II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    The Coast Guard lists annual marine events in the Code of Federal 
Regulations (CFR). For USCG Sector Eastern Great Lakes, special local 
regulations are listed in 33 CFR 100.901 and safety/security zones are 
listed in 33 CFR 165.939. Over the 2023 calendar year, the Coast Guard 
was notified of multiple marine events that are conducted on an annual 
basis. The Coast Guard previously established temporary regulations 
implementing safety zones or local regulations for each of the 
respective events. The Captain of the Port (COTP) Sector Eastern Great 
Lakes determined that potential hazards associated with these events 
would be a safety concern for anyone within boundaries defined in 
proposed special local regulations and safety zones during the time 
period of these respective events. Moreover, the COTP Sector Easter 
Great Lakes also seeks to rename several of the enumerated events in 33 
CFR 165.939 to accurately reflect the current event names. 
Additionally, the COTP Sector Eastern Great Lakes also determined that 
some of the events currently listed in the existing regulations are no 
longer required.
    The purpose of this rulemaking is to ensure the safety of vessels 
and the navigable waters before, during, and after each respective 
scheduled event. The Coast Guard is proposing this rulemaking under 
authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034 and 70041.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The COTP is proposing to amend established special local 
regulations found in 33 CFR part 100.901 and established safety zone 
regulations found in 33 CFR part 165.939. The special local regulations 
and safety zones would cover various navigable waters within boundaries 
defined below. As stated in prior rulemakings, instituting temporary 
final rules for each event, the duration of the special local 
regulations and safety zones are intended to ensure the safety of 
vessels and these navigable waters before, during, and after the 
scheduled events. No vessel or person would be permitted to enter these 
zones without obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated 
representative. The regulatory organization, text, event details, and 
precise coordinates for all proposed events appear 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 section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as 
amended by Executive Order 14094 (Modernizing Regulatory Review). 
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 of each respective event. Each 
event establishes temporary safety/security zones or special local 
regulations lasting a short period of time over a small geographic 
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 
affected areas 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 two 
separate table revisions that contain special regulated areas and 
safety zones lasting various times which prohibit entry within defined 
areas. All additions, removals, and existing items in the 
aforementioned tables have been previously categorically excluded. 
Normally such actions are categorically excluded from further review 
under paragraph L60(a) and L61 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

[[Page 6905]]

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.
