Safety Zones; Annual Events 

Requiring Safety Zones in the Captain 

of the Port Lake Michigan Zone 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes 

establishment of safety zones for annual 

events in the Captain of the Port Lake 

Michigan zone. This proposed rule is 

intended to restrict vessels from 

portions of water and shore areas during 

events that pose a hazard to public 

safety. The safety zones established by 

this proposed rule are necessary to 

protect spectators, participants, and 

vessels from the hazards associated with 

fireworks displays, air shows, and other 

events. 

DATES: Comments and related materials 

must reach the Coast Guard on or before 

June 4, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: You may mail comments 

and related material to Commander, 

Coast Guard Sector Lake Michigan 

(spw), 2420 South Lincoln Memorial 

Drive, Milwaukee, WI 53207. Sector 

Lake Michigan Prevention Department 

maintains the public docket for this 

rulemaking. Comments and material 

received from the public, as well as 

documents indicated in this preamble as 

being available in the docket, will 

become part of this docket and will be 

available for inspection or copying at 

the Coast Guard Sector Lake Michigan 

Prevention Office between 8 a.m. and 3 

p.m., Monday through Friday, except 

Federal holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Request for Comments 

We encourage you to participate in 

this rulemaking by submitting 

comments and related material. If you 

do so, please include your name and 

address, identify the docket number for 

this rulemaking [CGD09–07–005], 

indicate the specific section of this 

document to which each comment 

applies, and give the reason for each 

comment. Please submit all comments 

and related material in an unbound 

format, no larger than 81⁄2 by 11 inches, 

suitable for copying. If you would like 

to know they reached us, please enclose 

a stamped, self-addressed postcard or 

envelope. We will consider all 

comments and material received during 

the comment period. We may change 

this proposed rule in view of them. 

Public Meeting 

We do not now plan to hold a public 

meeting. But you may submit a request 

for a meeting by writing to Commander, 

Coast Guard Sector Lake Michigan 

(SPW) at the address under ADDRESSES

explaining why one would be 

beneficial. If we determine that one 

would aid this rulemaking, we will hold 

one at a time and place announced by 

a later notice in the Federal Register. 

Background and Purpose 

In 2005 the Coast Guard consolidated 

the Captain of the Port Milwaukee Zone 

and the Captain of the Port Chicago 

Zone and realigned the boundaries of 

the Captain of the Port Sault Ste. Marine 

zone to create the Captain of the Port 

Lake Michigan zone. This proposed rule 

will consolidate the regulations found 

in 33 CFR 165.909, Safety Zones; 

Annual fireworks events in the Captain 

of the Port Milwaukee Zone and 33 CFR 


cprice-sewell on DSK89S0YB1PROD with RULES
25220 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 86 / Friday, May 4, 2007 / Proposed Rules 

165.918, Safety Zones; Annual fireworks 

events in the Captain of the Port 

Chicago Zone into one rule that will 

include all safety zones for annual 

events in the Captain of the Port Lake 

Michigan Zone. This proposed rule will 

also add several annual events not 

previously listed in 33 CFR part 165 and 

remove several events that no longer 

occur annually or do not require a safety 

zone. These safety zones are necessary 

to protect vessels and people from the 

hazards associated with fireworks 

displays, air shows, or other events. 

Such hazards include obstructions to 

the waterway that may cause marine 

casualties and the explosive danger of 

fireworks and debris falling into the 

water that may cause death or serious 

bodily harm. 

Discussion of Proposed Rule 

The proposed rule and associated 

safety zones are necessary to ensure the 

safety of vessels and people during 

events in the Captain of the Port Lake 

Michigan area of responsibility that may 

pose a hazard to the public. The 

proposed safety zones and associated 

events are described in subparagraphs 

(1) though (81) of this regulation. The 

proposed safety zones will be enforced 

only immediately before and during 

events that pose hazard to the public. If 

the event concludes prior to the 

scheduled termination time, the Coast 

Guard will cease enforcement of the 

safety zone and will announce that fact 

via Broadcast Notice to Mariners or 

Local notice to Mariners. 

Regulatory Evaluation 

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. 

The Coast Guard’s use of these safety 

zones will be periodic in nature, of short 

duration, and designed to minimize the 

impact on navigable waters. These 

safety zones will only be enforced 

immediately before and during the time 

the events are occurring. Furthermore, 

these safety zones have been designed to 

allow vessels to transit unrestricted to 

portions of the waterways not affected 

by the safety zones. The Coast Guard 

expects insignificant adverse impact to 

mariners from the activation of these 

safety zones. 

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: The owners and 

operators of vessels intending to transit 

or anchor in the areas designated as 

safety zones during the dates and times 

the safety zones are being enforced. 

These safety zones would not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities for 

the following reasons. The safety zones 

in this proposed rule would be in effect 

for short periods of time and only once 

per year. The safety zones have been 

designed to allow traffic to pass safely 

around the zone whenever possible and 

vessels will be allowed to pass through 

the zones with the permission of the 

Captain of the Port. 

If you think that your business, 

organization, or governmental 

jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity 

and that this proposed 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 CWO Brad 

Hinken, Prevention Department, Coast 

Guard Sector Lake Michigan, 

Milwaukee, WI at (414) 747–7154. 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 proposed 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 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 or more in any one year. 

Though this proposed rule will not 

result in such an expenditure, we do 

discuss the effects of this proposed rule 

elsewhere in this preamble. 

Taking of Private Property 

This proposed rule will not effect the 

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 proposed 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 

The Coast Guard recognizes the treaty 

rights of Native American Tribes. 

Moreover, the Coast Guard is committed 

to working with Tribal Governments to 

implement local policies and to mitigate 

tribal concerns. We have determined 

that these safety zones and fishing rights 


cprice-sewell on DSK89S0YB1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 86 / Friday, May 4, 2007 / Proposed Rules 25221 

protection need not be incompatible. 

We have also determined that this 

Proposed 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. 

Nevertheless, Indian Tribes that have 

questions concerning the provisions of 

this Proposed Rule or options for 

compliance are encourage to contact the 

point of contact listed under FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 

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 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 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 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 made a preliminary determination 

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, we believe this 

proposed rule should be categorically 

excluded, under figure 2–1, paragraph 

34 (g) of the Instruction from further 

environmental documentation. This 

proposed rule establishes a safety zone 

and as such is covered by this 

paragraph. 

A preliminary ‘‘Environmental 

Analysis Check List’’ and a preliminary 

‘‘Categorical Exclusion Determination’’ 

are available in the docket where 

indicated under ADDRESSES. Comments 

on this section will be considered before 

we make the final decision on whether 

the proposed rule should be 

categorically excluded from further 

environmental review.

Background and Purpose 

There are approximately twenty 

fireworks displays launched annually at 

Lakeshore State Park in Milwaukee, WI. 

The fireworks displays are sponsored 

festivals located at Henry W. Maier 

Festival Park. The fireworks displays 

impact the navigable waters of 

Milwaukee Harbor and pose a hazard to 

vessels and people. The purpose of this 

proposed rule it to establish a limited 

access area around the fireworks launch 

site to protect vessels and people from 

the hazards associated with fireworks 

displays. Such hazards include the 

explosive danger of fireworks and debris 

falling into the water that may cause 

death or serious bodily harm. 

Discussion of Proposed Rule 

The proposed safety zone is necessary 

to ensure the safety of spectators and 

vessels during the setup, loading, and 

launching of fireworks displays at 

Lakeshore State Park in Milwaukee, WI. 

in conjunction with festivals at Henry 

W. Maier Festival Park. The proposed 

safety zone encompasses the waters of 

Lake Michigan within Milwaukee 

Harbor adjacent to the Lakeshore State 

Park and Henry W. Maier Festival Park. 

The proposed safety zone will be 

enforced only immediately before and 

during fireworks displays and only
