We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking. DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast Guard on or before May 21, 2020. ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG– 2020–0082 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. 33 CFR 100 and 165 Coast Guard, DHS. Notice of proposed rulemaking. AGENCY: ACTION: The Coast Guard is proposing to modify special local regulations and annual recurring marine events and safety zones regulations for firework displays and swim events in Coast Guard Sector Long Island Sound 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 SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 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 Long Island Sound COTP Zone. The Coast Guard has established special local regulations and safety zones for some of these annually recurring events on a E:\FR\FM\21APP1.SGM 21APP1 22050 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 77 / Tuesday, April 21, 2020 / Proposed Rules case by case basis to ensure the protection of the maritime public and event participants from potential hazards. The COTP Sector Long Island Sound proposes to amend 33 CFR 100.100 Special Local Regulations; Regattas and Boat Races in the Coast Guard Sector Long Island Sound Captain of the Port Zone, Table to § 100.100 and 33 CFR 165.151 Safety Zones; Fireworks Displays, Air Shows, and Swim Events in the Captain of the Port Long Island Sound Zone, Table 1 to § 165.151. The marine events listed therein include air shows, fireworks displays, and other marine related events requiring a limited access area restricting vessel traffic for safety purposes. The proposed amendments to the tables will more accurately reflect the dates of marine events based on historical occurences. Issuing individual regulations for each new safety zone, amendment, or removal of an existing safety zone due to minor date fluctuations 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. Event sponsors desiring to hold an event not listed in the table for the Sector Long Island Sound area of responsibility may seek permission for a regulated area for their event through a request to the phone number or email listed in the above FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. The purpose of this rulemaking is to ensure the safety of vessels and the navigable waters before, during, and after a scheduled event. The Coast Guard is proposing this rulemaking under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). 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. III. Discussion of Proposed Rule Parts 100 and 165 of 33 CFR contain regulations establishing special local regulations and safety zones to restrict vessel traffic for the safety of persons and property. Section 100.100 establishes Special Local Regulations to ensure the safety and security of marine related events, participants, and spectators in the Sector Long Island Sound AOR. From time to time, these sections require amendment to properly advertise the recurring safety zones in the Sector Long Island Sound AOR. The Coast Guard proposes to revise regulations in 33 CFR 100.100 Special Local Regulations; Regattas and Boat Races in the Coast Guard Sector Long Island Sound Captain of the Port Zone, Table to § 100.100 as indicated below. The amendments would involve changes to the cited dates of seven events listed in the table.

The effect of this proposed rule would be to restrict general navigation in the safety zones during these events. Vessels intending to transit the designated waterway through the safety zones 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 events. The proposed annually recurring safety zones are necessary to provide for the safety of life on navigable waters of the U.S. during the events. lotter on DSKBCFDHB2PROD with PROPOSALS IV. Regulatory Analyses We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes and Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders, and we discuss First Amendment rights of protestors. A. Regulatory Planning and Review Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This NPRM has not been designated a ‘‘significant regulatory action,’’ under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, the NPRM has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt from the requirements of Executive Order 13771. This regulatory action determination is based on the size, location, and duration of the safety zones. These safety zones are limited in size and duration, and are usually positioned away from high vessel traffic areas. Moreover, the Coast Guard would issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners via VHF–FM marine channel 16 about the zones and the rule would allow vessels to seek permission to enter the zones. Vessel traffic would also be able to 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 VerDate Sep<11>2014 21:17 Apr 20, 2020 Jkt 250001 22055 Location: Waters of the Pequannock River’s Lower Reach surrounding Steel Point, Bridgeport, CT in approximate position 41°10′35″ N, 073°10′58″ W (NAD 83). 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 these safety zones 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 call or email the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that question or complain about this proposed rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard. C. Collection of Information This proposed rule would not call for a new collection of information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520). D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132 (Federalism), if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between the National Government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 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. This proposed rule involves amending the dates of events that are already listed in 33 CFR 100.100 and 33 CFR 165.151 and removing listed events from 33 CFR 165.151. Normally such actions are categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L60b and L61 of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023–01–001–01, Rev. 1. We seek any comments or E:\FR\FM\21APP1.SGM 21APP1 22056 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 77 / Tuesday, April 21, 2020 / Proposed Rules 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.

[Docket Number USCG-2020-0082]
RIN 1625-AA08; AA00

Events and Fireworks Displays and Swim Events Held in the Coast Guard 
Sector Long Island Sound Zone

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is proposing to modify special local 
regulations and annual recurring marine events and safety zones 
regulations for firework displays and swim events in Coast Guard Sector 
Long Island Sound 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 amendments to the 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 May 21, 2020.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2020-0082 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at https://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for 
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further 
instructions on submitting comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about this 
proposed rulemaking, call or email Marine Science Technician 2nd Class

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 Long Island Sound COTP Zone. The Coast Guard has established 
special local regulations and safety zones for some of these annually 
recurring events on a

[[Page 22050]]

case by case basis to ensure the protection of the maritime public and 
event participants from potential hazards.
    The COTP Sector Long Island Sound proposes to amend 33 CFR 100.100 
Special Local Regulations; Regattas and Boat Races in the Coast Guard 
Sector Long Island Sound Captain of the Port Zone, Table to Sec.  
100.100 and 33 CFR 165.151 Safety Zones; Fireworks Displays, Air Shows, 
and Swim Events in the Captain of the Port Long Island Sound Zone, 
Table 1 to Sec.  165.151.
    The marine events listed therein include air shows, fireworks 
displays, and other marine related events requiring a limited access 
area restricting vessel traffic for safety purposes. The proposed 
amendments to the tables will more accurately reflect the dates of 
marine events based on historical occurences.
    Issuing individual regulations for each new safety zone, amendment, 
or removal of an existing safety zone due to minor date fluctuations 
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. Event 
sponsors desiring to hold an event not listed in the table for the 
Sector Long Island Sound area of responsibility may seek permission for 
a regulated area for their event through a request to the phone number 
or email listed in the above FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.
    The purpose of this rulemaking is to ensure the safety of vessels 
and the navigable waters before, during, and after a scheduled event. 
The Coast Guard is proposing this rulemaking under authority in 46 
U.S.C. 70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231).
    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.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    Parts 100 and 165 of 33 CFR contain regulations establishing 
special local regulations and safety zones to restrict vessel traffic 
for the safety of persons and property. Section 100.100 establishes 
Special Local Regulations to ensure the safety and security of marine 
related events, participants, and spectators in the Sector Long Island 
Sound AOR. From time to time, these sections require amendment to 
properly advertise the recurring safety zones in the Sector Long Island 
Sound AOR.
    The Coast Guard proposes to revise regulations in 33 CFR 100.100 
Special Local Regulations; Regattas and Boat Races in the Coast Guard 
Sector Long Island Sound Captain of the Port Zone, Table to Sec.  
100.100 as indicated below. The amendments would involve changes to the 
cited dates of seven events listed in the table. The amendments are as 
follows:

9.7 Bridgeport Bluefish September        Location: Waters of the
 Fireworks.                               Pequannock River's Lower Reach
                                          surrounding Steel Point,
                                          Bridgeport, CT in approximate
                                          position 41[deg]10'35'' N,
                                          073[deg]10'58'' W (NAD 83).
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The effect of this proposed rule would be to restrict general 
navigation in the safety zones during these events. Vessels intending 
to transit the designated waterway through the safety zones 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 events. The 
proposed annually recurring safety zones are necessary to provide for 
the safety of life on navigable waters of the U.S. 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.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size, 
location, and duration of the safety zones. These safety zones are 
limited in size and duration, and are usually positioned away from high 
vessel traffic areas. Moreover, the Coast Guard would issue a Broadcast 
Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16 about the zones and the 
rule would allow vessels to seek permission to enter the zones. Vessel 
traffic would also be able to 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 
these safety zones 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 call or email the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION 
CONTACT section. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small 
entities that question or complain about this proposed rule or any 
policy or action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would not call for a new collection of 
information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132 
(Federalism), if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on 
the relationship between the National Government and the States, or on 
the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels 
of government. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and 
have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism 
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order 
13132.
    Also, this proposed rule does not have tribal implications under 
Executive Order 13175 (Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal 
Governments) because it would not have a substantial direct effect on 
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal 
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and 
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. If 
you believe this proposed rule has implications for federalism or 
Indian tribes, please 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. This proposed rule involves amending 
the dates of events that are already listed in 33 CFR 100.100 and 33 
CFR 165.151 and removing listed events from 33 CFR 165.151. Normally 
such actions are categorically excluded from further review under 
paragraph L60b and L61 of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 
023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. We seek any comments or

[[Page 22056]]

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
