Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket No. USCG-2009-0559]
RIN 1625-AA00


Safety Zones; Eleventh Coast Guard District Annual Fireworks 
Events

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is amending multiple permanent safety zones to 
ensure public safety during annual firework displays at various 
locations in the Eleventh Coast Guard District. These amendments will 
standardize the safety zone language, update listed events, delete 
events that are no longer occurring, add new unlisted annual fireworks 
events to the regulations, and standardize the format for all tables in 
these four sections. When these safety zones are activated, and thus 
subject to enforcement, this rule would limit the movement of vessels 
within the established firework display area.

DATES: This rule is effective September 15, 2011.

ADDRESSES: Comments and material received from the public, as well as 
documents mentioned in this preamble as being available in the docket,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    On February 9, 2011, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking 
(NPRM) entitled Eleventh Coast Guard District Annual Marine Events, in 
the Federal Register (76 FR 27). On May 26, 2011, we published a 
supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) of the same title to 
add clarifying language to the proposed rule (76 FR 30584). We received 
no comments on either the NPRM or the SNPRM or a request for public 
meeting. A public meeting was not held.

Background and Purpose

    Firework displays are held annually on a recurring basis on the 
navigable waters within the Eleventh Coast Guard District. Many of the 
annual firework events requiring safety zones do not currently reflect 
changes in actual dates and other required information. These safety 
zones are necessary to provide for the safety of the crew, spectators, 
participants of the event, participating vessels, and other users and 
vessels of the waterway from the hazards associated with firework 
displays. This rule will also provide the public current information on 
safety zone locations, size, and length of time the zones will be 
active.
    The effect of these safety zones will be to restrict general 
navigation in the vicinity of the events, from the start of each event 
until the conclusion of that event. These areas will be patrolled at 
the discretion of the Coast Guard. Except for persons or vessels 
authorized by the Coast Guard Patrol Commander, no person or vessel may 
enter or remain in the regulated area. These regulations are needed to 
keep spectators and vessels a safe distance away from the firework 
displays to ensure the safety of participants, spectators, and 
transiting vessels.
    33 CFR 165.1191 has not been updated recently and Sec. Sec.  
165.1123, 165.1124, and 165.1125 need to be added. In addition, 
information for those events that continue to occur has changed in some 
cases and requires updating. Also, there are minor corrections required 
in the regulatory text. Finally, amending the text will create 
standardization with the regulations.

Discussion of Rule

    The Coast Guard is revising 33 CFR 165.1191, and adding 33 CFR 
165.1123, 165.1124, 165.1125. These amendments are necessary to provide 
the public with current information on the annual firework displays 
occurring within the Eleventh Coast Guard District. 33 CFR 165.1191 is 
revised to conform existing regulatory language for regulations 
establishing permanent safety zones for annual firework events within 
the Eleventh Coast Guard District. The Coast Guard is adding 33 CFR 
165.1123, 165.1124, and 165.1125 to establish safety zones for annual 
firework events in two Southern California Captain of the Port Zones, 
and on the Colorado River between Davis Dam (Bullhead City, Arizona) 
and Headgate Dam (Parker, Arizona).
    Table 1 for each of the listed sections will be updated or added as 
follows: update with current information existing events, add 
previously unlisted events, and delete listed events that the Coast 
Guard has been unable to verify as continuing.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this 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 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. 
This rule is not a significant regulatory action because the 
regulations exist for a limited period of time on a limited portion of 
the waterways. Further, individuals and vessels desiring to use the 
affected portion of the waterways may seek permission from the Patrol 
Commander to use the affected areas.

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.
    We expect this rule will affect the following entities, some of 
which may be small entities: the owners and operators of vessels 
intending to fish, transit, or anchor in the waters affected by these 
special local regulations. These special local regulations will not 
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities for the following reasons: Small vessel traffic will be able 
to pass safely around the area and vessels engaged in event activities, 
sightseeing and commercial fishing have ample space outside of the area 
governed by the special local regulations to engage in these 
activities. Small entities and the maritime public will be advised of 
implementation of these special local regulations via public notice to 
mariners or notice of implementation published in the Federal Register.
    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 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 Lieutenant Lucas Mancini, 
Eleventh Coast Guard District Prevention Division, Waterways Management 
Branch, Coast Guard; telephone 510-437-3801, e-mail 
Lucas.W.Mancini@uscg.mil. 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 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

[[Page 50671]]

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 (adjusted for 
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this 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 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 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. 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 concluded 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 is categorically 
excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph 34(g), of the Instruction. An 
environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion 
determination are available in the docket where indicated under 
ADDRESSES.

Federal, state, or local law enforcement; and any public or sponsor-
provided vessels assigned or approved by the cognizant Coast Guard 
Sector Commander to patrol each event.
    (1) No spectator shall anchor, block, loiter, nor impede the 
through transit of participants or official patrol vessels in the 
safety zone during all applicable effective dates and times unless 
cleared to do so by or through an official patrol vessel.
    (2) When hailed and/or signaled by an official patrol vessel, any 
spectator located within a safety zone during all applicable effective 
dates and times shall come to an immediate stop.
    (3) The Patrol Commander (PATCOM) is empowered to forbid and 
control the movement of all vessels in the safety zone. The Patrol 
Commander shall be designated by the cognizant Coast Guard Sector 
Commander; will be a U.S. Coast Guard commissioned officer, warrant 
officer, or petty officer to act as the Sector Commander's official 
representative. As the Sector Commander's representative, the PATCOM 
may terminate the event any time it is deemed necessary for the 
protection of life and property. PATCOM may be reached on VHF-FM 
Channel 13 (156.65MHz) or 16 (156.8MHz) when required, by the call sign 
``PATCOM''.
    (4) The Patrol Commander may, upon request, allow the transit of 
vessels through the safety zone when it is safe to do so.
    (5) The Coast Guard may be assisted by other Federal, state, or 
local agencies.

Sector Commander to patrol each event.
    (1) No spectator shall anchor, block, loiter, nor impede the
