Special Local Regulations; Recurring
Marine Events, Sector St. Petersburg
Coast Guard, DHS.
Final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard is revising
existing regulations and consolidate into
one table special local regulations for
recurring marine events at various
locations within the geographic
boundaries of the Seventh Coast Guard
District Captain of the Port (COTP) St.
Petersburg Zone. Consolidating marine
events into one table simplifies Coast
Guard oversight and public notification
of special local regulations within COTP
St. Petersburg Zone.
DATES: This rule is effective May 27,
2020.

Regulatory History
Recurring marine events within the
Seventh Coast Guard District are

Jkt 250001
currently listed in 33 CFR 100.701,
Table to 1 to § 100.701. The process for
amending the table (e.g. adding or
removing marine events) is lengthy and
inefficient since it includes recurring
marine events for seven different COTP
zones within the Seventh District. To
expedite and simplify the rule-making
process for new marine events/special
local regulations, COTP’s resorted to
creating individual rules rather than
amending the Table 1 to § 100.701.
This rule serves two purposes: (1)
Create a table of recurring marine
events/special local regulations
occurring solely within the COTP St.
Petersburg Zone, and (2) consolidate
into that table marine events/special
local regulations previously established
outside of Table 1 to § 100.701. The
proposed new table would facilitate
management of and public access to
information about marine events within
the COTP St. Petersburg Zone.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule
under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034
(previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The COTP
St. Petersburg has determined that
potential hazards associated with the
events listed in this rule will be a safety
concern for anyone in the area the
events are being held. The purpose of
this rule is to ensure safety of vessels
and the navigable waters in the event
areas before, during, and after the
scheduled event.
IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes,
and the Rule
As noted above, we received no
comments on our NPRM published
January 14, 2020. Other than inserting a
‘‘1’’ in the table headings in § 100.701
and § 100.703, and renumbering eventdate designators in Table 1 to § 100.702,
there are no changes in the regulatory
text of this rule from the proposed rule
in the NPRM.
There are no changes in the regulatory
text of this rule from the proposed rule

new Table to the new § 100.703, Table
1 to § 100.703 are scheduled to occur
over a particular time during each
month each year. Exact dates are
intentionally omitted since calendar
dates for a specific events change from
year to year. Once dates for a marine
event are known, the Coast Guard will
notify the public of its intent to enforce
the special local regulation through
various means including a Notice of
Enforcement published in the Federal
Register, Local Notice to Mariners, and
Broadcast Notice to Mariners.

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 81 / Monday, April 27, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
V. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this 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.
lotter on DSKBCFDHB2PROD with RULES
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 rule has not
been designated a ‘‘significant
regulatory action,’’ under Executive
Order 12866. Accordingly, this rule has
not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and
pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive
Order 13771.
This regulatory action determination
is based on the size, location, and
duration of the special local regulations.
These areas are limited in size and
duration, and usually do not affect high
vessel traffic areas. Moreover, the Coast
Guard would provide advance notice of
the regulated areas to the local maritime
community via Notice of Enforcement
published in the Federal Register, by
Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast to
Mariners via VHF–FM marine channel
16, and the rule would allow vessels to
seek permission to enter the regulated
area.
B. Impact on Small Entities
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of
1980, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, as amended,
requires Federal agencies to consider
the potential impact of regulations on
small entities during rulemaking. The
term ‘‘small entities’’ comprises small
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 received no comments
from the Small Business Administration
on this rulemaking. 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.
While some owners or operators of
vessels intending to transit the event
areas may be small entities, for the
reasons stated in section V.A above, this
rule will not have a significant
economic impact on any vessel owner
or operator.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:16 Apr 24, 2020
Jkt 250001
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 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.
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). 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.
C. Collection of Information
This 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 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 rule does not have tribal
implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does 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.
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
PO 00000
Frm 00017
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
23221
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 rule
will not result in such an expenditure,
we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.
F. Environment
We have analyzed this 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
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. This rule involves the
establishment of special local
regulations for recurring marine events
within the COTP St. Petersburg Zone. It
is categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph L61 of
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction
Manual 023–01–001–01, Rev. 1. A
Memorandum for Record supporting
this determination is available in the
docket. For instructions on locating the
docket, see the ADDRESSES section of
this preamble.
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Commission’s service contract
regulations in 46 CFR part 530 provide
that exemptions from the requirements
of that part are governed by 46 U.S.C.
40103 and the exemption procedures in
46 CFR part 502. See 46 CFR 530.13(b).1
Section 40103 provides that the
Commission may grant an exemption
from statutory requirements if the
Commission finds that the exemption
will not result in substantial reduction
in competition or be detrimental to
commerce, and the Commission may
attach conditions to an exemption.
Section 40103(a). Section 40103 also
requires that a statutory exemption may
be issued only if the Commission has
provided an opportunity for a hearing to

interested persons and departments and
agencies of the United States
Government. The Commission’s
exemption procedures in 46 CFR part
502 include a similar hearing
requirement and provide that the
Commission will publish notice of the
proposed statutory exemption in the
Federal Register and will solicit
comments. 46 CFR 502.92. Thus,
although the Shipping Act only requires
notice and opportunity for a hearing for
exemptions from the statutory
requirements in the Act, the
Commission requires notice and
opportunity for a hearing for
exemptions from regulatory
requirements by incorporating section
40103 and the part 502 exemption
procedures in 46 CFR 530.13(b).
The current COVID–19 pandemic and
its effect on the international supply
chain and commercial operations has
demonstrated a need for Commission
flexibility to provide immediate
regulatory relief in appropriate
circumstances. This is particularly true
in the case of service contracts given the
challenges that the current situation
presents to contract negotiation,
formation, and filing by the carriers and
their customers. To that end, the

Special Local Regulations; Recurring Marine Events, Sector St.
Petersburg
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is revising existing regulations and
consolidate into one table special local regulations for recurring
marine events at various locations within the geographic boundaries of
the Seventh Coast Guard District Captain of the Port (COTP) St.
Petersburg Zone. Consolidating marine events into one table simplifies
Coast Guard oversight and public notification of special local
regulations within COTP St. Petersburg Zone.
DATES: This rule is effective May 27, 2020.

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec. Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background Information and Regulatory History
Recurring marine events within the Seventh Coast Guard District are
currently listed in 33 CFR 100.701, Table to 1 to Sec. 100.701. The
process for amending the table (e.g. adding or removing marine events)
is lengthy and inefficient since it includes recurring marine events
for seven different COTP zones within the Seventh District. To expedite
and simplify the rule-making process for new marine events/special
local regulations, COTP's resorted to creating individual rules rather
than amending the Table 1 to Sec. 100.701.
This rule serves two purposes: (1) Create a table of recurring
marine events/special local regulations occurring solely within the
COTP St. Petersburg Zone, and (2) consolidate into that table marine
events/special local regulations previously established outside of
Table 1 to Sec. 100.701. The proposed new table would facilitate
management of and public access to information about marine events
within the COTP St. Petersburg Zone.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The COTP St. Petersburg has
determined that potential hazards associated with the events listed in
this rule will be a safety concern for anyone in the area the events
are being held. The purpose of this rule is to ensure safety of vessels
and the navigable waters in the event areas before, during, and after
the scheduled event.
IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule
As noted above, we received no comments on our NPRM published
January 14, 2020. Other than inserting a ``1'' in the table headings in
Sec. 100.701 and Sec. 100.703, and renumbering event-date designators
in Table 1 to Sec. 100.702, there are no changes in the regulatory
text of this rule from the proposed rule in the NPRM.
There are no changes in the regulatory text of this rule from the
proposed rule in the NPRM.
This rule makes the following changes:
1. Establish 33 CFR 100.703 Special Local Regulations; Marine
Events Within the Captain of the Port St. Petersburg Zone;
2. Remove the existing marine events/special local regulations
listed in Table 1 to Sec. 100.701(c) under COTP Zone St.
Petersburg; Special Local Regulations to proposed new Sec. 100.703,
Table 1 to Sec. 100.703;

100.703, and delete existing Sec. 100.722;
8. Delete the existing special local regulation in Sec. 100.728

for the event, ``Annual Gasparilla Marine Parade; Hillsborough bay,
Tampa, FL'' to proposed new Sec. 100.703, Table 1 to Sec. 100.703,
and delete existing Sec. 100.734;
10. Move the existing special local regulation in Sec. 100.735

16. Add new event, ``Roar Offshore, Fort Myers Beach, FL'' to
proposed new Sec. 100.703, Table 1 to Sec. 100.703, Line 8.
The marine events as listed in the new Table to the new Sec.
100.703, Table 1 to Sec. 100.703 are scheduled to occur over a
particular time during each month each year. Exact dates are
intentionally omitted since calendar dates for a specific events change
from year to year. Once dates for a marine event are known, the Coast
Guard will notify the public of its intent to enforce the special local
regulation through various means including a Notice of Enforcement
published in the Federal Register, Local Notice to Mariners, and
Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
[[Page 23221]]
V. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this 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 rule has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, this rule has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, and duration of the special local regulations. These areas
are limited in size and duration, and usually do not affect high vessel
traffic areas. Moreover, the Coast Guard would provide advance notice
of the regulated areas to the local maritime community via Notice of
Enforcement published in the Federal Register, by Local Notice to
Mariners, Broadcast to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16, and the
rule would allow vessels to seek permission to enter the regulated
area.
B. Impact on Small Entities
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small 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 received no comments from the Small Business
Administration on this rulemaking. 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.
While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
event areas may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator.
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 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.
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). 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.
C. Collection of Information
This 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 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 rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does 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.
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 rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.
F. Environment
We have analyzed this 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 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. This rule involves the
establishment of special local regulations for recurring marine events
within the COTP St. Petersburg Zone. It is categorically excluded from
further review under paragraph L61 of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS
Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. A Memorandum for Record
supporting this determination is available in the docket. For
instructions on locating the docket, see the ADDRESSES section of this
preamble.
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.
