[Docket No. USCG-2010-1001]
RIN 1625-AA00; 1625-AA08


Special Local Regulations and Safety Zones; Recurring Events in 
Captain of the Port New York Zone

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

[[Page 38078]]


ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to remove, add, and consolidate 
special local regulations and permanent safety zones in the Coast Guard 
Captain of the Port (COTP) New York Zone for annual recurring swim 
events, fireworks displays, and marine events (annual recurring 
events). When these special local regulations or safety zones are 
activated and subject to enforcement, this rule would restrict vessels 
from portions of water areas during these annual recurring events. The 
revised listing of special local regulations and safety zones would 
facilitate public notification of events and help protect the public 
and event participants from the hazards associated with these annual 
recurring events.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast 
Guard on or before July 29, 2011. Requests for public meetings must be 
received by the Coast Guard on or before July 6, 2011.

Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for the proposed rule is 33 U.S.C. 1225, 1226, 
1231, 1233; 46 U.S.C. Chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191, 195; 
Public Law 107-295, 116 Stat. 2064; and Department of Homeland Security 
Delegation No. 0170.1, which collectively authorize the Coast Guard to 
define regulatory safety zones and special local regulations.
    Swim events, fireworks displays, and marine events are held on an 
annual recurring basis on the navigable waters within the COTP Port New 
York Zone. In the past, the Coast Guard has established special local 
regulations, regulated areas, and safety zones for these annual 
recurring events on a case by case basis to ensure the protection of 
the maritime public and event participants from the hazards associated 
with these events. The Coast Guard has not received public comments or 
concerns regarding the impact to waterway traffic from these annually 
recurring events.
    This proposed rule will consistently apprise the public in a timely 
manner through permanent publication in Title

[[Page 38079]]

33 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The TABLES in this proposed 
regulation list each annual recurring event requiring a regulated area 
as administered by the Coast Guard.
    By establishing a permanent regulation containing these annual 
recurring events, the Coast Guard would eliminate the need to establish 
temporary rules for events that occur on an annual basis, thereby, 
limiting the costs associated with cumulative regulations.
    This rulemaking will remove, add, and consolidate regulations that 
better meet the Coast Guard's intended purpose of ensuring safety 
during these events.

Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The Coast Guard proposes to add 33 CFR 100.150 and to consolidate 
sections 33 CFR 165.161, 165.162, 165.166, 165.168, 165.170 into a new 
section, 33 CFR 165.160. The proposed rule would apply to the annual 
recurring events listed in the attached TABLES in the COTP New York 
Zone. The TABLES provide the event name, and type, as well as locations 
of the events. The specific times, dates, regulated areas, and 
enforcement period for each event will be provided through the Local 
Notice to Mariners, Broadcast Notice to Mariners and online at http://homeport.uscg.mil/newyork or through a Notice of Enforcement published 
in the Federal Register.
    During enforcement periods, the safety zones in TABLE 1 to Sec.  
165.160 will be enforced from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. each day. The safety 
zone will be enforced at the locations listed in TABLE to Sec.  
165.160, when a barge with a ``FIREWORKS--STAY AWAY'' sign on the port 
and starboard side is on-scene or when a ``FIREWORKS--STAY AWAY'' sign 
is posted on land adjacent to the shoreline. Vessels may enter, remain 
in, or transit through these safety zones during this time frame if 
authorized by the COTP New York or the designated representative.
    The particular size of the proposed safety zones established for 
each event will be reevaluated on an annual basis in accordance with 
Navigational and Vessel Inspection Circular (NVIC) 07-02, Marine Safety 
at Firework Displays, the National Fire Protection Association Standard 
1123, Code for Fireworks Displays (30-yard distance per inch of 
diameter of the fireworks mortars), and other pertinent regulations and 
publications.
    This proposed regulation would prevent vessels from transiting 
areas specifically designated as special local regulations or safety 
zones during the periods of enforcement to ensure the protection of the 
maritime public and event participants from the hazards associated with 
the listed annual recurring events. Only event sponsors, designated 
participants, and official patrol vessels will be allowed to enter 
regulated areas. Spectators and other vessels not registered as event 
participants may not enter the safety zones without the permission of 
the COTP or the designated representative.

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, 
as supplemented by Executive Order 13563, 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 minimal. 
Although this regulation may have some impact on the public, the 
potential impact will be minimized for the following reasons:
    The Coast Guard has previously promulgated safety zones or special 
local regulations, in accordance with 33 CFR Parts 100 and 165, for all 
event areas contained within this proposed regulation and has not 
received notice of any negative impact caused by any of the safety 
zones or special local regulations. By establishing a permanent 
regulation containing all of these events, the Coast Guard will 
eliminate the need to establish individual temporary rules for each 
separate event that occurs on an annual basis, thereby limiting the 
costs of cumulative regulations.
    Vessels will only be restricted from safety zones and special local 
regulation areas for a short duration of time. Vessels may transit in 
portions of the affected waterway except for those areas covered by the 
proposed regulated areas. Notifications of exact dates and times of the 
enforcement period will be made to the local maritime community through 
the Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners and, if 
possible, through a Notice of Enforcement in the Federal Register. No 
new or additional restrictions would be imposed on vessel traffic.

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: Owners or operators of 
vessels intending to transit, fish, or anchor in the areas where the 
listed annual recurring events are being held.
    The proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: Vessels 
will only be restricted from safety zones and special local regulation 
areas for a short duration of time; vessels may transit in portions of 
the affected waterway except for those areas covered by the proposed 
regulated areas; the Coast Guard has promulgated safety zones or 
special local regulations in accordance with 33 CFR Parts 100 and 165 
for all event areas in the past and has not received notice of any 
negative impact caused by any of the safety zones or special local 
regulations; notifications of exact dates and times of the enforcement 
period will be made to the local maritime community through the Local 
Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners or through a Notice 
of Enforcement in the Federal Register. No new or additional 
restrictions would be imposed on vessel traffic.
    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

[[Page 38080]]

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

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.

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) 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 appears to be 
one of a category of actions which do not individually or cumulatively 
have a significant effect on the human environment.
    A preliminary environmental analysis checklist supporting this 
determination will be available in the docket where indicated under 
ADDRESSES. This proposed rule involves establishment of safety zones 
for fireworks displays and swimming events as well as special local 
regulations for a power boat race. As such, it appears that this action 
will qualify for Coast Guard Categorical Exclusions (34) (g) and (h), 
respectively, as described in figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction.
    We seek any comments or information that may lead to the discovery 
of a significant environmental impact from this proposed rule.

Regulations, sponsors of events listed in TABLE to Sec.  100.150 are 
still required to submit marine event applications in accordance with 
33 CFR 100.15.
    (a) Definitions. The following definitions apply to this section:
    (1) Designated Representative. A ``designated representative'' is 
any Coast Guard commissioned, warrant or petty officer of the U.S. 
Coast Guard who has been designated by the Captain of the Port, Sector 
New York (COTP), to act on his or her behalf. The designated 
representative may be on an official patrol vessel or may be on shore 
and will communicate with vessels via VHF-FM radio or loudhailer. In 
addition, members of the Coast Guard Auxiliary may be present to inform 
vessel operators of this regulation.
    (2) Official Patrol Vessels. Official patrol vessels may consist of 
any Coast Guard, Coast Guard Auxiliary, state, or local law enforcement 
vessels assigned or approved by the COTP.
    (3) Spectators. All persons and vessels not registered with the 
event sponsor as participants or official patrol vessels.
    (b) Vessel operators desiring to enter or operate within the 
regulated areas shall contact the COTP or the designated representative 
via VHF channel 16 or 718-354-4353 (Sector New York command center) to 
obtain permission to do so.
    (c) Vessels may not transit the regulated areas without the COTP or 
designated representative approval. Vessels permitted to transit must 
operate at a no wake speed, in a manner which will not endanger 
participants or other crafts in the event.
    (d) Spectators or other vessels shall not anchor, block, loiter, or 
impede the transit of event participants or official patrol vessels in 
the regulated areas during the effective dates and times, or dates and 
times as modified through the Local Notice to Mariners, unless 
authorized by COTP or designated representative.
    (e) The COTP or designated representative may control the movement 
of all vessels in the regulated area. When hailed or signaled by an 
official patrol vessel, a vessel shall come to an immediate stop and 
comply with the lawful directions issued. Failure to comply with a 
lawful direction may result in expulsion from the area, citation for 
failure to comply, or both.
    (f) The COTP or designated representative may delay or terminate 
any marine event in this subpart at any time it is deemed necessary to 
ensure the safety of life or property.
    (g) For all power boat races listed, vessels not participating in 
this event, swimmers, and personal watercraft of any nature are 
prohibited from entering or moving within the regulated area unless 
authorized by the COTP or designated representative. Vessels within the 
regulated area must be at anchor within a designated spectator area or 
moored to a waterfront facility in a way that will not interfere with 
the progress of the event.
