RIN 1625–AB07 

Coast Guard Sector, Marine Inspection 

Zone, and Captain of the Port Zone 

Structure; Technical Amendment 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule makes nonsubstantive amendments throughout 

titles 33 and 46 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations, in order to align with 

changes in the Coast Guard’s internal 

organization that resulted from the 

Coast Guard’s recent sector realignment. 

The amendments typically describe the 

boundaries of sectors, marine inspection 

zones, and Captain of the Port zones; 

describe the reporting relationship 

between various field units; or reflect a 

change in the identity of the field unit 

that is responsible for a particular 

matter. This rule will have no 

substantive effect on the regulated 

public. 

DATES: This final rule is effective July 2, 

2007. As a member of the public, the 

effective date of this rule does not place 

any new requirements on you. For 

example, if you are currently required to 

submit a vessel response plan under 33 

CFR part 155, this rule may change the 

Captain of the Port Zone boundaries that 

are reflected in your plan. However, you 

do not need to incorporate those 

changes in your plan until your next 

scheduled plan revision, or in 

conjunction with an annual plan review 

conducted after July 2, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Comments and material 

received from the public, as well as 

documents mentioned in this preamble 

as being available in the docket, are part

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulatory History 

We did not publish a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this 

regulation. Under both 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(A) and (b)(B), the Coast Guard 

finds that this rule is exempt from 

notice and comment rulemaking 

requirements because these changes 

involve agency organization, and good 

cause exists for not publishing an NPRM 

because the changes made are all nonsubstantive. This rule consists only of 

organizational amendments. These 

changes will have no substantive effect 

on the public; therefore, it is 

unnecessary to publish an NPRM. 

Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast 

Guard finds that, for the same reasons, 

good cause exists for making this rule 

effective less than 30 days after 

publication in the Federal Register. 

Background and Purpose 

The Coast Guard has established a 

new system of sector commands. 

Sectors provide unified command and 

control for accomplishing Coast Guard 

mission objectives through the 

integrated conduct of operations, 

coordinated leveraging of maritime 

partner relationships, foresight in 

planning, and aggressive employment of 

assets and capabilities within the 

sector’s assigned Area of Responsibility 

(AOR). Sectors provide strategically 

guided, goal-focused, high-performance 

service delivery across the full range of 

Coast Guard missions. 

Sector AORs were created based on 

existing Captain of the Port (COTP) 

Zones and Marine Inspection Zones 

where possible. They combine the 

following Coast Guard legal titles and 

authorities-COTP, Federal Maritime 

Security Coordinator, Federal On-Scene 

Coordinator, Officer in Charge, Marine 

Inspection (OCMI), Search and Rescue 

Mission Coordinator—under one 

operational commander, with the 

resources necessary to carry out those 

responsibilities. The establishment of 

sectors has led to increased interaction 

and coordination of Coast Guard 

missions, resulting in improved 

command and control and better unity 

of effort in both homeland security and 

non-homeland security missions. 

The Sector Commander serves as the 

focal point and principal Coast Guard 

official to engage intra-Department of 

Homeland Security and interagency 

partners as well as other maritime 

stakeholders. 

Sectors combine legacy Marine Safety 

Offices (MSOs), Groups, Vessel Traffic 

Services, and some Air Stations into a 

standard organizational architecture. A 

diverse array of field structures has been 

transformed into 35 new sector 

commands, each of which consists of a 

Prevention, Response, and Logistics 

Department. 

In order to reflect the establishment of 

sector commands, this final rule 

extensively revises 33 CFR part 3, which 

contains informational provisions that 

describe Coast Guard internal 

organization. In addition, this rule 

amends numerous other Coast Guard 

regulations containing references that 

are affected by that establishment. 

While we have made every effort to 

update terminology comprehensively, if 

you encounter terms that you believe 

need updating, please contact the Coast 

Guard (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT). 

Please note that this rule is not 

intended to require any new action on 

your part. For example, if you 

previously filed a Vessel Response Plan 

(VRP) with us, pursuant to 33 CFR Part 

155, the COTP zones on which you 

based your VRP may be changed by this 

rule. However, you are not required to 

change your VRP at this time, simply in 

order to reflect the changed COTP 

zones. Instead, we expect that you will 

reflect the then-current COTP zones the 

next time you conduct a scheduled plan 

revision or conduct your annual VRP 

review. 

Regulatory Evaluation 

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. As this rule involves internal 

agency organization and nonsubstantive changes, it will not impose 

any costs on the public. 

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 


pwalker on PROD1PC71 with RULES3
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 126 / Monday, July 2, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 36317 

governmental jurisdictions with 

populations of less than 50,000. This 

rule does not require a general NPRM 

and, therefore, is exempt from the 

requirements of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. Although this rule is 

exempt, we have reviewed it for 

potential economic impact on small 

entities. 

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 

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 

Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, 

which guides the Coast Guard in 

complying with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and 

have concluded 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, this 

rule is categorically excluded, under 

figure 2–1, paragraph (34)(a) and (b), of 

the Instruction from further 

environmental documentation because 

this rule involves editorial, procedural, 

and internal agency functions. A final 

‘‘Environmental Analysis Check List’’

and a final ‘‘Categorical Exclusion 

Determination’’ are available in the 

docket where indicated under 

ADDRESSES.

■ For the reasons discussed in the 

preamble, the Coast Guard amends 33 

CFR parts 3, 20, 100, 104, 110, 135, 151, 

160, 162, and 165; and 46 CFR parts 1,

PART 3—COAST GUARD AREAS, 

DISTRICTS, SECTORS, MARINE 

INSPECTION ZONES, AND CAPTAIN 

OF THE PORT ZONES 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 3 is 

revised to read as follows: 

Authority: 14 U.S.C. 92; Pub. L. 107–296, 

116 Stat. 2135; Department of Homeland 

Security Delegation No. 0170.1, para. 2(23). 

■ 2. Revise the heading to part 3 to read 

as follows: 

PART 3—COAST GUARD AREAS, 

DISTRICTS, SECTORS, MARINE 

INSPECTION ZONES, AND CAPTAIN 

OF THE PORT ZONES 

* * * * * 

■ 3. Revise § 3.01–1 to read as follows: 

§ 3.01–1 General description. 

(a) The Coast Guard’s general 

organization for the performance of its 

assigned functions and duties consists 

of the Commandant, assisted by the 

Headquarters staff, two Area Offices to 

act as intermediate echelons of 

operational command, and District and 

Sector Offices to provide regional 

direction and coordination. Area, 

District, and Sector offices operate 

within defined geographical areas of the 

United States, its territories, and 

possessions, including portions of the 

high seas adjacent thereto. They are 

established by the Commandant and 

their areas of responsibility are 

described in this part. 

(b) The two Coast Guard Areas are the 

Atlantic Area and the Pacific Area. A 

Coast Guard Area Commander is in 

command of a Coast Guard Area. The 

Atlantic Area Office is collocated with 

the Fifth Coast Guard District Office. 

The Pacific Area Office is collocated 

with the Eleventh Coast Guard District 

Office. Area Commanders are 

responsible for determining when 

operational matters require the 

coordination of forces and facilities of 

more than one district. 

(c) A Coast Guard District Commander 

is in command of a Coast Guard District 

and the District Commander’s office 

may be referred to as a Coast Guard 

District Office. The District 

Commander’s duties are described in 

§ 1.01–1 of this subchapter. 

(d)(1) A Coast Guard Sector 

Commander is in command of a Coast 

Guard Sector and the Sector 

Commander’s office is referred to as a 

Coast Guard Sector Office. The Sector 

Commander is responsible for all Coast 

Guard missions within the sector’s area 

of responsibility. The Sector 

Commander’s authorities include 

Search and Rescue Mission Coordinator, 

Federal Maritime Security Coordinator, 

Federal On-Scene Coordinator, and, in 

most Sectors, Officer in Charge Marine 

Inspection (OCMI) and Captain of the 

Port (COTP). In his or her capacities as 

OCMI and COTP, the Sector 

Commander is responsible for a Marine 

Inspection Zone and COTP Zone. 

(2) In some Sectors, a Marine Safety 

Unit (MSU) retains OCMI and COTP 

authority over a designated portion of 

the Sector’s area of responsibility. In 

such cases, OCMI and COTP authority 

is exercised by the MSU Commander, 

not the Sector Commander. The appeal 

of a COTP order or OCMI matter is 

routed from the MSU Commander 

through the Sector Commander and 

then to the District Commander. 

(e) An OCMI is in command of a 

Marine Inspection Zone and his or her 

office may be referred to as a Coast 

Guard Marine Inspection Office. The 

OCMI’s duties are described in § 1.01–

20 of this subchapter. 

(f) A COTP is in command of a COTP 

Zone and his or her office may be 

referred to as a COTP Office. The 

COTP’s duties are described in § 1.01–

30 of this subchapter. 

(g) Each COTP Zone and each Marine 

Inspection Zone described in this part 

also includes the United States 

territorial seas adjacent to the described 

area or zone for the purpose of enforcing 

or acting pursuant to a statute effective 

in the United States territorial seas. 

Each COTP Zone and each Marine 

Inspection Zone described in this part 

also includes the contiguous zone 

adjacent to the area or zone for the 

purpose of enforcing or acting pursuant 

to a statute effective in the contiguous 

zone, as defined in § 2.28 of this 

subchapter. Each COTP Zone and each 

Marine Inspection Zone described in 

this part also includes the exclusive 

economic zone (EEZ) adjacent to the 

area for the purpose of enforcing or 

acting pursuant to a statute effective in 

the EEZ, as defined in § 2.30 of this 

subchapter. 

(h) Geographic descriptions used in 

this part are based upon boundaries and 

points located using the WGS 1984 

world grid system. When referenced, the 

outermost extent of the U.S. EEZ is the 

line of demarcation produced by the 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration (NOAA) using the NAD 

1983 coordinate system and projected to 

the WGS 1984 grid system. Both 


pwalker on PROD1PC71 with RULES3
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 126 / Monday, July 2, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 36319 

coordinate systems are geocentric and 

similar such that they are Global 

Positioning System (GPS) compatible 

throughout the area of concern. 

Resolution is based upon ddmmss 

readings to tenths of a second. This 

corresponds to a positional precision of 

about +/¥2 meters. Decimal degrees to 

5 decimal places correspond to a 

positional precision of about +/¥1 

meter. State boundaries used to 

determine points for descriptions of 

jurisdictional limits were based upon 

the National Transportation Atlas 

Database 2003 produced by the Bureau 

of Transportation Statistics. This data 

set was produced at a scale of 1:100,000 

and theoretically results in a nationwide 

locational accuracy of about +/¥50 

meters of true position. 

■ 4. Revise § 3.05–10 to read as follows: 

§ 3.05–10 Sector Boston Marine Inspection 

Zone and Captain of the Port Zone.
