Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 110 / Monday, June 8, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
Under the provisions of 33 CFR
100.928, vessels transiting within the
regulated area shall travel at a no-wake
speed and remain vigilant for event
participants and safety craft.
Additionally, vessels shall yield rightof-way for event participants and event
safety craft and shall follow directions
given by the Coast Guard’s on-scene
representative or by event
representatives during the event.
The ‘‘on-scene representative’’ of the
Captain of the Port Detroit is any Coast
Guard commissioned, warrant, or petty
officer who has been designated by the
Captain of the Port Detroit to act on his
behalf. The on-scene representative of
the Captain of the Port Detroit will be
aboard either a Coast Guard or Coast
Guard Auxiliary vessel. The Captain of
the Port Detroit or his designated on
scene representative may be contacted
via VHF Channel 16.
The rules in this section shall not
apply to vessels participating in the
event or to government vessels
patrolling the regulated area in the
performance of their assigned duties.
This document is issued under
authority of 33 CFR 100.35 and 5 U.S.C.
552 (a). If the Captain of the Port
determines that any of these special
local regulations need not be enforced
for the full duration stated in this
document, he may suspend such
enforcement and notify the public of the
suspension via a Broadcast Notice to
Mariners.
Dated: May 13, 2020.

ACTION:
The Coast Guard is amending
and updating its special local
regulations relating to recurring marine
parades, regattas, and other events that
take place in the Coast Guard Sector
Ohio Valley area of responsibility

(AOR). This rule informs the public of
regularly scheduled events that require
additional safety measures through the
establishing of a special local regulation.
Through this rulemaking the current list
of recurring special local regulations is
updated with revisions, additional
events, and removal of events that no
longer take place in Sector Ohio Valley’s
AOR. When these special local
regulations are enforced, certain
restrictions are placed on marine traffic
in specified areas.
DATES: This rule is effective June 8,
2020.

associated with these marine events.
I. Table of Abbreviations
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule
under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70041
(previously 33 U.S.C. 1233 The Coast
Guard is amending and updating the
special local regulations under 33 CFR
part 100 to include the most up to date
list of recurring special local regulations
for events held on or around navigable
waters within the Sector Ohio Valley
AOR. These events include marine
parades, boat races, swim events, and
others. The current list under 33 CFR
100.801 requires amending to provide
new information on existing special
local regulations, include new special
local regulations expected to recur
annually or biannually, and to remove
special local regulations that are no
longer required. Issuing individual
regulations for each new special local
regulation, amendment, or removal of
an existing special local regulation
creates unnecessary administrative costs
and burdens. This rulemaking reduces
administrative overhead and provides
the public with notice through
publication in the Federal Register of
the upcoming recurring special local
regulations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ADDRESSES:
The Captain of the Port Sector Ohio
Valley (COTP) is establishing,
amending, and updating its current list
of recurring special local regulations
codified under 33 CFR 100.801 in Table
1, for the COTP Ohio Valley zone.
On February 14, 2020, the Coast
Guard published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) titled Sector Ohio
Valley Annual and Recurring Special
Local Regulations Update (85 FR 8499).
There we stated why we issued the
NPRM, and invited comments on our
proposed regulatory action related to
those recurring regulated areas. During
the comment period that ended March
16, 2020, no comments were received.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for
making it effective less than 30 days
after publication in the Federal
Register. Delaying the effective date of
this rule would be impracticable and
contrary to the public interest because
immediate action is necessary to

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.
E:\FR\FM\08JNR1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 110 / Monday, June 8, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
The Coast Guard expects the
economic impact of this rule to be
minimal, and therefore a full regulatory
evaluation is unnecessary. This rule
establishes special local regulations
limiting access to certain areas under 33
CFR 100 within Sector Ohio Valley’s
AOR. The effect of this rulemaking will
not be significant because these special
local regulations are limited in scope
and duration. Deviation from the special
local regulations established through
this rulemaking may be requested from
the appropriate COTP and requests will
be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Broadcast Notices to Mariners and Local
Notices to Mariners will inform the
community of these special local
regulations so that they may plan
accordingly for these short restrictions
on transit. Vessel traffic may request
permission from the COTP Ohio Valley
or a designated representative to enter
the restricted areas.
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
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 regulated
area 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 related to marine event
permits for marine parades, regattas,
and other marine events. It is
categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph L(61) of
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction
Manual 023–01–001–01, Rev. 1.
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.

AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard is
establishing a temporary safety zone for
certain waters of the Stanislaus River.
This action is necessary to provide for
the safety of life on the Stanislaus River
near the Highway 99 Bridge in Ripon,
CA, during partial bridge replacement
scheduled to occur between June 15,
2020 and November 7, 2020. This
regulation prohibits persons and vessels
from being in the safety zone unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port
San Francisco or a designated
representative.
DATES: This rule is effective from 12:01
a.m. on June 15, 2020 through 11:59

SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:41 Jun 05, 2020
Regulated area
Jkt 250001
On October 18, 2019, the California
Department of Transportation notified
the Coast Guard that it will be
conducting partial bridge replacement
of the Highway 99 Bridge in Ripon, CA.
In response, on March 16, 2020, the
Coast Guard published an NPRM titled
‘‘Safety Zone; Highway 99 Partial Bridge
Replacement, Stanislaus River, Ripon,
CA’’ (85 FR 14840) proposing a safety
zone around the bridge replacement to
be effective from June 15, 2020 until
November 7, 2020. There we stated why
we issued the NPRM, and invited
comments on our proposed regulatory
action related to this partial bridge
replacement. During the comment
period that ended April 15, 2020, we
received two comments.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for
making this rule effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal
Register. Delaying the effective date of
this rule would be impracticable
because this rule is needed to protect
mariners, commercial and recreational
waterway users, and construction
workers from the potential safety
hazards associated with construction
and replacement of the Highway 99
Ripon Bridge. It is necessary for this
rule to be in effect when construction
commences on June 15, 2020.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule
under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034.
During this bridge construction project,
approximately 200 feet of the existing
concrete, double-arch bridge on
Southbound Highway 99 over the
Stanislaus River will be demolished,
removed, and replaced. Bridge
construction hazards include reduced
bridge clearance and the potential for
falling debris, such as steel beams and
PO 00000
Frm 00043
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
other construction materials from
demolition and crane operations. The
COTP has determined that potential
hazards associated with the Highway 99
Ripon Bridge replacement will be a
safety concern for anyone within the
navigable waters of the Stanislaus River
around or under the bridge construction
project. The purpose of this rule is to
ensure the safety of vessels and
mariners in the navigable waters
surrounding the Highway 99 Bridge in
Ripon, CA during construction.
IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes,
and the Rule
As noted above, we received two
comments on our NPRM published
March 16, 2020. One comment
identified the safety zone as a necessity
to protect mariners, commercial and
recreational waterway users, and
construction workers during the bridge
replacement, which will improve traffic
conditions for an average of 112,000
vehicle transits each day. Due to
hazards associated with the bridge
demolition and replacement, the COTP
is implementing this rule to protect
members of the public in the waters of
the Stanislaus River surrounding the
project.
The other comment challenged the
reason this rule is being enforced,
asserting the rule is not for the safety of
life on the navigable waters of the
Stanislaus River. The Coast Guard
disagrees with this comment. The Coast
Guard is enforcing this rule to protect
and ensure the safety of all vessels and
waterway users on the waters of the
Stanislaus River near Ripon, CA from to
the potential hazards associated with
the bridge construction project noted in
section III of this rule.
There are no changes in the regulatory
text of this rule from the proposed rule
in the NPRM. Between 12:01 a.m. on
June 15, 2020 through 11:59 p.m. on
November 7, 2020, the safety zone will
encompass all navigable waters of the
Stanislaus River surrounding the
Highway 99 Bridge in Ripon, CA, from
surface to bottom, between the Union
Pacific Railway Bridge to the west and
the Stanislaus River pedestrian crossing
bridge to the east of the Ripon Highway
99 Bridge, within the area formed by

Special Local Regulations; Sector Ohio Valley Annual and
Recurring Special Local Regulations Update
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is amending and updating its special local
regulations relating to recurring marine parades, regattas, and other
events that take place in the Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley area of
responsibility (AOR). This rule informs the public of regularly
scheduled events that require additional safety measures through the
establishing of a special local regulation. Through this rulemaking the
current list of recurring special local regulations is updated with
revisions, additional events, and removal of events that no longer take
place in Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. When these special local regulations
are enforced, certain restrictions are placed on marine traffic in
specified areas.
DATES: This rule is effective June 8, 2020.

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
COTP Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley
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
The Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley (COTP) is establishing,
amending, and updating its current list of recurring special local
regulations codified under 33 CFR 100.801 in Table 1, for the COTP Ohio
Valley zone.
On February 14, 2020, the Coast Guard published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) titled Sector Ohio Valley Annual and
Recurring Special Local Regulations Update (85 FR 8499). There we
stated why we issued the NPRM, and invited comments on our proposed
regulatory action related to those recurring regulated areas. During
the comment period that ended March 16, 2020, no comments were
received.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making it effective less than 30 days after publication in
the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date of this rule would be
impracticable and contrary to the public interest because immediate
action is necessary to respond to the potential safety hazards
associated with these marine events.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70041 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1233 The Coast Guard is amending and
updating the special local regulations under 33 CFR part 100 to include
the most up to date list of recurring special local regulations for
events held on or around navigable waters within the Sector Ohio Valley
AOR. These events include marine parades, boat races, swim events, and
others. The current list under 33 CFR 100.801 requires amending to
provide new information on existing special local regulations, include
new special local regulations expected to recur annually or biannually,
and to remove special local regulations that are no longer required.
Issuing individual regulations for each new special local regulation,
amendment, or removal of an existing special local regulation creates
unnecessary administrative costs and burdens. This rulemaking reduces
administrative overhead and provides the public with notice through
publication in the Federal Register of the upcoming recurring special
local regulations.
IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule
As noted above, we received no comments on our NPRM published
February 14, 2020. There are no changes in the regulatory text of this
rule from the proposed rule in the NPRM.
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.
[[Page 34635]]
The Coast Guard expects the economic impact of this rule to be
minimal, and therefore a full regulatory evaluation is unnecessary.
This rule establishes special local regulations limiting access to
certain areas under 33 CFR 100 within Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. The
effect of this rulemaking will not be significant because these special
local regulations are limited in scope and duration. Deviation from the
special local regulations established through this rulemaking may be
requested from the appropriate COTP and requests will be considered on
a case-by-case basis. Broadcast Notices to Mariners and Local Notices
to Mariners will inform the community of these special local
regulations so that they may plan accordingly for these short
restrictions on transit. Vessel traffic may request permission from the
COTP Ohio Valley or a designated representative to enter the restricted
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 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
regulated area 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 related to marine event
permits for marine parades, regattas, and other marine events. It is
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L(61) of
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1.
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.
