33 CFR Part 100

[Docket No. USCG-2011-0106]
RIN 1625-AA08

Special Local Regulations; Recurring Marine Events in the Fifth
Coast Guard District

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to revise the list of special local
regulations established for recurring marine events at various
locations within the Fifth Coast Guard District. This proposed rule
would add 6 new annual recurring marine events, change event date(s)
for 12 previously established events, and delete 4 previously listed
marine events. Special local regulations are being proposed to provide
for the safety of life on navigable waters during these events, reduce
the Coast Guard's administrative workload and expedite public
notification of events. Entry into or movement within these proposed
regulated areas during the enforcement periods is prohibited without
approval of the appropriate Captain of the Port.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before November 14, 2011.

Basis and Purpose

    The Coast Guard proposes to revise the list of permanent special
local regulations at 33 CFR 100.501, established for recurring marine
events at various locations within the geographic boundary of the Fifth
Coast Guard District. The Fifth Coast Guard District is comprised of
the land areas and U.S. navigable waters adjacent to North Carolina,
Virginia, District of Columbia, Maryland, Delaware and portions of
Pennsylvania and New Jersey. For a detailed description of the
geographical area of the district and each Coast Guard Sector--Captain
of the Port Zone, please see 33 CFR 3.25.
    The Coast Guard proposes to revise the list of special local
regulations at 33 CFR 100.501 by adding 6 new annual recurring events,
revising 12 previously established locations and deleting 4 previously
listed marine events and corresponding regulated areas that are no
longer occurring. The special local regulated areas removed from this
section include: Night in Venice, Ocean City, NJ; Baltimore County
Community Waterfront Festival, Martin Lagoon, MD; Annapolis Triathlon
Swim, Spa Creek, Severn River, MD; and Virginia state hydroplane
championships, Western Branch, Elizabeth River, VA. Currently there are
57 special local regulations that are established and enforced at
various periods throughout the year that are held on an annual basis.
This rule will increase the total number of special local regulations
to 59. The table to 33 CFR 100.501 would be renumbered with section
divisions that would facilitate future changes.
    The Coast Guard proposes to revise regulations at 33 CFR 100.501 by
adding 6 new marine event locations to the permanent special local
regulations listed in this section. The new special local regulations
are listed in the following table, including reference by section as
printed in the Table to Sec.  100.501.

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

    This regulation currently includes events such as sailing regattas,
power boat races, swim races, holiday parades, crew and other paddle
craft races. Currently, there are 57 annual recurring marine events and
many other non-recurring events within the Fifth Coast Guard 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.
    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 completed only days before the event. This results in
delayed notification to the public, potentially placing the public and
event participants at risk.
    This proposed rule would significantly relieve the administrative
burden on the Coast Guard, and at the same time allow the sponsor of
the event and the Coast Guard to notify the public of these events in a
timely manner. The public would be provided with notice of events
through the table attached to this regulation. This table lists each
recurring marine event that may be regulated by the Coast Guard, and
indicates the sponsor, as well as the date(s) and location of the
event. Because the dates and locations 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 would 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.
    Based on the nature of marine events, large number of participants
and spectators, and the event locations, the Coast Guard has determined
that the events listed in this rule could pose a risk to participants
or waterway users if normal vessel traffic were to interfere with the
event. Possible hazards include risks of participant injury or death
resulting from near or actual contact with non-participant vessels
traversing through the regulated areas. In order to protect the safety
of all waterway users including event participants and spectators, this
proposed rule would establish special local regulations for the time
and location of each marine event.
    This proposed rule prevents vessels from entering, transiting,
mooring or anchoring within areas specifically designated as regulated
areas during the periods of enforcement unless authorized by the
Captain of the Port, or designated Coast Guard Patrol Commander. The
designated ``Patrol Commander'' includes Coast Guard commissioned,
warrant, or petty officer who has been designated by the Captain of the
Port to act on their behalf. On-scene patrol commander may be augmented
by local, State or Federal officials authorized to act in support of
the Coast Guard.

Discussion of Proposed Rule

    This proposed rule would apply to each event listed in the attached
table to this rule. Events listed in the table are events that recur
annually in the Fifth Coast Guard District. The table provides the
event name and sponsor, as well as an approximate date and location of
the event.
    For each event listed in the table, an event patrol, with a Patrol
Commander in charge, may be assigned. The Patrol Commander may control
the movement of all vessels in the regulated area(s). When hailed or
signaled by a patrol vessel, a vessel in these areas would be required
to immediately comply with the directions given. Failure to do so may
result in expulsion from the area, citation for failure to comply, or
both. The Coast Guard Patrol Commander may terminate the event, or the
operation of any vessel participating in the event, at any time it is
deemed necessary for the protection of life or property.
    Only event sponsors, designated participants, and official patrol
vessels would be allowed to enter a regulated area. All persons and
vessels not registered with the event sponsor as participants or
official patrol vessels are considered spectators. Spectators may not
enter the regulated area and may be confined to a designated spectator
area to view the event. Spectators may contact the Coast Guard Patrol
Commander to request permission to pass through the regulated area. If
permission is granted, spectators would be required to pass directly
through the regulated area at safe speed and without loitering.
    The numbering sequence for marine events listed in the table to
Sec.  100.501 has been revised. Within the table, each subparagraph
will be numbered in numerical sequence for each Coast Guard Sector in
the Fifth District. This administrative change will facilitate future
updates by eliminating the need to republish the entire table when
events are added, deleted or modified.

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 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 that those Orders.
    We expect the economic impact of this proposed rule to be so
minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary. The effect of
this proposed 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 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: The owners or
operators of vessels intending to transit or anchor in the areas where
marine events are being held. This proposed regulation will not have a
significant impact on a substantial number of small entities because it
will only be enforced on 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.
    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 is one of a category
of actions which do not individually or cumulatively have a significant
effect on the human environment. This rule involves implementation of
regulations within 33 CFR Part 100 that apply to organized marine
events on the navigable waters of the United States that may have
potential for negative impact on the safety or other interest of
waterway users and shore side activities in the event area. The
category of water activities includes but is not limited to sail boat
regattas, boat parades, power boat racing, swimming events, crew
racing, and sail board racing. We seek any comments or information that
may lead to the discovery of a significant environmental impact from
this proposed rule.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 100

    Marine safety, Navigation (water), Reporting and recordkeeping
requirements, Waterways.
    For the reasons discussed in the preamble, the Coast Guard proposes
to amend 33 CFR part 100 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 section 100.501 to read as follows:

Sec.  100.501  Special Local Regulations; Marine Events in the Fifth
Coast Guard District.

    The following regulations apply to the marine events listed in the
Table to Sec.  100.501. These regulations will be effective annually,
for the duration of each event listed in the Table to Sec.  100.501.
Annual notice of the exact dates and times of the effective period of
the regulation with respect to each event, the geographical area, and
details concerning the nature of the event and the number of
participants and type(s) of vessels involved will be published in Local
Notices to Mariners and via Broadcast Notice to Mariners over VHF-FM
marine band radio.
    (a) Definitions. The following definitions apply to this section:
(1) Coast Guard Patrol Commander. A Patrol Commander is a commissioned,
warrant, or petty officer of the Coast Guard who has been designated by
the respective Coast Guard Sector--Captain of the Port to enforce these
regulations.
    (2) Official Patrol means any vessel assigned or approved by the
respective Captain of the Port with a commissioned, warrant, or petty
officer on board and displaying a Coast Guard ensign.
    (3) Spectators. All persons and vessels not registered with the
event sponsor as participants or official patrol vessels.
    (b) Official Patrol. The Coast Guard may assign an official patrol,
as described in Sec.  100.40 of this part, to each regulated event
listed in the table. Additionally, a Patrol Commander may be assigned
to oversee the patrol. The official patrol and Patrol Commander may be
contacted on VHF-FM Channel 16.
    (c) Special Local Regulations. (1) The Coast Guard Patrol Commander
may direct the movement of all vessels in the regulated area(s). When
hailed or signaled by an official patrol vessel, a vessel in these
areas shall immediately comply with the directions given. Failure to do
so may result in expulsion from the area, citation for failure to
comply, or both.
    (2) The Coast Guard Patrol Commander may terminate the event, or
the operation of any vessel participating in the event, at any time for
the protection of life or property.
    (3) Only event sponsor-designated participants and official patrol
vessels are allowed to enter the regulated area.
    (4) Spectators are only allowed inside the designated spectator
area. Spectators may contact the Coast Guard Patrol Commander to
request permission to pass through the regulated area. If permission is
granted, spectators must pass directly through the regulated area at
