NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

A. Regulatory History and Information

    Previously, the special local regulations listed in 33 CFR 100.501
were amended in the January 19, 2012, issue of the Federal Register (77
FR 2632). The purpose of the rulemaking was to revise the Table to 33
CFR 100.501 by adding new annual recurring marine events, modifying
event dates for previously established locations within the geographic
boundary of the Fifth Coast Guard District; and deleting previously
listed marine events and corresponding regulated areas that no longer
occur.
    The safety zones at 33 CFR 165.506 were previously amended in the
March 23, 2012, issue of the Federal Register (77 FR 16932). The Coast
Guard revised the list of permanent safety zones in the Table to 33 CFR
165.506, for recurring fireworks displays, by adding new locations,
deleting previously established locations and modifying

previously established locations within the geographic boundary of the
Fifth Coast Guard District.
    On February 28, 2013, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled ``Special Local Regulations and Safety Zones; Recurring
Marine Events and Fireworks Displays within the Fifth Coast Guard
District'' in the Federal Register (78 FR 13576). We received no
comments on the proposed rule.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The Coast Guard is revising the list of permanent special local
regulations at 33 CFR 100.501 and safety zones at 33 CFR 165.506,
established for recurring marine events and fireworks displays 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.
    This rulemaking updates existing regulations in an effort to
reflect the most current information provided to the Fifth Coast Guard
District for marine events within its area of operations.
    The purpose of this rulemaking is to ensure the safety of life on
navigable waters during marine events, fireworks displays and provide
the marine community the opportunity to comment on regulated area and
safety zone locations, size, and length of time the zones will be
active.

Special Local Regulations

    Under 33 CFR 100.35, the Coast Guard District Commander has
authority to promulgate certain special local regulations deemed
necessary to ensure the safety of life on the navigable waters
immediately before, during, and immediately after an approved regatta
or marine parade. Currently there are 59 special local regulations that
are established and enforced at various periods throughout the year
that are held on an annual basis. This rule will decrease the total
number of special local regulations to 51 locations for marine events
within the boundary of the Fifth Coast Guard District. This regulation
includes events such as sailing regattas, power boat races, swim races,
holiday parades, crew and other paddle craft races. The Coast Guard is
revising the list of special local regulations at 33 CFR 100.501,
established for various marine events, by adding 7 new annual recurring
events and revising 13 previously established locations within the
geographic boundary of the Fifth Coast Guard District. This rule also
deletes 15 previously listed marine events and corresponding regulated
areas that are no longer occurring.

Safety Zones

    Under 33 CFR 165.23, the Coast Guard District Commander has
authority to promulgate certain safety zones deemed necessary to ensure
the safety of life on the navigable waters immediately before, during,
and immediately after an approved fireworks displays. In this rule the
Coast Guard revises the list of permanent safety zones at 33 CFR
165.506, established for fireworks displays at various locations within
the geographic boundary of the Fifth Coast Guard District. Currently
there are 74 permanent safety zones established for fireworks displays
within the geographic boundaries of the Fifth Coast Guard District.
This rule will increase the total number of permanent safety zones to
76 locations for fireworks displays within the boundary of the Fifth
Coast Guard District. The Coast Guard is revising the list of permanent
safety zones at 33 CFR 165.506, established for fireworks displays, by
adding 8 new locations, modifying 18 previously established locations
and deleting 6 previously established locations within the geographic
boundary of the Fifth Coast Guard District.

C. Discussion of Comments, Changes and the Final Rule

    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 establishing 51 Special local
regulations for marine events and 76 safety zones on the specified
navigable waters as listed within the Table to Sec.  100.501 and Sec.
165.506 respectively.
    Subsequent to publication of the NPRM the Coast Guard received
additional information from marine event sponsors who desire to change
date(s) for their specified events. Change of dates for two marine
events listed in the Table to Sec.  100.501 were made by the Coast
Guard. This change included the ``TriRock Triathlon Series'' race
sponsored by Competitor Group Inc. and listed as (b.)3 in the Table to
Sec.  100.501 was changed to ``July--3rd or 4th Saturday''. The ``Swim
Across the Potomac'' sponsored by U.S. Open Water Swimming
Association--Wave One Swimming and listed as (b.)16 in the Table to
Sec.  100.501 was changed to ``June--1st Sunday''. These changes will
be included in marine information broadcasts, notice to local mariners
as well as event updates provided by local media outlets.

D. Discussion of the Final Rule

    This rule will apply to each event listed in the attached tables to
this rule. Events listed in the tables are events that recur annually
in the Fifth Coast Guard District. The tables provide the event name
and sponsor, as well as an approximate date and location of the event.
    For each event listed in the table, an event patrol, with a Patrol
Commander in charge, may be assigned. The Patrol Commander may control
the movement of all vessels in the regulated area(s). When hailed or
signaled by an official patrol vessel, a vessel in these areas would be
required to immediately comply with the directions given. Failure to do
so may result in expulsion from the area, citation for failure to
comply, or both. The Coast Guard Patrol Commander may terminate the
event, or the operation of any vessel participating in the event, at
any time it is deemed necessary for the protection of life or property.
Only event organizers, designated participants, and official patrol
vessels will be allowed to enter a regulated area. All persons and
vessels not registered with the event sponsor or organizer as
participants or official patrol vessels are considered spectators.
Spectators may not enter the regulated area and may be confined to a
designated spectator area to view the event. Spectators may contact the
Coast Guard Patrol Commander to request permission to pass through the
regulated area. If permission is granted, spectators would be required
to pass directly through the regulated area at safe speed and without
loitering.

E. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this 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 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 those Orders.
    We expect the economic impact of this rule to be so minimal that a
full Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary. This finding is based on the
short amount of time that vessels would be restricted from regulated
areas, and the small size of these areas that are typically positioned
away from high vessel traffic zones. Vessels would not be precluded
from getting underway, or mooring at any piers or marinas currently
located in the vicinity of the regulated areas. Advance notifications
would also be made to the local maritime community by issuing Local
Notice to Mariners, Marine information and facsimile broadcasts so
mariners can adjust their plans accordingly. Notifications to the
public for most events will usually be made by local newspapers, radio
and TV stations. The Coast Guard anticipates that these special local
regulated areas and safety zones will only be enforced 1 to 3 times per
year.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 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 did not receive comments from the Small
Business Administration on this rule. 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 will affect
the following entities some of which may be small entities: The owners
and operators of vessels intending to transit or anchor in the
regulated areas during the times these zones are enforced.
    These regulated areas and safety zones will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities for the
following reasons: The Coast Guard will ensure that small entities are
able to operate in the areas where events are occurring to the extent
possible while ensuring the safety of event participants and
spectators. The enforcement period will be short in duration and, in
many of the areas, vessels can transit safely around the regulated
area. Generally, blanket permission to enter, remain in, or transit
through these regulated areas will be given except during the period
that the Coast Guard patrol vessel is present. Before the enforcement
period, we will issue maritime advisories widely.

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 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,
above.
    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.

4. 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).

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 rule under that Order and determined
that this 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 rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. Energy Effects

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

14. 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 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 implementation of regulations under 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. This
section of the rule is categorically excluded from further review under
paragraph 34(h) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. An
environmental analysis checklist supporting this determination and a
Categorical Exclusion Determination are not required for this section
of the rule.
    This rule involves implementation of regulations under 33 CFR part
165 that establish safety zones on navigable waters of the United
States for fireworks events. These safety zones are enforced for the
duration of fireworks display events. The fireworks are launched from
or immediately adjacent to navigable waters of the United States. The
category of activities includes fireworks launched from barges or near
the shoreline that generally rely on the use of navigable waters as a
safety buffer. This section of the rule is categorically excluded from
further review under paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant
Instruction. An environmental analysis checklist supporting this
determination and a Categorical Exclusion Determination are available
in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES.
