NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking 

PATCOM Patrol Commander 

§ Section 

U.S.C. United States Code 

II. Background Information and 

Regulatory History 

The Southern Maryland Boat Club of 

Leonardtown, MD, notified the Coast 

Guard that from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on 

October 2, 2021, and from 8 a.m. to 4 

p.m. on October 3, 2021, it will be 

conducting the Southern Maryland Boat 

Club Piney Point Regatta on St. George 

Creek at Piney Point, MD. In response, 

on June 25, 2021, the Coast Guard 

published a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) titled ‘‘Special 

Local Regulation; St. Mary’s River, St. 

George Creek, Piney Point, MD’’ (86 FR 

33598). There we stated why we issued 

the NPRM, and invited comments on 

our proposed regulatory action related 

to this high-speed power boat 

demonstration event. During the 

comment period that ended July 26, 

2021, we received no comments. 

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule 

The Coast Guard is issuing this rule 

under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70041. The 

Captain of the Port Maryland-National 

Capital Region (COTP) has determined 

that potential hazards associated with 

the vintage and historic racing power 

boat demonstration will be a safety 

concern for anyone intending to 

participate in this event and for vessels 

that operate within specified waters of 

the St. Mary’s River. These hazards 

include risks of injury or death resulting 

from near or actual contact among 

participant vessels and spectator vessels 

or waterway users if normal vessel 

traffic were to interfere with the event. 

Additionally, such hazards 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 purpose of this rule is to 

protect event participants, nonparticipants and transiting vessels 

before, during, and after the scheduled 

event. 

IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, 

and the Rule 

As noted above, we received no 

comments on our NPRM published June 

25, 2021. There are no changes in the 

regulatory text of this rule from the 

proposed rule in the NPRM. 

This rule establishes special local 

regulations from 7:30 a.m. on October 2, 

2021, through 5 p.m. on October 3, 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 155 / Monday, August 16, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 45645 

2021. The regulations will be enforced 

from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on October 2, 

2021, and from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on 

October 3, 2021. The regulated area will 

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 southwest 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°30′13.0′′19′16.0′′ N, 

longitude 076°08′50.6′′ W; thence 

northeast across St. George Creek to and 

terminating at the point of origin. 

This regulation provides additional 

information about areas within the 

regulated area and their definitions and 

the restrictions that will apply to 

mariners. These areas include ‘‘Race 

Area,’’ ‘‘Buffer Area,’’ and ‘‘Spectator 

Area.’’ 

The 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 demonstration event, scheduled to 

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

October 2, 2021, and from 8 a.m. to 4 

p.m. on October 3, 2021. The COTP and 

the Coast Guard Event PATCOM will 

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 will 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 Regatta participants 

and vessels already at berth, a vessel or 

person will be required to get 

permission from the COTP or Event 

PATCOM before entering the regulated 

area. Vessel operators will 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 will 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 will 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 

will be allowed to enter the regulated 

area or pass directly through the 

regulated area as instructed. Vessels will 

be required to operate at a safe speed 

that minimizes wake while within the 

regulated area in a manner that will 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 will direct spectators to the 

designated spectator area. Only 

participant vessels and official patrol 

vessels will be allowed to enter the race 

area. The Coast Guard will 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. 

V. Regulatory Analyses 

We developed this 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 rule has not been designated a 

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under 

Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, 

this rule 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 will 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 will allow vessels and persons 

to seek permission to enter the regulated 

area, and vessel traffic able to do so 

safely will 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 will 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 received no comments 

from the Small Business Administration 

on this rulemaking. The Coast Guard 

certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this 

rule will 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 V.A above, this 

rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on any vessel owner 

or operator. 

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 rule. If the 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. 

Small businesses may send comments 

on the actions of Federal employees 

who enforce, or otherwise determine 

compliance with, Federal regulations to 

the Small Business and Agriculture 

Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman 

and the Regional Small Business 

Regulatory Fairness Boards. The 

Ombudsman evaluates these actions 

annually and rates each agency’s 

responsiveness to small business. If you 

wish to comment on actions by 

employees of the Coast Guard, call 

1–888–REG–FAIR (1–888–734–3247). 

The Coast Guard will not retaliate 

against small entities that question or 

complain about this rule or any policy 

or action of the Coast Guard.

45646 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 155 / Monday, August 16, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 

C. Collection of Information 

This rule will 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 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 rule does not have tribal 

implications under Executive Order 

13175, Consultation and Coordination 

with Indian Tribal Governments, 

because it does 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. 

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 rule 

will not result in such an expenditure, 

we do discuss the effects of this rule 

elsewhere in this preamble. 

F. Environment 

We have analyzed this 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 

determined 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 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. It is categorically 

excluded from further review under 

paragraph L61 of Appendix A, Table 1 

of DHS Instruction Manual 023–01– 

001–01, Rev. 1. A Memorandum for the 

Record supporting this determination is 

available in the docket. For instructions 

on locating the docket, see the 

ADDRESSES section of this preamble. 

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.

(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 power boats 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.

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 part. 

(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 

vessel from the area, issuing a citation 

for failure to comply, or both. The COTP 

Maryland-National Capital Region or

either enter or pass through the 

regulated area. The Event PATCOM, and 

official patrol vessels enforcing this 

regulated area, can be contacted on 

marine band radio VHF–FM channel 16 

(156.8 MHz) and channel 22A (157.1 

MHz). If permission is granted, the 

spectator must enter the designated 

Spectator Area or pass directly through 

the regulated area as instructed by Event 

PATCOM. A vessel within the regulated 

area must operate at safe speed that 

minimizes wake. A spectator vessel 

must not loiter within the navigable 

channel while within the regulated area. 

(4) Only participant vessels and 

official patrol vessels are allowed to 

enter and remain within the race area. 

(5) Only participant vessels and 

official patrol vessels are allowed to 

enter and transit directly through the 

buffer area in order to arrive at or depart 

from the race area. 

(6) A person or vessel that desires to 

transit, moor, or anchor within the 

regulated area must obtain authorization 

from the COTP Maryland-National 

Capital Region or Event PATCOM. A
