33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2017-0011]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zones; Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley Annual and Recurring
Safety Zones Update

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to amend and update its list of
recurring safety zone regulations that take place in the Coast Guard
Sector Ohio Valley area. This informs the public of regularly scheduled
events that require additional safety measures through establishing a
safety zone. Through this the current list of recurring safety zones is
proposed to be updated with revisions, additional events, and removal
of events that no longer take place. When these safety zones are
enforced, vessel traffic is restricted from the specified areas.
Additionally, this proposed rulemaking project reduces administrative
costs involved in producing separate proposed rules for each individual
recurring safety zone and serves to provide notice of the known
recurring safety zones throughout the year. We invite your comments on
this proposed rulemaking.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before May 1, 2017.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2017-0011 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further
instructions on submitting comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this proposed
rule, call or email Petty Officer James Robinson, Sector Ohio Valley,

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    The Captain of the Port Ohio Valley (COTP) proposes to amend 33 CFR
165.801 to update our regulations for annual fireworks displays and
other events in the Eighth Coast Guard District requiring safety zones
with respect to those in Sector Ohio Valley
    The current list of annual and recurring safety zones occurring in
Sector Ohio Valley's is published under 33 CFR 165.801 in Table no. 1
for annual safety zones in the COTP Ohio Valley zone. The most recent
list was created June 14, 2016 through the rulemaking 81 FR 38595.
    The Coast Guard proposed to amend and update the safety zone
regulations under 33 CFR part 165 to include the most up to date list
of recurring safety zones for events held on or around navigable waters
within Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. These events include air shows,
fireworks displays, and other marine related events requiring a limited
access area restricting vessel traffic for safety purposes. The current
list in 33 CFR 165.801 needs to be amended to provide new information
on existing safety zones, and to include new safety zones expected to
recur annually or biannually, and to remove safety zones that are no
longer required. Issuing individual regulations for each new safety
zone, amendment, or removal of an existing safety zone creates
unnecessary administrative costs and burdens. This single proposed
rulemaking will considerably reduce administrative overhead and provide
the public with notice through publication in the Federal Register of
the upcoming recurring safety zone regulations.
    The Coast Guard encourages the public to participate in this
proposed rulemaking through the comment process so that any necessary
changes can be identified and implemented in a timely and efficient
manner. The Coast Guard will address all public comments accordingly,
whether through response, additional revision to the regulation, or
otherwise. Additionally, these recurring events are provided to the
public through local avenues and planned by the local communities.

III. Discussion of the Proposed Rule

    Part 165 of 33 CFR contains regulations establishing limited access
areas to restrict vessel traffic for the safety of persons and
property. Section 165.801 establishes recurring safety zones to
restrict vessel transit into and through specified areas to protect
spectators, mariners, and other persons and property from potential
hazards presented during certain events taking place in Sector Ohio
Valley's AOR. This section requires amendment from time to time to
properly reflect the recurring safety zone regulations in Sector Ohio
Valley's AOR. This proposed rule amends and updates Sec.  165.801 by
revising the current table for Sector Ohio Valley.
    Additionally, this proposed rule adds 5 new recurring safety zones
and removes 1 safety zone as follows:
    Five added under the revised table for Sector Ohio Valley.

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

    This proposed rule removes the following safety zone regulation
from Sec.  165.801:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                Date                     Event/sponsor          Ohio Valley  location          Regulated area

                                      Fireworks Show.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The effect of this proposed rule would be to restrict general
navigation in the safety zone during the events. Vessels intending to
transit the designated waterway through the safety zone will only be
allowed to transit the area when COTP, or a designated representative,
has deemed it safe to do so or at the completion of the event. The
proposed annually recurring safety zones are necessary to provide for
the safety of life on navigable waters during the events.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders (E.O.s) related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on a number of these statutes and E.O.s, and we discuss
First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Regulatory Costs'' (February 2, 2017). A regulatory analysis (RA)
follows. E.O.s 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.
E.O. 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs

and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. This rule has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under E.O. 12866. Accordingly, it has not been
reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget.
    The Coast Guard expects the economic impact of this proposed rule
to be minimal, therefore a full regulatory evaluation is unnecessary.
This proposed rule establishes safety zones limiting access to certain
areas under 33 CFR 165 within Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. The effect of
this proposed rulemaking will not be significant because these safety
zones are limited in scope and duration. Additionally, the public is
given advance notification through local forms of notice, the Federal
Register, and/or Notices of Enforcement and, thus, will be able to plan
operations around the safety zones in advance Broadcast Notices to
Mariners and Local Notices to Mariners will also inform the community
of these safety zones. Vessel traffic may request permission from the
COTP or a designated representative to enter the restricted area.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 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 certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this
proposed 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
IV.A above this proposed rule would 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
proposed rule. If the proposed 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 in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. 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.

C. Collection of Information

    This proposed 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 E.O. 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 E.O. 13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under E.O. 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. If you believe this rule has
implications for federalism or Indian tribes, please contact the person
listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section above.

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 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 that do not individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human environment. This proposed rule is
categorically excluded under section 2.B.2, figure 2-1, paragraph 34(g)
of the Instruction because it involves the establishment of safety
zones. We seek any comments or information that may lead to the
discovery of a significant environmental impact from this proposed
rule.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact 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.
