Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 19 / Monday, January 30, 2023 / Proposed Rules
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to 14 CFR part 71 to revoke Colored
Federal airway R–39 in the vicinity of
Bethel, AK due to the decommissioning
of the OSE, VTR, ICW NDBs. R–39
currently navigates between OSE and
ICW. The FAA proposes to revoke R–39
in its entirety.
Colored Federal airways are
published in paragraph 6009(d) of FAA
Order JO 7400.11G dated August 19,
2022 and effective September 15, 2022,
which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The Colored Federal airway
listed in this document would be
removed subsequently in FAA Order JO
7400.11.
FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on
September 15.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
The FAA has determined that this
proposed regulation only involves an
established body of technical
regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to
keep them operationally current. It,
therefore: (1) is not a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ under Executive
Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant
rule’’ under Department of
Transportation (DOT) Regulatory
Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034;
February 26, 1979); and (3) does not
warrant preparation of a regulatory
evaluation as the anticipated impact is
so minimal. Since this is a routine
matter that will only affect air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this proposed rule, when
promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Environmental Review
This proposal will be subject to an
environmental analysis in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F,
‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final
regulatory action.

Notice of proposed rulemaking.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard proposes to
revise an existing safety zone regulation
in Tampa Bay within the geographic
boundaries of the Captain of the Port
(COTP) St. Petersburg Zone. The
proposed change is designed to align the
coordinates in the regulation with the
coordinates needed to properly control
traffic in cases of restricted visibility in
Tampa Bay. The current coordinates do
not reflect the safety zones that the
Coast Guard intended to put in place.
The Coast Guard invites your comments
on this proposed rulemaking.
DATES: Comments and related material
must be received by the Coast Guard on
or before March 1, 2023.

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
§ Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background, Purpose, and Legal
Basis
On June 26, 2015, the Coast Guard
published a final rule entitled, ‘‘Safety
Zones, St. Petersburg Captain of the Port
Zone.1 ’’ This action was taken to
establish safety zones that restrict port
operations in the event of reduced or
restricted visibility, or during natural
disasters, e.g. hurricanes, and establish
safety zones around firework platforms,
structures or barges during the storage,
preparation, and launching of fireworks.
This final rule established seven zones
that could be used to direct vessel
movement in times of restricted
visibility. In 2022, it was brought to the
attention of the Seventh Coast Guard
District that the safety zones listed in 33
CFR 165.782(a)(4) and (a)(5) did not
reflect the zones that were needed for
the Captain of the Port (COTP) to
properly control vessel movement in
times of reduced visibility. More
specifically, the errors were discovered
in the first coordinate of zone 4 in
§ 165.782(a)(4) and the second
coordinate of zone 5 in § 165.782(a)(5).
With this proposed rule, the Coast
Guard is correcting the points needed by
the COTP to ensure safety amongst all
port users, particularly in time of
reduced visibility. The Coast Guard is
proposing this rulemaking under
authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034.
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
This rule is proposing to modify
zones 4 and 5 listed in § 165.782(a)(4)
and (a)(5) to align with the zones that
were intended by the COTP, and are

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 19 / Monday, January 30, 2023 / Proposed Rules
necessary to control vessel movement
during times of reduced visibility. The
proposed rule would to make the
following changes in §§ 165.782(a)(4)
and (a)(5): move the first coordinate in
zone 4, from 27°46′34″ N, 82°34′04″ W,
to 27°46′36″ N; 82°24′04″ W, and move
the second coordinate in zone 5 from
27°58′59″ N, 82°40′34″ W, to 27°38′59″
N, 82°40′35″ W.
IV. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed 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 NPRM has not been designated a
‘‘significant regulatory action,’’ under
Executive Order 12866. Accordingly,
the NPRM has not been reviewed by the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB).
This regulatory action determination
is based on four specific factors: (1)
these zones will only be activated in
times of restricted visibility; (2) the
zones will only be activated for short
periods of time; (3) persons and vessels
may operate within the security zone
when authorized by Captain of the Port
of St. Petersburg or a designated
representative; and (4) the zones are
already in place, this regulatory action
only represents a minor change in the
boundaries.
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
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 proposed rule would 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 proposed rule would not have a
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:58 Jan 27, 2023
Jkt 259001
significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator.
If you think that your business,
organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity
and that this proposed rule would have
a significant economic impact on it,
please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it
qualifies and how and to what degree
this rule would economically affect it.
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 proposed rule. If the
proposed 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. The Coast
Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about
this proposed rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.
C. Collection of Information
This proposed rule would 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 proposed 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 proposed rule does not have
tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175 (Consultation and
Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments) because it would 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.
If you believe this proposed rule has
implications for federalism or Indian
tribes, please call or email the person
listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section.

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
proposed rule would not result in such
an expenditure, we do discuss the
potential effects of this proposed rule
elsewhere in this preamble.
F. Environment
We have analyzed this proposed 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 made a preliminary determination
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 proposed
rule only involves correction of
coordinates identifying the reduced
visibility of safety zones 4 and 5 that
had already been established for several
years. Normally such actions are
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
preliminary 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. We seek any comments or
information that may lead to the
discovery of a significant environmental
impact from this proposed rule.
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.
V. Public Participation and Request for

We view public participation as
essential to effective rulemaking, and
will consider all comments and material
received during the comment period.

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis
On June 26, 2015, the Coast Guard published a final rule entitled,

action was taken to establish safety zones that restrict port
operations in the event of reduced or restricted visibility, or during
natural disasters, e.g. hurricanes, and establish safety zones around
firework platforms, structures or barges during the storage,
preparation, and launching of fireworks. This final rule established
seven zones that could be used to direct vessel movement in times of
restricted visibility. In 2022, it was brought to the attention of the
Seventh Coast Guard District that the safety zones listed in 33 CFR
165.782(a)(4) and (a)(5) did not reflect the zones that were needed for
the Captain of the Port (COTP) to properly control vessel movement in
times of reduced visibility. More specifically, the errors were
discovered in the first coordinate of zone 4 in Sec. 165.782(a)(4) and
the second coordinate of zone 5 in Sec. 165.782(a)(5). With this
proposed rule, the Coast Guard is correcting the points needed by the

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
This rule is proposing to modify zones 4 and 5 listed in Sec.
165.782(a)(4) and (a)(5) to align with the zones that were intended by
the COTP, and are
[[Page 5825]]
necessary to control vessel movement during times of reduced
visibility. The proposed rule would to make the following changes in
Sec. Sec. 165.782(a)(4) and (a)(5): move the first coordinate in zone
4, from 27[deg]46'34'' N, 82[deg]34'04'' W, to 27[deg]46'36'' N;
82[deg]24'04'' W, and move the second coordinate in zone 5 from
27[deg]58'59'' N, 82[deg]40'34'' W, to 27[deg]38'59'' N, 82[deg]40'35''

IV. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed 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 NPRM has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, the NPRM
has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
This regulatory action determination is based on four specific
factors: (1) these zones will only be activated in times of restricted
visibility; (2) the zones will only be activated for short periods of
time; (3) persons and vessels may operate within the security zone when
authorized by Captain of the Port of St. Petersburg or a designated
representative; and (4) the zones are already in place, this regulatory
action only represents a minor change in the boundaries.
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
proposed rule would 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 proposed rule would not have a significant economic
impact on any vessel owner or operator.
If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this proposed rule
would have a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment
(see ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to
what degree this rule would economically affect it.
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 proposed rule. If the proposed 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. The Coast Guard will not
retaliate against small entities that question or complain about this
proposed rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard.
C. Collection of Information
This proposed rule would 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 proposed 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 proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175 (Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments) because it would 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. If
you believe this proposed rule has implications for federalism or
Indian tribes, please call or email the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.
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 proposed rule would not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the potential effects of
this proposed rule elsewhere in this preamble.
F. Environment
We have analyzed this proposed 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 made
a preliminary determination 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 proposed rule only involves
correction of coordinates identifying the reduced visibility of safety
zones 4 and 5 that had already been established for several years.
Normally such actions are 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 preliminary 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. We seek any comments or information that may lead to the
discovery of a significant environmental impact from this proposed
rule.
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.
