[Docket No. USCG-2011-1023]
RIN 1625-AA08; 1625-AA00

Special Local Regulations and Safety Zones; Recurring Events in
Northern New England

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to update recurring special local
regulations and safety zones in the Coast Guard Captain of the Port
(COTP) Northern New England Zone for annual recurring marine events.
When these special local regulations or safety zones are subject to
enforcement, this rule would restrict vessels from portions of water
areas during these annual recurring events. The revised special local
regulations and safety zones would expedite public notification of
events, and ensure the protection of the maritime public and event
participants from the hazards associated with these annual recurring
events.

Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for the proposed rule is 33 U.S.C. 1226, 1231,
1233; 46 U.S.C. chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191, 195; 33 CFR
1.05-1, and 160.5; Public Law 107-295, 116 Stat. 2064; and Department
of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1, which collectively
authorize the Coast Guard to define regulatory safety zones and special
local regulations.
    Swim events, fireworks displays, and marine events are held on an
annual recurring basis on the navigable waters within the Coast Guard
COTP Northern New England Zone. In the past, the Coast Guard has
established special local regulations, regulated areas and safety zones
for these annual recurring events on a case by case basis to ensure the
protection of the maritime public and event participants from the
hazards associated with these events. The Coast Guard has not received
public comments or concerns regarding the impact to waterway traffic
from these annually recurring events.
    This proposed rule will consistently apprise the public in a timely
manner through permanent publication in Title 33 of the Code of Federal
Regulations. The TABLES in this proposed regulation list each annual
recurring event requiring a regulated area as administered by the Coast
Guard.
    By establishing permanent regulations containing these events, the
Coast Guard would eliminate the need to establish temporary rules for
events that occur on an annual basis and thereby limit the costs
associated with cumulative regulations.
    This rulemaking will remove, add, and consolidate regulations to
better meet the Coast Guard's intended purpose of ensuring safety
during these events.

Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The Coast Guard proposes to amend 33 CFR 100.120 (Special Local
Regulations) and 33 CFR 165.171 (Safety Zones).
    The proposed rule would apply to the annual recurring events listed
in the attached TABLES in the Coast Guard COTP Northern New England
Zone. The TABLES provide the event name, sponsor, and type, as well as
approximate dates and locations of the events. The specific times,
dates, regulated areas, and enforcement period for each event will be
provided through the Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast Notice to
Mariners or through a Notice of Enforcement published in the Federal
Register.
    The particular size of the safety zones established for each event
will be reevaluated on an annual basis in accordance with Navigational
and Vessel Inspection Circular (NVIC) 07-02, Marine Safety at Firework
Displays, the National Fire Protection Association Standard 1123, Code
for Fireworks Displays (100-foot distance per inch of diameter of the
fireworks mortars), and other pertinent regulations and publications.

    This proposed regulation would prevent vessels from transiting
areas specifically designated as special local regulations or safety
zones during the periods of enforcement to ensure the protection of the
maritime public and event participants from the hazards associated with
the listed annual recurring events. Only event sponsors, designated
participants, and official patrol vessels will be allowed to enter
regulated areas. Spectators and other vessels not registered as event
participants may not enter the regulated areas without the permission
of the COTP or the designated representative.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed 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 Evaluation

    This proposed 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, 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 proposed rule to be minimal.
Although this regulation may have some impact on the public, the
potential impact will be minimized for the following reasons: The Coast
Guard has previously promulgated safety zones or special local
regulations in accordance with 33 CFR Parts 100 and 165 for
approximately 85% of the event areas contained within this proposed
regulation and has not received notice of any negative impact caused by
any of the safety zones or special local regulations. By establishing a
permanent regulation containing all of these events, the Coast Guard
will eliminate the need to establish individual temporary rules for
each separate event that occurs on an annual basis, thereby limiting
the cost of cumulative regulations.
    Vessels will only be restricted from safety zones and special local
regulation areas for a short duration of time. Vessels may transit in
portions of the affected waterway except for those areas covered by the
proposed regulated areas. Notifications will also be made to the local
maritime community through the Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast
Notice to Mariners well in advance of the events. If the event does not
have a date listed, then the exact dates and times of the enforcement
period will be announced through a Notice of Enforcement in the Federal
Register. No new or additional restrictions will be imposed on vessel
traffic.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this proposed 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 proposed
rule would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. This proposed rule would affect the following
entities, some of which might be small entities: owners or operators of
vessels intending to transit, fish, or anchor in the areas where the
listed annual recurring events are being held.
    The proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: vessels
will only be restricted from safety zones and special local regulation
areas for a short duration of time; vessels may transit in portions of
the affected waterway except for those areas covered by the proposed
regulated areas; the Coast Guard has promulgated safety zones or
special local regulations in accordance with 33 CFR Parts 100 and 165
for approximately 85% of the event areas in the past and has not
received notice of any negative impact caused by any of the safety
zones or special local regulations; and notifications will be made to
the local maritime community through the Local Notice to Mariners and
Broadcast Notice to Mariners well in advance of the events. If the
event does not have a date listed, then exact dates and times of the
enforcement period will be announced through a Notice of Enforcement in
the Federal Register. No new or additional restrictions would be
imposed on vessel traffic.
    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.

Assistance for Small Entities

    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 so that they can better
evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. 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 under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 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.

Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would call 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 proposed 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 (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.

Taking of Private Property

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

Indian Tribal Governments

    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.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this proposed 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 proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

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 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and
have made a preliminary determination that this action appears to be
one of a category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively
have a significant effect on the human environment.
    A preliminary environmental analysis checklist supporting this
determination will be available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES. This proposed rule involves water activities including
swimming events and fireworks displays. This rule appears to be
categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(g) [Safety
Zones] and (34)(h) [Special Local Regulations] of the Instruction.
    We seek any comments or information that may lead to the discovery
of a significant environmental impact from this proposed rule.

List of Subjects

33 CFR Part 100

    Marine safety, Navigation (water), Reporting and record-keeping
requirements, Waterways.

33 CFR Part 165

    Harbors, Marine Safety, Navigation (water), Reporting and
recordkeeping requirements, Security measures, and Waterways.

    For the reasons discussed in the preamble, the Coast Guard proposes
to amend 33 CFR parts 100 and 165 as follows:

PART 100--SAFETY OF LIFE ON NAVIGABLE WATERS

    1. The authority citation for Part 100 continues to read as
follows:

    Authority:  33 U.S.C. 1233.
    2. Revise Sec.  100.120 as follows:

Sec.  100.120  Special local regulations; marine events held in the
Coast Guard Sector Northern New England Captain of the Port Zone.

    This section applies to the marine events listed in its table
(Table to Sec.  100.120). This section will be enforced for the
duration of each event, on the dates indicated. Mariners should consult
their Local Notice to Mariners to remain apprised of the specific
calendar date upon which the listed event falls for each calendar year
and other specific information concerning the event. First Coast Guard
District Local Notice to Mariners can be found at: http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/. The Sector Northern New England Marine Events
schedule can also be viewed electronically at www.homeport.uscg.mil.
Although listed in the Code of Federal Regulations, sponsors of events
listed in the Table to Sec.  100.120 are still required to submit
marine event applications in accordance with 33 CFR 100.15.
    (a) The Coast Guard may patrol each event area under the direction
of a designated Coast Guard Patrol Commander. The Patrol Commander may
be contacted on Channel 16 VHF-FM (156.8 MHz) by the call sign
``PATCOM.'' Official patrol vessels may consist of any Coast Guard,
Coast Guard Auxiliary, State, or local law enforcement vessels assigned
or approved by the Captain of the Port, Sector Northern New England.
    (b) Vessels may not transit the regulated areas without the Patrol
Commander's approval. Vessels permitted to transit must operate at a no
wake speed and in a manner which will not endanger participants or
other crafts in the event.
    (c) Spectators or other vessels shall not anchor, block, loiter, or
impede the transit of event participants or official patrol vessels in
the regulated areas during the effective dates and times, unless
authorized by an official patrol vessel.
    (d) The Patrol Commander may control the movement of all vessels in
the regulated area. When hailed or signaled by an official patrol
vessel, a vessel shall come to an immediate stop and comply with the
lawful directions issued. Failure to comply with a lawful direction may
result in expulsion from the area, citation for failure to comply, or
both.
    (e) The Patrol Commander may delay or terminate any marine event in
this subpart at any time it is deemed necessary to ensure the safety of
life or property.
    (f) For all power boat races listed, vessels operating within the
regulated area must be at anchor within a designated spectator area or
moored to a waterfront facility in a way that will not interfere with
the progress of the event.
    (g) For all regattas and boat parades listed, spectator vessels
operating within the regulated area shall maintain a separation of at
least 50 yards from the participants.
    (h) For all rowing and paddling boat races listed, vessels not
associated with

the event shall maintain a separation of at least 50 yards from the
participants.

of a designated Coast Guard Patrol Commander. The Patrol Commander may
be contacted on Channel 16 VHF-FM (156.8 MHz) by the call sign
``PATCOM.'' The ``official patrol vessels'' may consist of any Coast
Guard, Coast Guard Auxiliary, State, or local law enforcement vessels
assigned or approved by the Captain of the Port, Sector Northern New
England.
    (b) Vessels may not transit the regulated areas without Patrol
Commander approval. Vessels permitted to transit must operate at a no
wake speed, in a manner which will not endanger participants or other
crafts in the event.
    (c) Spectators or other vessels shall not anchor, block, loiter, or
impede the movement of event participants or official patrol vessels in
the regulated areas during the effective dates and times, or dates and
times as modified through the Local Notice to Mariners, unless
authorized by an official patrol vessel.
    (d) The Patrol Commander may control the movement of all vessels in
the regulated area. When hailed or signaled by an official patrol
vessel, a vessel shall come to an immediate stop and comply with the
lawful directions issued. Failure to comply with a lawful direction may
result in expulsion from the area, citation for failure to comply, or
both.
    (e) The Patrol Commander may delay or terminate any event in this
subpart at any time to assure safety. Such action may be justified as a
result of weather, traffic density, spectator operation or participant
behavior.
    (f) For all swim events listed, vessels not associated with the
event shall maintain a separation zone of 200 feet from participating
swimmers.
    (g) For all fireworks displays listed below, the regulated area is
that area of navigable waters within a 350 yard radius of the launch
platform or launch site for each fireworks display.
