ACTION: Temporary final rule. AGENCY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone on certain waters of Garrison Channel, Seddon Channel Turning Basin, and the Hillsborough River, in the vicinity of downtown Tampa, Florida during the Super Bowl LV celebrations. The safety zone is necessary to protect the public and Super Bowl LV event personnel from the hazards associated with potential vessel traffic within the area of the safety zone. All persons and vessels would be required to transit through the safety zone at a steady speed and may not slow down, stop or anchor except in the case of unforeseen mechanical failure or other emergency unless given prior authorization from the Captain of the Port. Any person or vessel forced to slow or stop in the established zone must immediately notify the Captain of the Port Tampa via VHF channel 16. DATES: This rule is effective daily from 12:01 a.m. on January 29, 2021, through 11:59 p.m. on February 7, 2021.

SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:10 Jan 29, 2021 Jkt 253001 If you have questions on this rule, call or email Marine Science Technician First Class Michael D. Shackleford, Sector St. Petersburg Prevention Department, Coast Guard; telephone (813) 228–2191, email Michael.D.Shackleford@uscg.mil. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: I. Table of Abbreviations CFR Code of Federal Regulations DHS Department of Homeland Security FR Federal Register NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking § Section U.S.C. United States Code II. Background Information and Regulatory History The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule without prior notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those procedures are ‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for bypassing the full notice and comment process because it is impracticable and contrary to the public interest to do so in this situation. On September 22, 2020, the Maritime Subcommittee for Super Bowl LV notified the Coast Guard that during the Super Bowl LV event celebrations there will be several planned super bowlrelated events throughout the waterfront areas of Tampa, FL. These events will occur at various times from January 29, 2021 through February 7, 2021. These events could lead to large gatherings of persons and vessels in waterways around the Tampa area. The Captain of the Port St. Petersburg (COTP) has determined that the potential hazards associated with persons and vessel congestion within the safety zone during these events is a safety concern. A notice of proposed rulemaking was published to the Federal Register on January 4, 2021, however, there remains insufficient time to complete the full rulemaking process.1 It is necessary for the Coast Guard to establish this safety zone by January 29, 2021, in order to ensure the appropriate level of protection exists in order to mitigate the potential safety hazards associated with the Super Bowl LV event celebrations. 1 See Coast Guard notice of proposed rulemaking, ‘‘Safety Zone; Super Bowl LV; Hillsborough Bay and River, Tampa, FL’’ (86 FR 32) (this document is available at: https://beta.regulations.gov/ document/USCG-2020-0691-0001). PO 00000 Frm 00017 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 7651 Therefore, this temporary final rule is being published before the comment period ends on the notice of proposed rulemaking. 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 for the same reasons stated in the preceding paragraph. III. Discussion of the Rule This rule establishes a safety zone from January 29, 2021, through February 7, 2021. The safety zone would cover certain navigable waters of Garrison Channel, Seddon Channel Turning Basin, and the Hillsborough River, in the vicinity of downtown Tampa, Florida. The duration of the zone is intended to ensure the safety of persons, vessels, and navigable waters before, during, and after the scheduled events. All persons and vessels would be required to transit through the safety zone at a steady speed and may not slow down, stop or anchor except in the case of unforeseen mechanical failure or other emergency unless given prior authorization from the COTP. Any person or vessel forced to slow or stop in the established zone must immediately notify the Captain of the Port Tampa via VHF channel 16. IV. 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, scope and duration of the safety zone. The rule will impact only a small designated area of Garrison Channel, Seddon Channel Turning Basin, and the Hillsborough E:\FR\FM\01FER1.SGM 01FER1 7652 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 19 / Monday, February 1, 2021 / Rules and Regulations River in the vicinity of downtown Tampa, Florida, and vessel traffic will be able to safely operate in the area with minimal restrictions, hence the safety zone is limited in size and location. Vessels will be able to transit through the safety zone at a steady speed, making it limited in scope. The safety zone will be in effect for ten days, making it limited in duration. The Coast Guard will issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners via VHF–FM Channel 16 about the safety zone. 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 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 safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section IV.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. VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:10 Jan 29, 2021 Jkt 253001 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 a safety zone lasting approximately 4 days that will prohibit entry to all navigable waters of Tampa Bay, Florida east of a line formed by connecting the points of 27°48′9″ N, 082°24′56″ W and 27°48′0″ N, 082°24′56″ W.

A Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this determination is available in the docket. For instructions on locating the docket, see the ADDRESSES section of this preamble. G.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00019 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 7653 I. Background On November 2, 2015, the President signed into law the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 (Sec. 701 of Pub. L. 114–74) (‘‘the Act’’). The Act requires Federal agencies to adjust the level of civil monetary penalties annually for inflation no later than January 15 of each year. II. Calculation of Annual Adjustments The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) recently issued guidance to assist Federal agencies in implementing the annual adjustments required by the Act which agencies must complete by January 15, 2021. See December 23, 2020, Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies, from Russel T. Vought, Director, Office of Management and Budget, re: Implementation of Penalty Inflation Adjustments for 2021, Pursuant to the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 (M–21–10). The guidance states that the cost-of-living adjustment multiplier for 2021, based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI–U) for the month of October 2020, not seasonally adjusted, is 1.01182. (The annual inflation adjustments are based on the percent change between the October CPI–U preceding the date of the adjustment, and the prior year’s October CPI–U.) The guidance instructs agencies to complete the 2021 annual adjustment by multiplying each applicable penalty by the multiplier, 1.01182, and rounding to the nearest dollar. The annual adjustment applies to all civil monetary penalties with a dollar amount that are subject to the Act. A civil monetary penalty is any assessment with a dollar amount that is levied for a violation of a Federal civil statute or regulation, and is assessed or enforceable through a civil action in Federal court or an administrative proceeding. A civil monetary penalty does not include a penalty levied for violation of a criminal statute, or fees for services, licenses, permits, or other regulatory review. This final rule adjusts the following civil monetary penalties contained in the Department regulations implementing the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) for 2021 by multiplying 1.01182 by each penalty amount as updated by the adjustment made in 2020: E:\FR\FM\01FER1.SGM 01FER1

during the Super Bowl LV celebrations. The safety zone is necessary to 
protect the public and Super Bowl LV event personnel from the hazards 
associated with potential vessel traffic within the area of the safety 
zone. All persons and vessels would be required to transit through the 
safety zone at a steady speed and may not slow down, stop or anchor 
except in the case of unforeseen mechanical failure or other emergency 
unless given prior authorization from the Captain of the Port. Any 
person or vessel forced to slow or stop in the established zone must 
immediately notify the Captain of the Port Tampa via VHF channel 16.

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule without prior notice 
and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4(a) of 
the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This 
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and 
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those 
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public 
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good 
cause exists for bypassing the full notice and comment process because 
it is impracticable and contrary to the public interest to do so in 
this situation. On September 22, 2020, the Maritime Subcommittee for 
Super Bowl LV notified the Coast Guard that during the Super Bowl LV 
event celebrations there will be several planned super bowl-related 
events throughout the waterfront areas of Tampa, FL. These events will 
occur at various times from January 29, 2021 through February 7, 2021. 
These events could lead to large gatherings of persons and vessels in 
waterways around the Tampa area. The Captain of the Port St. Petersburg 
(COTP) has determined that the potential hazards associated with 
persons and vessel congestion within the safety zone during these 
events is a safety concern. A notice of proposed rulemaking was 
published to the Federal Register on January 4, 2021, however, there 
remains insufficient time to complete the full rulemaking process.\1\ 
It is necessary for the Coast Guard to establish this safety zone by 
January 29, 2021, in order to ensure the appropriate level of 
protection exists in order to mitigate the potential safety hazards 
associated with the Super Bowl LV event celebrations. Therefore, this 
temporary final rule is being published before the comment period ends 
on the notice of proposed rulemaking.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Coast Guard notice of proposed rulemaking, ``Safety 
Zone; Super Bowl LV; Hillsborough Bay and River, Tampa, FL'' (86 FR 
32) (this document is available at: https://beta.regulations.gov/document/USCG-2020-0691-0001).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 for the same reasons stated in the preceding paragraph.

III. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a safety zone from January 29, 2021, through 
February 7, 2021. The safety zone would cover certain navigable waters 
of Garrison Channel, Seddon Channel Turning Basin, and the Hillsborough 
River, in the vicinity of downtown Tampa, Florida. The duration of the 
zone is intended to ensure the safety of persons, vessels, and 
navigable waters before, during, and after the scheduled events. All 
persons and vessels would be required to transit through the safety 
zone at a steady speed and may not slow down, stop or anchor except in 
the case of unforeseen mechanical failure or other emergency unless 
given prior authorization from the COTP. Any person or vessel forced to 
slow or stop in the established zone must immediately notify the 
Captain of the Port Tampa via VHF channel 16.

IV. 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, scope and duration of the safety zone. The rule will impact 
only a small designated area of Garrison Channel, Seddon Channel 
Turning Basin, and the Hillsborough

[[Page 7652]]

River in the vicinity of downtown Tampa, Florida, and vessel traffic 
will be able to safely operate in the area with minimal restrictions, 
hence the safety zone is limited in size and location. Vessels will be 
able to transit through the safety zone at a steady speed, making it 
limited in scope. The safety zone will be in effect for ten days, 
making it limited in duration. The Coast Guard will issue a Broadcast 
Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM Channel 16 about the safety zone.

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 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 
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section 
IV.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
