§ Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background, Purpose, and Legal
Basis
The Coast Guard lists annual marine
events in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR). For USCG Sector
Eastern Great Lakes, special local
regulations are listed in 33 CFR 100.901
and safety/security zones are listed in
33 CFR 165.939. Over the 2023 calendar
year, the Coast Guard was notified of
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:06 Jan 18, 2025
Jkt 265001
multiple marine events that are
conducted on an annual basis. The
Coast Guard previously established
temporary regulations implementing
safety zones or local regulations for each
of the respective events. The Captain of
the Port (COTP) Sector Eastern Great
Lakes determined that potential hazards
associated with these events would be a
safety concern for anyone within
boundaries defined in proposed special
local regulations and safety zones
during the time period of these
respective events. Moreover, the COTP
Sector Easter Great Lakes also seeks to
rename several of the enumerated
events in 33 CFR 165.939 to accurately
reflect the current event names.
Additionally, the COTP Sector Eastern
Great Lakes also determined that some
of the events currently listed in the
existing regulations are no longer
required.
The purpose of this rulemaking is to
ensure the safety of vessels and the
navigable waters before, during, and
after each respective scheduled event.
The Coast Guard is proposing this
rulemaking under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034 and 70041.
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
The COTP is proposing to amend
established special local regulations
found in 33 CFR part 100.901 and
established safety zone regulations
found in 33 CFR part 165.939. The
special local regulations and safety
zones would cover various navigable
waters within boundaries defined
below. As stated in prior rulemakings,
instituting temporary final rules for each
event, the duration of the special local
regulations and safety zones are
intended to ensure the safety of vessels
and these navigable waters before,
during, and after the scheduled events.
No vessel or person would be permitted
to enter these zones without obtaining
permission from the COTP or a
designated representative. The
regulatory organization, text, event
details, and precise coordinates for all
proposed events appear 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.
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
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).
This regulatory action determination
is based on the size, location, duration,
and time-of-day of each respective
event. Each event establishes temporary
safety/security zones or special local
regulations lasting a short period of time
over a small geographic area.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 265001
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 affected
areas 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
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
PO 00000
Frm 00064
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
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 two separate table
revisions that contain special regulated
areas and safety zones lasting various
times which prohibit entry within
defined areas. All additions, removals,
and existing items in the
aforementioned tables have been
previously categorically excluded.
Normally such actions are categorically
excluded from further review under
paragraph L60(a) and L61 of Appendix
A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual
023–01–001–01, Rev. 1. A preliminary
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
E:\FR\FM\21JAP1.SGM

6905
Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 12 / Tuesday, January 21, 2025 / Proposed Rules
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.

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec. Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis
The Coast Guard lists annual marine events in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR). For USCG Sector Eastern Great Lakes, special local
regulations are listed in 33 CFR 100.901 and safety/security zones are
listed in 33 CFR 165.939. Over the 2023 calendar year, the Coast Guard
was notified of multiple marine events that are conducted on an annual
basis. The Coast Guard previously established temporary regulations
implementing safety zones or local regulations for each of the
respective events. The Captain of the Port (COTP) Sector Eastern Great
Lakes determined that potential hazards associated with these events
would be a safety concern for anyone within boundaries defined in
proposed special local regulations and safety zones during the time
period of these respective events. Moreover, the COTP Sector Easter
Great Lakes also seeks to rename several of the enumerated events in 33
CFR 165.939 to accurately reflect the current event names.
Additionally, the COTP Sector Eastern Great Lakes also determined that
some of the events currently listed in the existing regulations are no
longer required.
The purpose of this rulemaking is to ensure the safety of vessels
and the navigable waters before, during, and after each respective
scheduled event. The Coast Guard is proposing this rulemaking under
authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034 and 70041.
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
The COTP is proposing to amend established special local
regulations found in 33 CFR part 100.901 and established safety zone
regulations found in 33 CFR part 165.939. The special local regulations
and safety zones would cover various navigable waters within boundaries
defined below. As stated in prior rulemakings, instituting temporary
final rules for each event, the duration of the special local
regulations and safety zones are intended to ensure the safety of
vessels and these navigable waters before, during, and after the
scheduled events. No vessel or person would be permitted to enter these
zones without obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated
representative. The regulatory organization, text, event details, and
precise coordinates for all proposed events appear 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 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).
This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, duration, and time-of-day of each respective event. Each
event establishes temporary safety/security zones or special local
regulations lasting a short period of time over a small geographic
area.
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
affected areas 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 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 two
separate table revisions that contain special regulated areas and
safety zones lasting various times which prohibit entry within defined
areas. All additions, removals, and existing items in the
aforementioned tables have been previously categorically excluded.
Normally such actions are categorically excluded from further review
under paragraph L60(a) and L61 of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS
Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. A preliminary 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
[[Page 6905]]
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.
