97538 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 236 / Monday, December 9, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

E. Executive Order 13132—Federalism 

This rule will not have substantial 

direct effects 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. It is a rule of 

internal agency practice and procedure. 

Therefore, in accordance with Executive 

Order 13132, ‘‘Federalism,’’ the 

Department has determined that this 

rule does not have sufficient federalism 

implications to warrant the preparation 

of a federalism summary impact 

statement. 

F. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 

1995 

This rule will not result in the 

expenditure by State, local, and Tribal 

governments, in the aggregate, or by the 

private sector, of $100 million or more 

(adjusted annually for inflation) in any 

one year, and it will not significantly or 

uniquely affect small governments. 

Therefore, no actions are necessary 

under the provisions of the Unfunded 

Mandates Reform Act of 1995, 2 U.S.C. 

1501 et seq. 

G. Congressional Review Act 

This rule is not a major rule as 

defined by the Congressional Review 

Act, 5 U.S.C. 804. This action pertains 

to agency management, personnel, and 

organization and does not substantially 

affect the rights or obligations of nonagency parties. Accordingly, it is not a 

‘‘rule’’ as that term is used in the 

Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 

804(3)(B), (C), and the reporting 

requirements of 5 U.S.C. 801 do not 

apply. 

H. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

This final rule does not impose any 

new reporting or recordkeeping 

requirements under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501– 

3521. 

List of Subjects in 28 CFR Part 50 

Administrative practice and 

procedure. 

Accordingly, for the reasons set forth 

in the preamble, the interim final rule 

amending 28 CFR part 50, which 

published at 87 FR 27936 on May 10, 

2022, is adopted as final without 

change.

Pursuant to 33 CFR 100.1104, all 

persons and vessels not registered with 

the sponsor as participants or as official 

patrol vessels are considered spectators. 

The ‘‘official patrol’’ consists of any 

Coast Guard; other Federal, state, or 

local law enforcement; and any public 

or sponsor-provided vessels assigned or 

approved by the cognizant Coast Guard 

Sector Commander to patrol each event. 

No spectator shall anchor, block, loiter, 

nor impede the through transit of 

participants or official patrol vessels in 

the regulated areas during all applicable 

effective dates and times unless cleared 

to do so by or through an official patrol 

vessel. When hailed and/or signaled by 

an official patrol vessel, any spectator 

located within a regulated area during 

all applicable effective dates and times 

shall come to an immediate stop. The 

Patrol Commander (PATCOM) is 

empowered to control the movement of 

all vessels in the regulated area or to 

restrict vessels from entering the 

regulated area. The Patrol Commander 

shall be designated by the cognizant 

Coast Guard Sector Commander; will be 

a U.S. Coast Guard commissioned

to act as the Sector Commander’s 

official representative; and will be 

located aboard the lead official patrol 

vessel. As the Sector Commander’s 

representative, the PATCOM may 

terminate the event any time it is 

deemed necessary for the protection of 

life and property. PATCOM may be 

reached on VHF–FM Channel 13 

(156.65MHz) or 16 (156.8MHz) when 

required, by the call sign ‘‘PATCOM.’’ 

The Patrol Commander may, upon 

request, allow the transit of commercial

local agencies. 

This notice of enforcement is issued 

under authority of 33 CFR 100.1104 and
