Special Local Regulations and Safety Zones; Recurring Marine 
Events and Fireworks Displays Within the Fifth Coast Guard District

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Interim final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is amending its special local regulations and 
safety zones established for recurring marine events and fireworks 
displays that take place within the Fifth Coast Guard District area of 
responsibility. This interim final rule revises the listing of events 
that informs the public of regularly scheduled marine parades, 
regattas, other organized water events, and fireworks displays that 
require additional safety measures provided by regulations. Through 
this interim final rule, the current list of recurring marine events 
requiring special local regulations or safety zones is updated with 
revisions, additional events, and removal of events that no longer take 
place in the Fifth Coast Guard District area of responsibility. When 
these special local regulations and safety zones are enforced, certain 
restrictions are placed on marine traffic in specified areas. 
Additionally, this rulemaking project promotes efficiency by 
eliminating the need to produce a separate rule for each individual 
recurring event, and serves to provide notice of the known recurring 
events requiring a special local regulation or safety zone throughout 
the year.

DATES: This rule is effective without actual notice from May 27, 2014. 
For the purposes of enforcement, actual notice will be used from the 
date the rule was signed, May 12, 2014, until May 27, 2014. Comments 
and related material must be received by the Coast Guard on or before 
June 26, 2014.

B. Regulatory History and Information

    The special local regulations listed in 33 CFR 100.501 and safety 
zones in 33 CFR 165.506 were last amended on May 21, 2013, (78 FR 
29629). The Coast Guard is issuing this interim final rule without 
prior notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under 
section 4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 
553(b)). This provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without 
prior notice and opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause 
finds that those procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or 
contrary to the public interest.''
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good cause 
exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) with 
respect to this rule because immediate action is necessary to protect 
the maritime public during certain marine events. The potential dangers 
posed by certain marine events and fireworks displays conducted on 
waterways in close proximity to other vessel traffic makes special 
local regulations and safety zones necessary to provide for the safety 
of participants, spectator craft, and other vessels transiting the 
event area. Accordingly, waiting for a comment period to run would be 
contrary to the public interest of protecting life and property. In 
addition, publishing an NPRM is impracticable because the necessary 
information regarding these annual recurring marine events and 
fireworks displays was not available in sufficient time to ensure 
accurate and up to date listings to allow for a comment period prior to 
the events.
    For the same reasons, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard 
finds that good cause exists for making this rule effective less than 
30 days after publication in the Federal Register. Additionally, 
providing a 30-day notice would unnecessarily delay the effective dates 
for the events listed to occur in June and July of 2014, which are also 
noticed to the public through local media outlets, and are planned on 
by the local communities where they take place.
    This interim rule is effective upon publication without prior 
notice through publication in the Federal Register, however we invite 
comments regarding the updated list of marine events. The Coast Guard 
will address all comments accordingly, whether through response, 
additional revision to the regulations, or otherwise.
    This interim rule, prepared to provide the most up to date list of 
recurring marine events, special local regulations and safety zones, 
provides ample notice for all listed events occurring after July 2014. 
Additionally, these recurring events are noticed to the public through 
local media and planned on by the local communities in which they take 
place.
    The current lists of annual and recurring special local regulations 
and safety zones for marine events and fireworks displays within the 
Fifth Coast Guard District area of responsibility (AOR) are published 
under 33 CFR 100.501 and 165.506, respectively. These lists were last 
updated May 21, 2013 through a previous rulemaking (78 FR 29629), and 
generated no adverse comments. Like this interim rule, the May 2013 
rule added to, removed from, and amended 33 CFR 100.501 and 33 CFR 
165.506 to create a comprehensive list of recurring marine events and 
fireworks displays requiring special local regulations and safety 
zones.

C. Basis and Purpose

    The Coast Guard is amending and updating the list of permanent 
special local regulations at 33 CFR 100.501 and safety zones at 33 CFR 
165.506, established for recurring marine events and fireworks displays 
at various locations within the geographic boundary of the Fifth Coast 
Guard District. The Fifth Coast Guard District AOR is defined in 33 CFR 
3.25.
    Publishing these regulatory updates in a single rulemaking promotes 
efficiency and provides the public with notice through publication in 
the Federal Register of the upcoming recurring marine events and 
fireworks displays and their accompanying regulations, special local 
regulations, and safety zones.

D. Discussion of the Interim Rule

Special Local Regulations

    This rule adds 2 new marine events with special local regulations, 
removes 2 events, and revises 10 previously established marine events 
in the Table to Sec.  100.501.
    The two newly added marine events to 33 CFR 100.501 affect the 
Middle River, Essex, MD and the Atlantic Ocean, Ocean City, MD. The two 
removed events no longer listed in 33 CFR 100.501 are the Tri Rock 
Triathlon, Annapolis, MD, and the Virginia Beach, VA, Hydroplane Races. 
The 10 existing

[[Page 30027]]

special local regulations that involve changes to marine event date(s) 
and coordinates are shown in Table 1, with reference by section as 
printed in the Table to Sec.  100.501.

10................  (c.) 9..................  Mattaponi River, Wakema, VA..  dates.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Based on the nature of marine events, large number of participants 
and spectators, and event locations, the Coast Guard has determined 
that the events listed in this rule could pose a risk to participants 
or waterway users if normal vessel traffic were to interfere with the 
event. Possible hazards include risks of participant injury or death 
resulting from near or actual contact with non-participant vessels 
traversing through the regulated areas. In order to protect the safety 
of all waterway users including event participants and spectators, this 
rule establishes special local regulations for the time and location of 
each marine event.
    This rule prevents vessels from entering, transiting, mooring or 
anchoring within areas specifically designated as regulated areas 
during the periods of enforcement unless authorized by the Captain of 
the Port (COTP), or designated Coast Guard Patrol Commander. The 
designated ``Patrol Commander'' includes Coast Guard commissioned, 
warrant, or petty officer who has been designated by the COTP to act on 
their behalf. On-scene patrol commander may be augmented by local, 
State or Federal officials authorized to act in support of the Coast 
Guard.

Safety Zones

    This rule adds 2 new events with safety zones, and revises 17 
previously established safety zones from the Table to Sec.  165.506. 
The two newly added safety zones are for fireworks events on the 
Patapsco River, Baltimore Harbor, Baltimore, MD and on the Atlantic 
Intra Coastal Waterway, Swansboro, NC. The 17 revisions to existing 
safety zones in 165.506 involve changes to event date(s) and 
coordinates. These revised safety zones are shown in Table 2, with 
reference by section as printed in the Table to Sec.  165.506.

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

    Each year, organizations in the Fifth Coast Guard District sponsor 
fireworks displays in the same general location and time period. Each 
event uses a barge or an on-shore site near the shoreline as the 
fireworks launch platform. A safety zone is used to control vessel 
movement within a specified distance surrounding the launch platforms 
to ensure the safety of persons and property. Coast Guard personnel on 
scene may allow boaters within the safety zone if conditions permit.
    The enforcement period for these safety zones is from 5:30 p.m. to 
1 a.m. local time. However, vessels may enter, remain in, or transit 
through these safety zones during this time frame if authorized by the 
COTP or designated Coast Guard patrol personnel on scene, as provided 
for in 33 CFR 165.23. This rule provides for the safety of life on 
navigable waters during the events.

[[Page 30028]]

E. Regulatory Analyses

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

1. 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 Executive Order 12866 or 
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and 
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders.
    We expect the economic impact of this interim final rule to be so 
minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary. This finding 
is based on the short amount of time that vessels will be restricted 
from regulated areas, and the small size of these areas that are 
typically positioned away from high vessel traffic zones. Generally 
vessels would not be precluded from getting underway, or mooring at any 
piers or marinas currently located in the vicinity of the regulated 
areas. Advance notifications would also be made to the local maritime 
community by issuance of Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast Notice to 
Mariners, Marine information and facsimile broadcasts so mariners can 
adjust their plans accordingly. Notifications to the public for most 
events will usually be made by local newspapers, radio and TV stations. 
The Coast Guard anticipates that these special local regulated areas 
and safety zones will only be enforced one to three times per year.

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 Coast Guard 
certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 
This rule will affect the following entities some of which may be small 
entities: The owners and operators of vessels intending to transit or 
anchor in these regulated areas during the times the zones are 
enforced.
    These special local regulated areas and safety zones will not have 
a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities 
for the following reasons: The Coast Guard will ensure that small 
entities are able to operate in the areas where events are occurring to 
the extent possible while ensuring the safety of event participants and 
spectators. The enforcement period will be short in duration and, in 
many of the areas, vessels can transit safely around the regulated 
area. Generally, blanket permission to enter, remain in, or transit 
through these regulated areas will be given, except during the period 
that the Coast Guard patrol vessel is present. Before the enforcement 
period, we will issue maritime advisories widely.
    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.

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 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.
    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 business. 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.

4. Collection of Information

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

8. Taking of Private Property

    This rule will 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 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 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.

11. 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

[[Page 30029]]

Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power 
and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

12. Energy Effects

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

14. Environment

    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 determined 
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 rule involves implementation of regulations within 33 CFR Part 
100 that apply to organized marine events on the navigable waters of 
the United States. Some marine events by their nature may introduce 
potential for adverse impact on the safety or other interest of 
waterway users or waterfront infrastructure within or close proximity 
to the event area. The category of water activities includes but is not 
limited to sail boat regattas, boat parades, power boat racing, 
swimming events, crew racing, and sail board racing. This section of 
the rule is categorically excluded from further review under paragraph 
34(h) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. An environmental 
analysis checklist supporting this determination and a Categorical 
Exclusion Determination are not required for this section of the rule.
    This rule involves implementation of regulations at 33 CFR Part 165 
that establish safety zones on navigable waters of the United States 
for fireworks events. These safety zones are enforced for the duration 
of fireworks display events. The fireworks are generally launched from 
or immediately adjacent to navigable waters of the United States. The 
category of activities includes fireworks launched from barges or at 
the shoreline that generally rely on the use of navigable waters as a 
safety buffer. Fireworks displays may introduce potential hazards such 
as accidental discharge of fireworks, dangerous projectiles, and 
falling hot embers or other debris. This section of the rule is 
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph 34(g) of 
Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. A preliminary environmental 
analysis checklist supporting this determination and a Categorical 
Exclusion Determination are 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 rule.
