NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
§ Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background Information and
Regulatory History
On January 17, 2018, the Kentucky
Dam Marina notified the Coast Guard
that it would be conducting a fireworks
display from 7 p.m. through 10 p.m. on
June 30, 2018. The fireworks are to be
launched from the break wall of
Kentucky Dam Marina. In response, on
April 26, 2018, the Coast Guard
published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) titled Safety Zone;
Tennessee River, Gilbertsville, KY (83
FR 18241). There we stated why we
issued the NPRM, and invited
comments on our proposed regulatory
action related to this fireworks display.
During the comment period that ended
May 29, 2018, we received no
comments.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for
making this rule effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal
Register. Delaying the effective date of
this rule would be contrary to the public
interest because immediate action is
needed to respond to the potential
safety hazards associated with this
fireworks display.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule
under authority in 33 U.S.C. 1231. The
Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley
(COTP) has determined that potential
hazards associated with the fireworks to
be used in this June 30, 2018 display
will be a safety concern for anyone
within a 350-foot radius from the
fireworks launch site on the Kentucky
Dam Marina break wall in Gilbertsville,
KY. Hazards from firework displays
include accidental discharge of
fireworks, dangerous projectiles, and
falling hot embers or other debris. 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 event.
IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes,
and the Rule
As noted above, we received no
comments on our NPRM published
April 26, 2018. However, we have
noticed an error in the title of the
proposed rule, which included ‘‘Ohio’’
River, instead of ‘‘Tennessee’’ River.
The regulatory text of this rule corrects
an error in the title of the regulatory text
of this temporary final rule.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:30 Jun 28, 2018
Jkt 244001
This rule establishes a temporary
safety zone from 6:50 p.m. through
10:10 p.m. on June 30, 2018. The safety
zone will cover all navigable waters
within a 350-foot radius from the
fireworks launch site on the Kentucky
Dam Marina break wall in Gilbertsville,
KY. The duration of the zone is
intended to ensure the safety of vessels
on these navigable waters before,
during, and after the scheduled
fireworks display. No vessel or person
will be permitted to enter the safety
zone without obtaining permission from
the COTP or a designated
representative. Persons or vessels
desiring to enter into or pass through
the zone must request permission from
the COTP or a designated
representative. They may be contacted
on VHF–FM Channel 16 or by phone at
1–800–253–7465. If permission is
granted, all persons and vessels must
transit at their slowest safe speed and
comply with all lawful directions issued
by the COTP or a designated
representative. The COTP or a
designated representative will inform
the public through Broadcast Notice to
Mariners (BNMs) of the enforcement
period for the safety zone as well as the
date and time of enforcement.
V. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this 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 rule has not
been designated a ‘‘significant
regulatory action,’’ under Executive
Order 12866. Accordingly, this rule 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 of the safety zone.
Vessel traffic would be able to safely
transit around this safety zone, which
will impact a 350-foot designated area of
the Tennessee River for approximately
three hours on one evening. Moreover,
the Coast Guard will issue a Broadcast
PO 00000
Frm 00028
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
Notice to Mariners (BNMs) 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 received no comments
from the Small Business Administration
on this rulemaking. 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
temporary 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.
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 an expenditure,
we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.

F. Environment
We have analyzed this rule under

Directive 023–01 and Commandant
Instruction M16475.1D, which guide the
Coast Guard in complying with the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969(42 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 approximately three hours
that will prohibit entry within 350 feet
of a break wall at Kentucky Dam Marina
in Gilbertsville, KY. It is categorically

II. Background Information and Regulatory History
On January 17, 2018, the Kentucky Dam Marina notified the Coast
Guard that it would be conducting a fireworks display from 7 p.m.
through 10 p.m. on June 30, 2018. The fireworks are to be launched from
the break wall of Kentucky Dam Marina. In response, on April 26, 2018,
the Coast Guard published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) titled
Safety Zone; Tennessee River, Gilbertsville, KY (83 FR 18241). There we
stated why we issued the NPRM, and invited comments on our proposed
regulatory action related to this fireworks display. During the comment
period that ended May 29, 2018, we received no comments.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date of
this rule would be contrary to the public interest because immediate
action is needed to respond to the potential safety hazards associated
with this fireworks display.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C.
1231. The Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley (COTP) has determined
that potential hazards associated with the fireworks to be used in this
June 30, 2018 display will be a safety concern for anyone within a 350-
foot radius from the fireworks launch site on the Kentucky Dam Marina
break wall in Gilbertsville, KY. Hazards from firework displays include
accidental discharge of fireworks, dangerous projectiles, and falling
hot embers or other debris. 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 event.
IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule
As noted above, we received no comments on our NPRM published April
26, 2018. However, we have noticed an error in the title of the
proposed rule, which included ``Ohio'' River, instead of ``Tennessee''
River. The regulatory text of this rule corrects an error in the title
of the regulatory text of this temporary final rule.
This rule establishes a temporary safety zone from 6:50 p.m.
through 10:10 p.m. on June 30, 2018. The safety zone will cover all
navigable waters within a 350-foot radius from the fireworks launch
site on the Kentucky Dam Marina break wall in Gilbertsville, KY. The
duration of the zone is intended to ensure the safety of vessels on
these navigable waters before, during, and after the scheduled
fireworks display. No vessel or person will be permitted to enter the
safety zone without obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated
representative. Persons or vessels desiring to enter into or pass
through the zone must request permission from the COTP or a designated
representative. They may be contacted on VHF-FM Channel 16 or by phone
at 1-800-253-7465. If permission is granted, all persons and vessels
must transit at their slowest safe speed and comply with all lawful
directions issued by the COTP or a designated representative. The COTP
or a designated representative will inform the public through Broadcast
Notice to Mariners (BNMs) of the enforcement period for the safety zone
as well as the date and time of enforcement.
V. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this 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 rule has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, this rule 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 of the safety zone. Vessel traffic
would be able to safely transit around this safety zone, which will
impact a 350-foot designated area of the Tennessee River for
approximately three hours on one evening. Moreover, the Coast Guard
will issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners (BNMs) 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 received no comments from the Small Business
Administration on this rulemaking. 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
temporary 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.
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 an 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
Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.1D, which guide the
Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of
1969(42 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 approximately three hours that will prohibit entry
within 350 feet of a break wall at Kentucky Dam Marina in
Gilbertsville, KY. It is 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 Record of Environmental Consideration
supporting this determination is available in the docket where
indicated under ADDRESSES.
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.
