33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2020-0037]
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 of responsibility (AOR). 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 March 16, 2020.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2020-0037 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.

rule, call or email Petty Officer Riley Jackson, Sector Ohio Valley,

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    The Captain of the Port, Sector Ohio Valley (COTP) proposes to
amend 33 CFR 165.801 to update 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 area of responsibility (AOR) 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 May 3, 2019 through the
rulemaking 84 FR 18975.
    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 10 new recurring safety
zones, removes 01 recurring events and amends the date, regulated area,
and/or name for 20 recurring safety zones already listed in Sec.
165.801 as follows:
    This proposed rule would add the following 10 safety zones to the
existing Table 1 of Sec.  165.801 as follows:

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

    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 proposed 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. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This NPRM has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, the NPRM has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    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. Also, advance Broadcast Notices to
Mariners and Local Notices to Mariners will 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, 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 would 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.
    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.
    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 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 proposed 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 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. If
you believe this proposed rule has implications for federalism or
Indian tribes, please call or email the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.

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 proposed rule would 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 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 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. Normally such actions are
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L60(a) of
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 01. A
preliminary Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this
determination is available in the docket. For instructions on locating
the docket, see the ADDRESSES section of this preamble. 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 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.

V. Public Participation and Request for Comments

    We view public participation as essential to effective rulemaking,
and will consider all comments and material received during the comment
period. Your comment can help shape the outcome of this rulemaking. If
you submit a comment, please include the docket number for this
rulemaking, indicate the specific section of this document to which
each comment applies, and provide a reason for each suggestion or
recommendation.
    We encourage you to submit comments through the Federal eRulemaking
Portal at https://www.regulations.gov. If your material cannot be
submitted using https://www.regulations.gov, call or email the person
in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this document for
alternate instructions.

without change to https://www.regulations.gov and will include any
personal information you have provided. For more about privacy and
submissions in response to this document, see DHS's Correspondence
System of Records notice (84 FR 48645, September 26, 2018).

Formulation;
·
locations where tracer applied (coordinates);
·
method of application;
·
rate of application and
·
total amount applied.
7.43  Crop information
The following crop information is requested (include this for the entire course of the study, not
just the year in which the pesticide is applied).
·
Type of crop;
·
planting dates;
·
emergence dates;
·
harvest date;
·
date when chemicals applied (pesticide, herbicide, fertilizer, etc.) and
·
other relevant crop maintenance activities and crop growth / land cover information.
7.44  Soil properties
All data need to be separately reported for each depth increment of each soil core analyzed.
Some soil characteristic data may have been collected as part of the site characterization testing
of the study area.  If so, there is no need to repeat that information here.  Pesticide property data
essential for modeling of leaching of the test pesticide (K
OC
and other measures of soil sorption
and measures of soil degradation rate) for the specific test soil should be provided (along with
background data relevant to the determination of these properties) if specifically collected in
association with the prospective ground-water monitoring data in electronic format.  In cases
where pesticide property data are not specifically collected for the test soil, the extrapolated
property data should be submitted along with the methodology for their calculation and citations
for the studies these property data are derived from.
·
Soil core location (coordinates);
·
Minimum depth of the soil sample;
·
Maximum depth of the soil sample;
·
textural properties;
·
sand/silt/clay fractions (%);
·
CEC, or AEC;
·
Mineralogy;

79
·
bulk density (undisturbed);
·
K
OC
of the pesticide in the test soil or extrapolated from data for other soils;
·
K of the pesticide in the test soil or extrapolated from data for other soils;
d
·

5 bar soil water content;
·
wilting point (15 bar);
·
saturated hydraulic conductivity;
·
soil water content;
·
matric potential;
·
Munsell color and
·
pH.
7.45  Ground-water data
Some of these data may have been collected as part of the site characterization of the study area.
If so, there is no need to repeat that information here.
·
Well location (coordinates);
·
total depth of well;
·
depth to water table;
·
screened interval;
·
background water chemistry;
·
hydraulic head;
·
flow;
·
subsurface geology,;
·
cross sections (descriptions, fence diagrams) and
·
location (in 3-dimensions) of known aquitards.
7.46  Weather data
The following site-specific weather data collected during the PGW study is requested from a
weather station located close to the test plot in an open, exposed area without trees;
·
location of monitoring station (coordinates);
·
rainfall, daily time step or shorter;
·
pan evaporation;
·
air temperature and
·
soil temperature (including depth measured at).

80
In addition, site-specific historical weather data for the previous 20-years (or as recent a 20+ year
period that is available) should be provided or referenced for analyses purposes.
7.47  Irrigation input
The following site-specific irrigation information is requested;
·
irrigation method;
·
irrigation application date (days after treatment (DAT));
·
rate and
·
total amount applied.
7.48  Chemical monitoring results
The following chemical monitoring data for soil and ground water is requested.  All headings
should be clearly labeled and explanations provided in an accompanying text file for clarity.  See
attached template for example.  All analyses above the minimum detection limit should be
reported as the nominal concentration.  If the nominal concentration of a sample is below a
Minimum Reporting Limit or Minimum Quantification Limit is applicable (whether calculated as
a uniform limit or on a sample-by-sample basis) this information should be captured in a separate
data field.  Specific data fields are;
·
study identifier;
·
study type;
·
media sampled;
·
analytes (CAS numbers for parent compound and metabolites);
·
sample location (coordinates);
·
date of sample;
·
depth of sample;
·
analytical result  (not averaged over samples or time) and
·
analytical QA/QC data (method description, method quantification limit, method reporting
limit, sample quantification limit, data qualifiers).
·
At a minimum, provide analytical results for each monitoring well in x-y graph format so a
trend in increase and/or decrease will be easily visualized.  Graph results for each monitoring
well separately for entire sampling period (i.e. 24 months).
All tabular data should be in either ASCII or MS Access format (or a format specifically
approved by EPA).

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2018-0330]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Appomattox River, Hopewell, VA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for a
marine event on the navigable waters of the Appomattox River at
confluence with the James River in Hopewell, VA. This action is
necessary to provide for the safety of life on these navigable waters
in Hopewell, VA, during a fireworks display on June 30, 2018. This rule
prohibits persons and vessels from being in the safety zone unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port Hampton Roads or a designated
representative.

DATES: This rule is effective from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. on June 30, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this rule,
call or email LCDR Barbara Wilk, Waterways Management Division Chief,
Sector Hampton Roads, U.S. Coast Guard; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, email
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
COTP Captain of the Port
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    On March 27, 2018, the Hopewell Recreation and Parks Department
notified the Coast Guard that it will be conducting a fireworks display
from approximately 9:30 to 9:45 p.m. on June 30, 2018, to serve as the
city of Hopewell's Fourth of July celebration. The fireworks are to be
launched from a barge in the Appomattox River near City Point in
Hopewell, VA. In response, on May 31, 2018, the Coast Guard published a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) titled Safety Zone; Appomattox
River, Hopewell, VA (83 FR 24950). There we stated why we issued the
NPRM, and invited comments on our proposed regulatory action related to
this fireworks display. During the comment period that ended June 7,
2018, we received no comments.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date of
this rule would be impracticable because immediate action is needed to

respond to the potential safety hazards associated with fireworks
displays including accidental discharge of fireworks, dangerous
projectiles, and falling hot embers or other debris.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C.
1231. The Captain of the Port Hampton Roads (COTP) has determined that
potential hazards associated with the fireworks to be used in this
display would be a safety concern for anyone within a 234-yard radius
of the barge. The purpose of this rulemaking is to ensure the safety of
vessels and the navigable waters within a 234-yard radius of the
fireworks barge before, during, and after the scheduled event.

IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule

    As noted above, we received no comments on our NPRM published May
31, 2018. There are no changes in the regulatory text of this rule from
the proposed rule in the NPRM.
    This rule establishes a safety zone from 9 to 11 p.m. on June 30,
2018. The safety zone would cover all navigable waters within 234 yards
of a barge in the Appomattox River at approximate coordinates:
37[deg]18'52.20'' N, 077[deg]17'12.52'' W. The duration of the zone is
intended to ensure the safety of vessels and these navigable waters
before, during, and after the scheduled 9:30 to 9:45 p.m. fireworks
display. No vessel or person will be permitted to enter the safety zone
without obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated
representative.

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. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. 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), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, duration, and time-of-year of the safety zone. Vessel traffic
will be able to safely transit around this safety zone which will
impact a small designated area of the Appomattox River at confluence
with the James River in Hopewell, VA, for 2 hours. Moreover, the Coast
Guard will issue Broadcast Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel
16 about the zone and the rule allows vessels to seek permission on-
scene to enter the zone.

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 XX 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
contact 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. If
you believe this rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.

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 and Commandant Instruction M16475.1D, 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 a safety zone lasting 2 hours that will
prohibit entry within 234 yards of a fireworks barge in the Appomattox
River near City Point in Hopewell, VA. It is categorically excluded
from further review under paragraph L60(a) of Appendix A, Table 1 of
DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 01. A Record of
Environmental Consideration supporting this determination is available
in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES.

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.
