33 CFR Part 110 

[Docket Number USCG–2017–0181] 

RIN 1625–AA01 

Anchorage Grounds; Baltimore 

Harbor, Baltimore, MD 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to 

amend its Baltimore Harbor anchorage 

grounds regulation. The proposed 

changes would reduce the size of three 

general anchorages, establish one new 

general anchorage, rename two existing 

general anchorages, and change the 

duration a vessel may remain within an 

anchorage for two existing general 

anchorages. This proposed rule would 

ensure that Coast Guard regulations are 

consistent with the U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers Baltimore District Port of 

Baltimore Anchorages and Channels 

civil works project that widened the 

channel, and provide a higher degree of 

safety to persons, property and the 

environment by accurately depicting the 

anchorage locations. The proposed 

changes to the regulated uses of the 

anchorages would support current and 

future port activity related to the safety 

of post-Panamax commercial cargo 

vessels, and would remove vessel 

security provisions that currently exist 

in these Baltimore Harbor regulations. 

We invite your comments on this 

proposed rulemaking. 

DATES: Comments and related material 

must be received by the Coast Guard on 

or before November 13, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

identified by docket number USCG– 

2017–0181 using the Federal 

eRulemaking Portal at http://

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking 

Pub. L. Public Law 

§ Section 

U.S.C. United States Code 

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal 

Basis 

Anchorage regulation duties and 

powers were transferred to the Coast 

Guard in 1967 (32 FR 17726, Dec. 12, 

1967). On December 12, 1968, the Fifth 

Coast Guard District published a final 

rule in the Federal Register (33 FR 

18438) establishing an anchorage area in 

Baltimore Harbor, Maryland. The 

anchorage grounds at Baltimore, 

Maryland are described in 33 CFR 

110.158. These anchorage grounds are 

involved in a federal navigation project 

under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers Baltimore District. 

Section 101a(22) of the Water Resources 

Development Act of 1999 (Pub. L. 106– 

53, 113 Stat 269 (1999)) authorized 

widening of the Dundalk and Seagirt 

Marine Terminal channels. Widening of 

the Seagirt Marine Terminal channel 

occurred in 2015. This dredging 

widened the limits of existing 

navigation channels which are used to 

access key Maryland Port 

Administration marine terminals 

located immediately adjacent to the 

Baltimore Harbor, Maryland anchorage 

grounds, and put the existing anchorage 

grounds in the way of the newly 

expanded navigation channels. To 

addresses these changes, Sector 

Maryland-National Capital Region, 

Baltimore, Maryland, worked in 

coordination with the Port of Baltimore 

Harbor Safety and Coordination 

Committee to develop proposed 

revisions to the affected anchorage 

boundaries and associated regulations. 

The purpose of this rulemaking is to 

reduce navigational safety risk and 

support port efficiency in Baltimore 

Harbor. This proposed rule would 

designate a new general anchorage 

ground developed from an existing 

anchorage ground that is located outside 

of the established navigation channel in 

order to align with the existing U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers Baltimore 

District Port of Baltimore Anchorages 

and Channels civil works project. The 

Baltimore Harbor anchorage grounds are 

typically used by deep draft commercial 

cargo vessels. In order to maximize the 

availability and use of these important 

anchorages, this proposed rule would 

also change the duration for which 

vessels may remain in these anchorages. 

This proposed rule would reduce the 

duration a vessel may remain within 

Anchorage No. 3 Lower (proposed to be 

changed to Anchorage No. 3A) and 

Anchorage No. 4, from 72 hours to 24 

hours. Lastly, due to similar provisions 

within the Maritime Transportation 

Security Act of 2002 (MTSA) (Pub. L. 

107–295) and federal regulations (33 

CFR part 104, and 46 CFR chapter 1, 

subchapters N and O), the vessel 

security requirements in § 110.158(d) 

are now redundant and would be 

removed as part of this proposed rule. 

The legal basis for this rule is: 33 

U.S.C. 471, 1221 through 1236, 2071; 33 

CFR 1.05–1; and Department of 

Homeland Security Delegation No. 

0170.1, which collectively authorize the 

Coast Guard to define anchorage 

grounds. 

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule 

The Coast Guard proposes to amend 

the Baltimore Harbor, Maryland 

anchorage grounds as described in 33 


amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with PROPOSALS1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 157 / Tuesday, August 14, 2018 / Proposed Rules 40165 

CFR 110.158. The general anchorages 

currently listed in the regulation that 

would be affected by this proposed rule 

are Anchorage No. 2, Anchorage No. 3 

Upper, Anchorage No. 3 Lower, 

Anchorage No. 4, Anchorage No. 5 and 

Anchorage No. 6. 

This proposed rule would reduce the 

sizes of Anchorage No. 2, Anchorage 

No. 3 Lower, and Anchorage No. 4. 

These reductions would remove the 

portions of the anchorage grounds that 

are in the navigable channel. The area 

of Anchorage No. 2 would be reduced 

by approximately 16,330 square yards 

along its northern limit and 

approximately 326,770 square yards 

along its eastern limit. The area of 

Anchorage No. 3 Lower would be 

reduced at its eastern limit by 12,560 

square yards. The area of Anchorage No. 

4 would be reduced at its western limit 

by 6,000 square yards. 

This proposed rule would rename 

Anchorage No. 3 Lower to Anchorage 

No. 3A, and rename Anchorage No. 3 

Upper to Anchorage No. 3B. This 

proposed rule would revise Anchorage 

No. 2 and would create an area called 

Anchorage No. 3C out of existing 

anchorage ground from Anchorage No. 

2. An area within Anchorage No. 2 that 

is approximately 500 yards in length 

and 165 yards in width, and adjacent to 

Anchorage No. 3 Upper, would become 

Anchorage No. 3C. This reconfiguration 

does not provide new space available 

for anchorage, would not restrict traffic, 

and is located outside of the established 

navigation channel. A graphic depicting 

these changes is included in the docket. 

This proposed rule would reduce the 

duration a vessel may remain within 

Anchorage No. 3 Lower (proposed to be 

changed to Anchorage No. 3A) and 

Anchorage No. 4, from 72 hours to 24 

hours. These changes are based on 

recommendations documented by the 

Port of Baltimore Harbor Safety and 

Coordination Committee on September 

8, 2010, and the Association of 

Maryland Pilots. The Port of Baltimore 

Harbor Safety and Coordination 

Committee’s recommendation is 

available in the docket. The Coast Guard 

agrees that the Committee’s 

recommendation addresses the problem 

of ensuring maximum availability and 

use of these anchorages. This proposed 

rule would establish that a vessel may 

remain within Anchorage No. 3C for no 

more than 72 hours without permission 

from the Captain of the Port, to remain 

consistent with the regulations for 

Anchorage No. 2. 

This rulemaking rule would renumber 

several paragraphs listed in 33 CFR 

110.158, from (a)(3) Anchorage No. 3, 

Upper, general anchorage, through (a)(8) 

Anchorage No. 7, Dead ship anchorage. 

All anchorage ground descriptions 

would be updated to state they are in 

the waters of the Patapsco River, except 

for Anchorage No. 7, Dead ship 

anchorage, which would be updated to 

state it is in the waters of Curtis Bay. 

Designation of the new Anchorage No. 

3C would create a new paragraph, (a)(9) 

for Anchorage No. 7, Dead ship 

anchorage. This rulemaking would 

modify paragraph (c)(3) of the general 

regulations to remove the reference to a 

vessel becoming ‘‘a menace’’ because we 

do not define that term and we don’t 

believe it is needed given other factors 

already included in that paragraph. We 

also propose to change the defined term 

‘‘dangerous cargo’’ to ‘‘certain 

dangerous cargo’’ without changing the 

definition, continuing to incorporate the 

definition of certain dangerous cargo 

from 33 CFR 160.202, and aligning 

terminology used in this proposed rule 

with that used throughout the rest of 33 

CFR 110.158. This rulemaking would 

remove paragraphs (c)(4) regarding 

revocable permits for habitual use of an 

anchorage, and paragraph (d) in their 

entirety for reasons stated earlier. 

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 

E.O.s. 

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. 

The Coast Guard has determined this 

proposed rule is not a significant 

regulatory action because it would not 

interfere with existing maritime activity 

in Baltimore Harbor. Moreover, the 

proposed changes would reduce 

navigational safety risk in Baltimore 

Harbor by: (1) Aligning existing general 

anchorage boundaries with recent 

dredging projects that widened the 

limits of adjacent navigational channels, 

(2) reducing the duration a vessel may 

remain within an anchorage to increase 

availability and usage, and (3) renaming 

and reconfiguring general anchorages 

that support a proper naming and 

numbering convention within the 

existing anchorage regulation. The 

reconfiguration of the additional general 

anchorage does not provide additional 

anchorage area and would not restrict 

traffic, as it is developed from an 

existing anchorage and is located 

outside of the established navigation 

channel. As discussed in section III 

above, this proposed rule would replace 

the ‘‘dangerous cargo’’ definition with 

one for ‘‘certain dangerous cargo’’ and 

remove vessel security provisions that 

are redundant to other federal 

regulations. 

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. 

For the reasons stated in paragraph 

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 

proposed 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.

40166 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 157 / Tuesday, August 14, 2018 / Proposed Rules 

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 above. 

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 the modification of existing 

anchorages within the Baltimore Harbor, 

Maryland anchorage grounds. Normally 

such actions are categorically excluded 

from further review under paragraph 

L59(a) and (b) of Appendix A, Table 1 

of DHS Instruction Manual 023–01–001, 

Rev. 01. A preliminary Record of 

Environmental Consideration 

supporting this determination is 

available in the docket where indicated 

in the ADDRESSES section of this 

preamble. We seek any comments or 

information that may lead to the 

discovery of a significant environmental 

impact from this proposed rule. 

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
