SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    On March 10, 2008, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled Special Local Regulations; Recurring Marine Events in
the Fifth Coast Guard District in the Federal Register (73 FR 12669).
We received no letters commenting on the proposed rule. No public
meeting was requested, and none was held.

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 includes events such as sailing regattas, power
boat races, swim races and holiday parades. Currently, there are 57
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 increase 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 rule significantly reduces the administrative burden on the
Coast Guard, and at the same time allows the sponsor of the event and
the Coast Guard to notify the public of these events in a timely
manner. The public will 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 location 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 will 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. The public will also
be notified about many of the listed marine events by local newspapers,
radio and television stations. The various methods of notification
provided by the Coast Guard and local community media outlets will
facilitate informing mariners so they can adjust their plans
accordingly.

Discussion of Comments and Changes

    The Coast Guard has made some minor technical revisions to this
rule. Revisions to the regulatory text include the following items.
    In the Table to Sec.  100.501, marine event No. 3 was deleted. In
its place ``Night in Venice'' Great Egg Harbor Bay, Ocean City, New
Jersey was added as marine event No. 3. This event was previously
regulated by 33 CFR 100.504 for the same location. This revision does
not impose any additional restrictions on vessel traffic.

    In the Table to Sec.  100.501, the location description for marine
event No's 31, 32, 35 and 49 were revised. All four marine events take
place in the same location in the Western Branch of the Elizabeth
River, Portsmouth, Virginia. The location was revised to reduce the
overall size of the regulated area. This revision does not impose any
additional restrictions on vessel traffic.

Regulatory Evaluation

    This 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 rule to be so minimal that a
full Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary. The effect of this 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 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 rule will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities. This 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 regulation will not have a significant impact on a substantial
number of small entities because it will be enforced only during 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.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), in the NPRM we offered to
assist small entities in understanding the rule so that they could
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 business. 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 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 concluded that there are no factors in this case that would limit
the use of a categorical exclusion under section 2.B.2 of the
Instruction. Therefore, this rule is categorically excluded, under
figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(h), of the Instruction, from further
environmental documentation. This rule fits the category of paragraph
34(h) because it creates special local regulations for regattas and
marine parades.
    Under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(h), of the Instruction, an
``Environmental Analysis Check List'' and a ``Categorical Exclusion
Determination'' are not required for this rule.
