33 CFR Part 100

[Docket Number USCG-2021-0873]
RIN 1625-AA08


Special Local Regulations; Sector Ohio Valley Annual and 
Recurring Special Local Regulations, Update

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes amending and updating its special 
local regulations for recurring marine parades, regattas, and other 
events that take place in the Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley's Area of 
Responsibility (AOR). This proposed rule would update the current list 
of recurring special local regulations with revisions, additions, and 
removals of events that no longer take place in the Sector Ohio 
Valley's AOR. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast 
Guard on or before January 7, 2022.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2021-0873 using the Federal Decision Making 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 
[email protected].

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    The Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley (COTP) proposes to 
update the current list of recurring special local regulations found in 
Table 1 of Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) section 
100.801 for events occurring within the Sector Ohio Valley's Area of 
Responsibility (AOR) within the Coast Guard's Eighth District.
    This proposed rule would update the list of annually recurring 
special local regulations under 33 CFR 100.801, Table 1, for annual 
special local regulations in the Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. The Coast 
Guard will address all comments via the rulemaking process, including 
additional revisions to this regulatory section. Additionally, the 
public would be informed of these recurring events through local means 
and planned by the local communities. The current list of annual and 
recurring special local regulations occurring in Sector Ohio Valley's 
AOR is published in 33 CFR 100.801, Table 1 titled ``Annual Marine 
Events in the Eighth Coast Guard District''. The most recent list was 
published via the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (86 FR 10894) on 
February 23, 2021.
    The Coast Guard's authority for establishing a special local 
regulation is contained in 46 U.S.C. 70041(a). The Coast Guard proposes 
to amend and update the special local regulations in 33 CFR 100.801, 
Table 1, to include the most up to date list of recurring special local 
regulations for events held on or around the navigable waters within 
Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. These events would include marine parades, 
boat races, swim events, and other marine related events. The current 
list under 33 CFR 100.801, Table 1, requires amendment to provide new 
information on existing special local regulations, add new special 
local regulations expected to recur annually or biannually, and to 
remove special local regulations that no longer occur. Issuing 
individual regulations for each new special local regulation, 
amendment, or removal of an existing special local regulation creates 
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 recurring special local regulations in the AOR.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    Part 100 of title 33 of the CFR contains regulations describing 
regattas and marine parades conducted on the U.S. navigable waters in 
order to ensure the safety of life in the regulated areas. Section 
100.801 of the title provides the regulations applicable to events 
taking place in the Eighth Coast Guard District and also provides a 
table listing each event and special local regulations. This section 
requires amendment from time to time to properly reflect the recurring 
special local regulations. This proposed rule would update section 
100.801, Table 1 titled ``Annual Marine Events in the Eighth Coast 
Guard District.''
    This proposed rule would add 5 new recurring special local 
regulation to Table 1 to Sec.  100.801 for Sector Ohio Valley, as 
follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 Date                       Event/sponsor         Ohio Valley location        Regulated area

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


[[Page 69603]]

    This proposed rule would amend 1 new recurring special local 
regulation to Table 1 to Sec.  100.801 for Sector Ohio Valley, as 
follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 Date                       Event/sponsor         Ohio Valley location        Regulated area
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
69.3 days--One of the first three      Fleur de Lis Regatta...  Louisville, KY.........  Ohio River, Miles
 weekends in September.                                                                   594.0.0-598.0
                                                                                          (Kentucky).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The effect of this proposed rule would be to restrict general 
navigation during these events. Vessels intending to transit the 
designated waterways during effective periods of the special local 
regulations would only be allowed to transit the area when the COTP or 
or designated representative, has deemed it would safe to do so or at 
the completion of the event.

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 special local regulations limiting 
access to certain areas described in 33 CFR 100.801, Table 1. The 
effect of this proposed rulemaking would not be significant because 
these special local regulations are limited in scope and duration. 
Additionally, the public would be given advance notification through 
local forms of notice, the Federal Register, and/or Notices of 
Enforcement. Thus, the public would be able to plan their operations 
and activities around enforcement times of the special local 
regulations. The COTP would issue Broadcast Notices to Mariners, Local 
Notices to Mariners, and Safety Marine Information Broadcasts, as 
appropriate, to inform the community of these special local 
regulations. Vessel traffic would be permitted to request permission 
from the COTP or a designated representative to enter the restricted 
areas.

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 
regulated area may be small entities, for reasons stated in section 
IV.A. above, this proposed rule would not have a significant economic 
impact on any owner or operator because they are limited in scope and 
will be in effect for short periods of time.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental 
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this proposed 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 proposed 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 potential effects of 
this proposed 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

[[Page 69604]]

that this action is one of a category of actions that do not 
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human 
environment. Normally such actions are categorically excluded from 
further review under paragraph L61 of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS 
Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. of the Instruction because it 
involves establishment of special local regulations related to marine 
event permits for marine parades, regattas, and other marine events. 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.
