Safety Zones Update
Coast Guard, DHS.
Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Coast Guard is amending
and updating its safety zone regulations
for annual events that take place in the
Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley area of
responsibility (AOR). This action is
necessary to update the current list of
recurring safety zones with revisions,
additional events, and removal of events
that no longer take place in the Sector
Ohio Valley. When these safety zones
are enforced, certain restrictions are
placed on marine traffic in specified
areas.

II. Background Information and
Regulatory History
The Captain of Port Sector Ohio
Valley (COTP) is amending 33 CFR
165.801 to update the table of annual
fireworks displays and other events in
Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley Area of
Responsibility (AOR). These events
include air shows, fireworks displays,
and other events requiring a safety zone.
On December 6, 2021, the Coast
Guard published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) titled, Safety Zones;
PO 00000
Frm 00015
Fmt 4700
Regulated area
Sfmt 4700
Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley Annual
and Recurring Safety Zones Update (86
FR 68948). There we stated why we
issued the NPRM, and invited
comments on our proposed regulatory
action related to those recurring safety
zones. During the comment period that
ended on January 5, 2022, no comments
were received.
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 Coast
Guard is amending and updating the
safety zones under 33 CFR part 165 to
include the most up to date list of
recurring safety zones for events held on
or around navigable waters within the
Sector Ohio Valley AOR. These events
include fireworks displays, air shows,
and festivals. The current list in 33 CFR
165.801 requires amending to provide
new information on existing safety
zones and to include new safety zones
expected to recur annually or
biannually. Issuing individual
regulations for each new safety zone,
amendment of existing safety zones
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 safety zones.
Based on the nature of these events,
large numbers of participants and
spectators, and event locations, the
COTP has determined that the events
listed in this rule could pose a risk to
participants or waterways users if the
E:\FR\FM\03FER1.SGM
03FER1
6032
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 23 / Thursday, February 3, 2022 / Rules and Regulations
normal vessel traffic were to interfere
with the events. Possible hazards
include risks of injury or death from
near or actual contact among participant
vessels and spectators or mariners
traversing through the regulated area.
This purpose of this rule is to ensure the
safety of all waterway users, including
event participants and spectators,
during the scheduled events.
IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes,
and the Rule
As noted above, we received no
comments on our NPRM published
December 6, 2021. There is one change
in the regulatory text of this rule from
the proposed rule in the NPRM. The
event Thunder Over Louisville will
occur the 4th weekend of April this
year. The text now reads in the table: 2
days—Third or fourth Friday and
Saturday in April. The change is within
the scope of the originally proposed
event.
This rule amends and updates part
165 of 33 CFR by revising the current
table for Sector Ohio Valley, and by
adding two new recurring safety zones,
removing four safety zones, and
amending 1 safety zone as described in
the NPRM. Vessels intending to transit
the designated waterway through the
safety zone will only be allowed to
transit the area when the COTP, or
designated representative, has deemed it
safe to do so or at the completion of the
event.
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
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.
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).
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 Notices to Mariners, Local
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:34 Feb 02, 2022
Jkt 256001
Notices to Mariners, and Marine Safety
Information Broadcasts to inform the
community of these safety zones.
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 safety
zone 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. It is categorically
excluded from further review under
paragraph L60 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.

[Docket Number USCG-2021-0874]
RIN 1625-AA00
Safety Zones; Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley Annual and Recurring
Safety Zones Update
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is amending and updating its safety zone
regulations for annual events that take place in the Coast Guard Sector
Ohio Valley area of responsibility (AOR). This action is necessary to
update the current list of recurring safety zones with revisions,
additional events, and removal of events that no longer take place in
the Sector Ohio Valley. When these safety zones are enforced, certain
restrictions are placed on marine traffic in specified areas.
DATES: This rule is effective February 3, 2022.
ADDRESSES: To view documents mentioned in this preamble as being
available in the docket, go to https://www.regulations.gov, type USCG-
2021-0874 in the search box and click ``Search.'' Next, in the Document
Type column, select ``Supporting & Related Material.''
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this rule,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Table of Abbreviations
AOR Area of Responsibility
COTP Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley
CFR Code of Federal Regulations
DHS Department of Homeland Security
E.O. Executive Order
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 Port Sector Ohio Valley (COTP) is amending 33 CFR
165.801 to update the table of annual fireworks displays and other
events in Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley Area of Responsibility (AOR).
These events include air shows, fireworks displays, and other events
requiring a safety zone.
On December 6, 2021, the Coast Guard published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) titled, Safety Zones; Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley
Annual and Recurring Safety Zones Update (86 FR 68948). There we stated
why we issued the NPRM, and invited comments on our proposed regulatory
action related to those recurring safety zones. During the comment
period that ended on January 5, 2022, no comments were received.
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 Coast Guard is amending and
updating the safety zones under 33 CFR part 165 to include the most up
to date list of recurring safety zones for events held on or around
navigable waters within the Sector Ohio Valley AOR. These events
include fireworks displays, air shows, and festivals. The current list
in 33 CFR 165.801 requires amending to provide new information on
existing safety zones and to include new safety zones expected to recur
annually or biannually. Issuing individual regulations for each new
safety zone, amendment of existing safety zones 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 safety
zones. Based on the nature of these events, large numbers of
participants and spectators, and event locations, the COTP has
determined that the events listed in this rule could pose a risk to
participants or waterways users if the
[[Page 6032]]
normal vessel traffic were to interfere with the events. Possible
hazards include risks of injury or death from near or actual contact
among participant vessels and spectators or mariners traversing through
the regulated area. This purpose of this rule is to ensure the safety
of all waterway users, including event participants and spectators,
during the scheduled events.
IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule
As noted above, we received no comments on our NPRM published
December 6, 2021. There is one change in the regulatory text of this
rule from the proposed rule in the NPRM. The event Thunder Over
Louisville will occur the 4th weekend of April this year. The text now
reads in the table: 2 days--Third or fourth Friday and Saturday in
April. The change is within the scope of the originally proposed event.
This rule amends and updates part 165 of 33 CFR by revising the
current table for Sector Ohio Valley, and by adding two new recurring
safety zones, removing four safety zones, and amending 1 safety zone as
described in the NPRM. Vessels intending to transit the designated
waterway through the safety zone will only be allowed to transit the
area when the COTP, or designated representative, has deemed it safe to
do so or at the completion of the event.
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. 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).
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
Notices to Mariners, Local Notices to Mariners, and Marine Safety
Information Broadcasts to inform the community of these safety zones.
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
safety zone 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. It is categorically
excluded from further review under paragraph L60 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.
[[Page 6033]]
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.
