Special Local Regulations and Safety Zones; Recurring Events in 
Northern New England

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is amending special local regulations and 
establishing permanent safety zones in the Coast Guard Northern New 
England Captain of the Port (COTP) Zone for annual recurring marine 
events. When these special local regulations or safety zones are 
activated, and thus subject to enforcement, this rule restricts vessels 
from portions of water areas during annual events in the Northern New 
England COTP Zone. The revised special local regulations and safety 
zones reduce administrative overhead, expedite public notification of 
events, and ensure the protection of the maritime public and event 
participants from the hazards associated with firework displays, boat 
races, and other marine events.

DATES: This rule is effective April 29, 2011.

ADDRESSES: Comments and material received from the public, as well as 
documents mentioned in this preamble as being available in the docket,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    On Tuesday, January 11, 2011, the Coast Guard published a notice of 
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) entitled ``Special Local Regulations and 
Safety Zones; Recurring Events in Northern New England'' in the Federal 
Register (76 FR 1568). We received no comments or requests for a public 
meeting on the proposed rule.

Basis and Purpose

    Marine events are annually held on a recurring basis on the 
navigable waters within the Coast Guard Northern New England COTP 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 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 (CFR). The 
TABLES in this 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 has eliminated the need to establish temporary rules for events 
that occur on an annual basis. This provided 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 amends 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.

Background

    The Coast Guard in Northern New England processes over 180 marine 
event applications on an annual basis. Consequently, we created this 
rule to reduce costly administrative overhead and to decrease time 
consumed when drafting multiple special local regulations and regulated 
navigation areas for these marine events. By having permanent 
regulations for these events in Title 33 of the CFR also eliminates the 
need to establish multiple temporary rules for events that occur on an 
annual basis, hence greatly reducing administrative costs associated 
with that process.
    Another purpose of this rule is to list events on a permanent basis 
in order to expedite public notice of all marine activity in the Coast 
Guard Northern New England COTP Zone.

Discussion of Comments and Changes

    The Coast Guard did not receive any comments in response to the 
NPRM published in the Federal Register (76 FR 1568) on Tuesday, January 
11, 2011. Accordingly, no changes were made to the regulatory text in 
the final rule.
    We have added figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(g) of Commandant 
Instruction M16475.1D in the Environment section of the regulatory 
analysis, as this paragraph also pertains to the Categorical Exclusion 
determination for safety zones.

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 17531]]

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. 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 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 via the Local Notice 
to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners well in advance of the 
events. The effect of this 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 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 
might be small entities: owners or operators of vessels intending to 
transit, fish, or anchor in the areas where safety zones for marine 
related fireworks events and special local regulations for regattas are 
being held. For the reasons outlined in the Regulatory Planning and 
Review section above, this rule will 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 will 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 will 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), in the NPRM 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 (adjusted for 
inflation) 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 cause 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

[[Page 17532]]

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 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 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 concluded 
this action is one of a category of actions that do not individually or 
cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This 
rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraphs (34)(g) 
and (34)(h) of the Instruction since it involves establishment of 
safety zones for marine related fireworks events and special local 
regulations for regattas, respectively. An environmental analysis 
checklist and a categorical exclusion determination are available in 
the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES.

    The following regulations apply to the marine events listed in the 
Table to Sec.  100.120. These regulations will be enforced for the 
duration of each event, on or about the dates indicated. Annual notice 
of the exact dates and times of the effective period of the regulations 
with respect to each event, the geographical description of each 
regulated area, and details concerning the nature of the event and the 
number of participants and type(s) of vessels involved will be 
published in a Notice of Enforcement in the Federal Register and in 
Local Notices to Mariners. Mariners should consult the Federal Register 
or their Local Notice to Mariners to remain apprised of schedule or 
event changes. First Coast Guard District Local Notice to Mariners can 
be found at: http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/. The Sector Northern New 
England Marine Events schedule can also be viewed electronically at 
http://www.homeport.uscg.mil.

    Note to introductory paragraph of Sec.  100.20: Although listed 
in the Code of Federal Regulations, sponsors of events listed in the 
Table to Sec.  100.20 are still required to submit marine event 
applications in accordance with 33 CFR 100.15.

    (a) The Coast Guard may patrol each event area under the direction 
of a designated Coast Guard Patrol Commander. The Patrol Commander may 
be contacted on Channel 16 VHF-FM (156.8 MHz) by the call sign 
``PATCOM.'' Official patrol vessels may consist of any Coast Guard, 
Coast Guard Auxiliary, state, or local law enforcement vessels assigned 
or approved by the Captain of the Port, Sector Northern New England.
    (b) Vessels may not transit the regulated areas without the Patrol 
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 
regulated area must be at anchor within a designated spectator area or 
moored to a waterfront facility in a way that will not interfere with 
the progress of the event.
    (g) For all regattas and boat parades listed, spectator vessels 
operating within the regulated area shall maintain a separation of at 
least 50 yards from the participants.
    (h) For all rowing and paddling boat races listed, vessels not 
associated with the event shall maintain a separation of at least 50 
yards from the participants.
