Safety Zone; Recurring Safety Zone in 

Captain of the Port Sault Sainte Marie 

Zone 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, Homeland 

Security (DHS). 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is proposing 

to amend its recurring safety zone 

regulations in the Captain of the Port 

Sault Sainte Marie Zone. This proposed 

rule would update two safety zone 

locations and dates. This proposed 

amendment action is necessary to 

provide for the safety of life associated 

with annual marine events and firework 

displays on these navigable waters near 

Mackinaw City, MI, and Mackinac 

Island, MI. This proposed rulemaking 

would prohibit persons and vessels 

from being in the safety zones unless 

authorized by the Captain of the Port 

Sault Sainte Marie or a designated 

representative. We invite your 

comments on this proposed rulemaking. 

DATES: Comments and related material 

must be received by the Coast Guard on 

or before April 28, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

identified by docket number USCG– 

2022–0175 using the Federal 

eRulemaking Portal at https://

www.regulations.gov. See the ‘‘Public 

Participation and Request for 

Comments’’ portion of the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for 

further instructions on submitting 

comments. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If 

you have questions about this proposed 

rulemaking, call or email Lieutenant 

Deaven Palenzuela, Sector Sault Sainte 

Marie Waterways Management Division, 

U.S. Coast Guard; telephone 906–635–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

CFR Code of Federal Regulations 

DHS Department of Homeland Security 

FR Federal Register 

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking 

§ Section 

U.S.C. United States Code 

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal 

Basis 

On March 21, 2018, the Coast Guard 

published an NPRM in the Federal 

Register (83 FR 12307) entitled ‘‘Safety 

Zones; Recurring Safety Zones in 

Captain of the Port Sault Sainte Marie 

Zone.’’ The NPRM proposed to amend 

20 permanent safety zones for annually 

recurring events in the Captain of the 

Port Sault Sainte Marie Zone under 

§ 165.918. The NPRM was open for 

comment for 30 days. 

On April 20, 2018, the Coast Guard 

published the final rule in the Federal 

Register (83 FR 12307), after receiving 

no comments on the NPRM. Since that 

time there have been changes to the 

event that were listed in the final rule. 

Through this proposed rule the Coast 

Guard seeks to update § 165.918 to 

reflect the current status of a recurring 

marine event in the Captain of the Port 

Sault Sainte Marie Zone. 

The purpose of this rulemaking is to 

ensure the safety of vessels and the 

navigable waters within a 1000-foot 

radius of the fireworks barge before, 

during, and after the scheduled event. 

The Coast Guard is proposing this 

rulemaking under authority in 46 U.S.C. 

70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). 

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule 

The Captain of the Port Sault Sainte 

Marie (COTP) determines that an 

amendment to the recurring safety zones 

list as published in 33 CFR 165.918 is 

necessary to: Update two existing safety 

zone locations and duration of the 

events (Mackinaw Area Visitors Bureau 

Friday Night Fireworks and Mackinac 

Island Fourth of July Celebration 

Fireworks). The purpose of this rule is 

to ensure safety of vessels and the 

navigable waters in the safety zone 

before, during, and after the scheduled 

event and to improve the overall clarity 

and readability of the rule. The 

regulatory text we are proposing appears 

at the end of this document. 

The amendment to this proposed rule 

is necessary to ensure the safety of 

vessels and people during annual events 

taking place on or near federally 

maintained waterways in the Captain of 

the Port Sault Sainte Marie Zone. 

Although this proposed rule will be in 

effect year-round, the specific safety 

zones listed in Table 165.918 will only 

be enforced during a specified period of 

time. 

When a Notice of Enforcement for a 

particular safety zone is published, 

entry into, transiting through, or 

anchoring within the safety zone is 

prohibited unless authorized by the 

Captain of the Port Sault Sainte Marie, 

or his or her designated representative. 

The Captain of the Port Sault Sainte 

Marie or his or her designated 

representative may be contacted via 

VHF Channel 16 or telephone at 906– 

635–3319. No vessel or person will be 

permitted to enter the safety zone 

without obtaining permission from the 

COTP or a designated representative.

17962 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 60 / Tuesday, March 29, 2022 / Proposed Rules 

IV. 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 and 

Executive orders, and we discuss First 

Amendment rights of protestors. 

A. Regulatory Planning and Review 

Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

direct agencies to assess the costs and 

benefits of available regulatory 

alternatives and, if regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits. 

This NPRM has not been designated a 

‘‘significant regulatory action,’’ under 

Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, 

the NPRM has not been reviewed by the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB). 

This regulatory action determination 

is based on the size, location, duration, 

and time-of-day for each safety zone. 

Vessel traffic will be able to safely 

transit around all safety zones which 

will impact small designated areas 

within the COTP zone for short 

durations of time. Moreover, the Coast 

Guard will issue Broadcast Notice to 

Mariners via VHF channel 16 about the 

zone and the rule allows vessels to seek 

permission to enter the zone. 

B. Impact on Small Entities 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 

1980, 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 would not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities. 

While some owners or operators of 

vessels intending to transit the safety 

zone may be small entities, for the 

reasons stated in section IV.A above, 

this proposed rule would not have a 

significant economic impact on any 

vessel owner or operator. 

If you think that your business, 

organization, or governmental 

jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity 

and that this proposed 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. 

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 

proposed rule would affect your small 

business, organization, or governmental 

jurisdiction and you have questions 

concerning its provisions or options for 

compliance, please call or email the 

person listed in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section. 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. 

C. Collection of Information 

This proposed rule would not call for 

a new collection of information under 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520). 

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal 

Governments 

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 is consistent 

with the fundamental federalism 

principles and preemption requirements 

described in Executive Order 13132. 

Also, 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. 

If you believe this proposed rule has 

implications for federalism or Indian 

tribes, please call or email the person 

listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT section. 

E. 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 

potential effects of this proposed rule 

elsewhere in this preamble. 

F. Environment 

We have analyzed this proposed rule 

under Department of Homeland 

Security Directive 023–01, Rev. 1, 

associated implementing instructions, 

and Environmental Planning 

COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), which 

guide the Coast Guard in complying 

with the National Environmental Policy 

Act of 1969 (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 proposed 

rule involves a three safety zones: The 

Mackinac City Tuesday and Friday 

Night Firworks will have one safety 

zone lasting 2.5 hours that would 

prohibit entry within 1,000 feet of a 

fireworks barge and the Annual 

Mackinac Island Independence Day 

Fireworks will have two safety zones 

lasting 1 hour that would prohibit entry 

within 750 feet of the fireworks barges. 

Normally such actions are categorically 

excluded from further review under 

paragraph L60(a) of Appendix A, Table 

1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023–01– 

001–01, Rev. 1. A preliminary Record of 

Environmental Consideration 

supporting this determination is 

available in the docket. For instructions 

on locating the docket, see the 

ADDRESSES section of this preamble. We 

seek any comments or information that 

may lead to the discovery of a 

significant environmental impact from 

this proposed rule. 

G. Protest Activities 

The Coast Guard respects the First 

Amendment rights of protesters. 

Protesters are asked to call or email 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. 

V. Public Participation and Request for 

Comments 

We view public participation as 

essential to effective rulemaking, and 

will consider all comments and material 

received during the comment period. 

Your comment can help shape the 

outcome of this rulemaking. If you
