SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulatory Information 

On February 27, 2012, we published 

a notice of proposed rule making 

entitled Safety Zones; Annual Events 

Requiring Safety Zones in the Captain of 

the Port Lake Michigan Zone in the 

Federal Register (77 FR 11426). We 

received 0 letters commenting on the 

proposed rule. No public meeting was 

requested, and none was held. 

Background and Purpose 

Currently, 33 CFR 165.929 lists 

seventy different locations in the 

Captain of the Port Lake Michigan zone 

at which safety zones have been 

permanently established. Each of these 

seventy safety zones correspond to an 

annually recurring marine event. During 

an annual review of 33 CFR 165.929, it 

was found that the details of two of the 

annually recurring events have changed. 

It was also determined that five 

additional recurring marine events 

require the implementation of 

permanent safety zones. Thus, this rule 

revises the enforcement date and time of 

two events and adds five recurring 

events that require safety zones. In 

addition, this rule revises the 

organizational structure of 33 CFR 

165.929 so that the events will be listed 

numerically rather than alphabetically. 

Listing the events numerically is meant 

to make it easier for the public to 

identify the annual events requiring 

safety zones in the Captain of the Port 

Lake Michigan zone. 

Discussion of Comments and Changes 

No comments were received regarding 

this rule. 

Discussion of Rule 

This rule amends the regulations 

found in 33 CFR 165.929, Annual 

Events requiring safety zones in the 

Captain of the Port Lake Michigan zone. 

Specifically, this rule revises § 165.929 

in its entirety. The revision includes the 

modification of the name and 

enforcement period of one safety zone, 

the modification of the enforcement 

period of one other safety zone, and the 

addition of five new safety zones. Each 

of the existing and newly added safety 

zones are necessary to protect vessels 

and people from the hazards associated 

with various maritime events. Such 

hazards include obstructions to the 

navigable channels, explosive dangers 

associated with various maritime 

events. Although this rule will remain 

in effect year round, the safety zones 

within it will be enforced only 

immediately before, during, and after 

each corresponding marine event. 

The Captain of the Port Lake 

Michigan will use all appropriate means 

to notify the public when the zones in 

this rule will be enforced. Consistent 

with 33 CFR 165.7(a), such means of 

may include, among other things, 

publication in the Federal Register and 

Broadcast Notice to Mariners or Local 

Notice to Mariners. The Captain of the 

Port will issue a Broadcast Notice to 

Mariners notifying the public when 

enforcement of a safety zone in this 

section is cancelled. 

Entry into, transiting, or anchoring 

within each of the below safety zone is 

prohibited unless authorized by the 

Captain of the Port Lake Michigan, or 

his designated representative. The 

Captain of the Port or his designated 

representative may be contacted via 

VHF Channel 16. 

Regulatory Analysis 

We developed this 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. We conclude that this rule 

is not a significant regulatory action 

because we anticipate that it will have 

minimal impact on the economy, will 

not interfere with other agencies, will 

not adversely alter the budget of any 

grant or loan recipients, and will not 

raise any novel legal or policy issues. 

The safety zones created by this rule 

will be relatively small and enforced for 

a relatively short time. Also, each safety 

zone is designed to minimize its impact 

on navigable waters. Furthermore, each 

safety zone has been designed to allow 

vessels to transit unrestricted to 

portions of the waterways not affected 

by the safety zones. Thus, restrictions 

on vessel movements within that 

particular area are expected to be 

minimal. Under certain conditions, 

moreover, vessels may still transit 

through each safety zone when 

permitted by the Captain of the Port, 

Sector Lake Michigan. On the whole, 

the Coast Guard expects insignificant 

adverse impact to mariners from the 

activation of these safety zones. 

Small Entities 

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act 

(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have considered 

whether this rule would have a 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
21440 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 69 / Tuesday, April 10, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 

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 rule would not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities. 

This rule would affect the following 

entities, some of which might be small 

entities: The owners and operators of 

vessels intending to transit or anchor in 

any one of the below established safety 

zones while the safety zone is being 

enforced. These safety zones will not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities 

for the following reasons: Each safety 

zone in this rule will be in effect for 

only a few hours within any given 24 

hour period. Each of the safety zones 

will be in effect only once per year. 

Furthermore, these safety zones have 

been designed to allow traffic to pass 

safely around each zone. Moreover, 

vessels will be allowed to pass through 

each zone at the discretion of the 

Captain of the Port, Sector Lake 

Michigan, or his or her designated 

representative. 

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 rule so that they can 

better evaluate its effects on them and 

participate in the rulemaking process. 

Collection of Information 

This rule calls 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 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 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 rule will not affect the 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 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 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 rule does not have tribal 

implications under Executive Order 

13175, Consultation and Coordination 

with Indian Tribal Governments, 

because it does 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 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 rule does not use technical 

standards. Therefore, we did not 

consider the use of voluntary consensus 

standards. 

Environment 

We have analyzed this 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 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. An environmental 

analysis checklist supporting this 

determination is available in the docket 

where indicated under ADDRESSES. This 

rule involves the establishment, 

disestablishment, and changing of safety 

zones, and thus, paragraph 34(g) of 

figure 2–1 in Commandant Instruction 

M16475.lD applies.

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

through, anchoring in, or remaining 

within the safety zone unless authorized 

by the Captain of the Port Miami or a 

designated representative. 

DATES: This rule is effective from 9 a.m. 

on May 12, 2012 through 4 p.m. on May 

13, 2012. This rule will be enforced

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulatory Information 

The Coast Guard is issuing this 

temporary final rule without prior 

notice and opportunity to comment 

pursuant to authority under section 4(a) 

of the Administrative Procedure Act 

(APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision 

authorizes an agency to issue a rule 

without prior notice and opportunity to 

comment when the agency for good 

cause finds that those procedures are 

‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary 

to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that 

good cause exists for not publishing a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

with respect to this rule because the 

Coast Guard did not receive necessary 

information regarding the event until 

February 16, 2012. As a result, the Coast 

Guard did not have sufficient time to 

publish an NPRM and to receive public 

comments prior to the event. Any delay 

in the effective date of this rule would 

be contrary to the public interest 

because immediate action is needed to 

minimize potential danger to race 

participants and the general public. 

Basis and Purpose 

The legal basis for the rule is the 

Coast Guard’s authority to establish 

regulated navigation areas and other 

limited access areas: 33 U.S.C. 1231; 46 

U.S.C. Chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50 

U.S.C. 191, 195; 33 CFR 1.05–1, 6.04–1, 

6.04–6, 160.5; Public Law 107–295, 116 

Stat. 2064; Department of Homeland 

Security Delegation No. 0170.1. 

The purpose of the rule is to protect 

Volvo Ocean Racing Youth Regatta 

participants and the general public from 

hazards associated with sailing vessels 

racing on the navigable waters of the 

United States. 

Discussion of Rule 

On May 12, 2012 and May 13, 2012, 

the Volvo Ocean Race Miami will be 

hosting the Volvo Ocean Race Youth 

Regatta in Miami, Florida. The event 

will consist of 16 to 36 sailing vessels 

racing in the Port of Miami Turning 

Basin. No spectator vessels are 

expected. 

The safety zone encompasses certain 

navigable waters of Biscayne Bay in 

Miami, Florida. The safety zone will be 

enforced daily from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. 

on May 12, 2012 and May 13, 2012. 

Persons and vessels are prohibited from 

entering, transiting through, anchoring 

in, or remaining within the safety zone 

unless authorized by the Captain of the 

Port Miami or a designated 

representative. Persons and vessels 

desiring to enter, transit through, anchor 

in, or remain within the safety zone may 

contact the Captain of the Port Miami by 

telephone at (305) 535–4472, or a 

designated representative via VHF radio 

on channel 16, to request authorization. 

If authorization to enter, transit through, 

anchor in, or remain within the safety 

zone is granted by the Captain of the 

Port Miami or a designated 

representative, all persons and vessels 

receiving such authorization must 

comply with the instructions of the 

Captain of the Port Miami or a 

designated representative. The Coast 

Guard will provide notice of the safety 

zone by Local Notice to Mariners, 

Broadcast Notice to Mariners, and onscene designated representatives. 

Regulatory Analyses 

We developed this 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 

Executive Orders 13563, Improving 

Regulation and Regulatory Review, and 

12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, 

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 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety 

effects, distributive impacts, and 

equity). Executive Order 13563 

emphasizes the importance of 

quantifying both costs and benefits, of 

reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, 

and of promoting flexibility. This rule 

has not been designated a significant 

regulatory action under section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, 

the Office of Management and Budget 

has not reviewed this regulation under 

Executive Order 12866. 

The economic impact of this rule is 

not significant for the following reasons: 

(1) The safety zone will be enforced for 

a total of 14 hours; (2) although persons 

and vessels will not be able to enter,
