33 CFR Part 100

[Docket Number USCG-2021-0873]
RIN 1625-AA08

Special Local Regulations; Sector Ohio Valley Annual and
Recurring Special Local Regulations, Update

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is amending and updating its special local
regulations for recurring marine parades, regattas, and other events
that take place in the Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley area of
responsibility (AOR). This rule informs the public of regularly
scheduled events that require additional safety measures through the
establishing of a special local regulation. Through this rulemaking the
current list of recurring special local regulations is updated with
revisions, additional events, and removal of events that no longer take
place in Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. When these special local regulations
are enforced, certain restrictions are placed on marine traffic in
specified areas.

DATES: This rule is effective February 3, 2022.

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley (COTP) is establishing,

amending, and updating its current list of recurring special local
regulations codified under 33 CFR 100.801 in Table no. 1, for the COTP
Ohio Valley zone.
    On December 8th, 2021, the Coast Guard published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) titled Sector Ohio Valley Annual and
Recurring Special Local Regulations Update (86 FR 69602). There we
stated why we issued the NPRM, and invited comments on our proposed
regulatory action related to those recurring regulated areas. During
the comment period that ended January 7th, 2022, no comments were
received.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The Coast Guard is amending and
updating the special local regulations under 33 CFR part 100 to include
the most up to date list of recurring special local regulations for
events held on or around navigable waters within the Sector Ohio Valley
AOR. These events include marine parades, boat races, swim events, and
others. The current list under 33 CFR 100.801 requires amending to
provide new information on existing special local regulations, include
new special local regulations expected to recur annually or biannually,
and to remove special local regulations that are no longer required.
Issuing individual regulations for each new special local regulation,
amendment, or removal of an existing special local regulation creates
unnecessary administrative costs and burdens. This rulemaking reduces
administrative overhead and provides the public with notice through
publication in the Federal Register of the upcoming recurring special
local regulations.

IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule

    As noted above, we received no comments on our NPRM published
December 8th, 2021. There is one change in the regulatory text of this
rule from the proposed rule in the NPRM. The event Thunder Over
Louisville will occur the 4th weekend of April this year. The text now
reads in the table: 2 days--Third or fourth Friday and Saturday in
April.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this 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 rule has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, this
rule has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB).
    The Coast Guard expects the economic impact of this rule to be
minimal, and therefore a full regulatory evaluation is unnecessary.
This rule establishes special local regulations limiting access to
certain areas under 33 CFR 100 within Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. The
effect of this rulemaking will not be significant because these special
local regulations are limited in scope and duration. Deviation from the
special local regulations established through this rulemaking may be
requested from the appropriate COTP and requests will be considered on
a case-by-case basis. Broadcast Notices to Mariners and Local Notices
to Mariners will inform the community of these special local
regulations so that they may plan accordingly for these short
restrictions on transit. Vessel traffic may request permission from the
COTP Ohio Valley 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 received no comments from the Small Business
Administration on this rulemaking. 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.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator.
    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 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
call or email the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
    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.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will 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 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 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.

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 rule will not result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the
effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this 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 determined 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 rule involves the
establishment of special local regulations related to marine event
permits for marine parades, regattas, and other marine events. It is
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L(61) of
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1.

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.
