B. Regulatory History and Information 

The two regulatory sections that the 

Coast Guard proposes to amend were 

originally established in 2011. The final 

rule for 33 CFR 100.120 and 165.171 

was published on March 30, 2011 (76 

FR 17532 and 76 FR 17537). The final 

rule was created in order to reduce 

administrative overhead, expedite 

public notification of events, and ensure 

the protection of the maritime public 

during approximately 180 marine events 

in the Sector Northern New England 

area. Each year since these two sections 

were created, the table in each 

regulatory section has been updated to 

reflect changes in regular recurring 

events, such as additions or deletions of 

events or updates to pertinent event 

details. The Coast Guard has received 

no comments from the public since 

these two sections were originally 

established. 

C. Basis and Purpose 

The legal basis for the proposed rule 

is 33 U.S.C. 1231; 50 U.S.C. 191; 33 CFR 

1.05–1, 6.04–1, 6.04–6, and 160.5; and 

Department of Homeland Security 

Delegation No. 0170.1, which 

collectively authorize the Coast Guard 

to establish safety zones and special 

local regulations. 

Swim events, fireworks displays, and 

marine events are held on an annual 

recurring basis on the navigable waters 

within the Coast Guard Sector Northern 

New England COTP Zone. In the past, 

the Coast Guard has established special 

local regulations, regulated areas, and 

safety zones for these annual recurring 

events on a case by case basis to ensure 

the protection of the maritime public 

and event participants from the hazards 

associated with these events. As 

mentioned above, the Coast Guard has 

not received public comments or 

concerns regarding the impact to 

waterway traffic from the Coast Guard’s 

regulations associated with these 

annually recurring events. In the past 

year, events were assessed for their 

likelihood to recur in subsequent years 

or to discontinue, and were added to or 

deleted from the tables accordingly. In 

addition, minor changes to existing 

events were made to ensure the 

accuracy of event details. 

D. Discussion of Proposed Rule 

The Coast Guard proposes to amend 

33 CFR 100.120 (Special Local 

Regulations) and 33 CFR 165.171 (Safety 

Zones). The proposed rule would 

update the tables of annual recurring 

events in the existing regulations for the 

Coast Guard Sector Northern New 

England COTP Zone. The tables provide 

the event name, sponsor, and type, as 

well as approximate times, dates, and 

locations of the events. Advanced 

public notification of specific times, 

dates, regulated areas, and enforcement 

periods for each event will be provided 

through appropriate means, which may 

include, but are not limited to, the Local 

Notice to Mariners, Broadcast Notice to 

Mariners, or a Notice of Enforcement 

published in the Federal Register at 

least 30 days prior to the event date. If 

an event does not have a date and time 

listed in this regulation, then the precise 

dates and times of the enforcement 

period for that event will be announced 

through a Local Notice to Mariners and, 

if time permits, a Notice of Enforcement 

in the Federal Register. 

E. Regulatory Analyses 

The Coast Guard developed this 

proposed rule after considering 

numerous statutes and executive orders 

related to rulemaking. Below we 

summarize our analyses based on 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, and does not 

require an assessment of potential costs 

and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that 

Order. The Office of Management and 

Budget has not reviewed it under that 

Order. 

We expect the economic impact of 

this proposed rule to be minimal. 

Although this regulation may have some 

impact on the public, the potential 

impact will be minimized for the 

following reasons: the Coast Guard is 

only modifying an existing regulation to 

account for new information. 

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 proposed rule would affect the 

following entities, some of which might 

be small entities: Owners or operators of 

vessels intending to transit, fish, or 

anchor in the areas where the listed 

annual recurring events are being held. 

The proposed rule would not have a 

significant impact on a substantial 

number of small entities for all of the 

same reasons discussed in the 

Regulatory Planning and Review section 

above. 

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 


TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
15534 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 56 / Tuesday, March 24, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

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 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 the person 

listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT. 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 would call for no 

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 have determined that it 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 

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 rulemaking 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. 

A preliminary environmental analysis 

checklist supporting this determination 

will be available in the docket where 

indicated under ADDRESSES. This 

proposed rule involves water activities 

including swimming events and 

fireworks displays. This rule may be 

categorically excluded, under figure 2– 

1, paragraph (34)(g) (Safety Zones) and 

(34)(h) (Special Local Regulations) of 

the Instruction. We seek any comments 

or information that may lead to the 

discovery of a significant environmental 

impact from this proposed rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

A. The Buy American statute (41 

U.S.C. chapter 83) generally requires 

that only domestically mined, 

produced, or manufactured articles be 

procured for public use in the United 

States. The Buy American statute 

provides an exception for articles not 

mined, produced, or manufactured in 

the United States in sufficient and 

reasonably available commercial 

quantities and of a satisfactory quality. 

FAR 25.103(b)(1) provides a 

determination that articles listed at FAR 

25.104(a) meet the conditions of this 

exception. This determination does not 

necessarily mean that there is no 

domestic source for the listed items, but 

that domestic sources can only meet 50 

percent or less of total U.S. Government 

and nongovernment demand. 

The established list of articles 

identified in FAR 25.104(a) is a 

comprehensive and wide-ranging mix of 

natural resources, compounds, 

materials, and other items of supply. 

Although some articles on the list have 

no known domestic production sources 

(e.g., vanilla beans), many of the articles 

are known to have some domestic 

production sources, but those sources 

have been determined in the past to be 

inadequate to meet U.S. demand. 

Examples of such articles range from 

goat and kidskins (negligible domestic 

production), to crude iodine (5 percent 

of U.S. Government and nongovernment 

demand), to bismuth (not in excess of 50 

percent of U.S. Government and 

nongovernment demand). 

The list is reviewed every five years, 

as required by FAR 25.104(b). DoD, 

GSA, and NASA last published in the 

Federal Register a request for public 

comment on the list on August 7, 2009 

(74 FR 39597). 

The Councils are seeking information 

to determine whether some articles 

should be removed from the list because 

they are now mined, produced, or 

manufactured in the United States in 

sufficient and reasonably available 

commercial quantities and of a 

satisfactory quality. Specific 

information with regard to domestic 

production capacity in relation to U.S. 

Government and nongovernment 

demand and the quality of domestically 

produced items would be most helpful 

in determining whether articles should 

remain on or be removed from the list. 

A sources-sought notice will be 

published in FedBizOpps in an effort to 

increase the awareness of this request 

and to receive greater responses from 

interested parties on the nonavailable 

articles listing. 

B. The current domestically 

nonavailable listing at FAR 25.104 is as 

follow: 

• Acetylene, black. 

• Agar, bulk. 

• Anise. 

• Antimony, as metal or oxide. 

• Asbestos, amosite, chrysotile, and 

crocidolite. 

• Bamboo shoots. 

• Bananas. 

• Bauxite. 

• Beef, corned, canned. 

• Beef extract. 

• Bephenium hydroxynapthoate.
