airport, and 1 mile each side of the 047°
bearing, extending from the 4.2-mile
radius to 5.4 miles northeast of the
Bryce Canyon Airport.
Also, this action proposes to amend
the Class E airspace by adding an area,
designated as an extension to a surface
area, to the southwest of the airport.
This area is also designed to contain IFR
aircraft descending below 1,000 feet
above the surface and the proposed area
is described as follows: That airspace
extending upward from the surface
within 1 mile each side of the 227°
bearing, extending from the 4.2 mile
radius to 7.8 miles southwest of the
Bryce Canyon Airport.
Additionally, this action proposes to
amend the Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface.
The proposal reduces the area to the
east and southeast of the airport. This
area is designed to contain IFR arrivals
descending below 1,500 feet above the
surface and IFR departures until they
reach 1,200 feet above the surface. This
proposed area is described as follows:
That airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface within 8
miles north and 4.2 miles south of the
227° bearing from the airport, extending
from the airport to 16 miles southwest
of the airport, and within 8 miles north
and 4.2 miles south of the 047° bearing
from the airport, extending from the
airport to 16 miles northeast of the
Bryce Canyon Airport.
Further, the actions proposes to
remove Class E airspace extending
upward from 1,200 feet above the
surface. This airspace is wholly
contained within Class E en route
airspace and duplication is not
necessary.
Lastly, this action proposes an
administrative update to the Class E
surface airspace’s legal descriptions.
The surface airspace should be in effect
full time. The following two sentences
do not accurately reflect the time of use
and should be removed. ‘‘This Class E
airspace area is effective during specific
dates and times established in advance
by a Notice to Airmen. The effective
date and time will thereafter be
continuously published in the Airport/
Facility Directory.’’
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraphs 6002, 6004 and
6005 of FAA Order 7400.11D, dated
August 8, 2019, and effective September
15, 2019, which is incorporated by
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designations listed in this
document will be published
subsequently in the Order. FAA Order
7400.11, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, is published yearly
and effective on September 15.

FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, is

Regulatory Notices and Analyses
The FAA has determined that this
regulation only involves an established
body of technical regulations for which
frequent and routine amendments are
necessary to keep them operationally
current, is non-controversial and
unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (1) Is not a
‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a
‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44
FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3)
does not warrant preparation of a
regulatory evaluation as the anticipated
impact is so minimal. Since this is a
routine matter that will only affect air
traffic procedures and air navigation, it
is certified that this rule, when
promulgated, would not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
Environmental Review
This proposal will be subject to an
environmental analysis in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F,
‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final
regulatory action.

§ Section

lotter on DSKBCFDHB2PROD with PROPOSALS
II. Background, Purpose, and Legal
Basis
Recurring race, swim, and other
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
Charleston Zone, and (2) consolidate
into that table marine events/special
local regulations previously established
outside of Table to § 100.701. The
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:49 Jan 28, 2020
Jkt 250001
proposed new table would facilitate
management of and public access to
information about marine events within
the COTP Charleston 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. Revise the contact information in
§ 100.701(d)(1) to read ‘‘Captain of the
Port Charleston, South Carolina: (843)
740–7050.’’;
2. Delete the existing special local
regulation for the ‘‘Head of South’’ event
listed in Table § 100.701(f)(5) because it
is no longer held;
3. Establish § 100.704 for Special
Local Regulations; Marine Events
Within COTP Zone Charleston;
4. Move the remaining list of existing
marine events/special local regulations
listed in Table to § 100.701(f) under
COTP Zone Charleston; Special Local
Regulations to proposed new § 100.704,
Table to § 100.704;
5. Add new event, ‘‘Cooper River
Bridge Run’’ to proposed new Table to
§ 100.704, Line 1;
6. Add new event, ‘‘Myrtle Beach
Triathlon’’ to proposed new Table
§ 100.704, Line 3;
7. Add new event, ‘‘North Charleston
Fireworks’’ to proposed new Table
§ 100.704, Line 5;
8. Add new event, ‘‘Patriots Point
Fireworks’’ to proposed new Table
§ 100.704, Line 6;
9. Add new event, ‘‘Beaufort Water
Festival Air Show’’ to proposed new
Table § 100.704, Line 8;
10. Revise the dates for the existing
event, ‘‘Charleston Race Week’’ listed in
proposed new § 100.704, Line 2 to one
week (Monday through Sunday) in
April;
11. Revise the dates for the existing
event, ‘‘Low Country Splash’’ listed in
proposed new § 100.704, Line 4 to one
Saturday or Sunday during the last two
weeks of May or the first two weeks of
June § 100.704;
12. Revise the dates for the existing
event, ‘‘Beaufort Water Festival’’ listed
in proposed new § 100.704, Line 7 to ten
consecutive days (Friday through
Sunday) in July;
13. Revise the dates for the existing
event, ‘‘Swim Around Charleston’’
listed in proposed new § 100.704, Line
9 to one weekend day (Saturday or
Sunday) during the last two weeks of
September through the first two weeks
of October;
14. Revise the dates for the existing
event, ‘‘Charleston Parade of Boats’’ to
one weekend day (Friday, Saturday, or
Sunday) in December; and

15. Delete existing § 100.713, which
contains a special local regulation for
the Annual Harborwalk Boat Race;
Sampit River, Georgetown, SC because
it is no longer held.
The marine events listed in proposed
new Table to § 100.704 are scheduled to
occur over a particular weekend and
month each year. Exact dates are
intentionally omitted since calendar
dates for a specific weekend 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
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 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
E:\FR\FM\29JAP1.SGM
29JAP1
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 19 / Wednesday, January 29, 2020 / Proposed Rules
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.
lotter on DSKBCFDHB2PROD with PROPOSALS
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:49 Jan 28, 2020
Jkt 250001
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
Charleston 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 Record of Environmental
Consideration 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

Special Local Regulations; Recurring Marine Events, Sector
Charleston
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to revise existing regulations and
[[Page 5178]]
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) Charleston
Zone. Consolidating marine events into one table simplifies Coast Guard
oversight and public notification of special local regulations within
COTP Charleston 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 28, 2020.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2019-0691 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 LT Chad Ray, Sector Charleston

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Table of Abbreviations
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 race, swim, and other 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 Charleston 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 Charleston 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. Revise the contact information in Sec. 100.701(d)(1) to read
``Captain of the Port Charleston, South Carolina: (843) 740-7050.'';
2. Delete the existing special local regulation for the ``Head of
South'' event listed in Table Sec. 100.701(f)(5) because it is no
longer held;
3. Establish Sec. 100.704 for Special Local Regulations; Marine
Events Within COTP Zone Charleston;
4. Move the remaining list of existing marine events/special local
regulations listed in Table to Sec. 100.701(f) under COTP Zone
Charleston; Special Local Regulations to proposed new Sec. 100.704,
Table to Sec. 100.704;
5. Add new event, ``Cooper River Bridge Run'' to proposed new Table
to Sec. 100.704, Line 1;
6. Add new event, ``Myrtle Beach Triathlon'' to proposed new Table
Sec. 100.704, Line 3;
7. Add new event, ``North Charleston Fireworks'' to proposed new
Table Sec. 100.704, Line 5;
8. Add new event, ``Patriots Point Fireworks'' to proposed new
Table Sec. 100.704, Line 6;
9. Add new event, ``Beaufort Water Festival Air Show'' to proposed
new Table Sec. 100.704, Line 8;
10. Revise the dates for the existing event, ``Charleston Race
Week'' listed in proposed new Sec. 100.704, Line 2 to one week (Monday
through Sunday) in April;
11. Revise the dates for the existing event, ``Low Country Splash''
listed in proposed new Sec. 100.704, Line 4 to one Saturday or Sunday
during the last two weeks of May or the first two weeks of June Sec.
100.704;
12. Revise the dates for the existing event, ``Beaufort Water
Festival'' listed in proposed new Sec. 100.704, Line 7 to ten
consecutive days (Friday through Sunday) in July;
13. Revise the dates for the existing event, ``Swim Around
Charleston'' listed in proposed new Sec. 100.704, Line 9 to one
weekend day (Saturday or Sunday) during the last two weeks of September
through the first two weeks of October;
14. Revise the dates for the existing event, ``Charleston Parade of
Boats'' to one weekend day (Friday, Saturday, or Sunday) in December;
and
15. Delete existing Sec. 100.713, which contains a special local
regulation for the Annual Harborwalk Boat Race; Sampit River,
Georgetown, SC because it is no longer held.
The marine events listed in proposed new Table to Sec. 100.704 are
scheduled to occur over a particular weekend and month each year. Exact
dates are intentionally omitted since calendar dates for a specific
weekend 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 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 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
[[Page 5179]]
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 Charleston 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 Record of Environmental Consideration 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.
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
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this document for alternate

participants, type of vessels involved, etc.) through a Notice of
Enforcement published in the Federal Register, Local Notice to
Mariners, and Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
(a) Definitions. The following definitions apply to this section:
(1) Designated Representative. The term ``designated
representative'' means Coast Guard Patrol Commanders, including Coast

and Federal, state, and local officers designated by or assisting the
Captain of the Port (COTP) Charleston in the enforcement of the
regulated areas.
(2) Spectators. All persons and vessels not registered with the

in the table. Additionally, a Patrol Commander may be assigned to
oversee the patrol. The event patrol and Patrol Commander may be
contacted on VHF Channel 16.
(c) Special Local Regulations.
(1) The COTP Charleston or designated representative may control
the movement of all vessels in the regulated area. When hailed or
signaled by an official patrol vessel, a vessel in these areas shall
immediately comply with the directions given. Failure to do so may
result in removal from the area, citation for failure to comply, or
both.
(2) The COTP Charleston or designated representative may terminate
the event, or the operation of any vessel participating in the event,
at any time it is deemed necessary for the protection of life or
property.
