RIN 1625–AA08 

Special Local Regulation; Battle of the 

Bridges, Intracoastal Waterway, 

Venice, FL 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to 

establish a temporary special local 

regulation for certain waters of the 

Intracoastal Waterway. This action is 

necessary to provide for the safety of life 

on these navigable waters in Venice, FL, 

during the Battle of the Bridges on 

September 15, 2018. This proposed 

rulemaking would prohibit persons and 

vessels from being in the race area 

unless authorized by the Captain of the 

Port St. Petersburg (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 August 22, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

identified by docket number USCG– 

2018–0608 using the Federal 

eRulemaking Portal at http://

www.regulations.gov. See the ‘‘Public 

Participation and Request for 

Comments’’ portion of the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for 

further instructions on submitting 

comments.

FR Federal Register 

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking 

§ Section 

U.S.C. United States Code 

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal 

Basis 

On November 7, 2017, the Sarasota 

Scullers Youth Rowing Program notified 

the Coast Guard that it will be 

conducting the Battle of the Bridges 

sculler race from 7 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on 

September 15, 2018. The race will take 

place in portions of the Intracoastal 

Waterway in Venice, FL. The Captain of 

the Port St. Petersburg (COTP) has 

determined that potential hazards 

associated with the race to be a safety 

concern for anyone within area where 

the race is taking place. 

The Coast Guard is requesting that 

interested parties provide comments 

within a shortened comment period of 

15 days instead of a standard 30 days for 

this notice of proposed rulemaking. The 

Coast Guard believes a shortened 

comment period is necessary and 

reasonable because the special local 

regulation is necessary to ensure the 

safety of vessels and the navigable 

waters within, or near the race area 

during the scheduled event. Any delay 

in making this final rule effective by 

allowing comments for more than 15 

days would not be in the best interest 

of public safety. 

The Coast Guard proposes this 

rulemaking under authority in 33 U.S.C. 

1233. 

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule 

The COTP proposes to establish a 

temporary special local regulation from 

7 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on September 15, 

2018. The regulation would cover a race 

which would take place on 

approximately 3.5 miles of the 

Intracoastal Waterway starting near the 

Shamrock Park & Nature Center and 

ending near the Tamiami Trail Bridge in 

Venice, FL. The duration of the 

regulation is intended to ensure the 

safety of vessels and these navigable 

waters during the scheduled 7 a.m. to 

7:30 p.m. race. No vessel or person 

would be permitted to enter the 

regulated area without obtaining 

permission from the COTP or a 

designated representative. Persons or 

vessels receiving permission to enter the 

regulated area must comply with the 

instructions of the COTP or a designated 

representative. 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 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 152 / Tuesday, August 7, 2018 / Proposed Rules 38671 

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 special local 

regulation. This regulation would 

impact approximately 3.5 miles of the 

Intracoastal Waterway in Venice, FL for 

twelve and half hours on one day. The 

Coast Guard would issue a Broadcast 

Notice to Mariners via VHF–FM marine 

channel 16 about the regulation, and the 

rule would allow vessels to seek 

permission to enter the race area in 

emergency situations. Advance notice of 

the regulation will provide the local 

community with ample time to plan 

around the race event accordingly. 

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 

regulation area may be small entities, for 

the reasons stated in section IV.A above, 

this proposed rule would not have a 

significant economic impact on any 

vessel owner or operator. 

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 Directive 023–01 and 

Commandant Instruction M16475.1D, 

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 special local regulation which 

temporarily limits access to the portions 

of the Intracoastal Waterway in Venice, 

FL to race participants only, except in 

emergency situations. Normally such 

actions are categorically excluded from 

further review under paragraph L[61] 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.
