DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
Coast Guard
33 CFR Part 100
[Docket No. CGD07-07-102]
RIN 1625-AA08
Special Local Regulations; Recurring Marine Events in the Seventh
Coast Guard District
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to create special local regulations
to regulate recurring marine events in the Seventh Coast Guard
District. These regulations will apply to all permitted events listed
on the table attached to the regulation, and include events such as
regattas, parades, and fireworks displays. These regulations are being
proposed to reduce the Coast Guard's administrative workload and
expedite public notification of events.
DATES: Comments and related material must reach the Coast Guard on or
before December 13, 2007.
ADDRESSES: You may mail comments and related material to Commander,
U.S. Coast Guard Seventh District (dpi), 909 SE 1st Ave, Miami, FL
33131-3050. The Seventh District Prevention Division maintains the
public docket for this rulemaking. Comments and material received from
the public, as well as documents indicated in this preamble as being
available in the docket, will become part of this docket and will be
available for inspection or copying at the Brickell Plaza Federal
Building, Miami, FL, between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Monday through
Friday, except Federal holidays.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: LT Clint Smith, U.S. Coast Guard
District Seven Prevention Division, (305) 415-6860.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Request for Comments
We encourage you to participate in this rulemaking by submitting
comments and related material. If you do so, please include your name
and address, identify the docket number for this rulemaking CGD07-07-
102, indicate the specific section of this document to which each
comment applies, and give the reason for each comment. Please submit
all comments and related material in an unbound format, no larger than
8\1/2\ by 11 inches, suitable for copying. If you would like to know
they reached us, please enclose a stamped, self-addressed postcard or
envelope. We will consider all comments and material received during
the comment period. We may change this proposed rule in view of them.
Public Meeting
We do not now plan to hold a public meeting. But you may submit a
request for a meeting by writing to the U.S. Coast Guard District Seven
Prevention Division at the address under ADDRESSES explaining why one
would be beneficial. If we determine that one would aid this
rulemaking, we will hold one at a time and place announced by a later
notice in the Federal Register.
Background and Purpose
Marine events are frequently held on the navigable waters within
the boundary of the Seventh Coast Guard District. These include events
such as sailing regattas, holiday parades, and fireworks displays.
Currently, there are over 250 annually recurring marine events and many
other non-recurring events within the district. In the past, the Coast
Guard regulated these events by creating individual special local
regulations on a case by case basis. Most of these events required only
the establishment of a regulated area and assignment of a patrol
commander to ensure safety. Issuing individual, annual special local
regulations has created a significant administrative burden on the
Coast Guard. In 2005, the Coast Guard created over 60 temporary
regulations for marine events in the Seventh District. That number rose
to over 110 in 2006 and is expected to rise even higher in 2007.
Additionally, for the majority of these events, the Coast Guard
does not receive notification of the event, or important details of the
event are not finalized by event organizers, with sufficient time to
publish a notice of proposed rulemaking and final rule before the event
date. The Coast Guard must therefore create temporary final rules that
sometimes are not completed until only days before the event. This
results in delayed notification to the public, potentially placing the
public and event participants at risk.
This proposed rule will significantly relieve the administrative
burden on the Coast Guard, and at the same time allow the sponsor of
the event and the Coast Guard to notify the public of these events in a
timely manner. The public will be provided with notice of events
through the table attached to this regulation. This table lists each
recurring event that may be regulated by the Coast Guard, and indicates
the
[[Page 63840]]
sponsor, as well as the date and location of the event. Because the
dates and location of these events may change slightly from year to
year, the specific information on each event, including the exact
dates, specific areas, and description of the regulated area, will be
provided to the public through a Local Notice to Mariners published
before the event, as well as through Broadcast Notice to Mariners. This
table will be updated by the Coast Guard periodically to add new
recurring events, remove events that no longer occur, and update listed
events to ensure accurate information is provided.
Discussion of Proposed Rule
This proposed rule will apply to each event listed in the attached
table to this rule. Events listed in the table are events that recur
annually in the Seventh Coast Guard District. The table provides the
event name and sponsor, as well as an approximate date and location of
the event. The specific date and regulated area for each event will be
provided in a Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners
prior to each event. Some events listed in the table currently have
permanent regulations published in 33 CFR part 100, and these
regulations will be removed.
For each event listed in the table, an event patrol, with a Patrol
Commander in charge may be assigned. The Patrol Commander may control
the movement of all vessels in the regulated area(s). 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 expulsion from the area, citation for failure to comply, or
both. The Coast Guard Patrol Commander 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.
Only event sponsors, designated participants, and official patrol
vessels are allowed to enter a regulated area. All persons and vessels
not registered with the event sponsor as participants or official
patrol vessels are considered spectators. Spectators may not enter the
regulated area and may be confined to a designated spectator area to
view the event. Spectators may contact the Coast Guard Patrol Commander
to request permission to pass through the regulated area. If permission
is granted, spectators must pass directly through the regulated area at
safe speed and without loitering.
Regulatory Evaluation
This proposed rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review,
and does not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits
under section 6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under that Order.
We expect the economic impact of this proposed rule to be so
minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this proposed rule would have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities. 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. This proposed rule would affect the following
entities, some of which might be small entities: The owners or
operators of vessels intending to transit or anchor in the areas where
marine events are being held. This proposed regulation will not have a
significant impact on a substantial number of small entities because it
will only be enforced on marine events that have been permitted by the
Coast Guard Captain of the Port. The Captain of the Port will ensure
that small entities are able to operate in the areas where events are
occurring. Additionally, in most cases, vessels will be able to safety
transit around the regulated area at all times, and, with the
permission of the Patrol Commander, vessels may transit through the
regulated area.
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.
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 proposed rule so that they can better
evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. 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 under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 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.
Collection of Information
This proposed rule would call for no new collection of information
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520.).
Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this proposed rule
under that Order and have determined that it does not have implications
for federalism.
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 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.
Taking of Private Property
This proposed rule would not effect a taking of private property or
otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630,
Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected
Property Rights.
Civil Justice Reform
This proposed 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.
Protection of Children
We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This rule is not an economically
[[Page 63841]]
significant rule and would not create an environmental risk to health
or risk to safety that might disproportionately affect children.
Indian Tribal Governments
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.
Energy Effects
We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13211,
Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.
Technical Standards
The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.
Environment
We have analyzed this proposed rule under Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD and Department of Homeland Security Management Directive
5100.1, which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA)(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have
made a preliminary determination that there are no factors in this case
that would limit the use of a categorical exclusion under section 2.B.2
of the Instruction. Therefore, we believe that this rule should be
categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(h), of the
Instruction, from further environmental documentation. This proposed
rule fits the category of paragraph 34(h) because it proposes to create
special local regulations for regattas and marine parades.
Under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(h), of the Instruction, an
``Environmental Analysis Check List'' is not required for this rule.
Comments on this section will be considered before we make the final
decision on whether to categorically exclude this rule from further
environmental review.
