Statements of Commissioners 

Appendix 1—Commission Voting Summary 

On this matter, Chairman Gensler and 

Commissioners Sommers, Chilton, O’Malia 

and Wetjen voted in the affirmative; no 

Commissioner voted in the negative. 

Appendix 2—Statement of Chairman Gary 

Gensler 

I support the final rule to establish a 

process for the registration of swap dealers 

and major swap participants. The rule 

implements the Dodd-Frank Wall Street 

Reform and Consumer Protection Act (DoddFrank Act) mandate that these entities be 

subject to registration and regulation for their 

swaps business. Registration will enable the 

Commodity Futures Trading Commission to 

monitor swap dealers and major swap 

participants for compliance with the DoddFrank Act and Commission rulemakings. 

Through regulation of dealers, the 

Commission will be able to protect market 

participants and the public, as well as 

promote sound risk management practices. 

The final rule includes a requirement that 

swap dealers and major swap participants 

become members of a registered futures 

association, such as the National Futures 

Association (NFA). 

In addition, I support the order delegating 

to the NFA the authority to register swap 

dealers and major swap participants. This 

will help efficiently allocate resources and 

provide the Commission with flexibility.

Special Local Regulations; Recurring 

Marine Events in the Fifth Coast Guard 

District 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is revising 

the list of special local regulations 

established for recurring marine events 

at various locations within the 

geographic boundary of the Fifth Coast 

Guard District. This rule revises 33 CFR 

100.501 by adding 6 new annual 

recurring marine events and modifying 

event date(s) for 12 previously 

established locations within the 

geographic boundary of the Fifth Coast 

Guard District. This rule also deletes 4 

previously listed marine events and 

corresponding regulated areas that no 

longer occur. These regulations will 

apply to all events listed in the table 

attached to the regulation, and include 

events such as regattas, power boat races 

and marine parades. Special local 

regulations are established to provide 

for the safety of life on navigable waters 

during these events, reduce the Coast 

Guard’s administrative workload and 

expedite public notification of events. 

Entry into or movement within these 

proposed regulated areas during the 

enforcement periods is prohibited 

without approval of the appropriate 

Captain of the Port. 

DATES: This rule is effective February 

21, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information 

On October 12, 2011, we published a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

entitled ‘‘Special Local Regulations; 

Recurring Marine Events in the Fifth 

Coast Guard District’’ in the Federal 

Register (76 FR 63239). We received no 

comments on the proposed rule. 

Basis and Purpose 

The Coast Guard is revising the list of 

permanent special local regulations at 

33 CFR 100.501, established for 

recurring marine events at various 

locations within the geographic 

boundary of the Fifth Coast Guard 

District. The Fifth Coast Guard District 

is comprised of the land areas and U.S. 

navigable waters adjacent to North 

Carolina, Virginia, District of Columbia, 

Maryland, Delaware and portions of 

Pennsylvania and New Jersey. For a 

detailed description of the geographical 

area of the district and each Coast Guard 

Sector—Captain of the Port Zone, please 

see 33 CFR 3.25. 

The Coast Guard is revising the list of 

special local regulations at 33 CFR 

100.501, established for various marine 

events, by adding 6 new annual 

recurring events and modifying 12 

previously established locations within 

the geographic boundary of the Fifth 

Coast Guard District. This rule also 

deletes 4 previously listed marine 

events and corresponding regulated 

areas that are no longer occurring. The 

special local regulated areas removed 

from this section include: Night in 

Venice, Ocean City, NJ; Baltimore 

County Community Waterfront Festival, 

Martin Lagoon, MD; Annapolis 

Triathlon Swim, Spa Creek, Severn 

River, MD; and Virginia state 

hydroplane championships, Western 

Branch, Elizabeth River, VA. Currently 

there are 57 special local regulations 

that are established and enforced at 

various periods throughout the year that 

are held on an annual basis. This rule 

will increase the total number of special 

local regulations to 59 locations for 

marine events within the boundary of 

the Fifth Coast Guard District. The table 

to 33 CFR 100.501 is renumbered within 

each section to facilitate future changes. 

The Coast Guard is revising 

regulations at 33 CFR 100.501 by adding 

6 new marine event locations to the 

permanent special local regulations 

listed in this section. The new special 

local regulations are listed in the 

following table, including reference by 

section as printed in the Table to 

§ 100.501.

The Coast Guard is revising 

regulations at 33 CFR 100.501 by 

modifying 12 existing regulated areas. 

This revision involves changes to the 

event date(s) only. The revised special 

local regulations are listed in the 

following table, including reference by 

section as printed in the Table to 

§ 100.501.

This regulation currently includes 

events such as sailing regattas, power 

boat races, swim races, holiday parades, 

crew and other paddle craft races. 

Currently, there are 57 annual recurring 

marine events and many other nonrecurring events within the Fifth Coast 

Guard District. In the past, the Coast 

Guard regulated these events by creating 

individual special local regulations on a 

case by case basis. Most of these events 

required only the establishment of a 

regulated area and assignment of a 

patrol commander to ensure safety. 

Issuing individual, annual special local 

regulations has created a significant 

administrative burden on the Coast 

Guard. 

Additionally, for the majority of these 

events, the Coast Guard does not receive 

notification of the event, or important 

details of the event are not finalized by 

event organizers, with sufficient time to 

publish a notice of proposed rulemaking 

and final rule before the event date. The 

Coast Guard must therefore create 

temporary final rules that sometimes are 

completed only days before the event. 

This results in delayed notification to 


EMCDONALD on DSK29S0YB1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 12 / Thursday, January 19, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 2631 

the public, potentially placing the 

public and event participants at risk. 

This rule will significantly relieve the 

administrative burden on the Coast 

Guard, and at the same time allow the 

sponsor of the event and the Coast 

Guard to notify the public of these 

events in a timely manner. The public 

would be provided with notice of events 

through the table attached to this 

regulation. This table lists each 

recurring marine event that may be 

regulated by the Coast Guard, and 

indicates the sponsor, as well as the 

date(s) and location of the event. 

Because the dates and locations of these 

events may change slightly from year to 

year, the specific information on each 

event, including the exact dates, specific 

areas, and description of the regulated 

area, would be provided to the public 

through a Local Notice to Mariners 

published before the event, as well as 

through Broadcast Notice to Mariners. 

This table would also be updated by the 

Coast Guard periodically to add new 

recurring events, remove events that no 

longer occur, and update listed events to 

ensure accurate information is provided. 

Based on the nature of marine events, 

large number of participants and 

spectators, and the event locations, the 

Coast Guard has determined that the 

events listed in this rule could pose a 

risk to participants or waterway users if 

normal vessel traffic were to interfere 

with the event. Possible hazards include 

risks of participant injury or death 

resulting from near or actual contact 

with non-participant vessels traversing 

through the regulated areas. In order to 

protect the safety of all waterway users 

including event participants and 

spectators, this rule would establish 

special local regulations for the time 

and location of each marine event. 

This prevents vessels from entering, 

transiting, mooring or anchoring within 

areas specifically designated as 

regulated areas during the periods of 

enforcement unless authorized by the 

Captain of the Port, or designated Coast 

Guard Patrol Commander. The 

designated ‘‘Patrol Commander’’ 

includes Coast Guard commissioned, 

warrant, or petty officer who has been 

designated by the Captain of the Port to 

act on their behalf. On-scene patrol 

commander may be augmented by local, 

State or Federal officials authorized to 

act in support of the Coast Guard. 

Discussion of Comments and Changes 

The Coast Guard did not receive 

comments in response to the notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published 

in the Federal Register. Accordingly, 

the Coast Guard is revising the special 

local regulations as outlined in this 

rulemaking and listed in the table to 

§ 100.501. 

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 

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 expect the economic impact of 

this rule to be so minimal that a full 

Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary. 

The effect of this action merely 

establishes the dates on which the 

existing regulations would be enforced 

and consolidates them within one 

regulation. It would not impose any 

additional restrictions on vessel traffic. 

Small Entities 

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act 

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

whether this 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 rule will 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 or operators of 

vessels intending to transit or anchor in 

the areas where marine events are being 

held. This regulation will not have a 

significant impact on a substantial 

number of small entities because it will 

only be enforced on marine events that 

have been permitted by the Coast Guard 

Captain of the Port. The Captain of the 

Port will ensure that small entities are 

able to operate in the areas where events 

are occurring. Additionally, in most 

cases, vessels will be able to safely 

transit around the regulated area at all 

times, and, with the permission of the 

Patrol Commander, vessels may transit 

through the regulated area. 

Assistance for Small Entities 

Under section 213(a) of the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121), 

in the NPRM we offered to assist small 

entities in understanding the rule so 

that they could better evaluate its effects 

on them and participate in the 

rulemaking process. 

Small businesses may send comments 

on the actions of Federal employees 

who enforce, or otherwise determine 

compliance with, Federal regulations to 

the Small Business and Agriculture 

Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman 

and the Regional Small Business 

Regulatory Fairness Boards. The 

Ombudsman evaluates these actions 

annually and rates each agency’s 

responsiveness to small business. If you 

wish to comment on actions by 

employees of the Coast Guard, call 

1–888–REG–FAIR (1–(888) 734–3247). 

The Coast Guard will not retaliate 

against small entities that question or 

complain about this rule or any policy 

or action of the Coast Guard. 

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 

will 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 cause a taking of 

private property or otherwise have 

taking implications under Executive 

Order 12630, Governmental Actions and 


EMCDONALD on DSK29S0YB1PROD with RULES
2632 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 12 / Thursday, January 19, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 

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 

does not create an environmental risk to 

health or risk to safety that may 

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 concluded this action is one of a 

category of actions that do not 

individually or cumulatively have a 

significant effect on the human 

environment. This rule is categorically 

excluded, under figure 2–1, paragraph 

(34)(h.), of the Instruction. This rule 

involves implementation of regulations 

within 33 CFR Part 100 that apply to 

organized marine events on the 

navigable waters of the United States 

that may have potential for negative 

impact on the safety or other interest of 

waterway users and shore side activities 

in the event area. The category of water 

activities includes but is not limited to 

sail boat regattas, boat parades, power 

boat racing, swimming events, crew 

racing, and sail board racing. Under 

figure 2–1, paragraph (34)(h.), of the 

Instruction, an environmental analysis 

checklist and a categorical exclusion 

determination are not required for this 

rule.

For the reasons discussed in the 

preamble, the Coast Guard amends 33 

CFR part 100 as follows: 

PART 100—SAFETY OF LIFE ON 

NAVIGABLE WATERS 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 100 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 33 U.S.C. 1233. 

■ 2. Revise section 100.501 to read as 

follows: 

§ 100.501 Special Local Regulations; 

Marine Events in the Fifth Coast Guard 

District. 

The following regulations apply to the 

marine events listed in the Table to 

§ 100.501. These regulations will be 

effective annually, for the duration of 

each event listed in the Table to 

§ 100.501. Annual notice of the exact 

dates and times of the effective period 

of the regulation with respect to each 

event, the geographical area, and details 

concerning the nature of the event and 

the number of participants and type(s) 

of vessels involved will be published in 

Local Notices to Mariners and via 

Broadcast Notice to Mariners over VHF– 

FM marine band radio. 

(a) Definitions. The following 

definitions apply to this section: 

(1) Coast Guard Patrol Commander. A 

Patrol Commander is a commissioned, 

warrant, or petty officer of the Coast 

Guard who has been designated by the 

respective Coast Guard Sector—Captain 

of the Port to enforce these regulations. 

(2) Official Patrol means any vessel 

assigned or approved by the respective 

Captain of the Port with a 

commissioned, warrant, or petty officer 

on board and displaying a Coast Guard 

ensign. 

(3) Spectators. All persons and vessels 

not registered with the event sponsor as 

participants or official patrol vessels. 

(b) Event Patrol. The Coast Guard may 

assign an event patrol, as described in 

§ 100.40 of this part, to each regulated 

event listed in the table. Additionally, a 

Patrol Commander may be assigned to 

oversee the patrol. The event patrol and 

Patrol Commander may be contacted on 

VHF–FM Channel 16. 

(c) Special local regulations. (1) The 

Coast Guard Patrol Commander may 

forbid and control the movement of all 

vessels in the regulated area(s). When 

hailed or signaled by an official patrol 

vessel, a vessel in these areas shall 

immediately comply with the directions 

given. Failure to do so may result in 

expulsion from the area, citation for 

failure to comply, or both. 

(2) The Coast Guard Patrol 

Commander may terminate the event, or 

the operation of any vessel participating 

in the event, at any time it is deemed 

necessary for the protection of life or 

property. 

(3) Only event sponsor designated 

participants and official patrol vessels 

are allowed to enter the regulated area. 

(4) Spectators are only allowed inside 

the regulated area if they remain within 

a designated spectator area. Spectators 

may contact the Coast Guard Patrol 

Commander to request permission to 

pass through the regulated area. If 

permission is granted, spectators must 

pass directly through the regulated area 

at safe speed and without loitering. 

(d) Contact information. Questions 

about marine events should be 

addressed to the local Coast Guard 

Captain of the Port for the area in which 

the event is occurring. Contact 

information is listed below. For a 

description of the geographical area of 

each Coast Guard Sector—Captain of the 

Port zone, please see subpart 3.25 of this
