Background and Purpose

    On October 3, 2010, the Chesapeake Bay Power Boat Association will
sponsor power boat races on the Patuxent River near Solomons, MD. The
event consists of offshore power boats racing in a counter-clockwise
direction on a racetrack-type course located between the Governor
Thomas Johnson Memorial (SR-4) Bridge and the U.S. Naval Air Station
Patuxent River, MD. The start and finish lines will be located near the
Solomon's Pier. A large spectator fleet is expected during the event.
Due to the need for vessel control during the event, the Coast Guard
will temporarily restrict vessel traffic in the event area to provide
for the safety of participants, spectators and other transiting
vessels.

Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The Coast Guard proposes to establish temporary special local
regulations on specified waters of the Patuxent River. The regulations
will be enforced from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on October 3, 2010. The
regulated area, approximately 4,000 yards in length and 1,700 yards in
width, includes all waters of the Patuxent River, within lines
connecting the following positions: from latitude 38[deg]19'45'' N,
longitude 076[deg]28'06'' W, thence to latitude 38[deg]19'24'' N,
longitude 076[deg]28'30'' W, thence to latitude 38[deg]18'32'' N,
longitude 076[deg]28'14'' W; and from latitude 38[deg]17'38'' N,
longitude 076[deg]27'26'' W, thence to latitude 38[deg]18'00'' N,
longitude 076[deg]26'41'' W, thence to latitude 38[deg]18'59'' N,
longitude 076[deg]27'20'' W, located at Solomons, Maryland. The effect
of this proposed rule will be to restrict general navigation in the
regulated area during the event. Spectator vessels will be allowed to
view the event from a designated spectator area within the regulated
area, located within a line connecting the following positions:
latitude 38[deg]19'14'' N, longitude 076[deg]28'16'' W, thence to
latitude 38[deg]18'00'' N, longitude 076[deg]27'26'' W, thence to
latitude 38[deg]18'02'' N, longitude 076[deg]27'20'' W, thence to
latitude 38[deg]19'16'' N, longitude 076[deg]28'10'' W, thence to the
point of origin at latitude 38[deg]19'14'' N, longitude 076[deg]28'16''
W. All coordinates reference Datum NAD 83. Spectator vessels viewing
the event outside the regulated area may not block the navigable
channel. Other vessels intending to transit the Patuxent River will be
allowed to safely transit around the regulated area. These regulations
are needed to control vessel traffic during the event to enhance the
safety of participants, spectators and transiting vessels.

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 proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review,
and does not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits
under section 6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under that Order. We expect the economic
impact of this proposed rule to be so minimal that a full Regulatory
Evaluation under the regulatory policies and procedures of DHS is
unnecessary. Although this regulation will prevent traffic from
transiting a portion of the Patuxent River during the event, the effect
of this regulation will not be significant due to the limited duration
that the regulated area will be in effect and the extensive advance
notifications that will be made to the maritime community via the Local
Notice to Mariners and marine information broadcasts, so mariners can
adjust their plans accordingly. Additionally, the regulated area has
been narrowly tailored to impose the least impact on general navigation
yet provide the level of safety deemed necessary. Vessel traffic will
be able to transit safely through a portion regulated area, westward
and southward of the spectator fleet area.

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 effected
portions of the Patuxent River during the event.
    Although this regulation prevents traffic from transiting a portion
of the Patuxent River at Solomons, MD during the event, this proposed
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities for the following reasons. This proposed rule
would be in effect for only a limited period. Though the regulated area
extends across the entire width of the river, vessel traffic will be
able to transit safely around the spectator fleet and race course areas
within the regulated area. Before the enforcement period, we will issue
maritime advisories so mariners can adjust their plans accordingly.
    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 Coast Guard Sector Baltimore,
MD. 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 that do not individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human environment. This proposed rule
involves implementation of regulations within 33 CFR Part 100
applicable to organized marine events on the navigable waters of the
United States that could negatively impact the safety 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, canoe 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:

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for
navigable waters of Lake Erie at Lakewood Park, Lakewood, OH. This
safety zone is intended to restrict vessels from a portion of Lake Erie
during the Lakewood Independence Day fireworks display. This temporary
safety zone is necessary to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine
environment from the potential hazards associated with a fireworks
display. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited
unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port Sector
Buffalo.

DATES: This rule is effective from 9:45 p.m. through 10:45 p.m. on July
4, 2017.

U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule without prior notice
and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4(a) of
the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because the event sponsor did not submit
notice to the Coast Guard with sufficient time remaining before the
event to publish an NPRM. Thus, delaying the effective date of this
rule to wait for a comment period to run would be contrary to the
public interest by inhibiting the Coast Guard's ability to protect
spectators and vessels from the hazards associated with a maritime
fireworks display.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this temporary rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register because doing so would be
impracticable and contrary to the public interest. Delaying the
effective date would be contrary to the rule's objectives of ensuring
safety of life on the navigable waters and protection of persons and
vessels near the maritime fireworks display.

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 Buffalo, NY (COTP) has determined that
potential hazards associated with vessels in the vicinity of firework
displays on July 04, 2017 will be a safety concern for vessels and
spectators within a 420 foot radius of the launch point of the
fireworks. This rule is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the
marine environment in the navigable waters within the safety

zone while the fireworks display is happening.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a safety zone from 9:45 p.m. through 10:45
p.m. on July 4, 2017. The safety zone will cover all navigable waters
within 420 feet of the launch point of the fireworks display. No vessel
or person will be permitted to enter the safety zone without obtaining
permission from the COTP or a designated representative. Entry into,
transiting, or anchoring within the safety zone is prohibited unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port Buffalo or his designated on-
scene representative. The Captain of the Port or his designated on-
scene representative may be contacted via VHF Channel 16.

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 13563 emphasizes the importance of
quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing
rules, and of promoting flexibility.
    Executive Order 13771 (``Reducing Regulation and Controlling
Regulatory Costs''), directs agencies to reduce regulation and control
regulatory costs and provides that ``for every one new regulation
issued, at least two prior regulations be identified for elimination,
and that the cost of planned regulations be prudently managed and
controlled through a budgeting process.''
    This rule has not been designated a ``significant regulatory
action,'' under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, it has not been
reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget.
    As this rule is not a significant regulatory action, this rule is
exempt from the requirements of Executive Order 13771. See OMB's
Memorandum titled ``Interim Guidance Implementing Section 2 of the
Executive Order of January 30, 2017 titled `Reducing Regulation and
Controlling Regulatory Costs' '' (February 2, 2017).
    We conclude that this rule is not a significant regulatory action
because we anticipate that it will have minimal impact on the economy,
will not interfere with other agencies, will not adversely alter the
budget of any grant or loan recipients, and will not raise any novel
legal or policy issues. The safety zone created by this rule will be
relatively small and enforced for a relatively short time. Also, the
safety zone is designed to minimize its impact on navigable waters.
Furthermore, the safety zone has been designed to allow vessels to
transit around it. Thus, restrictions on vessel movement within that
particular area are expected to be minimal. Under certain conditions,
moreover, vessels may still transit through the safety zone when
permitted by the Captain of the Port.

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 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 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 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 (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 one hour that
will prohibit entry within 420 feet of the launch area for the
fireworks display. It is categorically excluded from further review
under paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. A
Record of Environmental Consideration (REC) supporting this
determination is available in the docket where indicated in the
ADDRESSES section of this preamble.

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.
