33 CFR Parts 100 and 165
[Docket No. USCG-2010-0110]
RIN 1625-AA08; AA01
Special Local Regulations and Safety Zones; Recurring Events in
Northern New England
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to amend special local regulations
and to establish permanent safety zones in the Coast Guard Northern New
England Captain of the Port Zone for annual recurring marine events.
When these special local regulations or safety zones are activated, and
thus subject to enforcement, this rule would restrict vessels from
portions of water areas during annual events listed in TABLES 1 and 2
that pose a hazard to public safety. The revised special local
regulations and safety zones are proposed to reduce administrative
overhead, expedite public notification of events, and to ensure the
protection of the maritime public and event participants from the
hazards associated with firework displays, boat races, and other marine
events.
DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before February 10, 2011. Requests for public meetings must
be received by the Coast Guard on or before February 1, 2011.

Basis and Purpose
Marine events are annually held on a recurring basis on the
navigable waters within the Coast Guard Northern New England Captain of
the Port Zone. These events include sailing regattas, powerboat races,
rowboat races, parades, swim events, and fireworks displays. In the
past, the Coast Guard has established special local regulations and
regulated navigation areas for these events on a case by case basis to
ensure the protection of the maritime public and event participants
from the hazards associated with these marine events. Issuing
individual regulations annually has proved to be administratively
cumbersome.
This proposed rule will significantly relieve administrative
overhead and consistently apprise the public in a timely manner through
permanent publication in Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
The TABLES in this proposed regulation list each recurring marine event
requiring a regulated area as administered by the Coast Guard.
By establishing permanent regulations for these events, the Coast
Guard will eliminate the need to establish temporary rules for events
that occur on an annual basis. This provides opportunity for the public
to comment while limiting the unnecessary burden of continually
establishing temporary rules every year. Some of the events discussed
below are duplicated in 33 CFR 100.114, a citation that no longer meets
the Coast Guard's intended purposes. While 33 CFR part 100 is designed
for Regattas and Marine Parades, 33 CFR part 165 is for Regulated
Navigation Areas and Limited Access Areas. The Coast Guard has
identified a number of events in 33 CFR part 100 which would be more
appropriately located in 33 CFR part 165. This rulemaking will amend
local regulations for events already contained in 33 CFR part 100 both
to update event information as well as to move firework displays to
part 165, a citation that better meets the Coast Guard's intended
purpose of ensuring safety during these events.
In addition, the Coast Guard has promulgated safety zones or
special local regulations for all of these 52 areas in the past, and
has not received public comments or concerns regarding the impact to
waterway traffic from these annually recurring events.
Discussion of Proposed Rule
The Coast Guard proposes to remove sections 33 CFR 100.107,
100.108, 100.109, 100.110, 100.111, 100.118, to revise 33 CFR 100.114,
and to add 33 CFR 100.120, and 33 CFR 165.171. The proposed changes
will effectively remove six outdated special local regulations and
establish 52 new permanent regulated areas. The proposed rule will
apply to each recurring marine event listed in the attached TABLES in
the Coast Guard Northern New England Captain of the Port Zone. The
TABLES provide the event name, sponsor, and type, as well as
approximate dates and locations of the events. Additionally, the
specific times, dates, regulated areas, and enforcement period for each
event will be provided in a Notice of Enforcement published in the
Federal Register and through Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast
Notice to Mariners prior to each event. The particular size of the
[[Page 1570]]
safety zones established for each event will be reevaluated on an
annual basis in accordance with Navigational and Vessel Inspection
Circular (NVIC) 07-02, Marine Safety at Firework Displays, the National
Fire Protection Association Standard 1123, Code for Fireworks Displays
(100-foot distance per inch of diameter of the fireworks mortars), and
other pertinent regulations and publications.
This proposed regulation would prevent vessels from transiting
areas specifically designated as special local regulations or safety
zones during the periods of enforcement to ensure the protection of the
maritime public and event participants from the hazards associated with
listed marine events. Only event sponsors, designated participants, and
official patrol vessels will be allowed to enter safety zones and
special local regulation areas. Spectators and other vessels not
registered as event participants may not enter the regulated areas
without the permission of the Captain of the Port or his assigned
representatives.
Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed 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.
Regulatory Planning and Review
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. Although this
regulation may have some impact on the public, the potential impact
will be minimized for the following reasons: vessels will only be
restricted from safety zones and special local regulation areas for a
short duration of time unless otherwise noted; vessels may transit in
all portions of the affected waterway except for those areas covered by
the proposed zones; the Coast Guard has promulgated safety zones or
special local regulations in accordance with 33 CFR parts 100 and 165
for all event areas in the past and has not received notice of any
negative impact caused by any of the safety zones or special local
regulations; and notifications will also be made to the local maritime
community by the Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to
Mariners well in advance of the events. The effect of this proposed
action simply establishes the approximate dates on which the existing
regulations would be enforced and consolidates them within one
regulation. No new or additional restrictions will be imposed on vessel
traffic.
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: owners or operators of
vessels intending to transit, fish, or anchor in the areas where marine
events are being held. For the reasons outlined in the Regulatory
Planning and Review section above, this rule would not have a
significant impact on a substantial number of small entities.
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 proposed 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 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this proposed rule would not
result in such 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 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
[[Page 1571]]
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) 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 Department of Homeland
Security Management Directive 023-01 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 made a preliminary determination that this action appears to be
one of a category of actions which do not individually or cumulatively
have a significant effect on the human environment.
A preliminary environmental analysis checklist supporting this
determination is available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES. This proposed rule involves safety zones and special local
regulations concerning water activities including boat regattas,
parades and races, swimming events, and fireworks displays. This rule
appears to be categorically excluded, under paragraphs (34)(g) and
34(h) of the Instruction.
We seek any comments or information that may lead to the discovery
of a significant environmental impact from this proposed rule.

Commander approval. Vessels permitted to transit must operate at a no
wake speed, in a manner which will not endanger participants or other
crafts in the event.
(c) Spectators or other vessels shall not anchor, block, loiter, or
impede the transit of event participants or official patrol vessels in
the regulated areas during the effective dates and times, or dates and
times as modified through the Local Notice to Mariners, unless
authorized by an official patrol vessel.
(d) The Patrol Commander may control the movement of all vessels in
the regulated area. When hailed or signaled by an official patrol
vessel, a vessel shall come to an immediate stop and comply with the
lawful directions issued. Failure to comply with a lawful direction may
result in expulsion from the area, citation for failure to comply, or
both.
(e) The Patrol Commander may delay or terminate any marine event in
this subpart at any time it is deemed necessary to ensure the safety of
life or property.
(f) For all power boat races listed, vessels operating within the
