ACTION: Final rule.
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 December 13, 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
January 12, 2024, no comments were
received. A detailed description of the
changes is provided in the proposed
rule.
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 on March
18, 2024.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule
under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034. 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
December 13th, 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 four new recurring special
local regulations, removing two special
local regulations, and amending twentyseven special local regulations 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
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as
amended by Executive Order 14094
(Modernizing Regulatory Review).
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.
E:\FR\FM\16FER1.SGM
16FER1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 33 / Friday, February 16, 2024 / Rules and Regulations
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 special
local regulation 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
$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
12237
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. A
Memorandum for the Record supporting
this determination is available in the
docket. For instructions on locating the
docket, see the ADDRESSES section of
this preamble.
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.

33 CFR Part 100
[Docket Number USCG-2023-0903]
RIN 1625-AA08
Special Local Regulations; Sector Ohio Valley Annual and
Recurring Special Local Regulations
AGENCY: Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security (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 on March 18, 2024.
ADDRESSES: To view documents mentioned in this preamble as being

2023-0903 in the search box and click ``Search.'' Next, in the Document
Type column, select ``Supporting & Related Material.''
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about this rule,
call or email Petty Officer Kostas Papakonstantinou, Sector Ohio
Valley, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Coast Guard; telephone (502) 779-5348,

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 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 December 13, 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 January 12, 2024, no comments were
received. A detailed description of the changes is provided in the
proposed rule.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034. 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
December 13th, 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 four new recurring special local
regulations, removing two special local regulations, and amending
twenty-seven special local regulations 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 section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as
amended by Executive Order 14094 (Modernizing Regulatory Review).
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.
[[Page 12237]]
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
special local regulation 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 $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. A
Memorandum for the Record supporting this determination is available in
the docket. For instructions on locating the docket, see the ADDRESSES
section of this preamble.
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.
