 165.801. That most recent
table was created through the final rule published on June 6, 2017 (82
FR 25965). The current table in 33 CFR 165.801 needs to be amended to
include new safety zones expected to recur annually or biannually and
provide new information on existing safety zones.
The proposed annually recurring safety zones are necessary to
provide for the safety of life on navigable waters during the events.
Based on the nature of these marine events, large numbers of
[[Page 14227]]
participants and spectators, and event locations, the COTP has
determined that the events listed in this proposed rule could pose a
risk to participants or waterways users if the normal vessel traffic
were to interfere with the events. Possible hazards include risks of
injury or death from near or actual contact among participant vessels
and spectators or mariners traversing through the regulated area. In
order to protect the safety of all waterway users, including event
participants and spectators, this proposed rule would establish safety
zones for the time and location of each marine event.
This purpose of this proposed rulemaking is to ensure the safety of
vessels on the navigable waters in the safety zones during the
scheduled events. Vessels would not be permitted to enter the safety
zone unless authorized by the COTP or a designated representative. The
Coast Guard proposes this rulemaking under authority in 33 U.S.C. 1231.
The Coast Guard is issuing this notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) with a 15-day prior notice and opportunity to comment pursuant
to section (d)(3) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C.
553(d)). This provision authorizes an agency to publish a rule in less
than 30 days before its effective date for ``good cause found and
published with the rule.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard
finds that good cause exists for publishing this NPRM with a 15-day
comment period because it is impractical to provide a 30-day comment
period. These proposed safety zones are necessary to ensure the safety
of vessels and persons during the marine events. It is impracticable to
publish an NPRM with a 30-day comment period because we must establish
some of these updates as early as the end of April 2018. A 15-day
comment period would allow the Coast Guard to provide for public notice
and comment, but also update the safety zones soon enough that the
length of the notice and comment period does not compromise public
safety.
III. Discussion of the Proposed Rule
The COTP proposes to amend its safety zone regulations for annual
events in Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley listed in Table 1 of 33 CFR
165.801. This section requires amendment from time to time to properly
reflect the recurring safety zone regulations in Sector Ohio Valley.
This rule would add 23 new recurring safety zones and amend the event/
sponsor, dates, and/or regulated areas for 31 recurring safety zones
already listed in the current table. Other than these 23 new safety
zones and 31 changes to the event/sponsor, dates, and/or locations of
certain events, the regulations of 33 CFR 165.801 and the other
provisions in Table 1 of Sec. 165.801 would remain unchanged.
The Coast Guard proposes to revise regulations at 33 CFR 165.801
Table 1 by adding 23 new safety zones. The 23 safety zones being added
to Table 1 are below:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The amendments to this rule are necessary to ensure the safety of
vessels and people during annual events taking place on or near
navigable waters in Sector Ohio Valley. Although this proposed rule
would be in effect year-round, the specific safety zones listed in
Table 1 of 33 CFR 165.801 would only be enforced during a specified
period of time coinciding with the happening of the annual events
listed. In accordance with the regulations listed in 33 CFR 165.801(a)-
(d), entry into these safety zones is prohibited unless authorized by
the COTP or a designated representative. The regulatory text of the
updated Table 1 of Sec. 165.801 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 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, and duration of the safety zones. These safety zones are
limited in size and duration, and are usually positioned away from high
vessel traffic zones. Moreover, the Coast Guard would issue a Broadcast
Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16 about the zones, and
the rule would allow vessels to seek permission to enter the zones.
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 will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
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 proposed 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 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 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 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 (NEPA) (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. 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 proposed
rule.
[[Page 14230]]
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
