[Docket No. USCG-2011-0286]
RIN 1625-AA00; 1625-AA08

Eighth Coast Guard District Annual Marine Events and Safety Zones

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Direct final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is amending and updating its special local
regulations and safety zones relating to recurring marine parades,
regattas, fireworks displays, and other events that take place in the
Eighth Coast Guard District area of responsibility. This rule informs
the public of regularly scheduled marine parades, regattas, fireworks
displays, and other annual events. When these special local regulations
and safety zones are enforced, marine traffic is restricted in
specified areas. The purpose of this rule is to reduce administrative
costs involved in producing a separate rule for each individual
recurring event and to provide notice of the known recurring events
requiring a special local regulation or safety zone throughout the
year. This rule will also help to protect event participants and the
public from the hazards associated with the listed events.

DATES: This rule is effective May 30, 2012, unless an adverse comment,
or notice of intent to submit an adverse comment, is either submitted
to our online docket via http://www.regulations.gov on or before April
2, 2012 or reaches the Docket Management Facility by that date. If an
adverse comment, or notice of intent to submit an adverse comment, is
received by April 2, 2012, we will withdraw this direct final rule and
publish a notice of withdrawal in the Federal Register.

Regulatory Information

    We are publishing this direct final rule under 33 CFR 1.05-55
because we do not expect an adverse comment. If no adverse comment or
notice of intent to submit an adverse comment is received by April 2,
2012, this rule will become effective as stated in the DATES section.
In that case, approximately 30 days before the effective date, we will
publish a document in the Federal Register stating that no adverse
comment was received and confirming that this rule will become
effective as scheduled. However, if we receive an adverse comment or
notice of intent to submit an adverse comment, we will publish a
document in the Federal Register announcing the withdrawal of all or
part of this direct final rule. If an adverse comment applies only to
part of this rule (e.g., to an amendment, a paragraph, or a section)
and it is possible to remove that part without defeating the purpose of
this rule, we may adopt, as final, those parts of this rule on which no
adverse comment was received. We will withdraw the part of this rule
that was the subject of an adverse comment. If we decide to proceed
with a rulemaking following receipt of an adverse comment, we will
publish a separate notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) and provide a
new opportunity for comment.
    A comment is considered ``adverse'' if the comment explains why
this rule or a part of this rule would be inappropriate, including a
challenge to its underlying premise or approach, or would be
ineffective or unacceptable without a change.

Basis and Purpose

    The Coast Guard is amending and updating the special local
regulations and safety zones under 33 CFR parts 100 and 165 to
incorporate the numerous annual marine events held on or around
navigable waters within the Eighth Coast Guard District. These events
include marine parades, boat races, swim events, fireworks displays,
and other marine related events. In the past, a special local
regulation or safety zone for each individual event was established
separately. Currently, there is a list of events located at 33 CFR part
100, establishing a special local regulation for each annually
recurring marine event. That list requires amending and updating to
include 136 new events expected to recur annually (and for which
temporary rules have typically been enacted each year), remove 44
events that no longer occur, and to properly categorize 83 events
requiring either a special local regulation or a safety zone. Issuing
individual regulations for each new event, event requiring amendment,
or removing or re-categorizing an event creates unnecessary
administrative costs and burdens. This rule considerably reduces the
administrative overhead and provides the public with notice through
publication in the Federal Register of the upcoming recurring marine
events and their accompanying special local regulations and safety
zones.
    Amending and updating the established permanent regulations for
marine events eliminates the need to issue individual temporary rules
for each recurring event. The Coast Guard encourages the public to
participate in this rulemaking so that any changes necessary can be
identified and implemented in a timely and efficient manner.

Discussion of Rule

    33 CFR part 100 contains regulations to provide effective control
over regattas and marine parades conducted on U.S. navigable waters to
ensure safety of life in the regattas or marine parade area. Section
100.801 regulates events that take place in the Eighth Coast Guard
District. This section requires amendment and update to properly
reflect the annually recurring marine events requiring special local
regulations in the Eighth Coast Guard District. The events listed in
Table 1 of Section 100.801 are amended and updated to reflect current
events as presented in this rule.
    This rule also modifies 33 CFR part 165 which provides for the
establishment of safety zones to ensure marine safety during fireworks
displays, air shows and other marine events recurring annually and
requiring a safety zone. A new table listing the annually recurring
safety zones in the Eighth Coast Guard District is added to 33 CFR 165.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.

Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that Executive Order 12866
or under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management
and Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders.
    The Coast Guard expects the economic impact of this rule to be so
minimal that a full regulatory evaluation is unnecessary. The marine
parades, regattas, fireworks displays, and other events listed in this
rule will restrict

vessel traffic transiting certain areas of Eighth Coast Guard District
waters at specified times; however the effect of this regulation will
not be significant because these events are short in duration and the
special local regulation or safety zone restricting and governing
vessel movements are also short in duration. Additionally, the public
is given advance notification through the Federal Register and/or
Notices of Enforcement and thus will be able to plan operations around
the events in advance.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this 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.
    This rule may affect the following entities, some of which might be
small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to transit
the regulated area during the marine parades, regattas, fireworks
displays, and other events. The special local regulations and safety
zones will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities for the following reasons. These regulations
will be in effect for short periods of times. Before the effective
period, the Coast Guard Captain of the Port will issue maritime
advisories widely available to waterway users.
    Therefore, the Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that
this final rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we offer to assist small
entities in understanding the rule so that they can better evaluate its
effects on them and participate in the rulemaking process. Small
businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal employees who
enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal regulations to
the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman and
the Regional Small Business Regulatory Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman
evaluates these actions annually and rates each agency's responsiveness
to small businesses. If you wish to comment on actions by employees of
the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR (1-888-734-3247).
    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 rule calls 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 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 rule will not result in such an expenditure, we
do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble.

Taking of Private Property

    This rule will 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 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 rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does 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 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 rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 0023.1 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
that this action is one of a category of actions which do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This rule is categorically excluded under section 2.B.2,
figure 2-1, paragraphs (34)(g) and (34)(h) of the

Instruction because it involves establishment of safety zones and
special local regulations for marine parades, regattas, fireworks
displays, and other events. An Environmental analysis and a categorical
exclusion determination are available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES.
