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

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is revising the list of special local
regulations established for recurring marine events at various
locations within the geographic boundary of the Fifth Coast Guard
District. This rule revises 33 CFR 100.501 by adding 6 new annual
recurring marine events and modifying event date(s) for 12 previously
established locations within the geographic boundary of the Fifth Coast
Guard District. This rule also deletes 4 previously listed marine
events and corresponding regulated areas that no longer occur. These
regulations will apply to all events listed in the table attached to
the regulation, and include events such as regattas, power boat races
and marine parades. Special local regulations are established 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: This rule is effective February 21, 2012.

ADDRESSES: Comments and material received from the public, as well as
documents mentioned in this preamble as being available in the docket,
are part of docket USCG-2011-0106 and are available online by going to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    On October 12, 2011, 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 (76 FR 63239).
We received no comments on the proposed rule.

Basis and Purpose

    The Coast Guard is revising 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 is revising the list of special local regulations
at 33 CFR 100.501, established for various marine events, by adding 6
new annual recurring events and modifying 12 previously established
locations within the geographic boundary of the Fifth Coast Guard
District. This rule also deletes 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 locations for marine
events within the boundary of the Fifth Coast Guard District. The table
to 33 CFR 100.501 is renumbered within each section to facilitate
future changes.
    The Coast Guard is revising 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 rule will 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
rule would establish special local regulations for the time and
location of each marine event.
    This 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 Comments and Changes

    The Coast Guard did not receive comments in response to the notice
of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published in the Federal Register.
Accordingly, the Coast Guard is revising the special local regulations
as outlined in this rulemaking and listed in the table to Sec.
100.501.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this 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 those Orders.
    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 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.

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 (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.

Taking of Private Property

    This rule will 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 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 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 concluded
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 is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(h.),
of the Instruction. 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. Under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(h.), of the Instruction,
an environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are not required for this 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 amends
33 CFR part 100 as follows:
