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. 

11. 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. 

12. Energy Effects 

This action 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 rule does not use technical 

standards. Therefore, we did not 

consider the use of voluntary consensus 

standards. 

14. 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 which do not 

individually or cumulatively have a 

significant effect on the human 

environment. This rule involves the 

establishment of a special local 

regulation issued in conjunction with a 

regatta or marine parade, and, therefore 

it is categorically excluded from further 

review under paragraph 34(h) of Figure 

2–1 of the Commandant Instruction. 

During the annual permitting process 

for this event an environmental analysis 

was conducted, and thus, no 

preliminary environmental analysis 

checklist or Categorical Exclusion 

Determination (CED) are required for 

this rulemaking action. We seek any 

comments or information that may lead 

to the discovery of a significant 

environmental impact from this rule.

Special Local Regulations and Safety 

Zones; Recurring Marine Events and 

Fireworks Displays Within the Fifth 

Coast Guard District 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is issuing a 

final rule that revises the list of special 

local regulations and safety zones 

established for recurring marine events 

and fireworks displays that take place 

within the Fifth Coast Guard District 

area of responsibility. Under this rule, 

the list 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. 

DATES: This rule is effective May 18, 

2015.

FR Federal Register 

NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

A. 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). 

On February 13, 2015, we published 

a notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM) entitled ‘‘Special Local 

Regulations and Safety Zones; Recurring 

Marine Events and Fireworks Displays 

within the Fifth Coast Guard District’’ in 

the Federal Register (80 FR 7994). We 

received one favorable comment on the 

proposed rule. 

No public meeting was requested, and 

none was held. 

B. Basis and Purpose 

This rulemaking is authorized by 33 

U.S.C. 1231, 1233; 33 CFR 1.05–1, 

160.5; 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. 

C. Discussion of Comments, Changes 

and the Final Rule 

Coast Guard Sector Baltimore, MD 

submitted changes for a special local 

regulation for marine event and a safety 

zone for fireworks display that were 

published on February 13, 2015 in the 

notice of proposed rulemaking. The 

changes are included in the Table to 

§ 100.501, (b.) line 23, Date. The date for 

this marine event was expanded to 

include the 3rd Sunday. Change was 

made to the Table to § 165.506, (b.) line 

1, Regulated Area. The regulated area 

for this fireworks display was changed 

to 500 yard radius. This change was 

made to provide a larger safety buffer 

within Washington Channel due to the 

anticipated high density of spectator 

vessels that typically congregate for this 

event. These changes do not affect the 

location or total number of regulated 

areas previously listed in the NPRM. 

One commenter generally supported 

the proposed listing of all marine events 

in the Fifth District area of 

responsibility. No changes were made to 

the proposed rule based upon this 

comment. 

Special Local Regulations 

This rule adds 2 new special local 

regulations for marine events, removes 1 

regulation and revises 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 has revised 

regulations at 33 CFR 100.501 by adding 

2 new special local regulations. The 

special local regulations are listed in 

Table 1, including reference by section 

as printed in the Table to § 100.501.

One previously published special 

local regulation for marine event was 

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 revises 10 preexisting 

special local regulations that involve 

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.

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 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
20420 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 73 / Thursday, April 16, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

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 adds 6 new safety zones, 

removes 1 safety zone and revises 12 

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 has revised 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.

River, near Newburg, MD. 

The rule revises 12 preexisting safety 

zones that involve change to event

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. 

D. Regulatory Analyses 

We developed this rule after 

considering numerous statutes and 

executive orders related to rulemaking. 

Below we summarize our analyses 

based on these statutes and executive 

orders. 

1. 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 Executive Order 12866 

or under section 1 of Executive Order 

13563. The Office of Management and 

Budget has not reviewed it under those 

Orders. 

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 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 73 / Thursday, April 16, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 20421 

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 received no comments 

from the Small Business Administration 

on this rule. 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. 

(1) 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. 

(2) 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. 

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 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. 

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. 

4. Collection of Information 

This 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 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 rule 

will not result in such an expenditure, 

we do discuss the effects of this rule 

elsewhere in this preamble. 

8. 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 

Interference with Constitutionally 

Protected Property Rights. 

9. 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. 

10. 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. 

11. 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. 

12. Energy Effects 

This action 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 rule does not use technical 

standards. Therefore, we did not 

consider the use of voluntary consensus 

standards. 

14. 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 determined 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 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
20422 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 73 / Thursday, April 16, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

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.

Coast Guard 

33 CFR Part 117 

[Docket No. USCG–2014–0213] 

RIN 1625–AA09 

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; 

Coquille River, Bandon, OR 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is changing 

the operating schedule that governs the 

U.S. 101 highway drawbridge also 

known as Bullard’s Drawbridge, near 

Bandon, Oregon. The change will allow 

the drawbridge to permanently remain 

in the closed-to-navigation position, no 

longer opening for vessel traffic. While 

there is vessel traffic on this waterway, 

no one has requested a drawbridge 

opening since 1998. Oregon Department 

of Transportation (ODOT) owns the 

bridge and requested to update the 

operating schedule accordingly. 

DATES: This rule is effective May 18, 

2015.
