Basis and Purpose 

The legal basis for the proposed rule 

is the Coast Guard’s authority to 

establish special local regulations: 

33 U.S.C. 1233. The purpose of the 

proposed rule is to insure safety of life 

on navigable waters of the United States 

during the Third Annual Space Coast 

Super Boat Grand Prix. 

Discussion of Proposed Rule 

On Sunday, May 20, 2012, Super Boat 

International Productions, Inc. will host 

the Third Annual Space Coast Super 

Boat Grand Prix, a series of high-speed 

boat races. The event will be held on the 

waters of the Atlantic Ocean east of 

Cocoa Beach, Florida. Approximately 30 

high-speed power boats are anticipated 

to participate in the races. It is 

anticipated that at least 200 spectator 

vessels will be present during the event. 

The proposed rule would establish 

special local regulations that encompass 

certain waters of the Atlantic Ocean east 

of Cocoa Beach, Florida. The special 

local regulations would be enforced 

from 9 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. on May 20, 

2012. The special local regulations 

would consist of the following two 

areas: (1) A race area, where all persons 

and vessels, except those persons and 

vessels participating in the high-speed 

boat races, are prohibited from entering, 

transiting, anchoring, or remaining; and 

(2) a buffer zone around the race area, 

where all persons and vessels, except 

those persons and vessels enforcing the 

buffer zone, are prohibited from 

entering, transiting, anchoring, or 

remaining. Persons and vessels would 

be able to request authorization to enter, 

transit through, anchor in, or remain 

within the race area or buffer zone by 

contacting the Captain of the Port 

Jacksonville by telephone at (904) 564– 

7501, or a designated representative via 

VHF radio on channel 16. If 

authorization to enter, transit through, 

anchor in, or remain within the race 

area or buffer zone is granted by the 

Captain of the Port Jacksonville or a 

designated representative, all persons 

and vessels receiving such authorization 

would be required to comply with the 

instructions of the Captain of the Port 

Jacksonville or a designated 

representative. The Coast Guard would 

provide notice of the regulated areas by 

Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast 

Notice to Mariners, and on-scene 

designated representatives. 

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 proposed 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 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 economic impact of this proposed 

rule is not significant for the following 

reasons: (1) The special local regulations 

would be enforced for only 81⁄2 hours; 

(2) although persons and vessels would 

not be able to enter, transit through, 

anchor in, or remain within the race 

area or buffer zone without 

authorization from the Captain of the 

Port Jacksonville or a designated 

representative, they would be able to 

operate in the surrounding area during 

the enforcement period; (3) persons and 

vessels would still be able to enter, 

transit through, anchor in, or remain 

within the race area or buffer zone if 

authorized by the Captain of the Port 

Jacksonville or a designated 

representative; and (4) the Coast Guard 

would provide advance notification of 

the special local regulations to the local 

maritime community by Local Notice to 

Mariners and Broadcast Notice to 

Mariners. 

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 

may be small entities: the owners or 

operators of vessels intending to enter, 

transit through, anchor in, or remain 

within that portion of the Atlantic 

Ocean encompassed within the special 

local regulations from 9 a.m. until 

5:30 p.m. on May 20, 2012. For the 

reasons discussed in the Regulatory 


pstrozier on DSK7SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
15008 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 50 / Wednesday, March 14, 2012 / Proposed Rules 

Planning and Review section 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 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 proposed 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 proposed rule would affect your 

small business, organization, or 

governmental jurisdiction and you have 

questions concerning its provisions or 

options for compliance, please contact 

Lieutenant Commander Robert Butts, 

Sector Jacksonville Office of Waterways 

Management, Coast Guard; telephone 

(904) 564–7563, email 

Robert.S.Butts@uscg.mil. 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 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 determined that this rule 

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 would 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 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 proposed 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. This proposed 

rule involves establishing special local 

regulations issued in conjunction with a 

marine event, as described in figure 2– 

1, paragraph (34)(h), of the Instruction. 

We seek any comments or information 

that may lead to the discovery of a 

significant environmental impact from 

this proposed rule.

Safety Zones; Sellwood Bridge Project, 

Willamette River; Portland, OR 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes the 

establishment of two safety zones to 

remain in effect throughout the duration 

of the construction and renewal of the 

Sellwood Bridge located on the 

Willamette River in Portland, Oregon. 

This action is necessary to ensure the 

safety of vessels transiting in close 

proximity to cranes, barges, and 

temporary structures associated with 

this construction project. During the 

effective period, all vessels will be 

required to remain at the prescribed safe 

distance from the construction area 

while transiting in the vicinity of the 

Sellwood Bridge project; however, the 

establishment of these safety zones does 

not entirely close this section of the 

Willamette River. The section of the 

Willamette River between the safety 

zones will remain open for vessel 

transits, and it will have a minimum 

channel width of 138 feet at all times. 

The two safety zones proposed in this 

rule are located within the same 

geographical points as safety zones 

issued as a temporary final rule effective 

through 11 a.m., July 1, 2012. 

DATES: Comments and related material
