SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

current Federal oil valuation regulations 

have been in effect since 2000, with a 

subsequent amendment relating, 

primarily, to the use of index pricing in 

some circumstances. The current 

Federal gas valuation regulations have 

been in effect since March 1, 1988, with 

various subsequent amendments 

relating, primarily, to the transportation 

allowance provisions. The current 

Federal and Indian coal valuation 

regulations have been in effect since 

March 1, 1989, with minor subsequent 

amendments relating, primarily, to the 

Federal black lung excise taxes, 

abandoned mine lands fees, State and 

local severance taxes, and washing and 

transportation allowance provisions. In 

the years since we wrote these 

regulations, the Secretary of the 

Interior’s (Secretary) responsibility to 

determine the royalty value of minerals 

produced has not changed, but the 

industry and marketplace have changed 

dramatically. ONRR proposes these 

amendments to our valuation 

regulations to permit the Secretary to 

discharge the Department of the 

Interior’s (Department) royalty valuation 

responsibility in an environment of 

continuing and accelerating change in 

the industry and in the marketplace. 

The Secretary’s responsibilities 

regarding oil and gas production from 

Federal leases and coal production from 

Federal and Indian leases require the 

development of flexible valuation 

methodologies that lessees can 

accurately comply with in a timely 

manner. 

To increase the effectiveness and 

efficiency of our rules, ONRR is 

proposing proactive and innovative 

changes. We intend for this proposed 

rulemaking to provide regulations that 

(1) offer greater simplicity, certainty, 

clarity, and consistency in product 

valuation for mineral lessees and 

mineral revenue recipients; (2) are more 

understandable; (3) decrease industry’s 

cost of compliance and ONRR’s cost to 

ensure industry compliance; and (4) 

provide early certainty to industry and 

to ONRR that companies have paid 

every dollar due. Therefore, ONRR 

proposes to amend the current 

regulations at 30 CFR part 1202, subpart 

F, and part 1206, subparts C, D, F, and 

J, governing the valuation, for royalty 

purposes, of oil, gas, and coal produced 

from Federal leases and coal produced 

from Indian leases. 

ONRR received requests for an 

extension to the comment deadline for 

this proposed rule. This action extends 

the comment period until May 8, 2015. 

ONRR believes that this extension 

allows adequate time for interested 

parties to submit comments. ONRR will 

review and carefully consider all 

comments that we receive on the 

proposed rule. 

Dated: February 6, 2015.

Special Local Regulations and Safety 

Zones; Recurring Marine Events and 

Fireworks Displays Within the Fifth 

Coast Guard District 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to 

amend the regulations established for 

recurring marine events and fireworks 

displays that take place within the Fifth 

Coast Guard District area of 

responsibility. Under that rule, the list 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 30 / Friday, February 13, 2015 / Proposed Rules 7995 

of recurring marine events requiring 

special local regulations or safety zones 

is updated with revisions, additional 

events, and removal of events that no 

longer take place in the Fifth Coast 

Guard District. When these regulations 

are enforced, certain restrictions are 

placed on marine traffic in specified 

areas. This rulemaking project promotes 

efficiency by eliminating the need to 

produce a separate rule for each 

individual recurring event, and serves to 

provide notice of the known recurring 

events requiring a special local 

regulation or safety zone throughout the 

year.

B. Regulatory History and Information 

The special local regulations listed in 

33 CFR 100.501 and safety zones listed 

in 33 CFR 165.506 were last amended 

on July 21, 2014 (79 FR 42197). 

C. Basis and Purpose 

This rulemaking is authorized by 33 

U.S.C. 1231, 1233; 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; and 

DHS Delegation No. 0170.1. It updates 

the list of permanent special local 

regulations at 33 CFR 100.501 and safety 

zones at 33 CFR 165.506, established for 

recurring marine events and fireworks 

displays at various locations within the 

Fifth Coast Guard District area of 

responsibility (AOR). The Fifth Coast 

Guard District AOR is defined in 33 CFR 

3.25. 

Publishing these regulatory updates in 

a single rulemaking promotes efficiency 

and provides the public with notice 

through publication in the Federal 

Register of the upcoming recurring 

marine events and fireworks displays 

and their accompanying regulations, 

special local regulations, and safety 

zones. 

D. Discussion of Proposed Rule 

Special Local Regulations 

This rule would add 2 new special 

local regulations for marine events, 

remove 1 regulation and revise 10 

previously established regulations for 

marine events listed in the Table to 

§ 100.501. Other than changes to the 

dates and locations of certain events, the 

other provisions in 33 CFR 100.501 

remain unchanged. 

The Coast Guard proposes to revise 

regulations at 33 CFR 100.501 by adding 

2 new special local regulations. The 

proposed special local regulations are 

listed in TABLE 1, including reference 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
7996 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 30 / Friday, February 13, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

by section as printed in the TABLE to 

§ 100.501. 

TABLE 1 

[Special local regulated areas added to 33 CFR 100.501] 

Table to § 100.501 section Location 

1 ........................................ (b.) 12 ................................ Rock Hall Harbor, Rock Hall, MD. 

2 ........................................ (b.) 23 ................................ Nanticoke River, Bivalve channel and harbor, Bivalve, MD. 

One previously published special 

local regulation for marine event would 

be removed from 33 CFR 100.501, i.e. 

‘‘Ragin on the River’’ power boat race 

that took place on the Susquehanna 

River, near Port Deposit, MD. 

This rule would revise 10 preexisting 

special local regulations that involves 

change to marine event date(s) and/or 

coordinates. These events are listed in 

TABLE 2, with reference by section as 

printed in the TABLE to § 100.501.

10 ......................... (b.) 21 ..................... North Atlantic Ocean, Ocean City, MD ....................................... dates. 

Based on the nature of marine events, 

large number of participants and 

spectators, and 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 establishes special 

local regulations for the time and 

location of each marine event. 

This rule 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 

(COTP), or designated Coast Guard 

Patrol Commander. The designated 

‘‘Patrol Commander’’ includes Coast 

Guard commissioned, warrant, or petty 

officer who has been designated by the 

COTP 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. 

Safety Zones 

This rule would add 6 new safety 

zones, remove 1 safety zone and revise 

11 previously established safety zones 

listed in the Table to § 165.506. Other 

than changes to the dates and locations 

of certain safety zones, the other 

provisions in 33 CFR 165.506 remain 

unchanged. 

The Coast Guard proposes to revise 

the regulations at 33 CFR 165.506 by 

adding 6 new safety zone locations to 

the permanent regulations listed in this 

section. The new safety zones are listed 

in TABLE 3, including reference by 

section as printed in the Table to 

§ 165.506. 

TABLE 3 

[Safety zones added to 33 CFR 165.506] 

Table to § 165.506 section Location 

1 .......... (b.) 4 ......................................... Upper Potomac River, Washington, DC. 

2 .......... (c.) 22 ....................................... Urbanna Creek, Urbanna, VA. 

3 .......... (c.) 23 ....................................... Elizabeth River—Eastern Branch, Norfolk, VA.

5 .......... (d.) 17 ....................................... Pasquotank River, Elizabeth City, NC. 

6 .......... (d.) 18 ....................................... Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, Bogue Inlet, Swansboro, NC. 

One safety zone would be removed 

from 33 CFR 165.506, specifically, the 

fireworks display that took place over 

the Potomac River, near Newburg, MD. 

The rule would revise 11 preexisting 

safety zones that involves change to 

event date(s) and coordinates. These 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 30 / Friday, February 13, 2015 / Proposed Rules 7997 

revised safety zones are shown in Table 4, with reference by section as printed

Each year, organizations in the Fifth 

Coast Guard District sponsor fireworks 

displays in the same general location 

and time period. Each event uses a barge 

or an on-shore site near the shoreline as 

the fireworks launch platform. A safety 

zone is used to control vessel movement 

within a specified distance surrounding 

the launch platforms to ensure the 

safety of persons and property. Coast 

Guard personnel on scene may allow 

boaters within the safety zone if 

conditions permit. 

The enforcement period for these 

safety zones is from 5:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. 

local time. However, vessels may enter, 

remain in, or transit through these safety 

zones during this time frame if 

authorized by the COTP or designated 

Coast Guard patrol commander on 

scene, as provided for in 33 CFR 165.23. 

This rule provides for the safety of life 

on navigable waters during the events. 

E. 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 or 

executive orders. 

1. 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. 

We expect the economic impact of 

this rule to be so minimal that a full 

Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary. 

This finding is based on the short 

amount of time that vessels will be 

restricted from regulated areas, and the 

small size of these areas that are usually 

positioned away from high vessel traffic 

zones. Generally vessels would not be 

precluded from getting underway, or 

mooring at any piers or marinas 

currently located in the vicinity of the 

regulated areas. Advance notifications 

would also be made to the local 

maritime community by issuance of 

Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast 

Notice to Mariners, Marine information 

and facsimile broadcasts so mariners 

can adjust their plans accordingly. 

Notifications to the public for most 

events will typically be made by local 

newspapers, radio and TV stations. The 

Coast Guard anticipates that these 

special local regulated areas and safety 

zones will only be enforced one to three 

times per year. 

2. Impact on Small Entities 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 

(RFA), 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 will not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities. 

This rule will affect the following 

entities some of which may be small 

entities: The owners and operators of 

vessels intending to transit or anchor in 

these regulated areas during the times 

the zones are enforced. 

These special local regulated areas 

and safety zones will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities for 

the following reasons: The Coast Guard 

will ensure that small entities are able 

to operate in the areas where events are 

occurring to the extent possible while 

ensuring the safety of event participants 

and spectators. The enforcement period 

will be short in duration and, in many 

of the areas, vessels can transit safely 

around the regulated area. Generally, 

blanket permission to enter, remain in, 

or transit through these regulated areas 

will be given, except during the period 

that the Coast Guard patrol vessel is 

present. Before the enforcement period, 

we will issue maritime advisories 

widely. 

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. 

3. 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. 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 the person 

listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT, above. 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.

4. Collection of Information 

This proposed rule will not call for a 

new collection of information under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501–3520.). 

5. 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. 

6. Protest Activities 

The Coast Guard respects the First 

Amendment rights of protesters. 

Protesters are asked to contact the 

person listed in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section to 

coordinate protest activities so that your 

message can be received without 

jeopardizing the safety or security of 

people, places or vessels. 

7. 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. 

8. 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. 

9. 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. 

10. Protection of Children From 

Environmental Health Risks 

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. 

11. 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. 

12. Energy Effects 

This proposed rule is not a 

‘‘significant energy action’’ under 

Executive Order 13211, Actions 

Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use. 

13. Technical Standards 

This proposed rule does not use 

technical standards. Therefore, we did 

not consider the use of voluntary 

consensus standards. 

14. 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 rule involves implementation of 

regulations within 33 CFR part 100 that 

apply to organized marine events on the 

navigable waters of the United States. 

Some marine events by their nature may 

introduce potential for adverse impact 

on the safety or other interest of 

waterway users or waterfront 

infrastructure within or close proximity 

to 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. This 

section of the rule is categorically 

excluded from further review under 

paragraph 34(h) of Figure 2–1 of the 

Commandant Instruction. An 

environmental analysis checklist 

supporting this determination and a 

Categorical Exclusion Determination are 

not required for this section of the rule. 

This rule involves implementation of 

regulations at 33 CFR part 165 that 

establish safety zones on navigable 

waters of the United States for fireworks 

events. These safety zones are enforced 

for the duration of fireworks display 

events. The fireworks are generally 

launched from or immediately adjacent 

to navigable waters of the United States. 

The category of activities includes 

fireworks launched from barges or at the 

shoreline that generally rely on the use 

of navigable waters as a safety buffer. 

Fireworks displays may introduce 

potential hazards such as accidental 

discharge of fireworks, dangerous 

projectiles, and falling hot embers or 

other debris. This section of the rule is 

categorically excluded from further 

review under paragraph 34(g) of Figure 

2–1 of the Commandant Instruction. A 

preliminary environmental analysis 

checklist supporting this determination 

and a Categorical Exclusion 

Determination are available in the 

docket where indicated under 

ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or 

information that may lead to the 

discovery of a significant environmental 

impact from this rule.
