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

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is issuing a final rule that revises the list 
of 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. Under this rule, the 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. 
When these regulations are enforced, certain restrictions are placed on 
marine traffic in specified areas. 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 May 18, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Documents mentioned in this preamble are part of docket 
[USCG-2014-1011]. To view documents mentioned in this preamble as being

NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

A. Regulatory History and Information

    The special local regulations listed in 33 CFR 100.501 and safety 
zones listed in 33 CFR 165.506 were last amended on July 21, 2014 (79 
FR 42197).
    On February 13, 2015, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking 
(NPRM) entitled ``Special Local Regulations and Safety Zones; Recurring 
Marine Events and Fireworks Displays within the Fifth Coast Guard 
District'' in the Federal Register (80 FR 7994). We received one 
favorable comment on the proposed rule.
    No public meeting was requested, and none was held.

B. Basis and Purpose

    This rulemaking is authorized by 33 U.S.C. 1231, 1233; 33 CFR 1.05-
1, 160.5; and DHS Delegation No. 0170.1. It updates 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 Fifth Coast Guard 
District area of responsibility (AOR). 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.

C. Discussion of Comments, Changes and the Final Rule

    Coast Guard Sector Baltimore, MD submitted changes for a special 
local regulation for marine event and a safety zone for fireworks 
display that were published on February 13, 2015 in the notice of 
proposed rulemaking. The changes are included in the Table to Sec.  
100.501, (b.) line 23, Date. The date for this marine event was 
expanded to include the 3rd Sunday. Change was made to the Table to 
Sec.  165.506, (b.) line 1, Regulated Area. The regulated area for this 
fireworks display was changed to 500 yard radius. This change was made 
to provide a larger safety buffer within Washington Channel due to the 
anticipated high density of spectator vessels that typically congregate 
for this event. These changes do not affect the location or total 
number of regulated areas previously listed in the NPRM.
    One commenter generally supported the proposed listing of all 
marine events in the Fifth District area of responsibility. No changes 
were made to the proposed rule based upon this comment.

Special Local Regulations

    This rule adds 2 new special local regulations for marine events, 
removes 1 regulation and revises 10 previously established regulations 
for marine events listed in the Table to Sec.  100.501. Other than 
changes to the dates and locations of certain events, the other 
provisions in 33 CFR 100.501 remain unchanged.
    The Coast Guard has revised regulations at 33 CFR 100.501 by adding 
2 new special local regulations. The special local regulations are 
listed in Table 1, including reference by section as printed in the 
Table to Sec.  100.501.

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

    One previously published special local regulation for marine event 
was removed from 33 CFR 100.501, i.e. ``Ragin on the River'' power boat 
race that took place on the Susquehanna River, near Port Deposit, MD.
    This rule revises 10 preexisting special local regulations that 
involve change to marine event date(s) and/or coordinates. These events 
are listed in Table 2, with reference by section as printed in the 
Table to Sec.  100.501.

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

    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

[[Page 20420]]

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 6 new safety zones, removes 1 safety zone and 
revises 12 previously established safety zones listed in the Table to 
Sec.  165.506. Other than changes to the dates and locations of certain 
safety zones, the other provisions in 33 CFR 165.506 remain unchanged.
    The Coast Guard has revised the regulations at 33 CFR 165.506 by 
adding 6 new safety zone locations to the permanent regulations listed 
in this section. The new safety zones are listed in Table 3, including 
reference by section as printed in the Table to Sec.  165.506.

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

    One safety zone was removed from 33 CFR 165.506, specifically, the 
fireworks display that took place over the Potomac River, near Newburg, 
MD.
    The rule revises 12 preexisting safety zones that involve change to 
event date(s) and coordinates. These revised safety zones are shown in 
Table 4, 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 commander on scene, as provided 
for in 33 CFR 165.23. This rule provides for the safety of life on 
navigable waters during the events.

D. 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.
    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 usually 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

[[Page 20421]]

events will typically 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 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 received no comments from the Small Business 
Administration on this rule. 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.
    (1) 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.
    (2) 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.

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

    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 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

[[Page 20422]]

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.
