Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2022-0928]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zones; Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley Annual and Recurring
Safety Zones Update

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is proposing to amend and update its list of
recurring safety zone regulations that take place in the Coast Guard
Sector Ohio Valley area of responsibility (AOR). Through this
rulemaking, the current list of recurring safety zones is proposed to
be updated with revisions, additional events, and removal of events
that no longer take place. This proposed rule would reduce
administrative costs involved in producing separate proposed rules for
each individual recurring safety zone and serve to provide notification
of the known recurring safety zones throughout the year. We invite your
comments on this proposed rulemaking.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before February 22, 2023.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2022-0928 using the Federal Decision Making Portal at https://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 MST3 Bryan Crane, Sector Ohio
Valley, U.S. Coast Guard; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, email [email protected].

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    The Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley (COTP) proposes to amend
section 165.801 of Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to
update our regulations for annual fireworks displays and other events
in the Eighth Coast Guard District requiring safety zones with respect
to those in Sector Ohio Valley.
    The current list of annual and recurring safety zones in Sector
Ohio Valley's area of responsibility (AOR) is published under Table 1
of 33 CFR 165.801 for annual safety zones in the AOR.
    The Coast Guard proposes to amend and update the safety zone
regulations under 33 CFR part 165 to include the most up to date list
of recurring safety zones for events held on or around navigable waters
within Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. These events include air shows,
fireworks displays, and other marine related events requiring a limited
access area restricting vessel traffic for safety purposes. The current
list in 33 CFR 165.801 needs to be amended to provide new information
on existing safety zones, and to include new safety zones expected to
recur annually or biannually, and to remove safety zones that are no
longer required. Issuing individual regulations for each new safety
zone, amendment, or removal of an existing safety zone would create
unnecessary administrative costs and burdens. This single proposed
rulemaking would considerably reduce administrative overhead and
provide the public with notice through publication in the Federal
Register of the upcoming recurring safety zone regulations.
    The Coast Guard encourages the public to participate in this
proposed rulemaking through the comment process so that any necessary
changes can be identified and implemented in a timely and efficient
manner. The Coast Guard will address all public comments accordingly,
whether through response, additional revision to the regulation, or
otherwise.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    Part 165 of 33 CFR contains regulations establishing limited access
areas to restrict vessel traffic for the safety of persons and
property. Section 165.801 establishes recurring safety zones to
restrict vessel transit into and through specified areas to protect
spectators, mariners, and other persons and property from potential
hazards presented during certain events taking place in the AOR. This
section requires amendment from time to time to properly reflect the
recurring safety zone regulations in the AOR. This proposed rule would
amend and update Sec.  165.801 by revising the current Table 1.
    This proposed rule would add the following 8 safety zones to the
existing Table 1 of section 165.801 as follows:

    These new recurring events would be reflected in the table in the
general date order in which they will occur, and the current recurring
events would be reordered, as shown in the proposed regulatory text

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

    The effect of this proposed rule would be to restrict general
navigation in the safety zones during the events. Vessels intending to
transit the designated waterway through the safety zones would only be
allowed to transit the area when the COTP, or a designated
representative, has deemed it safe to do so or at the completion of the
event. The proposed annually recurring safety zones are necessary to
provide for the safety of life on navigable waters during the events.

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 Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, the NPRM
has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
    The Coast Guard expects the economic impact of this proposed rule
to be minimal, therefore a full regulatory evaluation is unnecessary.
This proposed rule would establish safety zones limiting access to
certain areas under 33 CFR part 165 within Sector Ohio Valley's AOR.
The effect of this proposed rulemaking would not be significant because
these safety zones would be limited in scope and duration.
Additionally, the public would be given advance notification through
the Federal Register, and/or Notices of Enforcement and, thus, will be
able to plan operations around the safety zones. Broadcast Notices to
Mariners, Local Notices to Mariners, and Safety Marine Information
Broadcasts would inform the community of these safety zones. Vessel
traffic would be allowed to request permission from the COTP or a
designated representative to enter the restricted areas. Broadcast
Notices to Mariners, Local Notices to Mariners, and Safety Marine
Information Broadcasts would inform the community of these safety
zones. Vessel traffic would be allowed to request permission from the
COTP 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 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 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. Normally such
actions are categorically excluded from further review under paragraph
L60(a) 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
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.
