33 CFR Part 165

[Docket No. USCG-2013-1033]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zones; Annual Events Requiring Safety Zones in the Captain
of the Port Lake Michigan Zone

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to amend its safety zones regulations
for annual events in the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan zone. This
proposed rule would update the locations and/or enforcement times for
23 permanent safety zones, add 10 new permanent safety zones, and allow
enforcement times to be subject to change with notice. We believe these
changes are necessary to protect spectators, participants, and vessels
from the hazards associated with annual maritime events, including
fireworks displays, boat races, and air shows.

B. Regulatory History and Information

    On April 5, 2013, the Coast Guard published a final rule entitled
Safety Zones; Annual Events Requiring Safety Zones in the Captain of
the Port Lake Michigan Zone in the Federal Register (78 FR 20454). That
final rule published after the Coast Guard considered public comments
in response to a preceding NPRM in the Federal Register (78 FR 9640,
February 11, 2013). No public meeting was requested, and none was held.

C. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for this proposed rule is the Coast Guard's
authority to establish regulated navigation areas and limited access
areas: 33 U.S.C. 1231; 46 U.S.C. Chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C.
191, 195; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-1, 6.04-6, 160.5; Public Law 107-295, 116
Stat. 2064; Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1.
    This proposed rule updates 23 permanent safety zones in 33 CFR
165.929. These 23 amendments involve updating the location, size, and/
or enforcement times for 21 fireworks displays in various locations, 1
regatta in Spring Lake, Michigan, and 1 Air and Water Show in Gary,
Indiana. The Coast Guard proposes to update the safety zones in Sec.
165.929 to ensure that vessels and persons are protected from the
specific hazards of the differing events, including firework displays,
boat races, and air shows. These specific hazards include: Obstructions
to the waterway that may cause marine casualties; the explosive danger
of fireworks; and flaming debris falling into the water that may cause
death or serious bodily harm.
    Additionally, this proposed rule adds 10 new safety zones to Sec.
165.929 for annually-reoccurring events in the Lake Michigan COTP Zone.
These 10 zones were added in order to protect the public from the
safety hazards previously described. The 10 additions include 9 safety
zones for fireworks displays, and 1 safety zone for the launch of
vessels on the Menominee River by Marinette Marine Corporation in
Marinette, Wisconsin.
    In this proposed rule, the Coast Guard also reorganized the safety
zones in Sec.  165.929 into a compressed chart which is sorted by
month. This change of format was made in an effort to improve clarity
and readability.
    This proposed rule would also permit the enforcement dates and
times for each of the safety zones listed in Table 165.929 to be
subject to change, but the duration of enforcement would remain the
same or nearly the same total number of hours as stated in the table.
The Coast Guard would issue a Notice of Enforcement for safety zones in
Sec.  165.929 reflecting any changes to enforcement dates or times.
This would facilitate minor changes in the date and time of an event by
publishing a Notice of Enforcement in the Federal Register, along with
issuing a Broadcast Notice to Mariners, the Coast Guard can quickly
inform the public of any changes to the enforcement dates or time for
any of the zones listed within this proposed rule.

D. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The safety zones in this proposed rule are necessary to ensure the
safety of vessels and people during annual marine or triggering events
in the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan area of responsibility.
Although this proposed rule will be effective year-round, the safety
zones in this proposed rule will be enforced only immediately before,
during, and after events that pose a hazard to the public, and only
upon notice by the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan.
    The Captain of the Port Lake Michigan will notify the public that
the zones in this proposal are or will be enforced by all appropriate
means to the affected segments of the public, including publication in
the Federal Register, as practicable, in accordance with 33 CFR
165.7(a). Such means of notification may also include, but are not
limited to, Broadcast Notice to Mariners or Local Notice to Mariners.
    Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within the safety zones is
prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port, or his or her
designated representative. The Captain of the Port or his or her
designated representative may be contacted via VHF Channel 16. All
persons and vessels granted permission to enter must comply with the
instructions of the Coast Guard Captain of the Port Lake Michigan or
his or her designated representative.

E. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on these statutes and executive orders.

1. 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,
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 Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under that Order. It is not ``significant''
under the regulatory policies and procedures of the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS). We conclude that this proposed 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 zones
established by this proposed rule would be relatively small. Also, the
safety zones are designed to minimize impact on navigable waters.
Furthermore, the safety zones have been designed to allow vessels to
transit unrestricted portions of the waterways not affected by the
safety zones. Thus, restrictions on vessel movements within the
affected areas are expected to be minimal. Under certain conditions,
moreover, vessels may still transit through the safety zones when
permitted by the Captain of the Port. On the whole, the Coast Guard
expects insignificant adverse impact to mariners from the enforcement
of these safety zones.

2. 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.

    This proposed rule will affect the following entities, some of
which might be small entities: The owners and operators of vessels
intending to transit or anchor in the areas designated as safety zones
during the dates and times the safety zones are being enforced.
    These safety zones will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the reasons cited in the
Regulatory Planning and Review section. Additionally, before the
enforcement of these zones, we would issue a local Broadcast Notice to
Mariners so vessel owners and operators can plan accordingly.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this proposed 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.

3. 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 Petty Officer Joseph McCollum,
Prevention Department, Coast Guard Sector Lake Michigan, Milwaukee, WI
at<PHONE_NUMBER>. 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.

4. 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).

5. Federalism

    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 this proposed rule does not have implications for
federalism.

6. 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.

7. 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 expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this proposed
rule elsewhere in this preamble.

8. Taking of Private Property

    This proposed rule would not affect a taking of private property or
otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630,
Governmental Actions and Interference With Constitutionally Protected
Property Rights.

9. 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.

10. Protection of Children From Environmental Health Risks

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children From Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This proposed 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.

11. 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.

12. Energy Effects

    This proposed rule is not a ``significant energy action'' under
Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. 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 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. An environmental analysis checklist
supporting this determination is available in the docket where
indicated under ADDRESSES. This proposed rule involves the
establishment of safety zones and is therefore categorically excluded
under figure 2-1, paragraph 34(g) of the Instruction. We seek any
comments or information that may lead to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this proposed rule.

2. Revise Sec.  165.929 to read as follows:

Sec.  165.929  Safety Zones; Annual events requiring safety zones in
the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan zone.

    (a) Regulations. The following regulations apply to the safety
zones listed in Table 165.929 of this section.
    (1) The general regulations in 33 CFR 165.23.

    (2) All vessels must obtain permission from the Captain of the Port
Lake Michigan or his or her designated representative to enter, move
within or exit a safety zone established in this section when the
safety zone is enforced. Vessels and persons granted permission to
enter one of the safety zones listed in this section must obey all
lawful orders or directions of the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan or
his or her designated representative. Upon being hailed by the U.S.
Coast Guard by siren, radio, flashing light or other means, the
operator of a vessel must proceed as directed.
    (3) The enforcement dates and times for each of the safety zones
listed in Table 165.929 in this section are subject to change, but the
duration of enforcement would remain the same or nearly the same total
number of hours as stated in the table. In the event of a change, the
Captain of the Port Lake Michigan will provide notice to the public by
publishing a Notice of Enforcement in the Federal Register, as well as,
issuing a Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
    (b) Definitions. The following definitions apply to this section:
    (1) Designated representative means any Coast Guard commissioned,
warrant, or petty officer designated by the Captain of the Port Lake
Michigan to monitor a safety zone, permit entry into a zone, give
legally enforceable orders to persons or vessels within a safety zone,
and take other actions authorized by the Captain of the Port Lake
Michigan.
    (2) Public vessel means a vessel that is owned, chartered, or
operated by the United States, or by a State or political subdivision
thereof.
    (3) Rain date refers to an alternate date and/or time in which the
safety zone would be enforced in the event of inclement weather.
    (c) Suspension of enforcement. The Captain of the Port Lake
Michigan may suspend enforcement of any of these zones earlier than

these zones earlier than the listed duration in this section, he or she
may make the public aware of this suspension by Broadcast Notice to
Mariners and/or on-scene notice by his or her designated
representative.
    (d) Exemption. Public vessels, as defined in paragraph (b) of this
section, are exempt from the requirements in this section.
    (e) Waiver. For any vessel, the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan
or his or her designated representative may waive any of the
requirements of this section, upon finding that operational conditions
or other circumstances are such that application of this section is
unnecessary or impractical for the purposes of safety or security.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-9909-62-ORD; EPA-HQ--ORD-2014-0288]

Notice of Availability of the Framework for Human Health Risk
Assessment To Inform Decision Making

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of availability.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing the
release of the Framework for Human Health Risk Assessment to Inform
Decision Making. This document was developed by the EPA's Risk
Assessment Forum and describes a Framework for conducting human health
risk assessments that are responsive to the needs of Agency decision
making. The document was developed to provide information to Agency
staff and managers, external stakeholders, and the public.

DATES: The document will be available for use by EPA risk assessors and
other interested parties on April 15, 2014.

ADDRESSES: The Risk Assessment Forum Framework for Human Health Risk
Assessment to Inform Decision Making is available electronically
through the EPA Web site at http://www.epa.gov/raf/frameworkhhra.htm.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Julie Fitzpatrick, Office of the
Science Advisor, Mail Code 8105-R, U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20460; telephone
number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; fax number:<PHONE_NUMBER>, Email:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA has an established history of conducting
human health risk assessments to support its decision making. The
Framework describes a process for conducting human health risk
assessments that is responsive to EPA's decision-making needs. The
Framework facilitates implementation of existing and future EPA
guidance for conducting human health risk assessments and improves the
utility of risk assessment in the decision-making process. The risk
assessment design and utility recommendations presented in the National
Research Council's report, Science and Decisions: Advancing Risk
Assessment, are addressed throughout the Framework. Specifically, the
Framework incorporates the recommendations that the EPA formalize and
implement planning and scoping, and problem formulation in the risk
assessment process as well as adopt a framework for informing
decisions.
    The Framework highlights the important roles of planning and
scoping as well as problem formulation in designing a risk assessment
that will serve a specific purpose. In accordance with longstanding EPA
policy, it also emphasizes the importance of scientific review and
public involvement. The Framework presents the concept of ``fit for
purpose'' to address to the development of risk assessments and
associated products that are suitable and useful for informing
decisions. EPA expects that this Framework will enhance the agency's
emphasis on the importance of transparency of the human health risk
assessment and decision making.
    This document is not intended to supersede existing agency
guidance; rather by citing and discussing existing guidance in the
context of the Framework it is intended to foster increased
implementation of agency guidance.

Science Advisor.
