33 CFR Part 165

[Docket No. USCG-2013-0362]
RIN 1625-AA00


Eleventh Coast Guard District Annual Fireworks Events

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to amend several permanent safety 
zones located in the Eleventh Coast Guard District that are established 
to protect public safety during annual firework displays. These 
amendments will standardize the safety zone language, update listed 
events, delete events that are no longer occurring, add new annual 
fireworks events, and establish a standardized format using a table to 
list these recurring annual fireworks events. 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: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast 
Guard on or before January 9, 2014. Requests for public meetings must 
be received by the Coast Guard on or before December 24, 2013.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The Coast Guard is conducting this rulemaking under the authority 
of 33 U.S.C. 1231.
    Fireworks displays are held annually on a recurring basis on the 
navigable waters within the Eleventh Coast Guard District. Many of the 
annual fireworks events that require safety zones do not currently 
reflect some of the required information pertinent to the events such 
as the dates of the events and other required information that is 
described below. 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 proposed 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 proposed 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. 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 
fireworks displays to ensure the safety of participants, spectators, 
and transiting vessels.

C. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The Coast Guard has reviewed 33 CFR 165 sections 1123, 1124, and 
1191 for accuracy. The Coast Guard is proposing to amend Table 1 in 
sections 1123, 1124, and 1191 of Title 33 CFR as follows: Existing 
events are being updated with current information; unlisted events are 
being added; and listed events that the Coast Guard has been unable to 
verify as still in existence are being deleted.
    The Coast Guard proposes to update the annual fireworks events for 
the San Diego Captain of the Port zone listed in 33 CFR 165 section 
1123 as follows: 4 Events require updating to reflect current sponsor 
information and event location. These events are the ``San Diego CA 
POPS Fireworks Display'', ``Fourth of July Fireworks, Mission Bay'', 
``Coronado Glorietta Bay Fourth of July Fireworks'', and ``San Diego 
Parade of Lights Fireworks Display.'' Through this rulemaking, three 
new safety zones are being proposed for the following events. The first 
proposed safety zone is for the ``Big Bay Boom Fourth of July 
Fireworks'' event occurring one evening during the first week of July 
in San Diego Bay. This event requires four 1,000 foot radius safety 
zones around barges located at Shelter Island, Harbor Island, 
Embarcadero, and Seaport Village. The second proposed safety zone is 
for the ``MIDWAY Fireworks'' event occurring on various evenings 
throughout the year on the USS MIDWAY in San Diego Bay. The proposed 
safety zone will be 800 feet in radius around a barge located 
immediately to the west of the USS MIDWAY at approximately 
32[deg]42'46'' N, 11[deg]10'47'' W. The third proposed safety zone is 
for the ``Sea World Fireworks'' event in Mission Bay occurring nightly 
between Memorial Day and Labor Day, and on approximately 10 evenings 
between Labor Day and Memorial Day. The safety zone at Sea World, 
Mission Bay, will be 800 feet in radius around a barge located at 
approximately 32[deg]46'03'' N, 117[deg]13'11'' W. Sea World Fireworks 
events will also be scheduled between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day 
as conditions allow.
    The Coast Guard also proposes to update the annual fireworks events 
listed in 33 CFR 165 section 1124 within the San Diego Captain of the 
Port zone for the Colorado River, between Davis Dam (Bullhead City, AZ) 
and Headgate Dam (Parker, AZ) as follows: 4 Events require updating 
with current sponsor information and event locations. These events are 
the ``Avi Resort & Casino Memorial Day Fireworks'', ``Laughlin/Bullhead 
City Rockets Over the River Fireworks'', ``Avi Resort & Casino 
Independence Day Fireworks'', and the ``Avi Resort & Casino Labor Day 
Fireworks.'' Through this rulemaking, two new safety zones are proposed 
for the following events. The first proposed safety zone is for the 
``Colorado Belle & Edgewater Hotel/Casino Thanksgiving Fireworks'' 
event occurring in the lower Colorado River at Laughlin, NV. The 
proposed safety zone will encompass the following coordinates: 
35[deg]09'51'' N, 114[deg]34'08'' W; 35[deg]09'53'' N, 114[deg]34'15'' 
W along the shoreline to 35[deg]09'31'' N, 114[deg]34'17'' W; 
35[deg]09'33'' N, 114[deg]34'08'' W along the shoreline to 
35[deg]09'51'' N, 114[deg]34'08'' W. The second proposed safety zone is 
for the ``Colorado Belle & Edgewater Hotel/Casino New Years Eve 
Fireworks'' event occurring on the lower Colorado River at Laughlin, 
NV. The proposed safety zone will encompass the following coordinates: 
35[deg]09'51'' N, 114[deg]34'08'' W; 35[deg]09'53'' N, 114[deg]34'15'' 
W along the shoreline to 35[deg]09'31'' N, 114[deg]34'18'' W; 
35[deg]09'33'' N, 114[deg]347'08'' W along the shoreline to 
35[deg]09'51'' N, 114[deg]34'08'' W.
    The Coast Guard also proposes to update the annual fireworks events 
listed in 33 CFR 165 section 1191 within the San Francisco Captain of 
the Port zone for the Northern California and Lake Tahoe Area as 
follows: 14 events require updating to reflect current sponsor 
information and event location. The Coast Guard proposes to update the 
following 14 numerically listed events in Table 1 of this section: (1), 
(4), (5), (6), (7), (9), (11), (13), (14), (15), (16), (20), (24), 
(25). Through this rulemaking, two new safety zones are proposed for 
the following events. The first proposed safety zone is for the 
``Jameson Beach Fourth of July Fireworks'' event, occurring at South 
Lake Tahoe near Jameson Beach. This proposed safety zone will be 560 
feet in radius around the fireworks barge. The second proposed safety 
zone is for the ``Feast of Lanterns Fireworks'' event, occurring on the 
last Saturday in July near Lovers Point Park in Pacific Grove. This 
proposed safety zone will be 490 feet in radius around the launch 
platform located on the beach at approximately 36[deg]37'26'' N, 
121[deg]54'54'' W. Finally, the Coast Guard is proposing to delete 
three safety zones for events that no longer take place within the San 
Francisco Captain of the Port zone. Those three events are: the 
``Fourth of July Fireworks, City of Monterey'', the ``Jack London 
Square Fourth of July Fireworks'', and the ``Independence Day 
Celebration, City of Stockton.''

D. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes 
and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our 
analyses based on a number of these statutes or executive orders.

1. 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, Improving Regulation and 
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential 
costs and benefits under

[[Page 74050]]

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. Since the proposed safety zones are 
limited and temporary in nature, they do not constitute a significant 
regulatory action.

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 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.
    We expect this proposed rule may affect owners and operators of 
vessels, some of which may be small entities, intending to fish, 
sightsee, transit, or anchor in the waters affected by these proposed 
safety zones. This proposed rule will not have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities for several 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 proposed safety 
zones to engage in these activities. Small entities and the maritime 
public will be advised of the activation of the proposed safety zones 
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 rulemaking would economically affect it.

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 proposed 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. 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.

4. Collection of Information

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

8. Taking of Private Property

    This proposed 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.

9. 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.

10. Protection of Children From Environmental Health Risks

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045, 
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety 
Risks. This rulemaking would not be an economically significant rule 
and would not create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety 
that might disproportionately affect children.

11. 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.

12. Energy Effects

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

14. 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 is one of a 
category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a 
significant effect on the human environment. This proposed rule 
involves establishing, updating, or removing temporary safety zones for 
fireworks displays. The fireworks are launched from navigable waters of 
the United States and may have potential for negative impact on the 
safety or other interest of waterway users and near shore activities in 
the event area. The activites include fireworks launched from barges 
near the shoreline that generally rely on the use of navigable waters 
as a safety buffer to protect the public from fireworks fallouts and 
premature detonations. This rulemaking is categorically excluded from 
further review under

[[Page 74051]]

paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. A 
preliminary environmental analysis checklist supporting this 
determination is available in the docket where indicated under 
ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or information that may lead to the 
discovery of a significant environmental impact from this proposed 
rule.
