33 CFR Part 100

[Docket Number USCG-2017-0571]
RIN 1625-AA08

Special Local Regulation; Choptank River, Cambridge, MD

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to establish special local
regulations for certain waters of the Choptank River. This action is
necessary to provide for the safety of life on the navigable waters
located in Cambridge, MD, during a power boat racing event on August
19, 2017, and August 20, 2017. This proposed rule would prohibit
persons and vessels from entering the regulated area unless authorized
by the Captain of the Port Maryland-National Capital Region or the
Coast Guard Patrol Commander. We invite your comments on this proposed
rulemaking.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before August 9, 2017.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2017-0571 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.

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    On May 17, 2017, The Kent Narrows Racing Association of Chester,
MD, notified the Coast Guard that it will be conducting power boat
races from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. on August 19, 2017, and August 20, 2017.
Final details of the event were provided to the Coast Guard on June 20,
2017. The high-speed power boat racing event consists of approximately
60 participants competing on a designated 1-mile oval course in the
Choptank River in a cove located between Hambrooks Bar and the
shoreline at Cambridge, MD. Hazards from the power boat races include
risks of injury or death resulting from near or actual contact among
participant vessels and spectator vessels or waterway users if normal
vessel traffic were to interfere with the event. The COTP Maryland-
National Capital Region has determined that potential hazards
associated with the power boat races would be a safety concern for
anyone intending to participate in this event or for vessels that
operate within specified waters of the Choptank River at Cambridge, MD.
    The purpose of this rulemaking is to protect marine event
participants, spectators and transiting vessels on specified waters of
the Choptank River before, during, and after the scheduled event. The
Coast Guard proposes this rulemaking under authority in 33 U.S.C. 1233,
which authorize the Coast Guard to establish and define special local
regulations.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The COTP Maryland-National Capital Region proposes to establish
special local regulations from 8:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. on August 19,
2017 and August 20, 2017. The regulated area would include all
navigable waters within Hambrooks Bay and Choptank River west and south
of a line commencing at the shoreline, at latitude 38[deg]35'00'' N.,
longitude 076[deg]04'43'' W., thence east to latitude 38[deg]35'00''
N., longitude 076[deg]04'23.7'' W., thence north to latitude
38[deg]35'22.7'' N., longitude 076[deg]04'23.7'' W., thence northwest
to latitude 38[deg]35'42.2'' N., longitude 076[deg]04'51.1'' W., at
Hambrooks Bar Light LLNR 24995, thence southwest to latitude
38[deg]35'34.2'' N., longitude 076[deg]05'12.3'' W., terminating at the
Hambrooks Bay breakwall as it intersects the shoreline. This rule
provides additional information about designated areas within the
regulated area, including ``Race Area,'' ``Spectator Area'' and
``Buffer Zone,'' and the restrictions that apply to mariners. The
duration of the regulated area is intended to ensure the safety of
event participants and vessels within the specified navigable waters
before, during, and after the power boat races, scheduled to occur
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. each day. Except for participants, no vessel
or person would be permitted to enter the regulated area without
obtaining permission from the COTP Maryland-National Capital Region or
the Coast Guard Patrol Commander. The regulatory text we are proposing
appears 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. 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 and
duration of the regulated area, which would impact a small designated
area of the Choptank River for 18 hours. The Coast Guard would issue a
Broadcast Notice to Mariners via marine band radio VHF-

FM channel 16 about the status of the regulated area. Moreover, the
rule would allow vessel operators to request permission to enter the
regulated area for the purpose of safely transiting the regulated area
if deemed safe to do so by the Coast Guard Patrol Commander.

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 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 above.

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 Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, 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
implementation of regulations within 33 CFR part 100 applicable to
organized marine events on the navigable waters of the United States
that may negatively impact the safety of waterway users and shore side
activities within the event area. This category of marine event water
activities includes but is not limited to sail boat regattas, boat
parades, power boat racing, swimming events, crew racing, canoe and
sail board racing. Normally such actions are categorically excluded
from further review under paragraph 34(h) of Figure 2-1 of Commandant
Instruction M16475.lD. A preliminary Record of Environmental
Consideration (REC) is available in the docket where indicated under
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

Control Number 2050-0182) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act.
This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved
through March 31, 2023. Public comments were previously requested via
the Federal Register on July 15, 2022 during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a proposed extension of the ICR,
which is currently approved through March 31, 2023. An agency may not

collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
    Public comments were previously requested via the Federal Register
(87 FR 42460) on July 15, 2022 during a 60-day comment period. This
notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. Supporting
documents, which explain in detail the information that the EPA will be
collecting, are available in the public docket for this ICR. The docket
can be viewed online at www.regulations.gov. Materials can also be
viewed at the Reading Room located at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West
Building, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20004.
The Docket Center's hours of operations are 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.,
Monday-Friday (except Federal Holidays). The telephone number for the
Docket Center is<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Abstract: Under the authority of sections 3004, 3005, 3008 and 3010
of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended, EPA
revised the RCRA hazardous waste permitting program to allow a
``standardized permit.'' The standardized permit is available to
facilities that generate hazardous waste and routinely manage the waste
on-site in non-thermal units such as tanks, containers, and containment
buildings. In addition, the standardized permit is available to
facilities that receive hazardous waste generated off-site by a
generator under the same ownership as the receiving facility, and then
store or non-thermally treat the hazardous waste in containers, tanks,
or containment buildings. The RCRA standardized permit consists of two
components: a uniform portion that is included in all cases, and a
supplemental portion that the Director of a regulatory agency

includes at his or her discretion. The uniform portion consists of
terms and conditions, relevant to the unit(s) at the permitted
facility, and is established on a national basis. The Director, at his
or her discretion, may also issue a supplemental portion on a case-by-
case basis. The supplemental portion imposes site-specific permit terms
and conditions that the Director determines necessary to institute
corrective action under section 264.101 (or state equivalent), or
otherwise necessary to protect human health and the environment. Owners
and operators have to comply with the terms and conditions in the
supplemental portion, in addition to those in the uniform portion.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are business or other for-profit.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary (40 CFR 270.275).
    Estimated number of respondents: 1.
    Frequency of response: One time.
    Total estimated burden: 218 hours per year. Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $19,873 (per year), includes $693 annualized
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in hour burden
included in this ICR. There is a slight increase in capital/O&M costs
due to updated estimates.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
