Notice of proposed rulemaking.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard is proposing
to establish a temporary safety zone for
all navigable waters in the Illinois River
at Mile Marker (MM) 162.7 through
163.3. This action is necessary to
provide for the safety of life on these
navigable waters near Peoria, IL, during
a drone show on June 10, 2023. This
proposed rulemaking would prohibit
persons and vessels from being in the
safety zone unless authorized by the
Captain of the Port Sector Upper
Mississippi River or a designated
representative. We invite your
comments on this proposed rulemaking.
DATES: Comments and related material
must be received by the Coast Guard on
or before April 30th, 2023.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
identified by docket number USCG–
2023–0229 using the Federal DecisionMaking Portal at https://

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
VerDate Sep<11>2014
20:43 Apr 19, 2023
Jkt 259001
The Peoria, IL Parks District notified
the Coast Guard that it will be
conducting a drone show from 9 p.m. to
10 p.m. on June 10, 2023. The drones
are to be launched shoreside from
Peoria Riverfront Park over the Illinois
River at MM 162.9. Hazards from the
displays include nonresponsive drones
falling from the sky and lights
associated with the display interfering
with lighted bridge or navigation aids.
The Captain of the Port Sector Upper
Mississippi River (COTP) has
determined that potential hazards
associated with the drones to be used in
this display would be a safety concern
for anyone within a quarter miles radius
on the event.
The purpose of this rulemaking is to
ensure the safety of vessels and the
navigable waters within a quarter mile
of MM 162.9 before, during, and after
the scheduled event. The Coast Guard is
proposing this rulemaking under
authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034.
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
The COTP is proposing to establish a
safety zone from MM 162.7 through
163.3 on June 10, 2023, 8:45 p.m.
through June 10, 2023, 10:15 p.m. The
safety zone would cover all navigable
waters within a quarter mile MM 162.9
in the Illinois River. The duration of the
zone is intended to ensure the safety of
vessels and these navigable waters
before, during, and after the scheduled
9 p.m. to 10 p.m. drone display. No
vessel or person would be permitted to
enter the safety zone without obtaining
permission from the COTP or a
designated representative. The
regulatory text we are proposing appears
at the end of this document.
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,
PO 00000
Frm 00035
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
24375
the NPRM has not been reviewed by the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB).
This regulatory action determination
is based on the size, location, duration
of the drone show, and time-of-day of
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 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
E:\FR\FM\20APP1.SGM

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 involves a safety zone lasting 1
hour that would prohibit entry within a
quarter mile of the drone show.
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 Record of
Environmental Consideration

may lead to the discovery of a
significant environmental impact from
this proposed rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
A. EPA’s 2015 SSM SIP Action
On February 22, 2013, the EPA issued
a Federal Register notice of proposed
rulemaking (the February 2013
Proposal) outlining EPA’s policy at the
time with respect to SIP provisions
related to periods of Startup, Shutdown,
and Malfunction (SSM). EPA analyzed
specific SSM SIP provisions and
explained how each one either did or
did not comply with the CAA with
regard to excess emission events.1 For
each SIP provision that the EPA
determined to be inconsistent with the
CAA, the EPA proposed to find that the
existing SIP provision was substantially
inadequate to meet CAA requirements
and thus proposed to issue a SIP call
under CAA section 110(k)(5). On
September 17, 2014, the EPA issued a
document supplementing and revising
what the Agency had previously
proposed on February 22, 2013 (the
supplemental notice of proposed
rulemaking (SNPR)), in light of a D.C.
Circuit decision that determined the
CAA precludes authority of the EPA to

Petition for Rulemaking; Findings of Substantial
Inadequacy; and SIP Calls To Amend Provisions
Applying to Excess Emissions During Periods of
Startup, Shutdown, and Malfunction, 78 FR 12460
(February 22, 2013).
PO 00000
Frm 00037
Fmt 4702

create affirmative defense provisions.
EPA outlined its updated policy that
affirmative defense SIP provisions are
not consistent with CAA requirements.
EPA proposed in the supplemental
proposal document to apply its revised
interpretation of the CAA to specific
affirmative defense SIP provisions and
proposed SIP calls for those provisions
where appropriate (79 FR 55920,
September 17, 2014).
On June 12, 2015, pursuant to CAA
section 110(k)(5), the EPA finalized
‘‘State Implementation Plans: Response
to Petition for Rulemaking; Restatement
and Update of EPA’s SSM Policy
Applicable to SIPs; Findings of
Substantial Inadequacy; and SIP Calls to
Amend Provisions Applying to Excess
Emissions During Periods of Startup,
Shutdown and Malfunction,’’ (80 FR
33839, June 12, 2015), hereafter referred
to as the ‘‘2015 SSM SIP Action.’’ The
2015 SSM SIP Action clarified, restated,
and updated the EPA’s interpretation
that SSM exemptions (whether
automatic or discretionary) and
affirmative defense SIP provisions are
inconsistent with CAA requirements.
The 2015 SSM SIP Action found that
certain SIP provisions in 36 states were
substantially inadequate to meet CAA
requirements and issued a SIP call to
those states to submit SIP revisions to
address the inadequacies. EPA
established an 18-month deadline by
which the affected states had to submit
such SIP revisions. States were required
to submit corrective revisions to their
SIPs in response to the SIP calls by
November 22, 2016. One regulation in
Virginia’s SIP was included in the 2015
SSM SIP Action. 80 FR 33840 at 33961
(June 12, 2015).
EPA issued a Memorandum in
October 2020 (2020 Memorandum),
which stated that certain provisions
governing SSM periods in SIPs could be
viewed as consistent with CAA
requirements.2 Importantly, the 2020
Memorandum stated that it ‘‘did not
alter in any way the determinations
made in the 2015 SSM SIP Action that
identified specific state SIP provisions
that were substantially inadequate to
meet the requirements of the Act.’’
Accordingly, the 2020 Memorandum
had no direct impact on the SIP call
issued to Virginia in the 2015 SSM SIP
Action. The 2020 Memorandum did,
however, indicate the EPA’s intent at
the time to review SIP calls that were
issued in the 2015 SSM SIP Action to
determine whether the EPA should

The Peoria, IL Parks District notified the Coast Guard that it will
be conducting a drone show from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. on June 10, 2023. The
drones are to be launched shoreside from Peoria Riverfront Park over
the Illinois River at MM 162.9. Hazards from the displays include
nonresponsive drones falling from the sky and lights associated with
the display interfering with lighted bridge or navigation aids. The
Captain of the Port Sector Upper Mississippi River (COTP) has

during, and after the scheduled event. The Coast Guard is proposing
this rulemaking under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034.
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
The COTP is proposing to establish a safety zone from MM 162.7
through 163.3 on June 10, 2023, 8:45 p.m. through June 10, 2023, 10:15
p.m. The safety zone would cover all navigable waters within a quarter
mile MM 162.9 in the Illinois River. The duration of the zone is
intended to ensure the safety of vessels and these navigable waters
before, during, and after the scheduled 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. drone
display. No vessel or person would be permitted to enter the safety
zone without obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated
representative. The regulatory text we are proposing appears at the end
of this document.
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 the size,
location, duration of the drone show, and time-of-day of 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
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

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
[[Page 24376]]
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 involves a safety
zone lasting 1 hour that would prohibit entry within a quarter mile of
the drone show. 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 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.
