The Coast Guard is issuing this
temporary rule without prior notice and

Jkt 259001
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule
under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034. The
Captain of the Port Sector Corpus
Christi (COTP) has determined that
potential hazards associated with the
airshow from 11:30 a.m. through 4 p.m.
each day, starting on May 4, 2023
through May 7, 2023, will be a safety
concern for anyone within the waters of
the Corpus Christi Bay on an area of
1.25 sq. miles on the following box;
27°49′2.78″ N, 97°23′16.1″ W to
27°47′3.69″ N, 97°23′14.62″ W to
27°47′5.46″ N, 97°22′41.02″ W to
27°49′2.73″ N, 97°22′42.97″ W to
27°49′2.78″ N, 97°23′16.10″ W. The
purpose of this rule is to ensure safety
of vessels and persons on these
navigable waters in the safety zone
while the airshow takes place in the
Corpus Christi Bay.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a temporary
safety zone from 11:30 a.m. through 4
p.m. each day, starting on May 4, 2023
through May 7, 2023. The safety zone
will encompass certain navigable waters
of the Corpus Christi Bay and is defined
by a 1.25 sq. miles box. The regulated
area encompasses the following
coordinates; 27°49′2.78″ N, 97°23′16.1″
W to 27°47′3.69″ N, 97°23′14.62″ W to
27°47′5.46″ N, 97°22′41.02″ W to
27°49′2.73″ N, 97°22×42.97″ W to
27°49′2.78″ N, 97°23′16.10″ W. The
airshow display will take place in
waters of the Corpus Christi Bay. No
vessel or person is permitted to enter
the temporary safety zone during the
effective period without obtaining
permission from the COTP or a
designated representative, who may be
contacted on Channel 16 VHF–FM
(156.8 MHz) or by telephone at 361–
939–0450. The Coast Guard will issue
Broadcast Notices to Mariners, Local
Notices to Mariners, and/or Safety
Marine Information Broadcasts as
appropriate.

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 zone. The
temporary safety zone will be enforced
for a short period of 4.5 hours, each day.
The zone is limited to 1.25 sq. miles box
in the navigable waters of the Corpus
Christi Bay. The rule does not
completely restrict the traffic within a
waterway and allows mariners to
request permission to enter the 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
temporary 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 contact the person
listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section.

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 54 / Tuesday, March 21, 2023 / Rules and Regulations
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. If you
believe this rule has implications for
federalism or Indian tribes, please
contact the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section
above.
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,
VerDate Sep<11>2014

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, 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
establishment of a temporary safety
zone for navigable waters of the Corpus
Christi Bay in a zone defined by 1.25 sq.
miles on the following box; 27°49′2.78″
N, 97°23′16.1″ W to 27°47″3.69″ N,
97°23′14.62″ W to 27°47′5.46″ N,
97°22′41.02″ W to 27°49′2.73″ N,
97°22′42.97″ W to 27°49′2.78″ N,
97°23′16.10″ W. The safety zone is
needed to protect personnel, vessels,
and the marine environment from
potential hazards created by an airshow
in the waters of the Corpus Christi Bay.
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

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034. The Captain of the Port Sector Corpus Christi (COTP) has
determined that potential hazards associated with the airshow from
11:30 a.m. through 4 p.m. each day, starting on May 4, 2023 through May
7, 2023, will be a safety concern for anyone within the waters of the
Corpus Christi Bay on an area of 1.25 sq. miles on the following box;
27[deg]49'2.78'' N, 97[deg]23'16.1'' W to 27[deg]47'3.69'' N,

97[deg]23'16.10'' W. The purpose of this rule is to ensure safety of
vessels and persons on these navigable waters in the safety zone while
the airshow takes place in the Corpus Christi Bay.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a temporary safety zone from 11:30 a.m.
through 4 p.m. each day, starting on May 4, 2023 through May 7, 2023.
The safety zone will encompass certain navigable waters of the Corpus

encompasses the following coordinates; 27[deg]49'2.78'' N,
97[deg]23'16.1'' W to 27[deg]47'3.69'' N, 97[deg]23'14.62'' W to

vessel or person is permitted to enter the temporary safety zone during
the effective period without obtaining permission from the COTP or a
designated representative, who may be contacted on Channel 16 VHF-FM
(156.8 MHz) or by telephone at 361-939-0450. The Coast Guard will issue
Broadcast Notices to Mariners, Local Notices to Mariners, and/or Safety
Marine Information Broadcasts as appropriate.
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 zone. The temporary safety zone
will be enforced for a short period of 4.5 hours, each day. The zone is
limited to 1.25 sq. miles box in the navigable waters of the Corpus
Christi Bay. The rule does not completely restrict the traffic within a
waterway and allows mariners to request permission to enter the 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
temporary 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

entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have

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,

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

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

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)

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
