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.

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/

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

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.

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. It is categorically

001–01, Rev. 1. A Record of
Environmental Consideration
supporting this determination is
available in the docket. For instructions

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.

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:

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
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[deg]48'9'' N, 082[deg]24'56'' W and
27[deg]48'0'' N, 082[deg]24'56'' W. It is categorically excluded from
further review under paragraph L60(a) of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS
Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. 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. 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.
