Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2021-0014]
RIN 1625-AA00


Safety Zones; Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley Annual and Recurring 
Safety Zones

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to amend and update its list of 
recurring safety zone regulations that take place in the Coast Guard 
Sector Ohio Valley area of responsibility (AOR). Through this rule the 
current list of recurring safety zones is proposed to be updated with 
revisions, additional events, and removal of events that no longer take 
place. This proposed rule would reduce administrative costs involved in 
producing separate proposed rules for each individual recurring safety 
zone and serve to provide notice of the known recurring safety zones 
throughout the year. We invite your comments on this proposed 
rulemaking.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast 
Guard on or before March 26, 2021.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2021-0014 using the Federal

[[Page 11199]]

eRulemaking Portal at https://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public 
Participation and Request for Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY 
INFORMATION section for further instructions on submitting comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about this 
proposed rulemaking, call or email Petty Officer Christopher Roble, 
Sector Ohio Valley, U.S. Coast Guard; telephone (502)-779-5336, email 
SECOHV-WWM@uscg.mil.

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    The Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley (COTP) proposes to amend 
section 165.801 of Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to 
update our regulations for annual fireworks displays and other events 
in the Eighth Coast Guard District requiring safety zones with respect 
to those in Sector Ohio Valley.
    The current list of annual and recurring safety zones occurring in 
Sector Ohio Valley's area of responsibility (AOR) is published under 33 
CFR 165.801 in Table No. 1 for annual safety zones in the AOR. The most 
recent list was created June 2, 2020 through the rulemaking 85 FR 
33561.
    The Coast Guard proposes to amend and update the safety zone 
regulations under 33 CFR part 165 to include the most up to date list 
of recurring safety zones for events held on or around navigable waters 
within Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. These events include air shows, 
fireworks displays, and other marine related events requiring a limited 
access area restricting vessel traffic for safety purposes. The current 
list in 33 CFR 165.801 needs to be amended to provide new information 
on existing safety zones, and to include new safety zones expected to 
recur annually or biannually, and to remove safety zones that are no 
longer required. Issuing individual regulations for each new safety 
zone, amendment, or removal of an existing safety zone would create 
unnecessary administrative costs and burdens. This single proposed 
rulemaking would considerably reduce administrative overhead and 
provide the public with notice through publication in the Federal 
Register of the upcoming recurring safety zone regulations.
    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

    Part 165 of 33 CFR contains regulations establishing limited access 
areas to restrict vessel traffic for the safety of persons and 
property. Section 165.801 establishes recurring safety zones to 
restrict vessel transit into and through specified areas to protect 
spectators, mariners, and other persons and property from potential 
hazards presented during certain events taking place in the AOR. This 
section requires amendment from time to time to properly reflect the 
recurring safety zone regulations in the AOR. This proposed rule would 
amend and update Sec.  165.801 by revising the current Table 1.
    This proposed rule would add the following 2 safety zones to the 
existing Table 1 Sec.  165.801 as follows:

 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                Date                        Event/sponsor          Ohio Valley location       Regulated area
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 night in July....................  Steubenville fireworks.....  Steubenville, OH......  Ohio River Mile 67.5-
                                                                                           68.5.
A weekend in June..................  Alzheimer's Water Lantern    Wheeling, WV..........  Ohio River Mile 90.3-
                                      Festival/IC Care.                                    91.8.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The effect of this proposed rule would be to restrict general 
navigation in the safety zones during the events. Vessels intending to 
transit the designated waterway through the safety zones would only be 
allowed to transit the area when the COTP, or a designated 
representative, has deemed it safe to do so or at the completion of the 
event. The proposed annually recurring safety zones are necessary to 
provide for the safety of life on navigable waters 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. 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).
    The Coast Guard expects the economic impact of this proposed rule 
to be minimal, therefore a full regulatory evaluation is unnecessary. 
This proposed rule would establish safety zones limiting access to 
certain areas under 33 CFR part 165 within Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. 
The effect of this proposed rulemaking would not be significant because 
these safety zones would be limited in scope and duration. 
Additionally, the public would be given advance notification through 
the Federal Register, and/or Notices of Enforcement and, thus, will be 
able to plan operations around the safety zones. Broadcast Notices to 
Mariners, Local Notices to Mariners, and Safety Marine Information 
Broadcasts would inform the community of these safety zones. Vessel 
traffic would be allowed to request permission from the COTP or a 
designated representative to enter the restricted areas. Broadcast 
Notices to Mariners, Local Notices to Mariners, and Safety Marine 
Information Broadcasts would inform the community of these safety 
zones. Vessel traffic would be allowed to request permission from the 
COTP or a designated representative to enter the restricted areas.

[[Page 11200]]

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 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 would 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 would not individually or cumulatively have a significant 
effect on the human environment. Normally such actions are 
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L60(a) of 
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. A 
preliminary Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this 
determination is available in the docket. For instructions on locating 
the docket, see the ADDRESSES section of this preamble. 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 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.
