33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2021-0647]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; CBWTP Outfall Diffuser Improvements, Columbia River,
Portland, OR

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is proposing to establish a temporary safety
zone for certain navigable waters of the Columbia River. This action is
necessary to provide for the safety of life on these navigable waters
near Portland, OR, at Columbia River Mile 105.6 from October 1, 2021,
through February 28, 2022. This proposed rulemaking would prohibit
persons and vessels from being in the safety zone unless authorized by
the Captain of the Port Sector Columbia River or a designated
representative. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before September 7, 2021.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2021-0647 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at https://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further
instructions on submitting comments.

proposed rulemaking, call or email LCDR Sean Morrison, Waterways

FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    On July 20, 2021, Ballard Marine Construction notified the Coast
Guard that it would begin construction for their CBWTP Outfall Diffuser
Improvements Project from 12:01 a.m. on October 1, 2021, through 11:59
p.m. on February 28, 2022, to remove and replace existing pipeline
along with dredging operations. The construction project includes the
two Outfall easements (001 and 003) being dredged with diver assistance
to expose existing risers and diffusers. The existing risers and
diffuser valves will be removed and disposed of. In their place, longer
risers will be attached along with new diffuser valves. Additionally,
the Outfalls will be dredged to remove the treated effluent that has
settled inside the main trunk lines if needed. All diver work will be
supported by a floating crane barge approximately 50 feet by 185 feet
that will be anchored during the duration of work upon each of the two
specified Outfalls and will be moved within the zone approximately four
times. The Captain of the Port Sector Columbia River (COTP) has
determined that potential hazards associated with the construction
project would be a safety concern for anyone within the designated area
of the CBWTP Outfall Diffuser Improvements.
    The purpose of this rulemaking is to ensure the safety of vessels
and the navigable waters within the designated area of the CBWTP
Outfall Diffuser Improvements construction project. The Coast Guard is
proposing this rulemaking under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034
(previously 33 U.S.C. 1231).

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The COTP is proposing to establish a safety zone from October 1,
2021, through February 28, 2022. The safety zone would cover all
navigable waters of the Columbia River, surface to bottom,
approximately 300 yards to the east and west side of the Burlington
Northern Railroad Bridge on the Oregon side of the Columbia River from
the shoreline to the outside of the main navigational channel;
specifically beginning at the shoreline at 45[deg]37'26.2'' N,
122[deg]41'46.91'' W, northeast to 45[deg]37'33.206'' N,
122[deg]41'37.699'' W, southeast to 45[deg]37'23.4'' N,
122[deg]41'18.1'' W, thence southwest to 45[deg]37'16.27'' N,
122[deg]41'30.75'' W, and along the shoreline back to the beginning
point. The duration of the zone is intended to ensure the safety of
vessels and these

navigable waters while the construction is underway. No vessel or
person would be permitted to enter the safety zone without obtaining
permission from the COTP or a designated representative. A designated
representative means any Coast Guard commissioned, warrant, or petty
officer who has been authorized by the COTP to act on his behalf, or a
Federal, State, and local officer designated by or assisting the
Captain of the Port Sector Columbia River in the enforcement of the
safety zone. Vessel operators desiring to enter or operate with the
safety zone would contact the COTP's on-scene designated representative
by calling<PHONE_NUMBER> or the Sector Columbia River Command Center
on Channel 16 VHF-FM. Those in the safety zone would comply with all
lawful orders or directions given to them by the COTP or the COTP's
designated representative. The regulatory text we are proposing appears
at the end of this document.

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. 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).
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, duration, and time-of-year of the safety zone. Vessel traffic
would be able to safely transit around this safety zone which would
impact a small designated area of the Columbia River during the
construction project. Moreover, the Coast Guard would issue a Notice to
Mariners about the zone, and the rule would allow vessels to seek
permission 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 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 call or email 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 would 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. This proposed rule involves a safety
zone lasting 85 days that would prohibit vessel traffic to transit the
area during construction operations. Normally such actions are
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L60 of
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. 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.
    We accept anonymous comments. Comments we post to https://www.regulations.gov will include any personal information you have
provided. For more about privacy and submissions in response to this
document, see DHS's eRulemaking System of Records notice (85 FR 14226,
March 11, 2020).
    Documents mentioned in this NPRM as being available in the docket,
and public comments, will be in our online docket at https://www.regulations.gov and can be viewed by following that website's
instructions. We review all comments received, but we will only post
comments that address the topic of the proposed rule. We may choose not
to post off-topic, inappropriate, or duplicate comments that we
receive. If you go to the online docket and sign up for email alerts,
you will be notified when comments are posted or a final rule is
published.
