33 CFR Part 100

[CGD01-95-033]


Special Local Regulation: 1995 Special Olympics World Games, Long 
Island Sound, New Haven, CT

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to establish a temporary special 
local regulation for the 1995 Special Olympics World Games. Maritime 
activities held as a part of the Special Olympics World Games will take 
place in the waters of Long Island Sound approaching New Haven, 
Connecticut. The dates for these maritime activities are July 1-July 
10, 1995. This regulation is needed to allow the Special Olympics World 
Games Committee to hold the various maritime activities associated with 
the 1995 Special Olympics World Games without interference from the 
boating public, and to protect boaters, spectators, and participants 
from the dangers associated with these events.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before May 30, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be mailed to Commander (b), First Coast 
Guard District, Captain John Foster Williams Federal Building, 408 
Atlantic Ave., Boston, MA 02110-3350, or may be hand delivered to Room 
428 at the same address, between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through 
Friday, except federal holidays. Comments will become part of this 
docket and will be available for inspection or copying at the above 
address.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Lieutenant (jg) B.M. Algeo, Chief, Boating Affairs Branch, First Coast 
Guard District, (617) 223-8311.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Request for Comments

    The Coast Guard encourages interested persons to participate in 
this rulemaking by submitting written data, views, or arguments. 
Persons submitting comments should include their names and addresses, 
identify this notice (CGD01-95-033), the specific section of the 
proposal to which each comment applies, and give reasons for each 
comment. The Coast Guard requests that all comments and attachments be 
submitted in an 8\1/2\''  x  11'' unbound format suitable for copying 
and electronic filing. If that is not practical, a second copy of any 
bound material is requested. Persons requesting acknowledgment of 
receipt of comments should enclose a stamped, self-addressed postcard 
or envelope.
    The Coast Guard will consider all comments received during the 
comment period. It may change this proposal in view of the comments. 
The Coast Guard plans no public hearing. Persons may request a public 
hearing by writing to Commander (b), First Coast Guard District at the 
address under ADDRESSES. The request should include reasons why a 
hearing would be beneficial. If it is determined that the opportunity 
for oral presentations will aid this rulemaking, the Coast Guard will 
hold a public hearing at a time and place announced by a later notice 
in the Federal Register.

Drafting Information

    The drafters of this notice are Lieutenant(jg) Eric Doucette, 
Project Manager, Captain of the Port, Long Island Sound, and Lieutenant 
Commander F.J. Kenney, Project Counsel, First Coast Guard District 
Legal Office.

Background and Purpose

    The 1995 Special Olympics World Games are scheduled to be held in 
New Haven, Connecticut, from July 1-July 10, 1995. As part of the 
schedule of events, various maritime activities are planned for the 
participants and the public. The Special Olympics World Games Committee 
has submitted three marine events permits to the U.S. Coast Guard. The 
maritime activities for which permits have been requested are to be 
held in the waters of Long Island Sound approaching New Haven, 
Connecticut. The activities include sailboat races, a Parade of Sail, 
and fireworks displays. Due to the inherent dangers of fireworks 
displays and the need for vessel control during the various races and 
the Parade of Sail, vessel traffic will be temporarily restricted to 
provide for the safety of the spectators and participants through the 
establishment of a proposed regulated area in New Haven Harbor and Long 
Island Sound.
    The Coast Guard is establishing an operational order to provide for 
the effective coordination of the activities [[Page 20931]] associated 
with the 1995 Special Olympics World Games. The specific tasking given 
to the various Coast Guard resources will be included in this 
operational order. Due to the proximity of the participating vessels 
and large number of expected spectator craft, it is necessary to 
establish a special local regulation to control spectator vessel 
movement within this confined area.

Discussion of Proposed Amendments

    The Coast Guard proposes to establish a special local regulation on 
specified waters of Long Island Sound and New Haven Harbor, New Haven, 
Connecticut. Because of the varied nature of the events planned during 
the Special Olympics World Games, and the length of time over which the 
events are scheduled to run, the Coast Guard believes the most 
effective way to meet all safety, security and vessel control 
objectives is to establish a one large regulated area, divided into 15 
sectors. As events occur, individual sectors will open and close as the 
need arises. A chartlet illustrating each sector is available by 
writing to the address under ADDRESSES or by calling the telephone 
number in FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Provisions will be made, 
when possible, to allow escort by Coast Guard patrol craft for vessels 
desiring to transit a closed sector of the regulated area. Special 
anchorage and viewing areas for spectator craft have also been 
established. This regulation is needed to protect spectators and 
participants from the hazards associated with the fireworks displays, 
Parade of Sail, and to provide for vessel control in a confined area.

Regulatory Evaluations

    This proposal is not a significant regulatory action under section 
3(f) of Executive Order 12866, and does not require an assessment of 
potential costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that order. It 
has been exempted from review by the Office of Management and Budget 
under that order. It is not significant under the regulatory policies 
and procedures of the Department of Transportation (DOT) (44 FR 11040; 
February 26, 1979). The Coast Guard expects the economic impact to be 
so minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation, under paragraph 10e of 
the regulatory policies and procedures of DOT, is unnecessary. This 
conclusion is based on the fact that closed sectors will remain closed 
for a limited amount of time, the extensive advisories that have been 
and will be made to the affected maritime community so that they may 
adjust their schedules accordingly, and the fact that the event 
schedule will allow commercial interests to coordinate their activities 
to allow minimal disruption to their enterprise.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), the 
Coast Guard must consider whether this proposal will have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. ``Small 
entities'' include independently owned and operated small businesses 
that are not dominant in their fields and that otherwise qualify as 
``small business concerns'' under section 3 of the Small Business Act 
(15 U.S.C. 632).
    For the reasons discussed in the Regulatory Evaluation, the Coast 
Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this proposal will not have 
a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities.

Collection of Information

    This proposal contains no collection of information requirements 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

Federalism

    The Coast Guard has analyzed this proposal in accordance with the 
principles and criteria contained in Executive Order 12612 and has 
determined that this proposal does not have sufficient federalism 
implications to warrant the preparation of a Federalism Assessment.

Environment

    The Coast Guard is considering the environmental impacts of both 
these Special Local Regulations and the marine events that will be part 
of the 1995 Special Olympics World Games. It is anticipated that one 
Environmental Assessment (EA) will be written for all Special Olympics 
World Games events for which Coast Guard Marine Event Permits will be 
issued. Comments in this regard should be forwarded to the address 
listed under ADDRESSES.
