Background and Purpose

    Marine events are frequently held on the navigable waters within
the boundary of the Fifth Coast Guard District. For a description of
the geographical area of each Coast Guard Sector--Captain of the Port
Zone, please see 33 CFR 3.25.
    This regulation currently includes events such as sailing regattas,
power boat races, swim races and holiday parades. Currently, there are
over 60 annually recurring marine events and many other non-recurring
events within the district. In the past, the Coast Guard regulated
these events by creating individual special local regulations on a case
by case basis. Most of these events required only the establishment of
a regulated area and assignment of a patrol commander to ensure safety.
Issuing individual, annual special local regulations has created a
significant administrative burden on the Coast Guard. From 2005 to 2007
the Coast Guard created over 100 temporary regulations for marine
events in the Fifth District. The numbers are expected to rise in 2008
with the growing popularity of water sports activities.
    Additionally, for the majority of these events, the Coast Guard
does not receive notification of the event, or important details of the
event are not finalized by event organizers, with sufficient time to
publish a notice of proposed rulemaking and final rule before the event
date. The Coast Guard must therefore create

temporary final rules that sometimes are not completed until only days
before the event. This results in delayed notification to the public,
potentially placing the public and event participants at risk.
    This proposed rule would significantly relieve the administrative
burden on the Coast Guard, and at the same time allow the sponsor of
the event and the Coast Guard to notify the public of these events in a
timely manner. The public would be provided with notice of events
through the table attached to this regulation. This table lists each
recurring event that may be regulated by the Coast Guard, and indicates
the sponsor, as well as the date and location of the event. Because the
dates and locations of these events may change slightly from year to
year, the specific information on each event, including the exact
dates, specific areas, and description of the regulated area, would be
provided to the public through a Local Notice to Mariners published
before the event, as well as through Broadcast Notice to Mariners. This
table would also be updated by the Coast Guard periodically to add new
recurring events, remove events that no longer occur, and update listed
events to ensure accurate information is provided.

Discussion of Proposed Rule

    This proposed rule would apply to each event listed in the attached
table to this rule. Events listed in the table are events that recur
annually in the Fifth Coast Guard District. The table provides the
event name and sponsor, as well as an approximate date and location of
the event. The specific date and regulated area for each event would be
provided in a Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners
prior to each event. Some events listed in the table currently have
permanent regulations published in 33 CFR part 100, and these
regulations would be removed because they no longer occur regularly.
    For each event listed in the table, an event patrol, with a Patrol
Commander in charge, may be assigned. The Patrol Commander may control
the movement of all vessels in the regulated area(s). When hailed or
signaled by an official patrol vessel, a vessel in these areas would be
required to immediately comply with the directions given. Failure to do
so may result in expulsion from the area, citation for failure to
comply, or both. The Coast Guard Patrol Commander may terminate the
event, or the operation of any vessel participating in the event, at
any time it is deemed necessary for the protection of life or property.
    Only event sponsors, designated participants, and official patrol
vessels would be allowed to enter a regulated area. All persons and
vessels not registered with the event sponsor as participants or
official patrol vessels are considered spectators. Spectators may not
enter the regulated area and may be confined to a designated spectator
area to view the event. Spectators may contact the Coast Guard Patrol
Commander to request permission to pass through the regulated area. If
permission is granted, spectators would be required to pass directly
through the regulated area at safe speed and without loitering.

Regulatory Evaluation

    This proposed rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review,
and does not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits
under section 6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under that Order.
    We expect the economic impact of this proposed rule to be so
minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary. The effect of
this proposed action merely establishes the dates on which the existing
regulations would be enforced and consolidates them within one
regulation. It would not impose any additional restrictions on vessel
traffic.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this proposed rule would have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities. 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. This proposed rule would affect the following
entities, some of which might be small entities: The owners or
operators of vessels intending to transit or anchor in the areas where
marine events are being held. This proposed regulation will not have a
significant impact on a substantial number of small entities because it
will only be enforced on marine events that have been permitted by the
Coast Guard Captain of the Port. The Captain of the Port will ensure
that small entities are able to operate in the areas where events are
occurring. Additionally, in most cases, vessels will be able to safely
transit around the regulated area at all times, and, with the
permission of the Patrol Commander, vessels may transit through the
regulated area.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this 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.

Assistance for Small Entities

    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 so that they can better
evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. If the
rule would affect your small business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its provisions or
options for compliance, please contact the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 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.

Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would call for no new collection of information
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520.).

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this proposed rule
under that Order and have determined that it does not have implications
for federalism.

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 or more in any
one year. Though this proposed rule would not result in such an
expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this
preamble.

Taking of Private Property

    This proposed rule would not effect a taking of private property or
otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630,
Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected
Property Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

    This proposed rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and
3(b) (2) of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize
litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This rule is not an economically significant rule and would not
create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    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.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13211,
Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
    This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD which guides the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and
have made a preliminary determination that this action is not likely to
have a significant effect on the human environment. We believe that
this rule should be categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph
(34)(h), of the Instruction, from further environmental documentation.
This proposed rule fits the category of paragraph 34(h) because it
proposes to create special local regulations for regattas and marine
parades.
    We seek any comments or information that may lead to the discovery
of a significant environmental impact from this proposed rule.
