[Docket Number USCG-2021-0013]
RIN 1625-AA08


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

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

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 area of 
responsibility 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 Area of 
Responsibillity (AOR). The Coast Guard will address all comments 
through response 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 ``Ohio Valley Annual and Reoccuring Marine Events.'' The 
most recent list was created June 8, 2020 via 85 FR 34994.
    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 will 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 33 CFR. contains regulations describing regattas and 
marine parades conducted on U.S. navigable waters in order to ensure 
the safety of life in the regulated areas. Section 100.801 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

[[Page 10895]]

section requires amendment from time to time to properly reflect the 
recurring special local regulations. This proposed rule would update 
Sec.  100.801, Table 1 titled ``Ohio Valley Annual and Reoccuring 
Marine Events.''
    This proposed rule would add 1 new recurring special local 
regulation to Table 1 of Sec.  100.801 for Sector Ohio Valley, as 
follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 Date                       Event/sponsor         Ohio Valley location        Regulated area
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
57. 3 days--One weekend in the month   Owensboro HydroFair....  Owensboro, KY..........  Ohio River, Mile 794.0-
 of August.                                                                               760.0 (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 establishe 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. Broadcast Notices to Mariners, Local Notices to Mariners, 
and Safety Marine Information Broadcasts would also 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 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 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 would 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 effects of this 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

[[Page 10896]]

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 that this action is 
one of a category of actions that would 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.

V. Public Participation and Request for Comments
