[Docket No. USCG–2023–0224]
Special Local Regulations Northern
California and Lake Tahoe Area Annual
Marine Events; Opening Day on San
Francisco Bay, San Francisco, CA
Coast Guard, DHS.
Notification of enforcement of
regulation.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard will enforce
the special local regulations for the
annual Opening Day on the San
Francisco Bay Boat Parade on April 30,
2023 to provide for the safety of life on
navigable waterways in the San
Francisco Bay during this event. Our
regulation for marine events in Northern
California identifies the regulated area
for this event in San Francisco, CA.
During the enforcement period,
unauthorized persons or vessels are
prohibited from entering into, transiting
through, or loitering or anchoring in the
regulated area, unless authorized by the
designated Patrol Commander
(PATCOM) or other Federal, State, or
local law enforcement agencies on scene
to assist the Coast Guard in enforcing
the regulated area.
DATES: The regulations in 33 CFR
100.1103 will be enforced for the
location in Table 1 to § 100.1103, Item
number 2 from noon to 3 p.m. on April
30, 2023.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If
you have questions about this
notification of enforcement, call, or
email MST1 Shannon Curtaz-Milian,
Sector San Francisco Waterways
Management, U.S. Coast Guard;
telephone (415) 399–7440, email
SFWaterways@uscg.mil.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast
Guard will enforce the special local
regulations in 33 CFR 100.1103, Table 1
to § 100.1103, Item number 2 for the
Opening Day on San Francisco Bay
regulated area from noon to 3 p.m. on
April 30, 2023. This action is being
taken to provide for the safety of life on
navigable waterways during this event.
Our regulation for marine events within
Northern California, § 100.1103,
specifies the location of the regulated
area for the Opening Day on San
Francisco Bay Boat Parade which
encompasses portions of the San
Francisco Bay. During the enforcement
period, the regulated area will be in
effect in the navigable waters, from

surface to bottom, defined by a line
drawn from Fort Point; thence easterly
approximately 5,000 yards; thence
easterly to the Blossom Rock Bell Buoy;
thence westerly to the Northeast corner
of Pier 39; thence returning along the
shoreline to the point of origin.
During the enforcement period, under
the provisions of 33 CFR 100.1103(b), if
you are the operator of a vessel in the
regulated area you must comply with
directions from the Patrol Commander
(PATCOM) or any other Official Patrol,
defined as a Federal, State, or local law
enforcement agency on scene to assist
the Coast Guard in enforcing the
regulated area. During the enforcement
period, if you are the operator of a
vessel that participates in the marine
event within the regulated area, you
must follow the parade route
established by the marine event
sponsor, be capable of maintaining an
approximate speed of 6 knots, and
comply with directions from the Patrol
Commander or other Official Patrol. The
PATCOM or Official Patrol may, upon
request, allow the transit of commercial
vessels through regulated areas when it
is safe to do so.
In addition to this notification of
enforcement in the Federal Register, the
Coast Guard plans to provide
notification of this enforcement period
via the Local Notice to Mariners. If the
Captain of the Port determines that the
regulated area need not be enforced for
the full duration stated in this notice, a
Broadcast Notice to Mariners or other
marine broadcast may be used to grant
general permission to enter the
regulated area.
Dated: March 22, 2023.

regulations for recurring marine
parades, regattas, and other events that
take place in the Coast Guard Sector
Ohio Valley area of responsibility
(AOR). This rule informs the public of
regularly scheduled events that require
additional safety measures through the
establishing of a special local regulation.
Through this rulemaking the current list
of recurring special local regulations is
updated with revisions, additional
events, and removal of events that no
longer take place in Sector Ohio Valley’s
AOR. When these special local
regulations are enforced, certain
restrictions are placed on marine traffic
in specified areas.
DATES: This rule is effective April 4,
2023.

DHS Department of Homeland Security
E.O. Executive order

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
§ Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background Information and
Regulatory History
The Captain of the Port Sector Ohio
Valley (COTP) is establishing,
amending, and updating its current list
of recurring special local regulations
codified under 33 CFR 100.801 in Table
no. 1, for the COTP Ohio Valley zone.
On January 19th, 2023, the Coast
Guard published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) titled Sector Ohio
Valley Annual and Recurring Special
Local Regulations Update (86 FR
69602). There we stated why we issued
the NPRM, and invited comments on
our proposed regulatory action related
to those recurring regulated areas.
During the comment period that ended
February 21, 2023, no comments were
received.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for
making this rule effective less than 30
E:\FR\FM\04APR1.SGM
04APR1
19858
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 64 / Tuesday, April 4, 2023 / Rules and Regulations
days after publication in the Federal
Register. Delaying the effective date of
this rule would be impracticable
because immediate action is needed to
ensure the safety of the events occurring
in March.
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
special local regulations under 33 CFR
part 100 to include the most up to date
list of recurring special local regulations
for events held on or around navigable
waters within the Sector Ohio Valley
AOR. These events include marine
parades, boat races, swim events, and
others. The current list under 33 CFR
100.801 requires amending to provide
new information on existing special
local regulations, include new special
local regulations expected to recur
annually or biannually, and to remove
special local regulations that are no
longer required. Issuing individual
regulations for each new special local
regulation, amendment, or removal of
an existing special local regulation
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 special local
regulations.
IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes,
and the Rule
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
As noted above, we received no
comments on our NPRM published
January 19, 2023. There are no changes
in the regulatory text of this rule from
the proposed rule in the NPRM. This
rule amends and updates part 100 of 33
CFR by revising the current table for
Sector Ohio Valley, and by adding eight
new recurring security zones, removing
four security zones, and amending
eleven security zones 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.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:05 Apr 03, 2023
Jkt 259001
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).
The Coast Guard expects the
economic impact of this rule to be
minimal, and therefore a full regulatory
evaluation is unnecessary. This rule
establishes special local regulations
limiting access to certain areas under 33
CFR 100 within Sector Ohio Valley’s
AOR. The effect of this rulemaking will
not be significant because these special
local regulations are limited in scope
and duration. Deviation from the special
local regulations established through
this rulemaking may be requested from
the appropriate COTP and requests will
be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Broadcast Notices to Mariners and Local
Notices to Mariners will inform the
community of these special local
regulations so that they may plan
accordingly for these short restrictions
on transit. Vessel traffic may request
permission from the COTP Ohio Valley
or a designated representative to enter
the restricted areas.
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 00 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
PO 00000
Frm 00058
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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
E:\FR\FM\04APR1.SGM
04APR1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 64 / Tuesday, April 4, 2023 / Rules and Regulations
$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 the
establishment of special local
regulations related to marine event
permits for marine parades, regattas,
and other marine events. It is
categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph L(61) of
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction
Manual 023–01–001–01, Rev. 1.
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.

Copayment Exemption for Indian
Veterans
Department of Veterans Affairs.
Final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Department of Veterans
Affairs (VA) adopts as final, with
changes, a proposed rule to amend its
medical regulations to implement a
statute exempting Indian and urban
Indian veterans from copayment
requirements for the receipt of hospital
care or medical services. This final rule
also exempts such veterans from
copayments for all urgent care visits.
DATES: This rule is effective April 4,
2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a
document published in the Federal
Register (FR) on January 12, 2023, VA
proposed to amend its medical
regulations at §§ 17.108, 17.110, 17.111,
and 17.4600 of title 38, Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) to exempt from
copayments veterans who submit
documentation to VA to demonstrate
they are either Indian or urban Indian,
as those terms are defined in section 4
of the Indian Health Care Improvement
Act (further codified at 25 U.S.C.
1603(13) and (28)), for hospital care or
medical services received on or after
January 5, 2022. 88 FR 2038. VA also
proposed retroactive reimbursement for
copayments already paid by these
veterans for such care provided on or
after January 5, 2022. VA provided a 30day comment period, which ended on
February 13, 2023. Forty-four comments
were received, of which one was a
duplicate comment, for a total of fortythree unique comments. Nine
commenters expressed support for the
proposed rule in whole. VA appreciates
these commenters’ support and does not
further address their comments below.
The remaining commenters expressed
concerns with the proposed rule in
whole or in part, and their comments
are addressed below by topic. As
explained in more detail below, VA
makes changes to the rule based on the
comments.

Special Local Regulations; Sector Ohio Valley Annual and
Recurring Special Local Regulations
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is amending and updating its special local
regulations for recurring marine parades, regattas, and other events
that take place in the Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley area of
responsibility (AOR). This rule informs the public of regularly
scheduled events that require additional safety measures through the
establishing of a special local regulation. Through this rulemaking the
current list of recurring special local regulations is updated with
revisions, additional events, and removal of events that no longer take
place in Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. When these special local regulations
are enforced, certain restrictions are placed on marine traffic in
specified areas.
DATES: This rule is effective April 4, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Table of Abbreviations
CFR Code of Federal Regulations
COTP Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley
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 the Port Sector Ohio Valley (COTP) is establishing,
amending, and updating its current list of recurring special local
regulations codified under 33 CFR 100.801 in Table no. 1, for the COTP
Ohio Valley zone.
On January 19th, 2023, the Coast Guard published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) titled Sector Ohio Valley Annual and
Recurring Special Local Regulations Update (86 FR 69602). There we
stated why we issued the NPRM, and invited comments on our proposed
regulatory action related to those recurring regulated areas. During
the comment period that ended February 21, 2023, no comments were
received.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30
[[Page 19858]]
days after publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective
date of this rule would be impracticable because immediate action is
needed to ensure the safety of the events occurring in March.
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 special local regulations under 33 CFR part 100 to include
the most up to date list of recurring special local regulations for
events held on or around navigable waters within the Sector Ohio Valley
AOR. These events include marine parades, boat races, swim events, and
others. The current list under 33 CFR 100.801 requires amending to
provide new information on existing special local regulations, include
new special local regulations expected to recur annually or biannually,
and to remove special local regulations that are no longer required.
Issuing individual regulations for each new special local regulation,
amendment, or removal of an existing special local regulation 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 special
local regulations.
IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule
As noted above, we received no comments on our NPRM published
January 19, 2023. There are no changes in the regulatory text of this
rule from the proposed rule in the NPRM. This rule amends and updates
part 100 of 33 CFR by revising the current table for Sector Ohio
Valley, and by adding eight new recurring security zones, removing four
security zones, and amending eleven security zones 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).
The Coast Guard expects the economic impact of this rule to be
minimal, and therefore a full regulatory evaluation is unnecessary.
This rule establishes special local regulations limiting access to
certain areas under 33 CFR 100 within Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. The
effect of this rulemaking will not be significant because these special
local regulations are limited in scope and duration. Deviation from the
special local regulations established through this rulemaking may be
requested from the appropriate COTP and requests will be considered on
a case-by-case basis. Broadcast Notices to Mariners and Local Notices
to Mariners will inform the community of these special local
regulations so that they may plan accordingly for these short
restrictions on transit. Vessel traffic may request permission from the
COTP Ohio Valley or a designated representative to enter the restricted
areas.
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 00 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
[[Page 19859]]
$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 the
establishment of special local regulations related to marine event
permits for marine parades, regattas, and other marine events. It is
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L(61) of
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1.
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.
