[Docket No. USCG-2011-0286]
RIN 1625-AA00; 1625-AA08


Eighth Coast Guard District Annual Marine Events and Safety Zones

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Direct final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is amending and updating its special local 
regulations and safety zones relating to recurring marine parades, 
regattas, fireworks displays, and other events that take place in the 
Eighth Coast Guard District area of responsibility. This rule informs 
the public of regularly scheduled marine parades, regattas, fireworks 
displays, and other annual events. When these special local regulations 
and safety zones are enforced, marine traffic is restricted in 
specified areas. The purpose of this rule is to reduce administrative 
costs involved in producing a separate rule for each individual 
recurring event and to provide notice of the known recurring events 
requiring a special local regulation or safety zone throughout the 
year. This rule will also help to protect event participants and the 
public from the hazards associated with the listed events.

DATES: This rule is effective May 30, 2012, unless an adverse comment, 
or notice of intent to submit an adverse comment, is either submitted 
to our online docket via http://www.regulations.gov on or before April 
2, 2012 or reaches the Docket Management Facility by that date. If an 
adverse comment, or notice of intent to submit an adverse comment, is 
received by April 2, 2012, we will withdraw this direct final rule and 
publish a notice of withdrawal in the Federal Register.

Regulatory Information

    We are publishing this direct final rule under 33 CFR 1.05-55 
because we do not expect an adverse comment. If no adverse comment or 
notice of intent to submit an adverse comment is received by April 2, 
2012, this rule will become effective as stated in the DATES section. 
In that case, approximately 30 days before the effective date, we will 
publish a document in the Federal Register stating that no adverse 
comment was received and confirming that this rule will become 
effective as scheduled. However, if we receive an adverse comment or 
notice of intent to submit an adverse comment, we will publish a 
document in the Federal Register announcing the withdrawal of all or 
part of this direct final rule. If an adverse comment applies only to 
part of this rule (e.g., to an amendment, a paragraph, or a section) 
and it is possible to remove that part without defeating the purpose of 
this rule, we may adopt, as final, those parts of this rule on which no 
adverse comment was received. We will withdraw the part of this rule 
that was the subject of an adverse comment. If we decide to proceed 
with a rulemaking following receipt of an adverse comment, we will 
publish a separate notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) and provide a 
new opportunity for comment.
    A comment is considered ``adverse'' if the comment explains why 
this rule or a part of this rule would be inappropriate, including a 
challenge to its underlying premise or approach, or would be 
ineffective or unacceptable without a change.

Basis and Purpose

    The Coast Guard is amending and updating the special local 
regulations and safety zones under 33 CFR parts 100 and 165 to 
incorporate the numerous annual marine events held on or around 
navigable waters within the Eighth Coast Guard District. These events 
include marine parades, boat races, swim events, fireworks displays, 
and other marine related events. In the past, a special local 
regulation or safety zone for each individual event was established 
separately. Currently, there is a list of events located at 33 CFR part 
100, establishing a special local regulation for each annually 
recurring marine event. That list requires amending and updating to 
include 136 new events expected to recur annually (and for which 
temporary rules have typically been enacted each year), remove 44 
events that no longer occur, and to properly categorize 83 events 
requiring either a special local regulation or a safety zone. Issuing 
individual regulations for each new event, event requiring amendment, 
or removing or re-categorizing an event creates unnecessary 
administrative costs and burdens. This rule considerably reduces the 
administrative overhead and provides the public with notice through 
publication in the Federal Register of the upcoming recurring marine 
events and their accompanying special local regulations and safety 
zones.
    Amending and updating the established permanent regulations for 
marine events eliminates the need to issue individual temporary rules 
for each recurring event. The Coast Guard encourages the public to 
participate in this rulemaking so that any changes necessary can be 
identified and implemented in a timely and efficient manner.

Discussion of Rule

    33 CFR part 100 contains regulations to provide effective control 
over regattas and marine parades conducted on U.S. navigable waters to 
ensure safety of life in the regattas or marine parade area. Section 
100.801 regulates events that take place in the Eighth Coast Guard 
District. This section requires amendment and update to properly 
reflect the annually recurring marine events requiring special local 
regulations in the Eighth Coast Guard District. The events listed in 
Table 1 of Section 100.801 are amended and updated to reflect current 
events as presented in this rule.
    This rule also modifies 33 CFR part 165 which provides for the 
establishment of safety zones to ensure marine safety during fireworks 
displays, air shows and other marine events recurring annually and 
requiring a safety zone. A new table listing the annually recurring 
safety zones in the Eighth Coast Guard District is added to 33 CFR 165.

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, 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 that Executive Order 12866 
or under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management 
and Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders.
    The Coast Guard expects the economic impact of this rule to be so 
minimal that a full regulatory evaluation is unnecessary. The marine 
parades, regattas, fireworks displays, and other events listed in this 
rule will restrict

[[Page 12458]]

vessel traffic transiting certain areas of Eighth Coast Guard District 
waters at specified times; however the effect of this regulation will 
not be significant because these events are short in duration and the 
special local regulation or safety zone restricting and governing 
vessel movements are also short in duration. Additionally, the public 
is given advance notification through the Federal Register and/or 
Notices of Enforcement and thus will be able to plan operations around 
the events in advance.

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.
    This rule may affect the following entities, some of which might be 
small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to transit 
the regulated area during the marine parades, regattas, fireworks 
displays, and other events. The special local regulations and safety 
zones will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities for the following reasons. These regulations 
will be in effect for short periods of times. Before the effective 
period, the Coast Guard Captain of the Port will issue maritime 
advisories widely available to waterway users.
    Therefore, the Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that 
this final rule will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we offer to assist small 
entities in understanding the rule so that they can better evaluate its 
effects on them and participate in the rulemaking process. 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 businesses. 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.

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 will 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 does not create an 
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may 
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 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.

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 Department of Homeland Security 
Management Directive 0023.1 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 
that this action is one of a category of actions which do not 
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human 
environment. This rule is categorically excluded under section 2.B.2, 
figure 2-1, paragraphs (34)(g) and (34)(h) of the

[[Page 12459]]

Instruction because it involves establishment of safety zones and 
special local regulations for marine parades, regattas, fireworks 
displays, and other events. An Environmental analysis and a categorical 
exclusion determination are available in the docket where indicated 
under ADDRESSES.
