Basis and Purpose 

Each year, on the fourth Saturday in 

July, hundreds of recreational boaters 

meet in Sillery Bay at Dobbins Island, 

Maryland for a gathering called ‘‘The 

Bumper Bash.’’ The activity began in 

2007. Due to the growing presence of 

boaters in recent years, the annual 

gathering has become increasingly 

congested. An estimated 700 

recreational boats were anchored or 

moored alongside other boats (rafted). 

The crowds of persons on recreational 

vessels or other water craft create large 

lines of rafted boats filling in the 

beachfront area of Dobbins Island. The 

persons and vessels exceeded a safe 

limit. Accidental drownings, personnel 

injuries, boat fires, boat capsizings and 

sinkings, and boating collisions are 

safety concerns during such 

overcrowded events. Access on the 

water for emergency response to the 

beach area is critical. The Coast Guard 

has the authority to impose appropriate 

controls on activities that may pose a 

threat to persons, vessels and facilities 

under its jurisdiction. The Coast Guard 

proposes to establish a permanent safety 

zone that will be enforced annually on 

the fourth Saturday in July, during a 

gathering of persons on recreational 

vessels and other water craft held in the 

Magothy River, in Sillery Bay, 

Maryland. The proposed rule is needed 

to control movement within a waterway 

that is expected to be populated by 

persons and vessels seeking to attend 

The Bumper Bash activity. 

Discussion of Proposed Rule 

The Coast Guard anticipates a large 

recreational boating fleet in the Magothy 

River, in Sillery Bay, during The 

Bumper Bash at Dobbins Island, 

Maryland annually on the fourth 

Saturday in July. Due to the need for 

vessel control during the activity, vessel 

traffic will be restricted to provide for 

the safety of persons and vessels within 

the regulated area. 

The purpose of this rule is to promote 

maritime safety, and to protect the 

environment and mariners transiting the 

area from the potential hazards 

associated with a large gathering of 

recreational vessels and other watercraft 

along a confined beachfront area with 

swimmers and others present. This rule 

proposes to establish a safety zone in 

the Magothy River, in Sillery Bay, 

contained within lines connecting the 

following positions: From position 

latitude 39°04′40′′ N, longitude 

076°27′44′′ W; thence to position 

latitude 39°04′48′′ N, longitude 

076°27′19′′ W; thence to position 

latitude 39°04′59′′ N, longitude 

076°27′45′′ W; thence to position 

latitude 39°04′59′′ N, longitude 

076°28′01′′ W; thence to position 

latitude 39°04′41′′ N, longitude 

076°27′51′′ W; thence to the point of 

origin at position latitude 39°04′40′′ N, 

longitude 076°27′44′′ W. All coordinates 

reference Datum NAD 1983. The rule 

will impact the movement of all persons 

and vessels in the regulated area, and 

will limit the density of vessels and 

other watercraft operating, remaining or 

anchoring within the regulated area at 

the discretion of the Captain of the Port 

Baltimore, to ensure an open water 

route remains accessible to law 

enforcement and emergency personnel 

during the effective period. Public 

vessels located within the regulated area 

will not contribute to the density 

determination. 

Regulatory Analyses 

We developed this proposed rule after 

considering numerous statutes and 

executive orders related to rulemaking. 

Below we summarize our analyses 

based on 13 of these statutes or 

executive orders. 

Regulatory Planning and Review 

This rule is not a significant 

regulatory action under section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory 

Planning and Review, as supplemented 

by Executive Order 13563, Improving 

Regulation and Regulatory Review, and 

does not require an assessment of 

potential costs and benefits under 

section 6(a)(3) of that Executive Order 

12866 or under section 1 of Executive 

Order 13563. The Office of Management 

and Budget has not reviewed it under 

those Orders. The effect of this 

regulation will not be significant due to 

the limited size and duration that the 

regulated area will be in effect and 

vessels transiting the Magothy River 

may proceed safely around the zone. In 

addition, notifications will be made to 

the maritime community via marine 

information broadcasts so mariners may 

adjust their plans accordingly. 

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 may affect 

the following entities, some of which 

might be small entities: The owners or 

operators of vessels intending to 

operate, remain or anchor within the 

safety zone, from 8 a.m. until 10 p.m. on 

the fourth Saturday in July annually. 

This safety zone will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities for 

the following reasons. Traffic would be 

allowed to pass within the safety zone 

with the permission of the Captain of 

the Port Baltimore. Vessels transiting 

the Magothy River may proceed safely 

around the zone. Also, the Coast Guard 

will issue maritime advisories widely 

available to users of the waterway before 

the effective period. 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 38 / Monday, February 27, 2012 / Proposed Rules 11425 

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. 

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 Coast Guard 

Sector Baltimore, Waterways 

Management Division, at telephone 

number (410) 576–2674. 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. 

Collection of Information 

This proposed rule would call 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 (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. 

Taking of Private Property 

This proposed rule would not cause 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 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 rule is not an economically 

significant rule and would not create an 

environmental risk to health or risk to 

safety that might disproportionately 

affect children. 

Indian Tribal Governments 

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. 

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 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 

(NEPA) (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. A preliminary 

environmental analysis checklist 

supporting this determination is 

available in the docket where indicated 

under ADDRESSES. This proposed rule 

involves establishing a safety zone. We 

seek any comments or information that 

may lead to the discovery of a 

significant environmental impact from 

this proposed rule.
