Local Regulations
Coast Guard, Department of
Homeland Security (DHS).
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
AGENCY:
The Coast Guard proposes
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 proposed rulemaking
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
SUMMARY:
Date
16:10 Dec 12, 2023
The Captain of the Port Sector Ohio
Valley (COTP) proposes to update the
current list of recurring special local
regulations for events occurring within
the Sector Ohio Valley area of
responsibility within the Coast Guard’s
Eighth District. The list of events we
seek to update is in Title 33 of the Code
of Federal Regulations (CFR) section
100.801, Table 1 to § 100.801.
The Coast Guard will consider
comments submitted on this proposed
rule in determining if any additional
revisions are needed to this regulatory
section. Additionally, the public would
be informed of these recurring events
through local means and planned by the
local communities.
The current list of annual and
recurring special local regulations
occurring in Sector Ohio Valley’s AOR
is published in 33 CFR 100.801, Table
1 titled ‘‘Ohio Valley Annual and
Reoccurring Marine Events.’’ The most
recent list was published on April 4,
2023 (87 FR 6026).
The Coast Guard’s authority for
establishing a special local regulation is
contained in 46 U.S.C. 70041(a). The
Coast Guard proposes to amend and
update the special local regulations in
33 CFR 100.801, Table 1, to include the
most up to date list of recurring special
local regulations for events held on or
around the navigable waters within
Sector Ohio Valley’s AOR. These events
would include marine parades, boat
races, swim events, and other marine
related events. The current list under 33
CFR 100.801, Table 1, requires
amendment to provide new information
on existing special local regulations,
add new special local regulations
expected to recur annually or
biannually, and to remove special local
regulations that no longer occur. 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
single proposed rulemaking will
considerably reduce administrative
overhead. It also provide the public
with notice through publication in the
Federal Register of all recurring special
local regulations in the AOR.
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
Part 100 of 33 CFR contains
regulations describing regattas and
marine parades conducted on U.S.
navigable waters in order to ensure the
safety of life in the regulated areas.
Section 100.801 provides the
regulations applicable to events taking
place in the Eighth Coast Guard District
and also provides a table listing each
event and special local regulations. This
section requires amendment from time
to time to properly reflect the recurring
special local regulations. This proposed
rule would update section 100.801,
Table 1 titled ‘‘Ohio Valley Annual and
Reoccurring Marine Events.’’
This proposed rule would add 4 new
recurring special local regulations to
Table 1 of section 100.801 for Sector
Ohio Valley, as follows:

(city, state)

would update the current list of
recurring special local regulations with
revisions, additions, and removals of
events that no longer take place in the
Sector Ohio Valley AOR. We invite your
comments on this proposed rulemaking.
DATES: Comments and related material
must be received by the Coast Guard on
or before January 12, 2024.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
identified by docket number USCG–
2023–0903 using the Federal DecisionMaking Portal at https://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION. This
notice of proposed rulemaking with its
plain-language, 100-word-or-less
proposed rule summary will be
available in this same docket.

you have questions about this proposed
rulemaking, call or email Petty Officer

The effect of this proposed rule would
be to restrict general navigation during
these events. Vessels intending to transit
the designated waterways during
effective periods of the special local
regulations would only be allowed to
transit the area when the COTP or
designated representative, has deemed it
would be safe to do so or at the
completion of the event.
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
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
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as
amended by Executive Order 14094
(Modernizing Regulatory Review).
Accordingly, the NPRM has not been
reviewed by the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB).
The Coast Guard expects the
economic impact of this proposed rule
to be minimal, therefore a full regulatory
evaluation is unnecessary. This
proposed rule would establish special
local regulations limiting access to
certain areas described in 33 CFR
100.801, Table 1. The effect of this
proposed rulemaking would not be
significant because these special local
regulations are limited in scope and
duration. Additionally, the public
would be given advance notification
through local forms of notice, the
Federal Register, or Notices of
Enforcement. Thus, the public would be
able to plan their operations and
activities around enforcement times of
the special local regulations. Broadcast

Information Broadcasts would also
inform the community of these special
local regulations. Vessel traffic would be
permitted to request permission from
the COTP 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 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 regulated
area may be small entities, for reasons
stated in section IV.A. above, this
proposed rule would not have a
significant economic impact on any
owner or operator because they are
limited in scope and will be in effect for
short periods of time.
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
PO 00000
no longer occur as described. Changes

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
E:\FR\FM\13DEP1.SGM
13DEP1
86298
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 238 / Wednesday, December 13, 2023 / Proposed Rules
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. Normally such
actions are categorically excluded from
further review under paragraph L[61] of
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction
Manual 023–01–001–01, Rev. 1. of the
Instruction because it involves
establishment of special local
regulations related to marine event
permits for marine parades, regattas,
and other marine events. 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
Comments
We view public participation as
essential to effective rulemaking and
will consider all comments and material
received during the comment period.
Your comment can help shape the
outcome of this rulemaking. If you
submit a comment, please include the

Special Local Regulations; Sector Ohio Valley Annual and
Recurring Special Local Regulations
AGENCY: Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes 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 proposed rulemaking would update the current
list of recurring special local regulations with revisions, additions,
and removals of events that no longer take place in the Sector Ohio
Valley AOR. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before January 12, 2024.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2023-0903 using the Federal Decision-Making Portal at https://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION. This notice of
proposed rulemaking with its plain-language, 100-word-or-less proposed
rule summary will be available in this same docket.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about this
proposed rulemaking, call or email Petty Officer Bryan Crane, Sector
Ohio Valley, U.S. Coast Guard; telephone (502) 779-5334, email [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Table of Abbreviations
CFR Code of Federal Regulations
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec. Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis
The Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley (COTP) proposes to
update the current list of recurring special local regulations for
events occurring within the Sector Ohio Valley area of responsibility
within the Coast Guard's Eighth District. The list of events we seek to
update is in Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) section
100.801, Table 1 to Sec. 100.801.
The Coast Guard will consider comments submitted on this proposed
rule in determining if any additional revisions are needed to this
regulatory section. Additionally, the public would be informed of these
recurring events through local means and planned by the local
communities.
The current list of annual and recurring special local regulations
occurring in Sector Ohio Valley's AOR is published in 33 CFR 100.801,
Table 1 titled ``Ohio Valley Annual and Reoccurring Marine Events.''
The most recent list was published on April 4, 2023 (87 FR 6026).
The Coast Guard's authority for establishing a special local
regulation is contained in 46 U.S.C. 70041(a). The Coast Guard proposes
to amend and update the special local regulations in 33 CFR 100.801,
Table 1, to include the most up to date list of recurring special local
regulations for events held on or around the navigable waters within
Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. These events would include marine parades,
boat races, swim events, and other marine related events. The current
list under 33 CFR 100.801, Table 1, requires amendment to provide new
information on existing special local regulations, add new special
local regulations expected to recur annually or biannually, and to
remove special local regulations that no longer occur. 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 single proposed
rulemaking will considerably reduce administrative overhead. It also
provide the public with notice through publication in the Federal
Register of all recurring special local regulations in the AOR.
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
Part 100 of 33 CFR contains regulations describing regattas and
marine parades conducted on U.S. navigable waters in order to ensure
the safety of life in the regulated areas. Section 100.801 provides the
regulations applicable to events taking place in the Eighth Coast Guard
District and also provides a table listing each event and special local
regulations. This section requires amendment from time to time to
properly reflect the recurring special local regulations. This proposed
rule would update section 100.801, Table 1 titled ``Ohio Valley Annual
and Reoccurring Marine Events.''
This proposed rule would add 4 new recurring special local
regulations to Table 1 of section 100.801 for Sector Ohio Valley, as
follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sector Ohio Valley
Date Event/sponsor location (city, state) Regulated area
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 Days--Saturday and Sunday before Powerboat Nationals-- Point Marion, PA....... Monongahela River,
Memorial Day. Point Marion. Miles 89-91
(Pennsylvania).
1 Day--One Weekend in June........... Race on the Oyo........ Racine, OH to Point Ohio River (Mile 242-

[[Page 86296]]
1 Day--Last Weekend in June or First Charleston Sternwheel Charleston, WV......... Kanawha River (Mile 58-
Weekend in July. Regatta. 59) West Virginia.
1 Day in August...................... Team Rocket Tri Club/ Huntsville, AL......... Tennessee River, Mile
Swim Hobbs Island. 332.3-338.0.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These new recurring special local regulations would be reflected in
the table in the general date order in which they will occur. The
current recurring special local regulations would be reordered, as
shown in the proposed regulatory text below.
Additionally, this proposed rule would amend 27 recurring special
local regulations in Table 1 of section 100.801 for Sector Ohio Valley,
as follows. The revisions provide more accurate descriptions of the
events, dates, locations, and areas.

Lastly, this proposed rule would remove 2 recurring special local
regulations in Table 1 of section 100.801 for Sector Ohio Valley. The
events will no longer occur as described. Changes are as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sector Ohio Valley
Date Event/sponsor location (city, state) Regulated area
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 Day--One of the first two weekends City of Bellevue, KY/ Bellevue, KY........... Ohio River, Miles 468.2-
in July City of Bellevue, KY/ Bellevue Beach Park 469.2 (Kentucky &
Bellevue Beach Park Concert Concert Fireworks. Ohio).
Fireworks Bellevue, KY Ohio River,
Miles 468.2-469.2 (Kentucky & Ohio).
1 Day--First week in August.......... Gliers Goetta Fest LLC. Newport, KY............ Ohio River, Miles 469.0-
471.0.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The effect of this proposed rule would be to restrict general
navigation during these events. Vessels intending to transit the
designated waterways during effective periods of the special local
regulations would only be allowed to transit the area when the COTP or
designated representative, has deemed it would be safe to do so or at
the completion of the event.
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 section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as
amended by Executive Order 14094 (Modernizing Regulatory Review).
Accordingly, the NPRM has not been reviewed by the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB).
The Coast Guard expects the economic impact of this proposed rule
to be minimal, therefore a full regulatory evaluation is unnecessary.
This proposed rule would establish special local regulations limiting
access to certain areas described in 33 CFR 100.801, Table 1. The
effect of this proposed rulemaking would not be significant because
these special local regulations are limited in scope and duration.
Additionally, the public would be given advance notification through
local forms of notice, the Federal Register, or Notices of Enforcement.
Thus, the public would be able to plan their operations and activities
around enforcement times of the special local regulations. Broadcast
Notices to Mariners, Local Notices to Mariners, and Safety Marine
Information Broadcasts would also inform the community of these special
local regulations. Vessel traffic would be permitted to request
permission from the COTP 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 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
regulated area may be small entities, for reasons stated in section
IV.A. above, this proposed rule would not have a significant economic
impact on any owner or operator because they are limited in scope and
will be in effect for short periods of time.
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
[[Page 86298]]
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. Normally such actions are
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L[61] of
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. of
the Instruction because it involves establishment of special local
regulations related to marine event permits for marine parades,
regattas, and other marine events. 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 Comments
We view public participation as essential to effective rulemaking
and will consider all comments and material received during the comment
period. Your comment can help shape the outcome of this rulemaking. If
you submit a comment, please include the docket number for this
rulemaking, indicate the specific section of this document to which
