II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    Swim events, fireworks displays, and marine events are held on an 
annual recurring basis on the navigable waters within the Coast Guard 
Sector Long Island Sound COTP Zone. The Coast Guard has established 
special local regulations and safety zones for some of these annually 
recurring events on a

[[Page 22050]]

case by case basis to ensure the protection of the maritime public and 
event participants from potential hazards.
    The COTP Sector Long Island Sound proposes to amend 33 CFR 100.100 
Special Local Regulations; Regattas and Boat Races in the Coast Guard 
Sector Long Island Sound Captain of the Port Zone, Table to Sec.  
100.100 and 33 CFR 165.151 Safety Zones; Fireworks Displays, Air Shows, 
and Swim Events in the Captain of the Port Long Island Sound Zone, 
Table 1 to Sec.  165.151.
    The marine events listed therein include air shows, fireworks 
displays, and other marine related events requiring a limited access 
area restricting vessel traffic for safety purposes. The proposed 
amendments to the tables will more accurately reflect the dates of 
marine events based on historical occurences.
    Issuing individual regulations for each new safety zone, amendment, 
or removal of an existing safety zone due to minor date fluctuations 
creates unnecessary administrative costs and burdens. This single 
proposed rulemaking will considerably reduce administrative overhead 
and provide the public with notice through publication in the Federal 
Register of the upcoming recurring safety zone regulations. Event 
sponsors desiring to hold an event not listed in the table for the 
Sector Long Island Sound area of responsibility may seek permission for 
a regulated area for their event through a request to the phone number 
or email listed in the above FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.
    The purpose of this rulemaking is to ensure the safety of vessels 
and the navigable waters before, during, and after a scheduled event. 
The Coast Guard is proposing this rulemaking under authority in 46 
U.S.C. 70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231).
    The Coast Guard encourages the public to participate in this 
proposed rulemaking through the comment process so that any necessary 
changes can be identified and implemented in a timely and efficient 
manner. The Coast Guard will address all public comments accordingly, 
whether through response, additional revision to the regulation, or 
otherwise.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    Parts 100 and 165 of 33 CFR contain regulations establishing 
special local regulations and safety zones to restrict vessel traffic 
for the safety of persons and property. Section 100.100 establishes 
Special Local Regulations to ensure the safety and security of marine 
related events, participants, and spectators in the Sector Long Island 
Sound AOR. From time to time, these sections require amendment to 
properly advertise the recurring safety zones in the Sector Long Island 
Sound AOR.
    The Coast Guard proposes to revise regulations in 33 CFR 100.100 
Special Local Regulations; Regattas and Boat Races in the Coast Guard 
Sector Long Island Sound Captain of the Port Zone, Table to Sec.  
100.100 as indicated below. The amendments would involve changes to the 
cited dates of seven events listed in the table. The amendments are as 
follows:

    The effect of this proposed rule would be to restrict general 
navigation in the safety zones during these events. Vessels intending 
to transit the designated waterway through the safety zones will only 
be allowed to transit the area when COTP or a designated representative 
has deemed it safe to do so or at the completion of the events. The 
proposed annually recurring safety zones are necessary to provide for 
the safety of life on navigable waters of the U.S. during the events.

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 safety zones. These safety zones are 
limited in size and duration, and are usually positioned away from high 
vessel traffic areas. Moreover, the Coast Guard would issue a Broadcast 
Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16 about the zones and the 
rule would allow vessels to seek permission to enter the zones. Vessel 
traffic would also be able to request permission from the COTP or a 
designated representative to enter the restricted 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 
these safety zones 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 call or email 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 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 call or email 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, Rev. 1, associated implementing 
instructions, 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 amending 
the dates of events that are already listed in 33 CFR 100.100 and 33 
CFR 165.151 and removing listed events from 33 CFR 165.151. Normally 
such actions are categorically excluded from further review under 
paragraph L60b and L61 of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 
023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. We seek any comments or

[[Page 22056]]

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 call or email 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

    We view public participation as essential to effective rulemaking, 
and will consider all comments and material received during the comment 
period. Your comment can help shape the outcome of this rulemaking. If 
you submit a comment, please include the docket number for this 
rulemaking, indicate the specific section of this document to which
