§ Section 

A. Regulatory History and 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 with 

respect to this rule because waiting for 

a notice and comment period to run 

would be impracticable. The final 

details of this boat race were not 

provided from the event sponsor to the 

Coast Guard with sufficient time for the 

Coast Guard to publish an NPRM and 

solicit public comments before the 

occurrence of the event. Thus, waiting 

for a notice and comment period to run 

would inhibit the Coast Guard’s ability 

to protect the public from the hazards 

associated with this boat race. 

Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast 

Guard finds that good cause exists for 

making this rule effective less than 30 

days after publication in the Federal 

Register. For the same reasons 

discussed in the preceding paragraph, 

waiting for a 30 day notice period to run 

would be impracticable and contrary to 

the public interest. 

B. Basis and Purpose 

On April 25, 2015, the Wyandotte 

Boat Club is holding a rowing race that 

will require the immediate area to be 

clear of all vessel traffic. The rowing 

race will occur from 7 a.m. until 4:30 

p.m. The Captain of the Port Detroit has 

determined that the likely combination 

of recreation vessels, commercial 

vessels, and large numbers of spectators 

in close proximity to the boat race along 

the water pose extra and unusual 

hazards to public safety and property. 

Thus, the Captain of the Port Detroit has 

determined that establishing a Special 

Local Regulation around the location of 

the race’s course will help minimize 

risks to safety of life and property 

during this event. 

C. Discussion of Rule 

This rule will be enforced from 7 a.m. 

until 4:30 p.m. on April 25, 2015. It will 

encompass all waters of the Detroit 

River, Trenton Channel between the 

following two lines going from bank-tobank: The first line is drawn directly 

across the channel from position 

42°10′58′′ N., 083°9′23′′ W. (NAD 83); 

the second line, to the north, is drawn 

directly across the channel from 

position 42°11′44′′ N., 083°8′56′′ W. 

(NAD 83). This regulation will be 

enforced on April 25, 2015, from 7 a.m. 

until 4:30 p.m. 

Two thirds of the Trenton Channel on 

the western portion of the regulated 

area, from the Wyandotte shoreline to a 

point approximately 670 feet east into 

the channel, will be designated as the 

race zone, while the remaining third 

portion on the eastern side of the 

regulated area, approximately 330 feet 

in width, will be designated as a 

spectator zone for pleasure crafts. 

Entry into, transiting, or anchoring 

within the regulated area is prohibited 

unless authorized by the Captain of the 

Port Detroit or his designated on-scene 

representative. Entry into and transiting 

within the spectator zone of the 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 73 / Thursday, April 16, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 20417 

regulated area is only authorized at nowake speed and requires the 

authorization of the Captain of the Port 

or his designated on-scene 

representative. The races will stop for 

oncoming freighter or commercial 

traffic. The on-scene representative or 

event sponsor representatives may 

permit vessels to transit the area when 

no race activity is occurring. The onscene representative may be present on 

any Coast Guard, state or local law 

enforcement vessel assigned to patrol 

the event. 

The Captain of the Port or his 

designated on-scene representative will 

notify the affected segments of the 

public of the enforcement of this rule by 

all appropriate means, including a 

Broadcast Notice to Mariners and Local 

Notice to Mariners. The Captain of the 

Port or his designated on-scene 

representative may be contacted via 

VHF Channel 16. 

D. Regulatory Analyses 

We developed this rule after 

considering numerous statutes and 

executive orders related to rulemaking. 

Below we summarize our analyses 

based on several of these statutes or 

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. It is not ‘‘significant’’ under the 

regulatory policies and procedures of 

the Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS). 

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 Coast Guard’s use of this special 

local regulation will be of relatively 

small size and short duration, and it is 

designed to minimize the impact on 

navigation. Moreover, vessels may, 

when circumstances allow, obtain 

permission from the Captain of the Port 

to transit through the area affected by 

this special local regulations. Overall, 

the Coast Guard expects minimal impact 

to vessel movement from the 

enforcement of this special local 

regulation. 

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 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 might be small 

entities: The owners or operators of 

vessels intending to transit or anchor in 

this portion of the Trenton Channel near 

Wyandotte, MI between 7 a.m. until 

4:30 p.m. on April 25, 2015. 

This special local regulation will not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities 

for the following reasons: This rule will 

only be in effect and enforced for less 

than 10 hours on one day. The race 

event will be temporarily stopped for 

any deep draft vessels transiting through 

the shipping lanes. The Coast Guard 

will give notice to the public via a 

Broadcast Notice to Mariners that the 

regulation is in effect, allowing vessel 

owners and operators to plan 

accordingly. 

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 to that they can 

better evaluate its effects on them. If this 

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 section 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 

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 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 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
20418 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 73 / Thursday, April 16, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

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.
