33 CFR Part 100

[Docket Number USCG-2018-0749]
RIN 1625-AA08


Special Local Regulations; Recurring Marine Events, Sector Miami

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to revise existing regulations and 
consolidate into one table special local regulations for recurring 
marine events at various locations within the geographic boundaries of 
the Seventh Coast Guard District Captain of the Port (COTP) Miami Zone. 
Consolidating marine events into one table simplifies Coast Guard 
oversight and public notification of special local regulations within 
COTP Miami Zone. The Coast Guard invites your comments on this proposed 
rulemaking.

[[Page 52412]]


DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast 
Guard on or before November 1, 2019.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2018-0749 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for 
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further 
instructions on submitting comments.

proposed rulemaking, call or email Omar Beceiro, Sector Miami Waterways 
Management Division, U.S. Coast Guard; telephone 305-535-4317, email

NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    Recurring races, swims, and other marine events within the Seventh 
Coast Guard District are currently listed in 33 CFR 100.701, Table to 
Sec.  100.701. The process for amending the table (e.g., adding or 
removing marine events) is lengthy and inefficient since it includes 
recurring marine events for seven different COTP zones within the 
Seventh District. To expedite and simplify the rule-making process for 
new marine events/special local regulations, COTP's resorted to 
creating individual rules rather than amending Table to Sec.  100.701.
    This rule serves two purposes: (1) Create a table of recurring 
marine events/special local regulations occurring solely within the 
COTP Miami Zone, and (2) consolidate into that table marine events/
special local regulations previously established outside of Table to 
Sec.  100.701. The resultant table would facilitate management of and 
public access to information about marine events within the COTP Miami 
Zone.
    The Coast Guard proposes this rulemaking under authority in 46 
U.S.C. 70041.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    This rulemaking proposes to make the following changes:
    1. Establish 33 CFR 100.702 Special Local Regulations; Marine 
Events Within the Captain of the Port Miami;
    2. Move existing marine events/special local regulations from Table 
to Sec.  100.701 under (a) COTP Zone Miami; Special Local Regulations 
(33 CFR 100.701) to new Table to Sec.  100.702;
    3. Move 33 CFR 100.723 Special Local Regulation; Fort Lauderdale 
Grand Prix of the Seas; Fort Lauderdale, FL to Table to Sec.  100.702, 
and delete existing Sec.  100.723;
    4. Move 33 CFR 100.726, Special Local Regulation; Fort Lauderdale 
Air Show; Atlantic Ocean, Fort Lauderdale, FL to Table to Sec.  
100.702, and delete existing Sec.  100.726;
    5. Revise Special Local Regulation; Fort Lauderdale Air Show; 
Atlantic Ocean, Fort Lauderdale, FL dates to ``One weekend in May 
(Friday, Saturday, and Sunday)'' in Table to Sec.  100.702;
    6. Move 33 CFR 100.729, Columbus Day Regatta, Biscayne Bay, Miami, 
FL to Table to Sec.  100.702, and delete existing Sec.  100.729; and
    7. Add Miami Beach Air and Sea Show (new) to Table to Sec.  
100.702.
    Marine events are listed as occurring over a particular weekend and 
month each year. Exact dates are intentionally omitted since calendar 
dates for a specific weekend change from year to year. Once dates for a 
marine event are known, the Coast Guard notifies the public it intends 
to enforce the special local regulation through various means including 
a Notice of Enforcement published in the Federal Register, Local Notice 
to Mariners, and Broadcast Notice to Mariners.

IV. 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 and Executive orders and 
we discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the 
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if 
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize 
net benefits. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control 
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This NPRM has not been 
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 
12866. Accordingly, the NPRM has not been reviewed by the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt 
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size, 
location, and duration of the special local regulations. These areas 
are limited in size and duration, and usually do not affect high vessel 
traffic areas. Moreover, the Coast Guard would provide advance notice 
of the regulated areas to the local maritime community by Local Notice 
to Mariners, Broadcast to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16, and 
the rule would allow vessels to seek permission to enter the regulated 
area.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 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.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the 
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section 
IV.A above, this proposed rule would not have a significant economic 
impact on any vessel owner or operator.
    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.
    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 
section. 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.

C. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would not call for a new collection of 
information under

[[Page 52413]]

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    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 
have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism 
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order 
13132.
    Also, 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. If 
you believe this proposed rule has implications for federalism or 
Indian tribes, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER 
INFORMATION CONTACT section.

E. 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 rule 
elsewhere in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland 
Security Directive 023-01 and Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 
(series), which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National 
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (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 the 
establishment of special local regulations for recurring marine events 
within the COTP Miami Zone. Normally such actions are categorically 
excluded from further review under paragraphs L61 in Table 3-1 of U.S. 
Coast Guard Environmental Planning Implementing Procedures 5090.1. A 
preliminary Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this 
determination is available in the docket where indicated in ADDRESSES. 
We seek any comments or information that may lead to the discovery of a 
significant environmental impact from this proposed rule.

G. 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.

V. Public Participation and Request for Comments

Sec.  100.702  Special Local Regulations; Marine Events Within the 
Captain of the Port Miami.

    The following regulations apply to the marine events listed in 
Table 1 of this section. These regulations will be effective annually 
for the duration listed in Table 1. The Coast Guard will notify the 
maritime community of exact dates and times each regulation will be in 
effect and the nature of each event (e.g., location, number of 
participants, type of vessels involved, etc.) through a Notice of 
Enforcement published in the Federal Register, Local Notice to 
Mariners, and Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
    (a) Definitions. The following definitions apply to this section:
    (1) Designated Representative. The term ``Designated 
Representative'' means Coast Guard Patrol Commanders, including Coast 
Guard coxswains, petty officers, others operating Coast Guard vessels, 
and federal, state, and local officers designated by or assisting the 
Captain of the Port (COTP) Miami in the enforcement of the regulated 
areas.
    (2) Spectators. All persons and vessels not registered with the 
event sponsor as participants.
    (b) Event Patrol. The Coast Guard may assign an event patrol, as 
described in Sec.  100.40 of this part, to each regulated event listed 
in the table. Additionally, a Patrol Commander may be assigned to 
oversee the patrol. The event patrol and Patrol Commander may be 
contacted on VHF Channel 16.
    (c) Special Local Regulations. (1) The COTP Miami 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 in 
these areas shall immediately comply with the directions given. Failure 
to do so may result in removal from the area, citation for failure to 
comply, or both.
    (2) The COTP Miami or Designated Representative may terminate the 
event, or the operation of any vessel participating in the event, at 
any time it is deemed necessary for the protection of life or property.
    (3) Only event sponsor designated participants and official patrol 
vessels are allowed to enter the regulated area, unless otherwise 
authorized by the COTP Miami or Designated Representative.
    (4) Spectators may request permission from the COTP Miami or 
Designated Representative to enter, transit, remain within, or anchor 
in the regulated area. If permission is granted, spectators must abide 
by the directions of the COTP Miami or a Designated Representative.
    (c) The COTP Miami or Designated Representative may delay or 
terminate any event in this subpart at any time to ensure safety of 
life or property. Such action may be justified as a result of weather, 
traffic density, spectator operation, or participant behavior.
