§ Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background, Purpose, and Legal
Basis
The Les Cheneaux Antique Wooden
Boat Show was founded in 1978 and the
event is held every year in mid-August.
During this event, a variety of vessel
traffic is attracted to the area in and
surrounding the Hessel Marina. A

commercial ferry vessel, jet skis, kayaks,
paddle boards, sail and power vessels
all use this this waterway to view the
show and to transit the area. This mix
of vessels in close proximity to each
other warrants additional safety
measures.
The legal basis for this proposed
rulemaking is found at 33 U.S.C. 1233;
33 CFR 1.05–1; 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
adding the Annual Les Cheneaux
Islands Antique Wooden Boat Show to
the list of Special Local Regulations to
establish a no wake zone in the
navigable waters of Marquette Bay near
Hessel, MI is the most practical way to
ensure the safety of the boating public.
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, duration,
and time-of-day for the no wake zone.
Vessel traffic will be able to safely
transit through the no wake zone which
will impact a small designated area
within the COTP zone for a short
duration of time. Moreover, the Coast
Guard will issue Broadcast Notice to
Mariners via VHF–FM marine channel
16 about 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
E:\FR\FM\18JNP1.SGM
18JNP1
28174
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 117 / Monday, June 18, 2018 / Proposed Rules
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 no wake
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.
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.

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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:54 Jun 15, 2018
Jkt 244001
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 creating a no wake zone for one
day each year in a small area. Normally
such actions are categorically excluded
from further review under paragraph
L61 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.
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

ACTION:
The Coast Guard proposes to
establish a permanent safety zone for
the navigable waters of the Lower
Mississippi River between mile marker
(MM) 94 and MM 97, above Head of
Passes. This zone is necessary to
provide for the safety of life on these
navigable waters during firework
displays. This proposed rulemaking
would prohibit vessels from entering the
safety zone before, during, and after the
firework displays unless authorized by
the Captain of the Port Sector New
Orleans or a designated representative.
This proposed safety zone would be
enforced only as necessary by the
Captain of the Port Sector New Orleans
(COTP) through a Notice of Enforcement
published in the Federal Register and
announced through Vessel Traffic
Service Advisories, Broadcast Notices to
Mariners (BNMs), Local Notice to
Mariners (LNMs), and/or Marine Safety
Information Bulletins (MSIBs) as
appropriate. We invite your comments
on this proposed rulemaking.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ADDRESSES:
II. Background, Purpose, and Legal
Basis
The Coast Guard Captain of the Port
Sector New Orleans (COTP) proposes to
establish a permanent safety zone on the
Lower Mississippi River in order to
better provide for the safety of life on
navigable waters during firework
displays. The COTP has determined that
a large and increasing volume of the
firework displays occurring within
Sector New Orleans’ area of
responsibility take place at locations
between mile markers (MMs) 94 and 97
above Head of Passes on the Lower
Mississippi River. Many of these events
recur annually and are listed in Table 5
of 33 CFR 165.801 titled Sector New
Orleans Annual and Recurring Safety
Zones. However, a substantial and
increasing number of these firework
displays are one-time events associated
with conventions, weddings, festivals,
etc. By creating a permanent safety zone
that can be enforced through a notice of
enforcement, the COTP would be able to
more efficiently provide for the safety of
life.
This notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) would reduce administrative
costs associated with issuing separate
proposed rules for each individual
recurring safety zone. The number of
one-time firework displays occurring in
this three-mile stretch of the Lower
Mississippi River has increased from
approximately 6 or 7 events in the years
2016 and 2017, up to approximately 11
events by April of 2018. In addition, the
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
28175
Coast Guard has not received any
comments, objections, or complaints for
the previous 22 safety zones established
over the past three years. Although the
COTP expects the number of firework
displays to increase each year, neither
the COTP nor this proposed rule control
the number of one-time firework
displays occurring in any given year.
Finally, due to the limited duration of
each waterway closure associated with
these firework displays, there is very
little, if any, impact to vessel traffic on
these waters of the Lower Mississippi
River. Moreover, the proposed rule
would allow vessels to seek permission
to enter the safety zone on a case-bycase basis from the COTP or a
designated representative.
The COTP proposes this permanent
safety zone in order to balance the
administrative burden and the needs of
the public. The purpose of this
rulemaking is to ensure the safety of life
on these navigable waters within this
three-mile segment of the Lower
Mississippi River before, during, and
after firework displays. Potential
hazards associated with firework
displays include the accidental
discharge of fireworks, dangerous
projectiles, and falling embers or other
debris. This safety zone covers a threemile stretch of the river that includes
several launching locations where
firework displays are most commonly
located. However, the COTP has
determined that potential hazards
associated with each individual
fireworks display is a safety concern for
vessels navigating within a one-mile
stretch of the Lower Mississippi River
around a particular launch location. 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
permanent safety zone between mile
marker (MM) 94 and MM 97 on the
Lower Mississippi River. While this
zone would encompass a three-mile
section of the waterway, the COTP
would limit the enforcement of the zone
only to the areas necessary for the
protection of life on these navigable
waters before, during, and after the
fireworks. No vessel or person would be
permitted to enter the safety zone
without obtaining permission from the
COTP or a designated representative. A
designated representative means any
Coast Guard commissioned, warrant, or
petty officer of the U.S. Coast Guard
assigned to units under the operational
control of USCG Sector New Orleans.
Persons and vessels requiring entry into
this proposed safety zone must request
permission from the COTP or a

the navigable waters of Marquette Bay near Hessel, MI is the most

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, duration, and time-of-day for the no wake zone. Vessel
traffic will be able to safely transit through the no wake zone which
will impact a small designated area within the COTP zone for a short
duration of time. Moreover, the Coast Guard will issue Broadcast Notice
to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16 about 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
[[Page 28174]]
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
no wake 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.
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.
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

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 creating a
no wake zone for one day each year in a small area. Normally such
actions are categorically excluded from further review under paragraph
L61 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.
