SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    On November 13, 2007, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking 
(NPRM) entitled Special Local Regulations; Recurring Marine Events in 
the Seventh Coast Guard District Federal Register (72 FR 63839) under 
Docket No. CGD07-07-102. We received no letters in the mail commenting 
on the proposed rule. No public meeting was requested, and none was 
held.

Background and Purpose

    Marine events are frequently held on the navigable waters within 
the boundary of the Seventh Coast Guard District. These include events 
such as sailing regattas, holiday parades, and fireworks displays. 
Currently, there are over 250 annually recurring marine events and many 
other non-recurring events within the district. In the past, the Coast 
Guard regulated these events by creating individual special local 
regulations on a case by case basis. Most of these events required only 
the establishment of a regulated area and assignment of a patrol 
commander to ensure safety. Issuing individual, annual special local 
regulations has created a significant administrative burden on the 
Coast Guard. In 2005, the Coast Guard created over 60 temporary 
regulations for recurring marine events in the Seventh District. That 
number rose to over 110 in 2006 and over 160 in 2007.
    Additionally, for the majority of these events, the Coast Guard 
does not receive notification of the event or important details of the 
event are not finalized by event organizers with sufficient time to 
publish a notice of proposed rulemaking and final rule before the event 
date. The Coast Guard must therefore create temporary final rules that 
sometimes are not completed until a few days before the event. This 
results in delayed notification to the public, potentially placing the 
public and event participants at risk.
    This rule will significantly relieve the administrative burden on 
the Coast Guard, and at the same time allow the sponsor of the event 
and the Coast Guard to notify the public of these events in a timely 
manner. The public will be provided with notice of events through the 
table attached to this regulation. This table lists each recurring 
event that may be regulated by the Coast Guard, and indicates the 
sponsor, as well as the date and location of the event. Because the 
dates and location of these events may change slightly from year to 
year, the specific information on each event, including the exact 
dates, specific areas, and description of the regulated area, will be 
provided to the public through a Local Notice to Mariners published 
before the event, as well as through Broadcast Notice to Mariners. This 
table will be updated by the Coast Guard periodically to add new 
recurring events, remove events that no longer occur, and update listed 
events to ensure accurate information is provided.

Discussion Comments and Change

    No comments were received. However, slight changes were made to 
proposed events to clarify dates and sponsors. In the Captain of the 
Port Zone Key West the date for Marathon Super Boat Grand Prix was 
updated to the 3rd Weekend of May (FRI-SUN). The date for the FKCC Swim 
around Key West was updated to the 3rd Saturday in June. These changes 
were made to add information to the events for increased public 
knowledge.

Regulatory Evaluation

    This 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 rule to be so minimal that a 
full Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have 
considered whether this 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 rule 
would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
small entities. This 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 areas where marine events are 
being held. This proposed regulation will not

[[Page 4460]]

have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities 
because it will only be enforced on marine events that have been 
permitted by the Coast Guard Captain of the Port. The Captain of the 
Port will ensure that small entities are able to operate in the areas 
where events are occurring. Additionally, in most cases, vessels will 
be able to safely transit around the regulated area at all times, and, 
with the permission of the Patrol Commander, vessels may transit 
through the regulated area.
    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 offered to assist small 
entities in understanding this 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 the person listed under FOR 
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 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.

Collection of Information

    This rule calls 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 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 or more in any 
one year. Though this rule does not result in such an expenditure, we 
do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble.

Taking of Private Property

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

Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Commandant Instruction M16475.lD 
which guides 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 there are no factors in this 
case that would limit the use of a categorical exclusion under section 
2.B.2 of the Instruction. Therefore, we believe that this rule should 
be categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(h), of the 
Instruction, from further environmental documentation. This rule fits 
the category of paragraph 34(h) because it creates special local 
regulations for regattas and marine parades.
    Under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(h), of the Instruction, an 
``Environmental Analysis Check List'' is not required for this rule. 
Comments on this section will be considered before we make the final 
decision on whether to categorically exclude this rule from further 
environmental review.
