Special Local Regulations; Recurring
Marine Events, Sector St. Petersburg
Coast Guard, DHS.
Notice of proposed rulemaking.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard proposes to
revise existing regulations and
consolidate into one table special local
regulations for recurring marine events
at various locations within the
geographic boundaries of the Seventh
Coast Guard District Captain of the Port
(COTP) St. Petersburg Zone.
Consolidating marine events into one
table simplifies Coast Guard oversight
and public notification of special local
regulations within COTP St. Petersburg
Zone. The Coast Guard invites your
comments on this proposed rulemaking.
DATES: Comments and related material
must be received by the Coast Guard on
or before February 13, 2020.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
identified by docket number USCG–
2018–0749 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.
SUMMARY:
If
you have questions about this proposed
rulemaking, call or email Marine
Science Technician First Class Michael
D. Shackleford, Sector St. Petersburg
Prevention Department, Coast Guard;

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
§ Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background, Purpose, and Legal
Basis
Recurring marine events within the
Seventh Coast Guard District are
currently listed in 33 CFR 100.701,
Table to § 100.701. The process for
amending the table (e.g. adding or
removing marine events) is lengthy and
inefficient since it includes recurring
marine events for seven different COTP
zones within the Seventh District. To
expedite and simplify the rule-making
process for new marine events/special
local regulations, COTP’s resorted to
creating individual rules rather than
amending the Table to § 100.701.
This rule serves two purposes: (1)
Create a table of recurring marine
events/special local regulations
occurring solely within the COTP St.
Petersburg Zone, and (2) consolidate
into that table marine events/special
local regulations previously established
outside of Table to § 100.701. The
proposed new table would facilitate
management of and public access to
information about marine events within
the COTP St. Petersburg Zone.
The Coast Guard proposes this
rulemaking under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70041.
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
This rule proposes to make the
following changes:
1. Establish 33 CFR 100.703 Special
Local Regulations; Marine Events
Within the Captain of the Port St.
Petersburg Zone;
2. Remove the existing marine events/
special local regulations listed in Table
to § 100.701(c) under COTP Zone St.
Petersburg; Special Local Regulations to
proposed new § 100.703, Table to
§ 100.703;
3. Delete the existing special local
regulation in § 100.717 for the ‘‘Annual
Fort Myers Beach Offshore Grand Prix;
Fort Myers, FL’’ because it is no longer
held;
4. Delete the existing special local
regulation in in § 100.718 for the
‘‘Annual Suncoast Kilo Run; Sarasota
Bay, Sarasota, FL’’ because it is no
longer held;
5. Move the existing special local
regulation in § 100.720 for the event,
‘‘Suncoast Super Boat Grand Prix, Gulf
of Mexico; Sarasota, FL’’ to proposed
new § 100.703, Table to § 100.703, and
delete existing § 100.720;
6. Move the existing special local
regulation in § 100.721 for the event,

existing § 100.721;
7. Move the existing special local
regulation in § 100.722 for the event,
‘‘Bradenton Area Riverwalk Regatta,
Manatee River; Bradenton, FL’’ to
proposed new § 100.703, Table to
§ 100.703, and delete existing § 100.722;
8. Delete the existing special local
regulation in § 100.728 for the event,

Petersburg, FL’’ because it is no longer
held;
9. Move the existing special local
regulation in § 100.734 for the event,
‘‘Annual Gasparilla Marine Parade;
Hillsborough bay, Tampa, FL’’ to
proposed new § 100.703, Table to
§ 100.703, and delete existing § 100.734;
10. Move the existing special local
regulation in § 100.735 for the event,
‘‘Annual OPA World Championships,
Gulf of Mexico; Englewood Beach, FL’’
to proposed new § 100.703, Table to
§ 100.703, and delete existing § 100.735;
11. Delete the existing special local
regulation in § 100.736 for the event,
‘‘Annual Fort Myers Beach air show’’
because it is no longer held;
12. Delete the existing special local
regulation in § 100.740 for the event,
‘‘Annual Offshore Super Series Boat
Race’’ because it is no longer held;
13. Add new event, ‘‘Gulfport Grand
Prix, Gulfport, FL’’ to proposed new
§ 100.703, Table to § 100.703, Line 3;
14. Add new event, ‘‘St. Pete Beach

The marine events as listed in
proposed new Table to proposed new
§ 100.703, Table to § 100.703 are
scheduled to occur over a particular
time during each month each year.
Exact dates are intentionally omitted
since calendar dates for a specific events
change from year to year. Once dates for
a marine event are known, the Coast
Guard will notify the public of its intent
to enforce the special local regulation
through various means including a
Notice of Enforcement published in the
Federal Register, Local Notice to
Mariners, and Broadcast Notice to
Mariners.
IV. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed rule after
considering numerous statutes and
E:\FR\FM\14JAP1.SGM
14JAP1
2070
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 9 / Tuesday, January 14, 2020 / Proposed Rules
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.
lotter on DSKBCFDHB2PROD 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 special local regulations.
These areas are limited in size and
duration, and usually do not affect high
vessel traffic areas. Moreover, the Coast
Guard would provide advance notice of
the regulated areas to the local maritime
community via Notice of Enforcement
published in the Federal Register, by
Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast to
Mariners via VHF–FM marine channel
16, and the rule would allow vessels to
seek permission to enter the regulated
area.
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.
While some owners or operators of
vessels intending to transit the safety
zone may be small entities, for the
reasons stated in section IV.A above,
this proposed rule would 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:45 Jan 13, 2020
Jkt 250001
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
PO 00000
Frm 00030
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
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 Directive 023–01, Rev. 1,
associated implementing instructions,
and Environmental Planning
COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), 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 establishment of
special local regulations for recurring
marine events within the COTP St.
Petersburg Zone. Normally such actions
are categorically excluded from further
review under paragraphs L61 of
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction
Manual 023–01–001–01, Rev. 1. A
preliminary Memorandum for Record
supporting this determination is
available in the docket where indicated
in 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
docket number for this rulemaking,
indicate the specific section of this

Synopsis
I. Introduction
1. The Commission oversees a number
of critical support programs, including
the Universal Service Fund (USF)
programs, the Telecommunications
Relay Services (TRS) programs, and the
National Deaf-Blind Equipment
Distribution Program (NDBEDP). Part of
the Commission’s role in overseeing
these programs is protecting them from
fraud, waste, and abuse. One important
way the Commission does this is by
identifying and barring from
participation those who have abused or
are likely to abuse these programs. This
is why the Commission has, for its USF
programs, implemented rules that
suspend or debar those convicted of or
found civilly liable for certain
misconduct related to these programs.
2. While these rules have positive
effects, this proceeding explores
whether there is more that the
Commission can do. Specifically, we
propose to adopt new rules consistent
with the Office of Management and
Budget Guidelines to Agencies on
Government Debarment and Suspension
(Nonprocurement) (the Guidelines). The
Guidelines provide additional tools—
adopted by a number of other federal
agencies across the government—that
PO 00000
Frm 00038
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
could enhance the Commission’s ability
to root out bad actors from participation
in its support programs. If adopted,
these measures could not only help the
Commission to fulfill its responsibility
of ensuring that the USF and TRS funds
are well managed, efficient, and fiscally
responsible, but may also assist us in
bridging the digital divide by ensuring
that fund expenditures, including
support for expanded broadband
deployment, are directed in the first
instance to good actors who will use
them only for their intended purpose.
For these reasons, this document
proposes to adopt new rules consistent
with the Guidelines in lieu of the
Commission’s current rules, and to
apply these new rules to the four USF
programs, as well as to the
Commission’s TRS programs 1 and to
the NDBEDP.2
II. Background
3. Most federal agencies have
implemented the Guidelines—either
wholesale or with modifications. The
Commission stands apart from these
agencies with its own rules for reasons
that are largely historical. In 2003, when
the Commission adopted its own
suspension and debarment rules for
certain USF programs, independent
regulatory agencies like the Commission
were expressly excluded from coverage
under the Guidelines for
Nonprocurement Debarment and
Suspension that preceded the current
Guidelines.3 But when OMB adopted in
2005 the interim final changes to what
have become known as the Guidelines,
OMB modified this long-standing
definition to remove the exclusion for
independent agencies. As a result,
independent regulatory agencies such as
the Commission may participate in the
1 For purposes of this document, the term ‘‘TRS
programs’’ means all programs described in Chapter
64, subpt. F, of the Commission’s rules, including
without limitation telecommunications relay
services, speech-to-speech relay services, and video
relay services. TRS enables an individual who is
deaf, hard of hearing, deaf-blind, or who has a
speech disability to communicate by telephone or
other device through the telephone system. TRS is
provided in a variety of ways. Currently, interstate
TRS calls and all internet Protocol (IP) based TRS
calls, both intrastate and intrastate, are supported
by the Fund.
2 The NDBEDP provides equipment needed to
make telecommunications, advanced
communications, and the internet accessible to lowincome individuals who are deaf-blind. For
purposes of this document, we refer to the TRS
program and the NDBEDP separately because they
are certified and operated in different ways.
3 These earlier guidelines, typically referred to as
the ‘‘Common Rules,’’ were implemented through
rules promulgated by executive agencies other than
independent agencies. The Commission’s exclusion
was echoed in the subsequent OMB Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking proposing revisions to those
earlier guidelines.

33 CFR Part 100
[Docket Number USCG-2018-0949]
RIN 1625-AA08
Special Local Regulations; Recurring Marine Events, Sector St.
Petersburg
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to revise existing regulations and
consolidate into one table special local regulations for recurring
marine events at various locations within the geographic boundaries of
the Seventh Coast Guard District Captain of the Port (COTP) St.
Petersburg Zone. Consolidating marine events into one table simplifies
Coast Guard oversight and public notification of special local
regulations within COTP St. Petersburg Zone. The Coast Guard invites
your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before February 13, 2020.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2018-0749 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 about this
proposed rulemaking, call or email Marine Science Technician First
Class Michael D. Shackleford, Sector St. Petersburg Prevention
Department, Coast Guard; telephone (813) 228-2191, email

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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
Recurring marine events within the Seventh Coast Guard District are
currently listed in 33 CFR 100.701, Table to Sec. 100.701. The process
for amending the table (e.g. adding or removing marine events) is
lengthy and inefficient since it includes recurring marine events for
seven different COTP zones within the Seventh District. To expedite and
simplify the rule-making process for new marine events/special local
regulations, COTP's resorted to creating individual rules rather than
amending the Table to Sec. 100.701.
This rule serves two purposes: (1) Create a table of recurring
marine events/special local regulations occurring solely within the
COTP St. Petersburg Zone, and (2) consolidate into that table marine
events/special local regulations previously established outside of
Table to Sec. 100.701. The proposed new table would facilitate
management of and public access to information about marine events
within the COTP St. Petersburg Zone.
The Coast Guard proposes this rulemaking under authority in 46
U.S.C. 70041.
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
This rule proposes to make the following changes:
1. Establish 33 CFR 100.703 Special Local Regulations; Marine
Events Within the Captain of the Port St. Petersburg Zone;
2. Remove the existing marine events/special local regulations
listed in Table to Sec. 100.701(c) under COTP Zone St. Petersburg;
Special Local Regulations to proposed new Sec. 100.703, Table to Sec.
100.703;
3. Delete the existing special local regulation in Sec. 100.717
for the ``Annual Fort Myers Beach Offshore Grand Prix; Fort Myers, FL''
because it is no longer held;
4. Delete the existing special local regulation in in Sec. 100.718
for the ``Annual Suncoast Kilo Run; Sarasota Bay, Sarasota, FL''
because it is no longer held;
5. Move the existing special local regulation in Sec. 100.720 for
the event, ``Suncoast Super Boat Grand Prix, Gulf of Mexico; Sarasota,
FL'' to proposed new Sec. 100.703, Table to Sec. 100.703, and delete
existing Sec. 100.720;
6. Move the existing special local regulation in Sec. 100.721 for
the event, ``Clearwater Super Boat National Championship, Gulf of
Mexico; Clearwater Beach, FL'', to proposed new Sec. 100.703, Table to
Sec. 100.703, and delete existing Sec. 100.721;
7. Move the existing special local regulation in Sec. 100.722 for
the event, ``Bradenton Area Riverwalk Regatta, Manatee River;
Bradenton, FL'' to proposed new Sec. 100.703, Table to Sec. 100.703,
and delete existing Sec. 100.722;
8. Delete the existing special local regulation in Sec. 100.728
for the event, ``Hurricane Offshore Classic, St. Petersburg, FL''
because it is no longer held;
9. Move the existing special local regulation in Sec. 100.734 for
the event, ``Annual Gasparilla Marine Parade; Hillsborough bay, Tampa,
FL'' to proposed new Sec. 100.703, Table to Sec. 100.703, and delete
existing Sec. 100.734;
10. Move the existing special local regulation in Sec. 100.735 for
the event, ``Annual OPA World Championships, Gulf of Mexico; Englewood
Beach, FL'' to proposed new Sec. 100.703, Table to Sec. 100.703, and
delete existing Sec. 100.735;
11. Delete the existing special local regulation in Sec. 100.736
for the event, ``Annual Fort Myers Beach air show'' because it is no
longer held;
12. Delete the existing special local regulation in Sec. 100.740
for the event, ``Annual Offshore Super Series Boat Race'' because it is
no longer held;
13. Add new event, ``Gulfport Grand Prix, Gulfport, FL'' to
proposed new Sec. 100.703, Table to Sec. 100.703, Line 3;
14. Add new event, ``St. Pete Beach Grand Prix of the Gulf, St.
Pete Beach, FL'' to proposed new Sec. 100.703, Table to Sec. 100.703,
Line 4;
15. Add new event, ``Battle of the Bridges, Venice, FL'' to
proposed new Sec. 100.703, Table to Sec. 100.703, Line 6; and
16. Add new event, ``Roar Offshore, Fort Myers Beach, FL'' to
proposed new Sec. 100.703, Table to Sec. 100.703, Line 8.
The marine events as listed in proposed new Table to proposed new
Sec. 100.703, Table to Sec. 100.703 are scheduled to occur over a
particular time during each month each year. Exact dates are
intentionally omitted since calendar dates for a specific events change
from year to year. Once dates for a marine event are known, the Coast
Guard will notify the public of its intent to enforce the special local
regulation through various means including a Notice of Enforcement
published in the Federal Register, Local Notice to Mariners, and
Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
IV. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and
[[Page 2070]]
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 special local regulations. These areas
are limited in size and duration, and usually do not affect high vessel
traffic areas. Moreover, the Coast Guard would provide advance notice
of the regulated areas to the local maritime community via Notice of
Enforcement published in the Federal Register, by Local Notice to
Mariners, Broadcast to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16, and the
rule would allow vessels to seek permission to enter the regulated
area.
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.
While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
IV.A above, this proposed rule would 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 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 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 Directive 023-01, Rev. 1, associated implementing
instructions, and Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series),
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
establishment of special local regulations for recurring marine events
within the COTP St. Petersburg Zone. Normally such actions are
categorically excluded from further review under paragraphs L61 of
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. A
preliminary Memorandum for Record supporting this determination is
available in the docket where indicated in 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 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.
