Special Local Regulation; St. Mary’s 

River, St. George’s Creek, Piney Point, 

MD 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, Homeland 

Security (DHS). 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is proposing 

to establish temporary special local 

regulations for certain waters of the St. 

Mary’s River. This action is necessary to 

provide for the safety of life on these 

navigable waters located at Piney Point, 

MD, during a high-speed power boat 

demonstration event on June 4, 2022, 

and June 5, 2022. This proposed 

rulemaking would prohibit persons and 

vessels from being in the regulated area 

unless authorized by the Captain of the 

Port, Maryland-National Capital Region 

or the Coast Guard Event Patrol 

Commander. We invite your comments 

on this proposed rulemaking. 

DATES: Comments and related material

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking 

PATCOM Coast Guard Patrol Commander 

§ Section 

U.S.C. United States Code 

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal 

Basis 

The Southern Maryland Boat Club of 

Leonardtown, MD, notified the Coast 

Guard that it will be conducting the 

Southern Maryland Boat Club Piney 

Point Rumble on the River Regatta from 

8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June 4, 2022, and 

from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June 5, 2022. 

The high-speed power boat 

demonstration event consists of 

approximately 55 participating vintage 

and historic race boats—including 

runabouts, v-bottoms, tunnel hulls, and 

hydroplanes—8 to 21 feet in length. The 

vessels will be participating in an 

exhibition, operating in heats along a 

marked racetrack-type course 1 mile in 

length and 200 feet in width, located in 

the St. George Creek at Piney Point, MD. 

The regatta is not a competition, but 

rather a demonstration of vintage race 

craft. Hazards from the high-speed 

power boat demonstration event include 

participants operating within and 

adjacent to designated navigation 

channels and interfering with vessels 

intending to operate within those 

channels, as well as operating near 

approaches to local public boat 

landings. The COTP Maryland-National 

Capital Region has determined that 

potential hazards associated with the 

high-speed power boat event would be 

a safety concern for anyone intending to 

participate in this event and for vessels 

that operate within specified waters of 

St. George Creek. 

The purpose of this rulemaking is to 

protect event participants, nonparticipants, and transiting vessels 

before, during, and after the scheduled 

event. The Coast Guard is proposing this 

rulemaking under authority in 46 U.S.C. 

70041. 

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule 

The COTP Maryland-National Capital 

Region proposes to establish special 

local regulations from 7:30 a.m. on June 

4, 2022, through 5 p.m. on June 5, 2022. 

The regulations would be enforced from 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 67 / Thursday, April 7, 2022 / Proposed Rules 20365 

7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on June 4, 2022, and 

from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on June 5, 2022. 

The regulated area would cover all 

navigable waters of St. George Creek, 

within an area bounded by a line 

connecting the following points: From 

the shoreline at Cedar Point at position 

latitude 38°09′03.4′′ N, longitude 

076°29′55.7′′ W; thence south along the 

shoreline to Coade Bar at latitude 

38°08′22.5′′ N, longitude 076°29′19.9′′ 

W; thence southeast across St. George 

Creek to Dodson Point at latitude 

38°08′03.8′′ N, longitude 076°29′44.6′′ 

W; thence north along the shoreline and 

the eastern extent of the St. George 

Island (SR–249) Bridge to Long Bar (at 

the entrance to St. George Harbor) at 

latitude 38°08′50.6′′ N, longitude 

076°30′13.0′′ W; thence northeast across 

St. George Creek to and terminating at 

the point of origin. The regulated area 

is approximately 1,750 yards in length 

and 940 yards in width. 

This proposed rule provides 

additional information about areas 

within the regulated area, and their 

definitions and the restrictions that 

would apply to mariners. These areas 

include ‘‘Race Area,’’ ‘‘Buffer Area,’’ 

and ‘‘Spectator Area.’’ 

The proposed duration of the special 

local regulations and size of the 

regulated area are intended to ensure 

the safety of life on these navigable 

waters before, during, and after the 

high-speed power boat event scheduled 

to take place from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on 

June 4, 2022, and from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. 

on June 5, 2022. The COTP and the 

Coast Guard Event PATCOM would 

have authority to forbid and control the 

movement of all vessels and persons, 

including event participants, in the 

regulated area. When hailed or signaled 

by an official patrol, a vessel or person 

in the regulated area would be required 

to immediately comply with the 

directions given by the COTP or Event 

PATCOM. If a person or vessel fails to 

follow such directions, the Coast Guard 

may expel them from the area, issue 

them a citation for failure to comply, or 

both. 

Except for Southern Maryland Boat 

Club Piney Point Rumble on the River 

Regatta participants and vessels already 

at berth, a vessel or person would be 

required to get permission from the 

COTP or Event PATCOM before 

entering the regulated area. Vessel 

operators would be able to request 

permission to enter and transit through 

the regulated area by contacting the 

Event PATCOM on VHF–FM channel 

16. Vessel traffic would be able to safely 

transit the regulated area once the Event 

PATCOM deems it safe to do so. A 

vessel within the regulated area must 

operate at safe speed that minimizes 

wake. A person or vessel not registered 

with the event sponsor as a participant 

or assigned as official patrols would be 

considered a spectator. Official Patrols 

are any vessel assigned or approved by 

the Commander, Coast Guard Sector 

Maryland-National Capital Region with 

a commissioned, warrant, or petty 

officer on board and displaying a Coast 

Guard ensign. Official Patrols enforcing 

this regulated area can be contacted on 

VHF–FM channel 16 and channel 22A. 

If permission is granted by the COTP 

or Event PATCOM, a person or vessel 

would be allowed to enter the regulated 

area or pass directly through the 

regulated area as instructed. Vessels 

would be required to operate at a safe 

speed that minimizes wake while 

within the regulated area in a manner 

that would not endanger event 

participants or any other craft. A 

spectator vessel must not loiter within 

the navigable channel while within the 

regulated area. Official patrol vessels 

would direct spectators to the 

designated spectator area. Only 

participant vessels and official patrol 

vessels would be allowed to enter the 

race area. The Coast Guard would 

publish a notice in the Fifth Coast 

Guard District Local Notice to Mariners 

and issue a marine information 

broadcast on VHF–FM marine band 

radio announcing specific event dates 

and times. 

The regulatory text we are proposing 

appears at the end of this document. 

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 and duration of the 

regulated area, which would impact a 

small designated area of St. George 

Creek for 19 total enforcement hours. 

This waterway supports mainly 

recreational vessel traffic, which at its 

peak, occurs during the summer season. 

Although this regulated area extends 

across the entire width of the waterway, 

the rule would allow vessels and 

persons to seek permission to enter the 

regulated area, and vessel traffic able to 

do so safely would be able to transit the 

regulated area on the eastern portion of 

the waterway away from the event area 

as instructed by Event PATCOM. Such 

vessels must operate at safe speed that 

minimizes wake and not loiter within 

the navigable channel while within the 

regulated area. Moreover, the Coast 

Guard would issue a Broadcast Notice to 

Mariners via VHF–FM marine channel 

16 about the status of the regulated area. 

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 regulated 

area 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.

20366 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 67 / Thursday, April 7, 2022 / Proposed Rules 

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 implementation of 

regulations within 33 CFR part 100 

applicable to organized marine events 

on the navigable waters of the United 

States that could negatively impact the 

safety of waterway users and shore side 

activities in the event area for 19 total 

enforcement hours. Normally such 

actions are categorically excluded from 

further review under paragraph L61 of 

Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction 

Manual 023–01–001–01, Rev. 1. 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

of origin. 

(b) Definitions. As used in this 

section— 

Buffer area is a neutral area that 

surrounds the perimeter of the race area 

within the regulated area described by 

this section. The purpose of a buffer 

area is to minimize potential collision 

conflicts with marine event participants 

or high-speed powerboats and spectator 

vessels or nearby transiting vessels. This 

area provides separation between a race 

area and a specified spectator area or 

other vessels that are operating in the 

vicinity of the regulated area established 

by the special local regulations in this 

section. 

Captain of the Port (COTP) MarylandNational Capital Region means the 

Commander, U.S. Coast Guard Sector 

Maryland-National Capital Region or 

any Coast Guard commissioned, warrant 

or petty officer who has been authorized 

by the COTP to act on his behalf. 

Event Patrol Commander or Event 

PATCOM means a commissioned, 

warrant, or petty officer of the U.S. 

Coast Guard who has been designated 

by the Commander, Coast Guard Sector 

Maryland-National Capital Region. 

Official patrol means any vessel 

assigned or approved by Commander, 

Coast Guard Sector Maryland-National 

Capital Region with a commissioned, 

warrant, or petty officer on board and 

displaying a Coast Guard ensign. 

Participant means all persons and 

vessels registered with the event 

sponsor as participating in the 

‘‘Southern Maryland Boat Club Piney 

Point Rumble on the River Regatta’’ 

event, or otherwise designated by the 

event sponsor as having a function tied 

to the event. 

Race area is an area described by a 

line bound by coordinates provided in 

latitude and longitude that outlines the 

boundary of a race area within the 

regulated area defined by this section. 

Spectator means a person or vessel 

not registered with the event sponsor as 

participants or assigned as official 

patrols. 

Spectator area is an area described by 

a line bound by coordinates provided in 

latitude and longitude that outlines the 

boundary of a spectator area within the 

regulated area defined by this section. 

(c) Special local regulations. (1) The 

COTP Maryland-National Capital 

Region or Event PATCOM may forbid 

and control the movement of all vessels 

and persons, including event 

participants, in the regulated area 

described in paragraph (a)(1) of this 

section. When hailed or signaled by an 

official patrol, a vessel or person in the 

regulated area shall immediately 

comply with the directions given by the 

patrol. Failure to do so may result in the 

Coast Guard expelling the person or
