SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
On April 15, 2008, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled, Safety Zones; Fireworks Displays within the Fifth
Coast Guard District in the Federal Register (73 FR 20223). On November
14, 2008, we published a Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking
(SNPRM) entitled Safety Zones; Fireworks Displays within the Fifth
Coast Guard District in the Federal Register (73 FR 67444). We received
two comments on the NPRM. No public meeting was requested, and none was
held.
Background and Purpose
In this rule, the Coast Guard revises the list of permanent safety
zones at 33 CFR 165.506, established for fireworks displays at various
locations within the geographic boundary of the Fifth Coast Guard
District. For a description of the geographical area of the Fifth
District and subordinate Coast Guard Sectors--Captain of the Port
Zones, please see 33 CFR 3.25. Currently there are 49 permanent safety
zones established for fireworks displays occurring throughout the year
that are held on an annual basis and normally in one of these 49
locations.
The Coast Guard revision of the list of permanent safety zones at
33 CFR 165.506, established for fireworks displays, adds 24 new
locations and modifies five previously established locations within the
geographic
[[Page 15846]]
boundary of the Fifth Coast Guard District. This rule increases the
total number of permanent safety zones to 73 locations for fireworks
displays within the boundary of the Fifth Coast Guard District.
This rule adds 24 new safety zone locations to the permanent safety
zones listed in 33 CFR 165.506. The new safety zones are listed in the
following table.
Table of Newly Established Fireworks Safety Zones
1. Delaware River, Chester, PA
2. North Atlantic Ocean Avalon, NJ
3. Barnegat Bay, Barnegat Township, NJ
4. North Atlantic Ocean, Cape May, NJ
5. Great Egg Harbor Inlet, Margate City, NJ
6. Metedeconk River, Brick Township, NJ
7. North Atlantic Ocean, Ocean City, NJ
8. North Atlantic Ocean, Bethany Beach, DE
9. Baltimore Inner Harbor, Patapsco River, MD
10. Anacostia River, Washington, D.C.
11. Potomac River, Charles County, MD
12. Potomac River, National Harbor, MD
13. Patuxent River, Calvert County, MD
14. Patuxent River, Solomons Island, Calvert County, MD
15. Appomattox River, Hopewell, VA
16. John H. Kerr Reservoir, Clarksville, VA
17. Chesapeake Bay, Hampton, VA
18. Atlantic Ocean, Virginia Beach, VA, Safety Zone. B
19. Atlantic Ocean, Virginia Beach, VA, Safety Zone. C
20. Nansemond River, Suffolk, VA
21. James River, Williamsburg, VA
22. Edenton Bay, Edenton, NC
23. Motts Channel, Banks Channel, Wrightsville Beach, NC
24. New River, Jacksonville, NC
This rule modifies five previously established safety zones at the
following locations: Potomac River, Charles County, MD; Northwest
Harbor (West Channel) Patapsco River, MD; Delaware River, Essington,
PA; Atlantic Ocean, Virginia Beach, VA, safety zone A; and Cape Fear
River, Wilmington, NC.
The Coast Guard typically receives numerous applications in these
areas for fireworks displays. Previously a temporary safety zone was
usually established on an emergency basis for each display. This
limited the opportunity for public comment. Establishing permanent
safety zones through notice and comment rulemaking provides the public
the opportunity to comment on the zone locations, size and length of
time the zones will be enforced.
Each year organizations within the Fifth Coast Guard District
sponsor fireworks displays in the same general location and time
period. Each event uses a barge or an on-shore site near the shoreline
as the fireworks launch platform. A safety zone is used to control
vessel movement within a specified distance surrounding the launch
platforms to ensure the safety of persons and property. Coast Guard
personnel on scene may allow persons within the safety zone if
conditions permit.
The Coast Guard will publish notices in the Federal Register if an
event sponsor reports a change to the listed event venue or date. In
the case of inclement weather the event usually will be conducted on
the day following the date listed in the Table to Sec. 165.506. Coast
Guard Captains of the Port will give notice of the enforcement of each
safety zone by all appropriate means to provide the widest publicity
among the affected segments of the public. This will include
publication in the Local Notice to Mariners and Marine Information
Broadcasts. Marine information and facsimile broadcasts may also be
made for these events, 24 to 48 hours before the event is scheduled to
begin, to notify the public. The public will also be notified about
many of the listed marine events by local newspapers, radio and
television stations. The various methods of notification provided by
the Coast Guard and local community media outlets will facilitate
informing mariners so they can adjust their plans accordingly.
Fireworks barges or launch sites on land used in the locations
stated in this rulemaking shall display a sign. The sign will be
affixed to the port and starboard side of the barge or mounted on a
post 3 feet above ground level when on land and in close proximity to
the shoreline facing the water labeled ``FIREWORKS--DANGER--STAY
AWAY''. This will provide on scene notice that the safety zone is, or
will, be enforced on that day. This notice will consist of a diamond
shaped sign, 4 foot by 4 foot, with a 3-inch orange retro-reflective
border. The word ``DANGER'' shall be 10 inch black block letters
centered on the sign with the words ``FIREWORKS'' and ``STAY AWAY'' in
6 inch black block letters placed above and below the word ``DANGER''
respectively on a white background. There will also be a Coast Guard
patrol vessel on scene 30 minutes before the display is scheduled to
start until 30 minutes after its completion to enforce the safety zone.
The enforcement period for these safety zones is from 5:30 p.m. to
1 a.m. local time. However, vessels may enter, remain in, or transit
through these safety zones during this timeframe if authorized by the
Captain of the Port or designated Coast Guard patrol personnel on
scene, as provided for in 33 CFR 165.23.
This rule is necessary to protect the safety of life and property
on navigable waters during these fireworks events and provides the
marine community information on safety zone locations, size, and length
of time the zones will be active.
Discussion of Comments and Changes
The Coast Guard received two comments in response to the NPRM which
were addressed in the SNPRM published in the Federal Register. The
first comment, from the North Carolina Department of Environment and
Natural Resources, Division of Coastal Management letter of December 2,
2008 addressed a revision to the Cape Fear River safety zone.
Specifically, the New Hanover County, NC Fire Rescue expressed concern
that the safety zone, as proposed for Cape Fear River, did not meet the
county's fire code. The Coast Guard submitted a revised fireworks
safety zone for the Cape Fear River location that was subsequently
approved by New Hanover County and Fire Rescue. This change is included
in this rule.
The second comment was submitted by the Virginia Department of
Environmental Quality, Federal Consistency Coordinator. They suggested
that the Atlantic Ocean, Virginia Beach Safety zone be relocated
northward of the 14th street Fishing Pier into the vicinity of 17th
street. The change was made in this final rule.
Lastly, the Coast Guard revised the safety zone for (b.)24,
Anacostia River, Washington, DC. The safety zone was moved
approximately 500 yards southeast of the shoreline near Washington
Nationals Ball Park to accommodate a barge launch platform. This change
was made in the interest of enhancing safety by increasing the
pyrotechnic fallout area over the Anacostia River.
The Coast Guard is establishing 73 safety zones on the specified
waters listed within the Table to Sec. 165.506.
Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.
[[Page 15847]]
Regulatory Planning and Review
This 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 rule to be so minimal that a
full Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary. This finding is based on the
short amount of time that vessels would be restricted from the zones,
and the small zone sizes positioned in low vessel traffic areas.
Vessels would not be precluded from getting underway, or mooring at any
piers or marinas currently located in the vicinity of the safety zones.
Advance notifications would also be made to the local maritime
community by issuing Local Notice to Mariners, Marine information and
facsimile broadcasts so mariners may adjust their plans accordingly.
Notifications to the public for most events will usually be made by
local newspapers, radio and TV stations. The Coast Guard anticipates
that these safety zones will only be enforced two to three times per
year.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this 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 rule will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities. This rule will affect the following entities, some of which
may be small entities: The owners and operators of vessels intending to
transit or anchor in the established safety zones during the times
these zones are enforced.
This rule will impact mariners desiring to transit the area
identified as a safety zone during the times identified within this
final rule. The safety zones identified in this final rule will not
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities for the following reasons: The enforcement period will be
short in duration, and in many of the zones vessels will be able to
transit safely around the safety zones. Further, those seeking
permission to enter the zone may contact the appropriate Captain of the
Port or designated Coast Guard patrol personnel on scene to gain entry
into the zone. Lastly, before the enforcement period, we will issue
maritime advisories widely so as to allow mariners to plan accordingly.
Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), in the NPRM and in the SNPRM we
offered to assist small entities in understanding the rule so that they
could better evaluate its effects on them and participate in the
rulemaking process.
Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). 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 rule calls 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 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 rule will not result in such an expenditure, we
do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble.
Taking of Private Property
This rule will 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 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 rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.
Indian Tribal Governments
This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does 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 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
[[Page 15848]]
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 rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.
Environment
We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 0023.1 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
this action is one of a category of actions which do not individually
or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment.
This rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph
(34)(g) of the Instruction, from further environmental documentation.
This rule fits the category selected from paragraph (34)(g), as it
would establish 73 safety zones.
An environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES.

Sec. 165.506 Safety Zones; Fifth Coast Guard District Fireworks
Displays.
(a) Regulations. The following regulations apply to the fireworks
safety zones listed in the Table to Sec. 165.506.
(1) The general regulations contained in 33 CFR 165.23 apply.
(2) These regulations will be enforced annually, for the duration
of each fireworks event listed in the Table to Sec. 165.506. In the
case of inclement weather the event may be conducted on the day
following the date listed in the Table to Sec. 165.506. Annual notice
of the exact dates and times of the enforcement period of the
regulation with respect to each safety zone, the geographical area, and
other details concerning the nature of the fireworks event will be
published in Local Notices to Mariners and transmitted via Broadcast
Notice to Mariners over VHF-FM marine band radio.
(3) All persons and vessels shall comply with the instructions of
the Coast Guard Captain of the Port or the designated on-scene-patrol
personnel. Those personnel are comprised of commissioned, warrant, and
petty officers of the U.S. Coast Guard. Other Federal, State and local
agencies may assist these personnel in the enforcement of the safety
zone. Upon being hailed by a U.S. Coast Guard vessel by siren, radio,
flashing light or other means, the operator of a vessel shall proceed
as directed.
(b) Notification. (1) Fireworks barges and launch sites on land
that operate within the regulated areas contained in the Table to Sec.
165.506 will have a sign affixed to the port and starboard side of the
barge, or mounted on a post 3 feet above ground level when on land
immediately adjacent to the shoreline and facing the water labeled
``FIREWORKS--DANGER--STAY AWAY''. This will provide on scene notice
that the safety zone will be enforced on that day. This notice will
consist of a diamond shaped sign 4 feet by 4 feet with a 3-inch orange
retro reflective border. The word ``DANGER'' shall be 10-inch black
block letters centered on the sign with the words ``FIREWORKS'' and
``STAY AWAY'' in 6-inch black block letters placed above and below the
word ``DANGER'' respectively on a white background.
(2) Coast Guard Captains of the Port in the Fifth Coast Guard
District will notify the public of the enforcement of these safety
zones by all appropriate means to effect the widest publicity among the
affected segments of the public. Publication in the Local Notice to
Mariners, marine information broadcasts, and facsimile broadcasts may
be made for these events, beginning 24 to 48 hours before the event is
scheduled to begin, to notify the public. The public may also be
notified about many of the listed marine events by local newspapers,
radio and television stations. The various methods of notification
provided by the Coast Guard and local community media outlets will
facilitate informing mariners so they can adjust their plans
accordingly.
(c) Contact Information. Questions about safety zones and related
events should be addressed to the local Coast Guard Captain of the Port
for the area in which the event is occurring. Contact information is
listed below. For a description of the geographical area of each Coast
