Notice of proposed rulemaking.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard proposes to
amend and update its list of recurring
safety zone regulations that take place in
the Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley area
of responsibility (AOR). This informs
the public of regularly scheduled events
that require additional safety measures
through establishing a safety zone.
Through this, the current list of
recurring safety zones is proposed to be
updated with revisions, additional
events, and removal of events that no
longer take place. When these safety
zones are enforced, vessel traffic is
restricted from the specified areas.
Additionally, this proposed rulemaking
project reduces administrative costs
involved in producing separate
proposed rules for each individual
recurring safety zone and serves to
provide notice of the known recurring
safety zones throughout the year. We
invite your comments on this proposed
rulemaking.
DATES: Comments and related material
must be received by the Coast Guard on
or before March 16, 2020.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
identified by docket number USCG–
2020–0037 using the Federal
eRulemaking Portal at https://

§ Section
U.S.C. United States Code
AOR Area of Responsibility
II. Background, Purpose, and Legal
Basis
The Captain of the Port, Sector Ohio
Valley (COTP) proposes to amend 33
CFR 165.801 to update regulations for
annual fireworks displays and other
events in the Eighth Coast Guard
District requiring safety zones with
respect to those in Sector Ohio Valley.
The current list of annual and
recurring safety zones occurring in
Sector Ohio Valley’s area of
responsibility (AOR) is published under
33 CFR 165.801 in Table no. 1 for
annual safety zones in the COTP Ohio
Valley zone. The most recent list was
created May 3, 2019 through the
rulemaking 84 FR 18975.
The Coast Guard proposed to amend
and update the safety zone regulations
under 33 CFR part 165 to include the
most up to date list of recurring safety
zones for events held on or around
navigable waters within Sector Ohio
Valley’s AOR. These events include air
shows, fireworks displays, and other
marine related events requiring a
limited access area restricting vessel
traffic for safety purposes. The current
list in 33 CFR 165.801 needs to be
amended to provide new information on
existing safety zones, and to include
new safety zones expected to recur
annually or biannually, and to remove
safety zones that are no longer required.
Issuing individual regulations for each
new safety zone, amendment, or
removal of an existing safety zone
creates unnecessary administrative costs
and burdens. This single proposed
rulemaking will considerably reduce
administrative overhead and provide
the public with notice through
publication in the Federal Register of
the upcoming recurring safety zone
regulations.
E:\FR\FM\14FEP1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 31 / Friday, February 14, 2020 / Proposed Rules
The Coast Guard encourages the
public to participate in this proposed
rulemaking through the comment
process so that any necessary changes
can be identified and implemented in a
timely and efficient manner. The Coast
Guard will address all public comments
accordingly, whether through response,
additional revision to the regulation, or
otherwise. Additionally, these recurring
events are provided to the public
through local avenues and planned by
the local communities.
III. Discussion of the Proposed Rule
Part 165 of 33 CFR contains
regulations establishing limited access
areas to restrict vessel traffic for the
safety of persons and property. Section
165.801 establishes recurring safety
zones to restrict vessel transit into and
through specified areas to protect
spectators, mariners, and other persons
and property from potential hazards
presented during certain events taking
place in Sector Ohio Valley’s AOR. This
section requires amendment from time
to time to properly reflect the recurring
safety zone regulations in Sector Ohio
Valley’s AOR. This proposed rule
amends and updates § 165.801 by
revising the current table for Sector
Ohio Valley.
Additionally, this proposed rule adds
10 new recurring safety zones, removes
01 recurring events and amends the
date, regulated area, and/or name for 20
recurring safety zones already listed in
§ 165.801 as follows:
This proposed rule would add the
following 10 safety zones to the existing

The effect of this proposed rule would
be to restrict general navigation in the
safety zone during the events. Vessels
intending to transit the designated
waterway through the safety zone will
only be allowed to transit the area when
COTP, or a designated representative,
has deemed it safe to do so or at the
completion of the event. The proposed
annually recurring safety zones are
necessary to provide for the safety of life
on navigable waters during the events.

IV. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed rule after
considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking.
Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and
Executive orders and we discuss First
Amendment rights of protestors.
A. Regulatory Planning and Review
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
direct agencies to assess the costs and
benefits of available regulatory
alternatives and, if regulation is
necessary, to select regulatory
approaches that maximize net benefits.
Executive Order 13771 directs agencies
to control regulatory costs through a

budgeting process. This NPRM has not
been designated a ‘‘significant
regulatory action,’’ under Executive
Order 12866. Accordingly, the NPRM
has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and
pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive
Order 13771.
The Coast Guard expects the
economic impact of this proposed rule
to be minimal, therefore a full regulatory
evaluation is unnecessary. This
proposed rule establishes safety zones
limiting access to certain areas under 33
CFR 165 within Sector Ohio Valley’s
AOR. The effect of this proposed
rulemaking will not be significant
because these safety zones are limited in
scope and duration. Additionally, the
public is given advance notification
through local forms of notice, the
Federal Register, and/or Notices of
Enforcement and, thus, will be able to
plan operations around the safety zones.
Also, advance Broadcast Notices to
Mariners and Local Notices to Mariners
will inform the community of these
safety zones. Vessel traffic may request
permission from the COTP or a

designated representative to enter the
restricted 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,
E:\FR\FM\14FEP1.SGM
14FEP1
8512
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 31 / Friday, February 14, 2020 / Proposed Rules
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
proposed 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 will not call for a
new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501–3520.).
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
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 call or email 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:35 Feb 13, 2020
Jkt 250001
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. Normally such
actions are categorically excluded from
further review under paragraph L60(a)
of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS
Instruction Manual 023–01–001–01,
Rev. 01. A preliminary Record of
Environmental Consideration
supporting this determination is
available in the docket. For instructions
on locating the docket, see the
ADDRESSES section of this preamble. 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 call or email 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

Safety Zones; Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley Annual and Recurring
Safety Zones Update
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to amend and update its list of
recurring safety zone regulations that take place in the Coast Guard
Sector Ohio Valley area of responsibility (AOR). This informs the
public of regularly scheduled events that require additional safety
measures through establishing a safety zone. Through this, the current
list of recurring safety zones is proposed to be updated with
revisions, additional events, and removal of events that no longer take
place. When these safety zones are enforced, vessel traffic is
restricted from the specified areas. Additionally, this proposed
rulemaking project reduces administrative costs involved in producing
separate proposed rules for each individual recurring safety zone and
serves to provide notice of the known recurring safety zones throughout
the year. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before March 16, 2020.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2020-0037 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 on this proposed
rule, call or email Petty Officer Riley Jackson, Sector Ohio Valley,
U.S. Coast Guard; telephone (502) 779-5347, email [email protected].

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis
The Captain of the Port, Sector Ohio Valley (COTP) proposes to
amend 33 CFR 165.801 to update regulations for annual fireworks
displays and other events in the Eighth Coast Guard District requiring
safety zones with respect to those in Sector Ohio Valley.
The current list of annual and recurring safety zones occurring in
Sector Ohio Valley's area of responsibility (AOR) is published under 33
CFR 165.801 in Table no. 1 for annual safety zones in the COTP Ohio
Valley zone. The most recent list was created May 3, 2019 through the
rulemaking 84 FR 18975.
The Coast Guard proposed to amend and update the safety zone
regulations under 33 CFR part 165 to include the most up to date list
of recurring safety zones for events held on or around navigable waters
within Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. These events include air shows,
fireworks displays, and other marine related events requiring a limited
access area restricting vessel traffic for safety purposes. The current
list in 33 CFR 165.801 needs to be amended to provide new information
on existing safety zones, and to include new safety zones expected to
recur annually or biannually, and to remove safety zones that are no
longer required. Issuing individual regulations for each new safety
zone, amendment, or removal of an existing safety zone creates
unnecessary administrative costs and burdens. This single proposed
rulemaking will considerably reduce administrative overhead and provide
the public with notice through publication in the Federal Register of
the upcoming recurring safety zone regulations.
[[Page 8510]]
The Coast Guard encourages the public to participate in this
proposed rulemaking through the comment process so that any necessary
changes can be identified and implemented in a timely and efficient
manner. The Coast Guard will address all public comments accordingly,
whether through response, additional revision to the regulation, or
otherwise. Additionally, these recurring events are provided to the
public through local avenues and planned by the local communities.
III. Discussion of the Proposed Rule
Part 165 of 33 CFR contains regulations establishing limited access
areas to restrict vessel traffic for the safety of persons and
property. Section 165.801 establishes recurring safety zones to
restrict vessel transit into and through specified areas to protect
spectators, mariners, and other persons and property from potential
hazards presented during certain events taking place in Sector Ohio
Valley's AOR. This section requires amendment from time to time to
properly reflect the recurring safety zone regulations in Sector Ohio
Valley's AOR. This proposed rule amends and updates Sec. 165.801 by
revising the current table for Sector Ohio Valley.
Additionally, this proposed rule adds 10 new recurring safety
zones, removes 01 recurring events and amends the date, regulated area,
and/or name for 20 recurring safety zones already listed in Sec.
165.801 as follows:
This proposed rule would add the following 10 safety zones to the
existing Table 1 of Sec. 165.801 as follows:

The effect of this proposed rule would be to restrict general
navigation in the safety zone during the events. Vessels intending to
transit the designated waterway through the safety zone will only be
allowed to transit the area when COTP, or a designated representative,
has deemed it safe to do so or at the completion of the event. The
proposed annually recurring safety zones are necessary to provide for
the safety of life on navigable waters during the events.
IV. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders and
we discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.
A. Regulatory Planning and Review
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This NPRM has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, the NPRM has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
The Coast Guard expects the economic impact of this proposed rule
to be minimal, therefore a full regulatory evaluation is unnecessary.
This proposed rule establishes safety zones limiting access to certain
areas under 33 CFR 165 within Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. The effect of
this proposed rulemaking will not be significant because these safety
zones are limited in scope and duration. Additionally, the public is
given advance notification through local forms of notice, the Federal
Register, and/or Notices of Enforcement and, thus, will be able to plan
operations around the safety zones. Also, advance Broadcast Notices to
Mariners and Local Notices to Mariners will inform the community of
these safety zones. Vessel traffic may request permission from the COTP
or a designated representative to enter the restricted 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,
[[Page 8512]]
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 proposed 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 will not call for a new collection of
information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520.).
D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments
A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132
(Federalism), if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on
the relationship between the national government and the States, or on
the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels
of government. We have analyzed this 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 call or email 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. Normally such actions are
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L60(a) of
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 01. A
preliminary Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this
determination is available in the docket. For instructions on locating
the docket, see the ADDRESSES section of this preamble. 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 call or email 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, call or email the person
in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this document for
alternate instructions.
We accept anonymous comments. All comments received will be posted
without change to https://www.regulations.gov and will include any
personal information you have provided. For more about privacy and
submissions in response to this document, see DHS's Correspondence
System of Records notice (84 FR 48645, September 26, 2018).
Documents mentioned in this NPRM as being available in the docket,
and all public comments, will be in our online docket at https://www.regulations.gov and can be viewed by following that website's
instructions. Additionally, if you go to the online docket and sign up
for email alerts, you will be notified when comments are posted or a
final rule is published.
