this paragraph (c)(2)(iv), the expenses
associated with the food and beverages are
not subject to the deduction limitations in
paragraph (a) of this section, because over 50
percent of the food and beverages are
primarily consumed by camp attendees.
Thus, R may deduct 100 percent of the food
and beverage expenses.
(4) Example 4. Employer S provides food
and beverages to its employees without
charge at a company cafeteria on its
premises. Occasionally, customers or other
visitors also eat without charge in the
cafeteria. The occasional consumption of
food and beverages at the company cafeteria
by customers and visitors is less than 50
percent of the total amount of food and
beverages consumed at the cafeteria.
Therefore, only the costs attributable to the
food and beverages provided to the general
public are excepted under section 274(e)(7)
and this paragraph (c)(2)(iv).
(v) Goods or services sold to
customers—(A) In general. An expense
paid or incurred for food or beverages,
to the extent the food or beverages are
sold to customers in a bona fide
transaction for an adequate and full
consideration in money or money’s
worth, is not subject to the deduction
limitations in paragraph (a) of this
section. However, money or money’s
worth does not include payment
through services provided. Under this
paragraph (c)(2)(v), a restaurant or
catering business may deduct 100
percent of its costs for food or beverage
items, purchased in connection with
preparing and providing meals to its
paying customers, which are also
consumed at the worksite by employees
who work in the employer’s restaurant
or catering business. In addition, for
purposes of this paragraph (c)(2)(v), the
term customer includes anyone,
including an employee of the taxpayer,
who is sold food or beverages in a bona
fide transaction for an adequate and full
consideration in money or money’s
worth.
(B) Example. The following example
illustrates the application of this
paragraph (c)(2)(v). Employer T operates
a restaurant. T provides food and
beverages to its food service employees
before, during, and after their shifts for
no consideration. Under section
274(e)(8) and this paragraph (c)(2)(v),
the expenses associated with the food
and beverages provided to the
employees are not subject to the 50
percent deduction limitation in
paragraph (a) of this section because the
restaurant sells food and beverages to
customers in a bona fide transaction for
an adequate and full consideration in
money or money’s worth. Thus, T may
deduct 100 percent of the food and
beverage expenses.

Notice of proposed rulemaking.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard is proposing
to add, delete, and modify the special
local regulations for annual recurring
marine events and safety zones
regulation for firework displays and
swim events in Coast Guard Sector
Northern New England Captain of the
Port Zone. When enforced, these special
local regulations and safety zones will
restrict vessels from transiting regulated
areas during certain annually recurring
events. The proposed special local
regulations and safety zones are
intended to expedite public notification
and ensure the protection of the
maritime public and event participants
from the hazards associated with certain
marine events. We invite your
comments on this proposed rulemaking.
DATES: Comments and related material
must be received by the Coast Guard on

§ Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background, Purpose, and Legal
Basis
Swim events, fireworks displays, and
marine events are held on an annual
recurring basis on the navigable waters
within the Coast Guard Sector Northern
New England Captain of the Port
(COTP) Zone. The Coast Guard has
established special local regulations and
safety zones for some of these annual
recurring events on a case by case basis
to ensure the protection of the maritime
public and event participants from
potential hazards. In the past, the Coast
Guard has not received public
comments or concerns regarding the
impact to waterway traffic from
regulations associated with these
annually recurring events. Events were
either added or deleted to the table of
annual events based on their likelihood
to recur in subsequent years. In
addition, minor changes to existing
events, such as position, date, or title,
were made to ensure the accuracy of
event details.
The purpose of this rulemaking is to
ensure accurate notification of relevant
events and protect the maritime public
during marine events in the Sector
Northern New England COTP Zone. The
Coast Guard proposes this rulemaking
under its authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034
and 46 U.S.C. 70041.
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
The proposed rule would update the
terminology and tables of annual
recurring events in the existing
regulations for the Coast Guard Sector
Northern New England COTP Zone. The
tables provide the event name, sponsor,
and type, as well as approximate times,
dates, and locations of the events.
The Coast Guard proposes to amend
33 CFR 100.120 ‘‘Special Local
Regulations; Marine Events Held in the
Coast Guard Sector Northern New
England Captain of the Port Zone’’ by
replacing language referencing ‘‘Patrol
Commander’’ to ‘‘Designated
Representative’’ and adding language
clarifying only event sponsors,
designated participants, and official

patrol vessels will be allowed to enter
regulated areas. Spectators and other
vessels not registered as event
participants may not enter the safety
zones without the permission of the
COTP or the Designated Representative.
Additionally, the Coast Guard proposes
to amend 33 CFR 100.120 ‘‘Special
Local Regulations; Marine Events Held
in the Coast Guard Sector Northern New
England Captain of the Port Zone’’ by
updating the details of two events,
deleting two events, and adding two
events to the TABLE 1 to § 100.120. This
rule proposes the following updates to
the TABLE 1 to § 100.120: (1) 8.1
Eggemoggin Reach Regatta regulated
area will be updated to reflect only the
event start location; (2) 8.7 Multiple
Sclerosis Harborfest Lobster Boat/
Tugboat Races location will be
corrected. The events deleted from the
TABLE 1 to § 100.120 will be: (1) 8.2
Southport Rowgatta Rowing and
Paddling Boat Race and (2) 7.5 Mayor’s
Cup Regatta. The two events added to
the table are the (1) 8.8 Eastport Pirates
Festival Invasion of Lubec Lobster Boat
Race and (2) 6.5 Portland’s Tallship
Parade of Ships Event.
The Coast Guard proposes to amend
33 CFR 165.171 ‘‘Safety Zones for
fireworks displays and swim events
held in Coast Guard Sector Northern
New England Captain of the Port Zone’’
by adding language clarifying only event
sponsors, designated participants, and
official patrol vessels will be allowed to
enter regulated areas. Spectators and
other vessels not registered as event
participants may not enter the safety
zones without the permission of the
COTP or the Designated Representative.
Additionally, the Coast Guard proposes
to amend 33 CFR 165.171 ‘‘Safety Zones
for fireworks displays and swim events
held in Coast Guard Sector Northern
New England Captain of the Port Zone’’
by updating the details of one event and
deleting 20 events from the TABLE 1 to
§ 165.171. This rule proposes the
following update to the TABLE 1 to
§ 165.171: Corrected location for 8.2
Islesboro Crossing Swim. Events
proposed for removal are obsolete
events which have not been held for the
past three years or which the sponsor’s
indicate they have no intention to
continue, and events that have been
determined to ‘‘not present an extra or
unusual hazard on the waterway.’’ The
events deleted from the TABLE 1 to
§ 165.171 will be: (1) 6.1 Waterfront
Days Fireworks; (2) 6.2 LaKermesse
Fireworks; (3) 7.1 Vinalhaven 4th of July

The regulatory text we are proposing
appears at the end of this document.
Advanced public notification of specific
times, dates, regulated areas, and
enforcement periods for each event will
be provided through appropriate means,
which may include, but are not limited
to, the Local Notice to Mariners,
Broadcast Notice to Mariners, or a
Notice of Enforcement published in the
Federal Register. If an event does not
have a date and time listed in this
regulation, then the precise dates and
times of the enforcement period for that
event will be announced through a
Local Notice to Mariners and a Notice
of Enforcement in the Federal Register.
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, duration,
and time-of-day of each regulated area.
We are adding two new special local
regulation, updating existing regulations
by removing obsolete events which have
not been held for the past three years or
which the sponsor’s indicate they have
PO 00000
Frm 00037
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
no intention to continue, and removing
events that have been determined to
‘‘not present an extra or unusual hazard
on the waterway.’’ Dates and
coordinates have been updated to more
accurately reflect the event. Moreover,
the Coast Guard will issue a Broadcast
Notice to Mariners via VHF–FM marine
channel 16 for any Safety Zone or
Special Local Regulation. Additionally,
the rule would allow vessels to seek
permission to enter the regulated areas.
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).

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 38 / Wednesday, February 26, 2020 / Proposed Rules
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 special local regulations
for various one day marine events and
safety zones for fireworks displays and
one day swimming events. Normally
VerDate Sep<11>2014

such actions are categorically excluded
from further review under paragraph
L61 of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS
Instruction Manual 023–01–001–01,
Rev. 01. A preliminary Record of
Environmental Consideration
supporting this determination is
available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES. We seek any
comments or information that may lead
to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this
proposed rule.
G. Protest Activities
The Coast Guard respects the First
Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the
person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to
coordinate protest activities so that your
message can be received without
jeopardizing the safety or security of
people, places, or vessels.

AGENCY:
ACTION:
The United States Department
of Agriculture (USDA), Forest Service is
revising regulations to implement
certain changes to the Small Tracts Act,
enacted in the Agriculture Improvement
Act of 2018, also known as the 2018
Farm Bill. These statutory changes
create a new category of lands eligible
for conveyance outside of the National
Forest System under the Small Tracts
Act for parcels of 40 acres or less that
are physically isolated, inaccessible, or
have lost National Forest System
character. The statutory changes also
create a new category of lands eligible
for conveyance involving parcels of ten
acres or less that are not eligible for
conveyance under previous eligibility
conditions and are encroached on by a
permanent habitable improvement for
which there is no evidence that the
encroachment was intentional or
negligent. These amendments to the
Small Tracts Act are expected to
provide the Forest Service with more
flexibility for resolving property
conflicts with private landowners,
reduce the time and expense arising
from a protracted boundary dispute, and
alleviate management burden and
expense to the Forest Service.
DATES: Comments must be received in
writing by April 27, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Public Law 97–465, commonly known
as the Small Tracts Act (16 U.S.C. 521c–
521i), was enacted in 1983 to help the
Forest Service resolve land disputes and
boundary mangement problems for
parcels that generally were small in
scale (less than ten acres) with land
values that did not exceed $150,000.
Eligible lands for sale, exchange, or
interchange included National Forest
System lands encumbered by an
encroachment like a shed, house, or
fence; roads or road rights-of-way in
excess of Forest Service transportation
needs; and ‘‘mineral survey fractions,’’
small parcels of National Forest System
lands interspersed with or adjacent to
lands transferred out of Federal
ownership under the mining laws.
Discussion of Amendments to the Small
Tracts Act
The Small Tracts Act was amended by
Section 8621 of the Agriculture
Improvement Act of 2018, also known
as the 2018 Farm Bill (Pub. L. 115–334).
The Agriculture Improvement Act of
2018 changes to the Small Tracts Act are
being implemented in two phases. The
first phase, implementing statutory
revisions that are self-executing, was
accomplished by revisions to 36 CFR
part 254 by final rule without notice and
comment on February 13, 2020 (85 FR
8180). The second phase, implementing
changes that may entail agency
discretion, would be accomplished by
PO 00000
Frm 00046
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
this proposed rule, for which notice and
comment are warranted.
The Agriculture Improvement Act of
2018 added two new paragraphs to the
Small Tracts Act Section 3 (16 U.S.C.
521e) to resolve by conveyance certain
encroachment, trespass, and boundary
management problems: Paragraph (4)
(16 U.S.C. 521e(4)), adding a limited
conveyance authority for parcels of 40
acres or less that are determined by the
Secretary to be physically isolated from
other Federal lands, to be inaccessible,
or to have lost National Forest character;
and paragraph (5) (16 U.S.C. 521e(5)),
addressing encroachments by
permanent habitable improvements on
parcels of 10 acres or less. This
proposed rule would implement
paragraph (4) by adding a new 36 CFR
254.37, and would implement
paragraph (5) by adding a new
paragraph (b) to 36 CFR 254.32.
Rulemaking is required for these
specific amendments because Section 6
of the Small Tracts Act (codified at 16
U.S.C. 521(h)) provides that ‘‘[t]he
Secretary shall issue regulations to carry
out the provisions of this Act, including
specification of . . . criteria which shall
be used in making the determination as
to what constitutes the public interest.’’
The public interest determination in
§ 254.36 will apply to the new
paragraph 254.32(b) and new § 254.37
created by this proposed rule.
Rulemaking, and particularly the
solicitation of public comments, is
further warranted because both
amendments introduce new options to
the Forest Service that rely on agency
discretion for resolving eligible
encroachments.
The final rule published on February
13, 2020 (85 FR 8180), added a new
paragraph (c) to 36 CFR 254.32. As
noted above, this proposed rule would
revise 36 CFR 254.32 to add a new
paragraph (b); it would accordingly
redesignate existing paragraph (b) as
paragraph (c), which would in turn
redesignate paragraph (c) added by the
final rule as paragraph (d). The final
rule also added 36 CFR 254.38. This
proposed rule would revise the citations
to other rule provisions in 36 CFR
254.38(a) from 36 CFR 254.32(c) to 36
CFR 254.32(d), consistent with the
revisions to § 254.32 that would be
made by this proposed rule, and would
revise 36 CFR 254.38(b) to add a
subparagraph (3).

Events and Fireworks Displays and Swim Events Held in the Coast Guard
Sector Northern New England Captain of the Port Zone
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is proposing to add, delete, and modify the
special local regulations for annual recurring marine events and safety
zones regulation for firework displays and swim events in Coast Guard
Sector Northern New England Captain of the Port Zone. When enforced,
these special local regulations and safety zones will restrict vessels
from transiting regulated areas during certain annually recurring
events. The proposed special local regulations and safety zones are
intended to expedite public notification and ensure the protection of
the maritime public and event participants from the hazards associated
with certain marine events. We invite your comments on this proposed
rulemaking.
DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before March 27, 2020.

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis
Swim events, fireworks displays, and marine events are held on an
annual recurring basis on the navigable waters within the Coast Guard
Sector Northern New England Captain of the Port (COTP) Zone. The Coast
Guard has established special local regulations and safety zones for
some of these annual recurring events on a case by case basis to ensure
the protection of the maritime public and event participants from
potential hazards. In the past, the Coast Guard has not received public
comments or concerns regarding the impact to waterway traffic from
regulations associated with these annually recurring events. Events
were either added or deleted to the table of annual events based on
their likelihood to recur in subsequent years. In addition, minor
changes to existing events, such as position, date, or title, were made
to ensure the accuracy of event details.
The purpose of this rulemaking is to ensure accurate notification
of relevant events and protect the maritime public during marine events
in the Sector Northern New England COTP Zone. The Coast Guard proposes
this rulemaking under its authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034 and 46 U.S.C.
70041.
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
The proposed rule would update the terminology and tables of annual
recurring events in the existing regulations for the Coast Guard Sector
Northern New England COTP Zone. The tables provide the event name,
sponsor, and type, as well as approximate times, dates, and locations
of the events.
The Coast Guard proposes to amend 33 CFR 100.120 ``Special Local
Regulations; Marine Events Held in the Coast Guard Sector Northern New
England Captain of the Port Zone'' by replacing language referencing
``Patrol Commander'' to ``Designated Representative'' and adding
language clarifying only event sponsors, designated participants, and
official
[[Page 11032]]
patrol vessels will be allowed to enter regulated areas. Spectators and
other vessels not registered as event participants may not enter the
safety zones without the permission of the COTP or the Designated
Representative. Additionally, the Coast Guard proposes to amend 33 CFR
100.120 ``Special Local Regulations; Marine Events Held in the Coast
Guard Sector Northern New England Captain of the Port Zone'' by
updating the details of two events, deleting two events, and adding two
events to the TABLE 1 to Sec. 100.120. This rule proposes the
following updates to the TABLE 1 to Sec. 100.120: (1) 8.1 Eggemoggin
Reach Regatta regulated area will be updated to reflect only the event
start location; (2) 8.7 Multiple Sclerosis Harborfest Lobster Boat/
Tugboat Races location will be corrected. The events deleted from the
TABLE 1 to Sec. 100.120 will be: (1) 8.2 Southport Rowgatta Rowing and
Paddling Boat Race and (2) 7.5 Mayor's Cup Regatta. The two events
added to the table are the (1) 8.8 Eastport Pirates Festival Invasion
of Lubec Lobster Boat Race and (2) 6.5 Portland's Tallship Parade of
Ships Event.
The Coast Guard proposes to amend 33 CFR 165.171 ``Safety Zones for
fireworks displays and swim events held in Coast Guard Sector Northern
New England Captain of the Port Zone'' by adding language clarifying
only event sponsors, designated participants, and official patrol
vessels will be allowed to enter regulated areas. Spectators and other
vessels not registered as event participants may not enter the safety
zones without the permission of the COTP or the Designated
Representative. Additionally, the Coast Guard proposes to amend 33 CFR
165.171 ``Safety Zones for fireworks displays and swim events held in
Coast Guard Sector Northern New England Captain of the Port Zone'' by
updating the details of one event and deleting 20 events from the TABLE
1 to Sec. 165.171. This rule proposes the following update to the
TABLE 1 to Sec. 165.171: Corrected location for 8.2 Islesboro Crossing
Swim. Events proposed for removal are obsolete events which have not
been held for the past three years or which the sponsor's indicate they
have no intention to continue, and events that have been determined to
``not present an extra or unusual hazard on the waterway.'' The events
deleted from the TABLE 1 to Sec. 165.171 will be: (1) 6.1 Waterfront
Days Fireworks; (2) 6.2 LaKermesse Fireworks; (3) 7.1 Vinalhaven 4th of
July Fireworks; (4) 7.3 The Great Race; (5) 7.4 Bangor 4th of July
Fireworks; (6) Eastport 4th of July Fireworks; (7) 7.8 Ellis Short Sand
Park Trustee Fireworks; (8) 7.9 Hampton Beach 4th of July Fireworks;
(9) 7.12 Main Street Heritage Days 4th of July Fireworks; (10) 7.14 St.
Albans Day Fireworks; (11) 7.17 Shelburne Triathlons; (12) 7.18 St.
George Days Fireworks; (13) 7.20 Richmond Days Fireworks; (14) 7.24
Bucksport Festival and Fireworks; (15) 7.26 Paul Coulombe Anniversary
Fireworks; (16) 8.1 Westerlund's Landing Party Fireworks; (17) 8.2 York
Beach Fire Department Fireworks; (18) 8.5 Paul Columbe Party Fireworks;
(19) 9.2 Eastport Pirate Festival Fireworks; (20) 9.4 Eliot Festival
Day Fireworks.
The regulatory text we are proposing appears at the end of this
document. Advanced public notification of specific times, dates,
regulated areas, and enforcement periods for each event will be
provided through appropriate means, which may include, but are not
limited to, the Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast Notice to Mariners,
or a Notice of Enforcement published in the Federal Register. If an
event does not have a date and time listed in this regulation, then the
precise dates and times of the enforcement period for that event will
be announced through a Local Notice to Mariners and a Notice of
Enforcement in the Federal Register.
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, duration, and time-of-day of each regulated area. We are
adding two new special local regulation, updating existing regulations
by removing obsolete events which have not been held for the past three
years or which the sponsor's indicate they have no intention to
continue, and removing events that have been determined to ``not
present an extra or unusual hazard on the waterway.'' Dates and
coordinates have been updated to more accurately reflect the event.
Moreover, the Coast Guard will issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners via
VHF-FM marine channel 16 for any Safety Zone or Special Local
Regulation. Additionally, the rule would allow vessels to seek
permission to enter the regulated areas.
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).
[[Page 11033]]
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 special
local regulations for various one day marine events and safety zones
for fireworks displays and one day swimming events. Normally such
