This rulemaking project was
identified as part of the Coast Guard’s
Regulatory Reform Task Force Initiative.
These field regulation changes were
identified as part of the deregulation
identification process required by
Executive Order 13771 (Reducing
Regulation and Controlling Regulatory
Costs), Executive Order 13777
(Enforcing the Regulatory Reform
Agenda Deregulatory Process), and
associated guidance issued in 2017.
This rule makes technical and editorial
corrections in Title 33 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR). Specifically,
the rule removes safety zones, security
zones, and special local regulations
where the event is no longer held. This
rule also removes special anchorage
areas that are no longer used, and
redesignates certain special anchorage
areas in the Hawaiian Islands and Guam
so they are grouped in the CFR as
District 14 anchorages. Additionally, the
rule removes outdated references to
penalties in regulations governing
certain regulated navigation areas in
Florida and Georgia, and updates
Captain of the Port (COTP) information
in regulations for certain regulated
navigation areas and security zones in
Kentucky, Ohio, and Missouri. These
changes are necessary to correct errors,
change addresses, and make other nonsubstantive changes that improve the
clarity of the CFR. This rule does not
create or change any substantive
requirements.
The changes to 33 CFR part 1 are
authorized under 14 U.S.C. 503, which
grants the Secretary of the Department
of Homeland Security (DHS) broad
authority to promulgate such
regulations as are appropriate to carry
out the provisions of any law applicable
to the Coast Guard. The changes to 33

AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard is issuing
non-substantive technical,
organizational, and conforming
amendments to existing regulations in
parts 1, 100, 110, and 165 of Title 33 of
the Code of Federal Regulations. These
amendments update and clarify general
regulations in part 1, and update
regulations for Field Districts 5, 8, 9, 11,
13, 14, and 17 to reflect the current
status of regulated navigation areas,
special local regulations, anchorages,
safety zones, and security zones. This
rule will have no substantive effect on
the regulated public.
DATES: This final rule is effective March
16, 2020.

II. Regulatory History
We did not publish a notice of
proposed rulemaking for this rule.
Under Title 5 of the United States Code
(U.S.C.), section 553(b)(A), the Coast
Guard finds that this rule is exempt
from notice and public comment
rulemaking requirements because these
changes involve rules of agency
organization, procedure, or practice. In
addition, the Coast Guard finds that
notice and comment procedures are
unnecessary under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), as
this rule consists only of technical and
editorial corrections, and these changes
will have no substantive effect on the
public.

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 30 / Thursday, February 13, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
CFR part 100 are specifically authorized
under 46 U.S.C. 70041(a), which vests
the Commandant of the Coast Guard
with authority to issue regulations to
promote the safety of life on navigable
waters during regattas or marine
parades. The changes to 33 CFR parts
110 and 165 are authorized under the
general authority of 46 U.S.C. 70034,
granting the Secretary of DHS broad
authority to issue, amend, or repeal
regulations as necessary to implement
46 U.S.C. chapter 700, Ports and
Waterways Safety Program. The
Secretary has delegated rulemaking
authority under 14 U.S.C. 503 and 46
U.S.C. 70034 to the Commandant via
DHS Delegation No. 0170.1.1
IV. Discussion of the Rule
The Coast Guard amends 33 CFR parts
1, 100, 110, and 165 by removing
outdated event references and updating
contact information in Coast Guard
Field Districts 5, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, and 17.
jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with RULES
A. Changes to 33 CFR Part 1 General
Provisions
In § 1.05–1 the following changes are
being made:
It amends paragraphs (d) and (d)(1) by
updating the title of the Assistant
Commandant for Reponse Policy;
It amends paragraph (e) to clarify that
the types of regulations Coast Guard
District Commanders are authorized to
issue include the establishment of safety
zones around facilities being
constructed maintained, or operated on
the Outer Continental Shelf. This is not
a new delegation of authority. District
Commanders have been delegated the
authority to issue and enforce safety
zone regulations on the Outer
Continental Shelf since 1982 and that
authority is codified in Coast Guard
regulations at 33 CFR 147.5 (47 FR 9366,
9386, March 4, 1982). The lack of
inclusion of this authority in the general
list of delegated authorities at § 1.05–1
was a drafting oversight which we now
wish to correct;
It amends paragraph (g) by updating
the title of the Assistant Commandant
for Reponse Policy; and
It amends paragraph (h) by updating
the office symbol for the Office of
Regulations and Administrative Law.
In § 1.05–20, the Coast Guard is
amending the mailing address for
petitions for rulemaking. Currently
§ 1.05–20 directs the public to mail
petitions to CG–0943, to the attention of
the Executive Secretary of the Marine
Safety and Security Counsel. For
1 The Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2018,
Public Law 115–282, 132 Stat. 4192 (Dec. 4, 2018)
redesignated 33 U.S.C. 1231 as 46 U.S.C. 70034.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

expediency in directing incoming
petitions to the proper office within the
Coast Guard, we are amending this
regulation to state that the public should
mail petitions to the Office of
Regulations and Administrative Law
(CG–LRA). The Executive Secretary for
the Marine Safety and Security Counsel
resides within the Office of Regulations
and Administrative Law. The Office of
Regulations and Administrative Law,
previously identified with the
abbreviation CG–0943, was re-identified
as CG–LRA several years ago; and
In § 1.05–50 the following changes are
made regarding final rules:
The paragraph discussing rules issued
through notice and comment first and
then promulgation without notice and
comment is being restructured. This
proposed change reflects the
requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553 which
requires agencies to allow the public to
comment on rules prior to issuance
except under certain specified
conditions. Also, we are clarifying that
the preamble to a final rule must
respond to all significant comments, not
necessarily all comments. We generally
mention all comments that we received,
even if only to note that some comments
were outside the scope or completely
not applicable to the rulemaking.
However, we do not otherwise address
the merits or spend as much time on
comments that did not relate to the
rulemaking.
B. Changes to 33 CFR Part 100 General
Provisions
In 33 CFR part 100, the following
Special Local Regulations are being
changed:
In Table 7 of § 100.801, item 3 (Battle
on the Bayou) and item 5
(Chattahoochee Challenge) are being
removed, as these events are no longer
issued permits;
In Table 1 of § 100.1101, item 7 (ITU
World Triathlon), item 8 (Fearless
Triathlon), and item 9 (Bay to Bay
Rowing and Paddling Regatta) are being
removed, as these events are no longer
issued permits;
In Table 1 of § 100.1103, item 1
(Redwood Heron Sprints Regatta), item
2 (Stockton Asparagus Festival), item 5
(Kinetic Sculpture Race), item 6
(Sacramento Bridge-to-Bridge Water
Festival), and item 7 (Humboldt Bay
Paddle Fest) are being removed, as these
events are no longer issued permits;
Section 100.1306 (National Maritime
Week Tugboat Races) is being removed
because this event no longer occurs; and
Section 100.1307 (Straight Thunder
Performance) is being removed because
this event no longer occurs.

C. Changes to 33 CFR Part 110 General
Provisions
In 33 CFR part 110, the following
anchorage areas are being changed:
The special anchorage areas located in
§ 110.65 (Indian River Bay), § 110.70
(Chesapeake and Delaware Canal), and
§ 110.71(a) (Northeast River), are being
removed because they are no longer
utilized;
The special anchorage areas located in
§ 110.128b (Island of Hawaii), § 128c
(Island of Kauai), and § 128d (Island of
Oahu) are being redesignated as
§§ 110.129, 110.129a, and 110.129b,
respectively, so that they will be
organized with the District 14
anchorages, not District 13;
The special anchorage area in
§ 110.129a (Apra Harbor) is being
redesignated as § 110.129c because
§ 110.128c has been redesignated above
as § 110.129a; and
The special anchorage area listed in
§ 110.232 (Southeast Alaska) is being
removed, as this anchorage is no longer
used.
D. Changes to 33 CFR Part 165 General
Provisions
In 33 CFR part 165, the following
provisions are being changed:
The security zones in § 165.T08–0994
(Mississippi River, New Orleans), the
safety zone in § 165.T09–0971
(Overhead Cable Replacement, Maumee
River), the safety zone in § 165.T11–504
(Independence Day Fireworks
Celebration for the City of Richmond),
and the safety zone in § 165.T11–630
(Giants Enterprises Fireworks Display)
are being removed, as the enforcement
periods for these regulations have
expired;
Outdated reference to penalities in
§ 165.726 (Regulated Navigation Areas,
Miami River) and § 165.756 (Regulated
Navigation Area, Savannah River) are
being removed;
In Table 7 of § 165.801, the safety
zones are being removed in item 1 (Go
Daddy Bowl), item 3 (Billy Bowlegs
Pirate Festival), and item 5 (Fourth of
July Celebration City of Fort Walton
Beach) as these events no longer occur;
The security zones in § 165.809 (Port
of Port Lavaca-Point Comfort, Point
Comfort, and Port of Corpus Christi
Inner Harbor) are being removed as this
security zone was removed in 2005 by
previous regulation (70 FR 9363).
The regulated navigation area in
§ 165.815, paragraph (c) (Ohio River at
Louisville, Kentucky) is being revised to
provide correct Captain of the Port
(COTP) information;
The security zone in § 165.820,
paragraph (b) (Ohio River Mile 34.6 to
E:\FR\FM\13FER1.SGM
13FER1
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 30 / Thursday, February 13, 2020 / Rules and Regulations

being revised to provide correct COTP
information;
The regulated navigation area in
§ 165.821, paragraph (b) (Ohio River at
Cincinnati, Ohio) is being revised to
provide correct COTP information; and
The security zones in § 165.825,
paragraph (b) (Captain of the Port St.
Louis, Missouri) are being revised to
provide correct COTP information.
IV. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after
considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking.
Below we summarize our analyses
based on these statutes or Executive
orders.
jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with RULES
A. Regulatory Planning and Review
Executive Orders 12866 (Regulatory
Planning and Review) and 13563
(Improving Regulation and Regulatory
Review) 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
(including potential economic,
environmental, public health and safety
effects, distributive impacts, and
equity). Executive Order 13563
emphasizes the importance of
quantifying both costs and benefits, of
reducing costs, of harmonizing rules,
and of promoting flexibility. Executive
Order 13771 (Reducing Regulation and
Controlling Regulatory Costs) directs
agencies to reduce regulation and
control regulatory costs and provides
that ‘‘for every one new regulation
issued, at least two prior regulations be
identified for elimination, and that the
cost of planned regulations be prudently
managed and controlled through a
budgeting process.’’
The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) has not designated this rule a
significant regulatory action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866.
Accordingly, OMB has not reviewed it.
Because this rule is not a significant
regulatory action, this rule is exempt
from the requirements of Executive
Order 13771. See the OMB’s
Memorandum titled ‘‘Guidance
Implementing Executive Order 13771,
titled ‘Reducing Regulation and
Controlling Regulatory Costs’ ’’ (April 5,
2017). A regulatory analysis (RA)
follows. This rule involves nonsubstantive changes and internal agency
practices and procedures; it will not
impose any additional costs on the
public. The benefit of the nonsubstantive changes is increased clarity
and accuracy of regulations.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 250001
B. Impact on Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act,
5 U.S.C. 601–612, we have considered
whether this rule would have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
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. This
rule will have no substantive effect on
the regulated public. Therefore, 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.
This rule is not preceded by a notice
of proposed rulemaking and, therefore is
exempt from the requirements of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C.
601–612). The Regulatory Flexibility
Act does not apply when notice and
comment rulemaking is not required.
C. Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996, Public Law 104–
121, we offer to assist small entities in
understanding this rule so that they can
better evaluate its effects on them and
participate in the rulemaking. 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.
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).
D. Collection of Information
This rule calls for no new collection
of information under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501–
3520.
E. Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism
under Executive Order 13132
(Federalism) if it has a substantial direct
effect on 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
PO 00000
Frm 00041
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
8171
analyzed this rule under Executive
Order 13132 and have determined that
it is consistent with the fundamental
federalism principles and preemption
requirements described in Executive
Order 13132.
F. 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. Although this rule
would not result in such an
expenditure, we do discuss the effects of
this rule elsewhere in this preamble.
G. Taking of Private Property
This rule will not cause a taking of
private property or otherwise have
taking implications under Executive
Order 12630 (Governmental Actions and
Interference with Constitutionally
Protected Property Rights).
H. Civil Justice Reform
This rule meets applicable standards
in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive
Order 12988 (Civil Justice Reform) to
minimize litigation, eliminate
ambiguity, and reduce burden.
I. Protection of Children
We have analyzed this rule under
Executive Order 13045 (Protection of
Children from Environmental Health
Risks and Safety Risks). This rule is not
an economically significant rule and
would not create an environmental risk
to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.
J. Indian Tribal Governments
This 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.
K. Energy Effects
We have analyzed this rule under
Executive Order 13211 (Actions
Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use). We have
determined that it is not a ‘‘significant
energy action’’ under that order because
it is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’
E:\FR\FM\13FER1.SGM
13FER1
8172
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 30 / Thursday, February 13, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
under Executive Order 12866 and is not
likely to have a significant adverse effect
on the supply, distribution, or use of
energy.
jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with RULES
L. Technical Standards
The National Technology Transfer
and Advancement Act, codified as a
note to 15 U.S.C. 272, directs agencies
to use voluntary consensus standards in
their regulatory activities unless the
agency provides Congress, through
OMB, with an explanation of why using
these standards would be inconsistent
with applicable law or otherwise
impractical. Voluntary consensus
standards are technical standards (e.g.,
specifications of materials, performance,
design, or operation; test methods;
sampling procedures; and related
management systems practices) that are
developed or adopted by voluntary
consensus standards bodies. This rule
does not use technical standards.
Therefore, we did not consider the use
of voluntary consensus standards.
M. Environment
We have analyzed this rule under
Department of Homeland Security
Management 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 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. A Record of
Environmental Consideration (REC)
supporting this determination is
available in the docket. For instructions
on locating the docket, see the
ADDRESSES section of this preamble. A
preliminary Record of Environmental
Consideration and a Memorandum for
the Record are not required for this rule.
This rule is categorically excluded
from further review under paragraphs
L54, L55, L59 and L61 in Appendix A,
Table 1 of DHS Directive 023–01.
Paragraph L54 pertains to promulgation
of regulations that are editorial or
procedural; paragraph L55 pertains to
regulations concerning internal agency
function or organization; paragraph L59
pertains to regulations establishing,
disestablishing, or changing the size of
Special Anchorage Areas or anchorage
grounds; paragraph L61 pertains to
special local regulations issues in
conjunction with a regatta or marine
parade. This rule amends Title 33 CFR
parts 1, 100, 110, and 165 by updating
and clarifying general regulations and
by removing outdated event references

and updating contact information in
Coast Guard Field Districts 5, 8, 9, 11,
13, 14, and 17. These regulation changes
are consistent with the Coast Guard’s
maritime safety and stewardship
missions.

II. Regulatory History
We did not publish a notice of proposed rulemaking for this rule.
Under Title 5 of the United States Code (U.S.C.), section 553(b)(A),
the Coast Guard finds that this rule is exempt from notice and public
comment rulemaking requirements because these changes involve rules of
agency organization, procedure, or practice. In addition, the Coast
Guard finds that notice and comment procedures are unnecessary under 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(B), as this rule consists only of technical and editorial
corrections, and these changes will have no substantive effect on the
public.
III. Basis and Purpose
This rulemaking project was identified as part of the Coast Guard's
Regulatory Reform Task Force Initiative. These field regulation changes
were identified as part of the deregulation identification process
required by Executive Order 13771 (Reducing Regulation and Controlling
Regulatory Costs), Executive Order 13777 (Enforcing the Regulatory
Reform Agenda Deregulatory Process), and associated guidance issued in
2017. This rule makes technical and editorial corrections in Title 33
of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Specifically, the rule
removes safety zones, security zones, and special local regulations
where the event is no longer held. This rule also removes special
anchorage areas that are no longer used, and redesignates certain
special anchorage areas in the Hawaiian Islands and Guam so they are
grouped in the CFR as District 14 anchorages. Additionally, the rule
removes outdated references to penalties in regulations governing
certain regulated navigation areas in Florida and Georgia, and updates
Captain of the Port (COTP) information in regulations for certain
regulated navigation areas and security zones in Kentucky, Ohio, and
Missouri. These changes are necessary to correct errors, change
addresses, and make other non-substantive changes that improve the
clarity of the CFR. This rule does not create or change any substantive
requirements.
The changes to 33 CFR part 1 are authorized under 14 U.S.C. 503,
which grants the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
broad authority to promulgate such regulations as are appropriate to
carry out the provisions of any law applicable to the Coast Guard. The
changes to 33
[[Page 8170]]
CFR part 100 are specifically authorized under 46 U.S.C. 70041(a),
which vests the Commandant of the Coast Guard with authority to issue
regulations to promote the safety of life on navigable waters during
regattas or marine parades. The changes to 33 CFR parts 110 and 165 are
authorized under the general authority of 46 U.S.C. 70034, granting the
Secretary of DHS broad authority to issue, amend, or repeal regulations
as necessary to implement 46 U.S.C. chapter 700, Ports and Waterways
Safety Program. The Secretary has delegated rulemaking authority under
14 U.S.C. 503 and 46 U.S.C. 70034 to the Commandant via DHS Delegation
No. 0170.1.\1\

U.S.C. 70034.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
IV. Discussion of the Rule
The Coast Guard amends 33 CFR parts 1, 100, 110, and 165 by
removing outdated event references and updating contact information in
Coast Guard Field Districts 5, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, and 17.
A. Changes to 33 CFR Part 1 General Provisions
In Sec. 1.05-1 the following changes are being made:
It amends paragraphs (d) and (d)(1) by updating the title of the
Assistant Commandant for Reponse Policy;
It amends paragraph (e) to clarify that the types of regulations
Coast Guard District Commanders are authorized to issue include the
establishment of safety zones around facilities being constructed
maintained, or operated on the Outer Continental Shelf. This is not a
new delegation of authority. District Commanders have been delegated
the authority to issue and enforce safety zone regulations on the Outer
Continental Shelf since 1982 and that authority is codified in Coast
Guard regulations at 33 CFR 147.5 (47 FR 9366, 9386, March 4, 1982).
The lack of inclusion of this authority in the general list of
delegated authorities at Sec. 1.05-1 was a drafting oversight which we
now wish to correct;
It amends paragraph (g) by updating the title of the Assistant
Commandant for Reponse Policy; and
It amends paragraph (h) by updating the office symbol for the
Office of Regulations and Administrative Law.
In Sec. 1.05-20, the Coast Guard is amending the mailing address
for petitions for rulemaking. Currently Sec. 1.05-20 directs the
public to mail petitions to CG-0943, to the attention of the Executive
Secretary of the Marine Safety and Security Counsel. For expediency in
directing incoming petitions to the proper office within the Coast
Guard, we are amending this regulation to state that the public should
mail petitions to the Office of Regulations and Administrative Law (CG-
LRA). The Executive Secretary for the Marine Safety and Security
Counsel resides within the Office of Regulations and Administrative
Law. The Office of Regulations and Administrative Law, previously
identified with the abbreviation CG-0943, was re-identified as CG-LRA
several years ago; and
In Sec. 1.05-50 the following changes are made regarding final
rules:
The paragraph discussing rules issued through notice and comment
first and then promulgation without notice and comment is being
restructured. This proposed change reflects the requirements of 5
U.S.C. 553 which requires agencies to allow the public to comment on
rules prior to issuance except under certain specified conditions.
Also, we are clarifying that the preamble to a final rule must respond
to all significant comments, not necessarily all comments. We generally
mention all comments that we received, even if only to note that some
comments were outside the scope or completely not applicable to the
rulemaking. However, we do not otherwise address the merits or spend as
much time on comments that did not relate to the rulemaking.
B. Changes to 33 CFR Part 100 General Provisions
In 33 CFR part 100, the following Special Local Regulations are
being changed:
In Table 7 of Sec. 100.801, item 3 (Battle on the Bayou) and item
5 (Chattahoochee Challenge) are being removed, as these events are no
longer issued permits;
In Table 1 of Sec. 100.1101, item 7 (ITU World Triathlon), item 8
(Fearless Triathlon), and item 9 (Bay to Bay Rowing and Paddling
Regatta) are being removed, as these events are no longer issued
permits;
In Table 1 of Sec. 100.1103, item 1 (Redwood Heron Sprints
Regatta), item 2 (Stockton Asparagus Festival), item 5 (Kinetic
Sculpture Race), item 6 (Sacramento Bridge-to-Bridge Water Festival),
and item 7 (Humboldt Bay Paddle Fest) are being removed, as these
events are no longer issued permits;
Section 100.1306 (National Maritime Week Tugboat Races) is being
removed because this event no longer occurs; and
Section 100.1307 (Straight Thunder Performance) is being removed
because this event no longer occurs.
C. Changes to 33 CFR Part 110 General Provisions
In 33 CFR part 110, the following anchorage areas are being
changed:
The special anchorage areas located in Sec. 110.65 (Indian River
Bay), Sec. 110.70 (Chesapeake and Delaware Canal), and Sec. 110.71(a)
(Northeast River), are being removed because they are no longer
utilized;
The special anchorage areas located in Sec. 110.128b (Island of
Hawaii), Sec. 128c (Island of Kauai), and Sec. 128d (Island of Oahu)
are being redesignated as Sec. Sec. 110.129, 110.129a, and 110.129b,
respectively, so that they will be organized with the District 14
anchorages, not District 13;
The special anchorage area in Sec. 110.129a (Apra Harbor) is being
redesignated as Sec. 110.129c because Sec. 110.128c has been
redesignated above as Sec. 110.129a; and
The special anchorage area listed in Sec. 110.232 (Southeast
Alaska) is being removed, as this anchorage is no longer used.
D. Changes to 33 CFR Part 165 General Provisions
In 33 CFR part 165, the following provisions are being changed:
The security zones in Sec. 165.T08-0994 (Mississippi River, New
Orleans), the safety zone in Sec. 165.T09-0971 (Overhead Cable
Replacement, Maumee River), the safety zone in Sec. 165.T11-504
(Independence Day Fireworks Celebration for the City of Richmond), and
the safety zone in Sec. 165.T11-630 (Giants Enterprises Fireworks
Display) are being removed, as the enforcement periods for these
regulations have expired;
Outdated reference to penalities in Sec. 165.726 (Regulated
Navigation Areas, Miami River) and Sec. 165.756 (Regulated Navigation
Area, Savannah River) are being removed;
In Table 7 of Sec. 165.801, the safety zones are being removed in
item 1 (Go Daddy Bowl), item 3 (Billy Bowlegs Pirate Festival), and
item 5 (Fourth of July Celebration City of Fort Walton Beach) as these
events no longer occur;
The security zones in Sec. 165.809 (Port of Port Lavaca-Point
Comfort, Point Comfort, and Port of Corpus Christi Inner Harbor) are
being removed as this security zone was removed in 2005 by previous
regulation (70 FR 9363).
The regulated navigation area in Sec. 165.815, paragraph (c) (Ohio
River at Louisville, Kentucky) is being revised to provide correct
Captain of the Port (COTP) information;
The security zone in Sec. 165.820, paragraph (b) (Ohio River Mile
34.6 to
[[Page 8171]]
35.1, Shippingport, Pennsylvania) is being revised to provide correct
COTP information;
The regulated navigation area in Sec. 165.821, paragraph (b) (Ohio
River at Cincinnati, Ohio) is being revised to provide correct COTP
information; and
The security zones in Sec. 165.825, paragraph (b) (Captain of the
Port St. Louis, Missouri) are being revised to provide correct COTP
information.
IV. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on these statutes or Executive orders.
A. Regulatory Planning and Review
Executive Orders 12866 (Regulatory Planning and Review) and 13563
(Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review) 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 (including potential economic, environmental, public
health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). Executive
Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and
benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. Executive Order 13771 (Reducing Regulation and Controlling
Regulatory Costs) directs agencies to reduce regulation and control
regulatory costs and provides that ``for every one new regulation
issued, at least two prior regulations be identified for elimination,
and that the cost of planned regulations be prudently managed and
controlled through a budgeting process.''
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has not designated this
rule a significant regulatory action under section 3(f) of Executive
Order 12866. Accordingly, OMB has not reviewed it. Because this rule is
not a significant regulatory action, this rule is exempt from the
requirements of Executive Order 13771. See the OMB's Memorandum titled
``Guidance Implementing Executive Order 13771, titled `Reducing
Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs' '' (April 5, 2017). A
regulatory analysis (RA) follows. This rule involves non-substantive
changes and internal agency practices and procedures; it will not
impose any additional costs on the public. The benefit of the non-
substantive changes is increased clarity and accuracy of regulations.
B. Impact on Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, we have
considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities. 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.
This rule will have no substantive effect on the regulated public.
Therefore, 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.
This rule is not preceded by a notice of proposed rulemaking and,
therefore is exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612). The Regulatory Flexibility Act does not apply
when notice and comment rulemaking is not required.
C. Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996, Public Law 104-121, we offer to assist small
entities in understanding this rule so that they can better evaluate
its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. 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.
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).
D. Collection of Information
This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520.
E. Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132
(Federalism) if it has a substantial direct effect on 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 Executive Order 13132 and
have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
F. 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. Although this rule would not result
in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.
G. Taking of Private Property
This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630 (Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights).
H. Civil Justice Reform
This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988 (Civil Justice Reform) to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.
I. Protection of Children
We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045 (Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks). This
rule is not an economically significant rule and would not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.
J. Indian Tribal Governments
This 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.
K. Energy Effects
We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211 (Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use). We have determined that it is not a
``significant energy action'' under that order because it is not a
``significant regulatory action''
[[Page 8172]]
under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to have a significant
adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy.
L. Technical Standards
The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act, codified as a
note to 15 U.S.C. 272, directs agencies to use voluntary consensus
standards in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides
Congress, through OMB, with an explanation of why using these standards
would be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical.
Voluntary consensus standards are technical standards (e.g.,
specifications of materials, performance, design, or operation; test
methods; sampling procedures; and related management systems practices)
that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies.
This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.
M. Environment
We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management 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
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. A Record of Environmental Consideration (REC) supporting
this determination is available in the docket. For instructions on
locating the docket, see the ADDRESSES section of this preamble. A
preliminary Record of Environmental Consideration and a Memorandum for
