33 CFR Part 100

[Docket Number USCG-2018-0749]
RIN 1625-AA08

Special Local Regulations; Recurring Marine Events, Sector Miami

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to revise existing regulations and
consolidate into one table special local regulations for recurring
marine events at various locations within the geographic boundaries of
the Seventh Coast Guard District Captain of the Port (COTP) Miami Zone.
Consolidating marine events into one table simplifies Coast Guard
oversight and public notification of special local regulations within
COTP Miami Zone. The Coast Guard invites your comments on this proposed
rulemaking.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before November 1, 2019.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2018-0749 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further
instructions on submitting comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about this
proposed rulemaking, call or email Omar Beceiro, Sector Miami Waterways

Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    Recurring races, swims, and other marine events within the Seventh
Coast Guard District are currently listed in 33 CFR 100.701, Table to
Sec.  100.701. The process for amending the table (e.g., adding or
removing marine events) is lengthy and inefficient since it includes
recurring marine events for seven different COTP zones within the
Seventh District. To expedite and simplify the rule-making process for
new marine events/special local regulations, COTP's resorted to
creating individual rules rather than amending Table to Sec.  100.701.
    This rule serves two purposes: (1) Create a table of recurring
marine events/special local regulations occurring solely within the
COTP Miami Zone, and (2) consolidate into that table marine events/
special local regulations previously established outside of Table to
Sec.  100.701. The resultant table would facilitate management of and
public access to information about marine events within the COTP Miami
Zone.
    The Coast Guard proposes this rulemaking under authority in 46
U.S.C. 70041.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    This rulemaking proposes to make the following changes:
    1. Establish 33 CFR 100.702 Special Local Regulations; Marine
Events Within the Captain of the Port Miami;
    2. Move existing marine events/special local regulations from Table
to Sec.  100.701 under (a) COTP Zone Miami; Special Local Regulations
(33 CFR 100.701) to new Table to Sec.  100.702;
    3. Move 33 CFR 100.723 Special Local Regulation; Fort Lauderdale
Grand Prix of the Seas; Fort Lauderdale, FL to Table to Sec.  100.702,
and delete existing Sec.  100.723;
    4. Move 33 CFR 100.726, Special Local Regulation; Fort Lauderdale
Air Show; Atlantic Ocean, Fort Lauderdale, FL to Table to Sec.
100.702, and delete existing Sec.  100.726;
    5. Revise Special Local Regulation; Fort Lauderdale Air Show;
Atlantic Ocean, Fort Lauderdale, FL dates to ``One weekend in May
(Friday, Saturday, and Sunday)'' in Table to Sec.  100.702;
    6. Move 33 CFR 100.729, Columbus Day Regatta, Biscayne Bay, Miami,
FL to Table to Sec.  100.702, and delete existing Sec.  100.729; and
    7. Add Miami Beach Air and Sea Show (new) to Table to Sec.
100.702.
    Marine events are listed as occurring over a particular weekend and
month each year. Exact dates are intentionally omitted since calendar
dates for a specific weekend change from year to year. Once dates for a
marine event are known, the Coast Guard notifies the public it intends
to enforce the special local regulation through various means including
a Notice of Enforcement published in the Federal Register, Local Notice
to Mariners, and Broadcast Notice to Mariners.

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. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. 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), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, and duration of the special local regulations. These areas
are limited in size and duration, and usually do not affect high vessel
traffic areas. Moreover, the Coast Guard would provide advance notice
of the regulated areas to the local maritime community by Local Notice
to Mariners, Broadcast to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16, and
the rule would allow vessels to seek permission to enter the regulated
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
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 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 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 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 contact 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 effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Directive 023-01 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 the
establishment of special local regulations for recurring marine events
within the COTP Miami Zone. Normally such actions are categorically
excluded from further review under paragraphs L61 in Table 3-1 of U.S.
Coast Guard Environmental Planning Implementing Procedures 5090.1. A
preliminary Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this
determination is available in the docket where indicated in ADDRESSES.
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 contact 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

    The following regulations apply to the marine events listed in
Table 1 of this section. These regulations will be effective annually
for the duration listed in Table 1. The Coast Guard will notify the
maritime community of exact dates and times each regulation will be in
effect and the nature of each event (e.g., location, number of
participants, type of vessels involved, etc.) through a Notice of
Enforcement published in the Federal Register, Local Notice to
Mariners, and Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
    (a) Definitions. The following definitions apply to this section:
    (1) Designated Representative. The term ``Designated
Representative'' means Coast Guard Patrol Commanders, including Coast
Guard coxswains, petty officers, others operating Coast Guard vessels,
and federal, state, and local officers designated by or assisting the
Captain of the Port (COTP) Miami in the enforcement of the regulated
areas.
    (2) Spectators. All persons and vessels not registered with the
event sponsor as participants.
    (b) Event Patrol. The Coast Guard may assign an event patrol, as
described in Sec.  100.40 of this part, to each regulated event listed
in the table. Additionally, a Patrol Commander may be assigned to
oversee the patrol. The event patrol and Patrol Commander may be
contacted on VHF Channel 16.
    (c) Special Local Regulations. (1) The COTP Miami or Designated
Representative may control the movement of all vessels in the regulated
area. When hailed or signaled by an official patrol vessel, a vessel in
these areas shall immediately comply with the directions given. Failure
to do so may result in removal from the area, citation for failure to
comply, or both.
    (2) The COTP Miami or Designated Representative 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.
    (3) Only event sponsor designated participants and official patrol
vessels are allowed to enter the regulated area, unless otherwise
authorized by the COTP Miami or Designated Representative.
    (4) Spectators may request permission from the COTP Miami or

by the directions of the COTP Miami or a Designated Representative.

traffic density, spectator operation, or participant behavior.
