[Docket Number USCG–2018–0463] 

RIN 1625–AA00 

Safety Zone; Beaufort Water Festival 

Air Show, Beaufort, SC 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to 

establish a temporary safety zone on the 

waters of the Beaufort River in Beaufort, 

SC. The safety zone is needed to ensure 

safety of life on navigable waters of the 

United States during the Beaufort Water 

Festival Air Show. This proposed 

regulation will prohibit persons and 

vessels from entering, transiting 

through, anchoring in, or remaining 

within the regulated area unless 

authorized by the Captain of the Port 

Charleston (COTP) or a designated 

representative. We invite your 

comments on this proposed rulemaking. 

DATES: Comments and related material 

must be received by the Coast Guard on 

or before July 23, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

identified by docket number USCG– 

2018–0463 using the Federal

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking 

Pub. L. Public Law 

§ Section 

U.S.C. United States Code 

COTP Captain of the Port 

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal 

Basis 

On April 27, 2018, the Coast Guard 

received a marine event application for 

the 2018 Beaufort Water Festival Air 

Show that will take place from 12 p.m. 

until 5 p.m. on July 21, 2018. The safety 

zone is necessary to ensure the safety of 

life on the navigable waters of the 

United States during the Beaufort Water 

Festival Air Show. The COTP has 

determined that potential hazards 

associated with the airshow would be a 

safety concern for anyone within the 

regulated area. 

The purpose of this rulemaking is to 

ensure the safety of vessels and the 

navigable waters within the regulated 

area before, during, and after the 

scheduled event. The Coast Guard 

proposes this rulemaking under 

authority in 33 U.S.C. 1231. 

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule 

The COTP proposes to establish a 

safety zone from 12 p.m. until 5 p.m. on 

July 21, 2018. The safety zone would 

encompass a portion of the waterway 

that is 700 feet wide by 2600 feet in 

length on the waters of the Beaufort 

River in Beaufort, SC. No vessel or 

person would be permitted to enter, 

transit through, anchor in, or remain 

within the safety zone without obtaining 

permission from the COTP or a 

designated representative. The Coast 

Guard would provide notice of the 

safety zone by Local Notice to Mariners, 

Broadcast Notice to Mariners, and onscene designated representatives. The 

regulatory text we are proposing appears 

at the end of this document. 

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. 

Executive Order 13771 directs agencies 

to control regulatory costs through a 

budgeting process. 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), and 

pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt 

from the requirements of Executive 

Order 13771. 

This regulatory action determination 

is based on the size, location, duration, 

and time-of-day of the safety zone. The 

safety zone will only be enforced for 5 

hours, vessel traffic will be able to safely 

operate in the surrounding area during 

the enforcement period, and the rule 

will allow vessels to seek permission to 

enter the zone. Moreover, the Coast 

Guard will provide advance notification 

of the safety zone to the local maritime 

community by Local Notice to Mariners 

and Broadcast Notice to Mariners via 

VHF–FM marine channel 16. 

B. Impact on Small Entities 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 

1980, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, as amended, 


amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with PROPOSALS1
28788 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 120 / Thursday, June 21, 2018 / Proposed Rules 

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. 

We have considered the impact of this 

proposed rule on small entities. This 

rule may affect the following entities, 

some of which may be small entities: 

the owner or operators of vessels 

intending to enter, transit through, 

anchor in, or remain within the 

regulated area during the enforcement 

period. For the reasons stated in section 

IV.A. above, this proposed rule would 

not have a significant economic 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. 

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 contact 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 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 

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 contact 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 Management Directive 023–01 

and Commandant Instruction 

M16475.lD, 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 

do not individually or cumulatively 

have a significant effect on the human 

environment. This proposed rule 

involves a safety zone lasting 5 hours 

that would prohibit entry on certain 

waters of the Beaufort River in Beaufort, 

SC. Normally such actions are 

categorically excluded from further 

review under paragraph L 60(a) of 

Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction 

Manual 023–01–001–01, Rev. 01. A 

preliminary Record of Environmental 

Consideration supporting this 

determination is available in the docket 

where indicated under ADDRESSES. 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 contact 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 

We view public participation as 

essential to effective rulemaking, and 

will consider all comments and material 

received during the comment period. 

Your comment can help shape the 

outcome of this rulemaking. If you 

submit a comment, please include the 

docket number for this rulemaking, 

indicate the specific section of this 

document to which each comment 

applies, and provide a reason for each 

suggestion or recommendation. 

We encourage you to submit 

comments through the Federal 

eRulemaking Portal at http://

Air Plan Approval; North Carolina: New 

Source Review for Fine Particulate 

Matter (PM2.5) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve 

changes to the North Carolina State 

Implementation Plan (SIP), submitted 

by the North Carolina Department of 

Environmental Quality (NC DEQ) 

through the Division of Air Quality 

(DAQ), to EPA on October 17, 2017. 

This SIP submittal modifies North 

Carolina’s Prevention of Significant 

Deterioration (PSD) regulations and 

includes the adoption of specific federal 

provisions needed to meet the New 

Source Review (NSR) permitting 

program requirements for the fine 

particulate matter (PM2.5) national 

ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). 

In addition, North Carolina’s October 

17, 2017, SIP submittal addresses 

portions of the PSD requirements for the 

infrastructure SIPs for the following 

NAAQS: 1997 Annual and 24-hour 

PM2.5, 2006 24-hour PM2.5, 2008 lead, 

2008 8-hour ozone, 2010 sulfur dioxide 

(SO2), 2010 nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and 

2012 Annual PM2.5. As a result of this 

proposed approval of North Carolina’s 

modified PSD regulations, EPA is also 

proposing to approve North Carolina’s 

submittal with respect to the related 

PSD infrastructure SIP requirements for 

these NAAQS. As discussed in this 

notice, EPA previously disapproved
