Pub. L. Public Law
§ Section
U.S.C. United States Code
COTP Captain of the Port
II. Background, Purpose, and Legal
Basis
On February 23, 2018, the Coast
Guard was notified by the Freedom Boat
Club/DBC about the Carolina Boat Bash,
which will be held on August 18, 2018,
and will impact waters of the Little
River Inlet, Little River, South Carolina.
The legal basis for the proposed rule is
the Coast Guard’s authority to establish
special local regulations is 33 U.S.C.
1233. The purpose of the rule is to
ensure safety of life on navigable waters
of the United States during the Carolina
Boat Bash.
amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with PROPOSALS1
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
The COTP proposes to establish a
special local regulation from 11 a.m. to
6 p.m. on August 18, 2018. The event
will consist of live music from two 40’
by 20’ spud barges. This is expected to
be a heavily attended event with an
estimated 1200–1400 recreational boats
possibly transiting the area.
The proposed special local regulation
is necessary to ensure the safety of
participants, spectators, and vessels
from the hazards associated with the
event. The duration of the special local
regulation is intended to ensure the
safety of event participants, the general
public, vessels and navigable waters
during the event scheduled time frame.
Approximately 1400 vessels are
anticipated to transit through the event
area during that time frame. No vessel
or person would be permitted to enter
the marked regulated area without
obtaining permission from the COTP or
a designated representative. The
regulatory text 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:14 Jul 09, 2018
Jkt 244001
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.
The economic impact of this proposed
rule is not significant for the following
reasons: (1) Non-participant persons and
vessels may enter, transit through,
anchor in, or remain within the
regulated area during the enforcement
periods if authorized by the COTP or a
designated representative; (2) vessels
not authorized to enter, transit through,
anchor in, or remain within the
regulated area may operate in the
surrounding areas during the
enforcement period; and (3) the Coast
Guard will provide advance notification
of the special local regulation to the
local maritime community by Local
Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice
to Mariners.
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.
We have considered the impact of this
proposed rule on small entities. This
rule may affect the following entities,
some of which may be small entities:
the owner or operators of vessels
intending to enter, transit through,
anchor in, or remain within the
regulated area during the enforcement
period. For the reasons stated in section
IV.A. above, this proposed rule would
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
PO 00000
Frm 00019
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
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.
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
E:\FR\FM\10JYP1.SGM
10JYP1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 132 / Tuesday, July 10, 2018 / Proposed Rules
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 (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 a special local regulation on
one day lasting from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00
p.m., prohibiting traffic from
approaching the barges. Normally such
actions are categorically excluded from
further review under paragraph L 63(b)
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.

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

On February 23, 2018, the Coast Guard was notified by the Freedom

Little River, South Carolina. The legal basis for the proposed rule is
the Coast Guard's authority to establish special local regulations is

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.
The economic impact of this proposed rule is not significant for
the following reasons: (1) Non-participant persons and vessels may
enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within the regulated area
during the enforcement periods if authorized by the COTP or a
designated representative; (2) vessels not authorized to enter, transit
through, anchor in, or remain within the regulated area may operate in
the surrounding areas during the enforcement period; and (3) the Coast
Guard will provide advance notification of the special local regulation
to the local maritime community by Local Notice to Mariners and
Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
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.
We have considered the impact of this proposed rule on small
entities. This rule may affect the following entities, some of which
may be small entities: the owner or operators of vessels intending to
enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within the regulated area
during the enforcement period. For the reasons stated in section IV.A.
above, this proposed rule would 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.
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
[[Page 31915]]
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 (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 a special
local regulation on one day lasting from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.,
prohibiting traffic from approaching the barges. Normally such actions
are categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L 63(b)
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.
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.
