NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking 

§ Section 

U.S.C. United States Code 

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal 

Basis 

On February 17th, 2022, the National 

Watersports Asssociation Racing 

organization notified the Coast Guard 

that it will be conducting a high speed 

jet ski race from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on June 

4, 2022. and June 5, 2022. The race will 

be conducted off the beach in Riviera 

Beach, FL. The race will consist of 

fifteen high speed personal watercraft 

(jet ski) racing within a pre designated 

course. 

The purpose of this rulemaking is to 

ensure the safety of vessels and the 

navigable waters within 500 feet of the 

designated race course before, during, 

and after the scheduled event. The Coast 

Guard is proposing this rulemaking 

under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034. 

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule 

The COTP is proposing to establish a 

temporary SLR from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
26316 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 86 / Wednesday, May 4, 2022 / Proposed Rules 

on June 4, 2022, and 5, 2022. The SLR 

would cover certain navigable waters of 

the Atlantic Ocean off Riviera Beach, 

FL. The duration of the zone is intended 

to protect personnel, vessels, and the 

marine environment in these navigable 

waters during the high speed jet ski 

race. The temporary SLR would prohibit 

all persons and vessels, except those 

persons and vessels participating in the 

race, from entering, transiting through, 

anchoring in, or remaining within the 

area unless authorized by the COTP 

Miami or a designated representative. 

Persons and vessels may request 

authorization to enter, transit through, 

anchor in, or remain within the race 

area by contacting the COTP Miami by 

telephone at (305) 535–4300, or a 

designated representative via VHF radio 

on channel 16. If authorization to enter, 

transit through, anchor in, or remain 

within the race area is granted by the 

COTP Miami or a designated 

representative, all persons and vessels 

receiving such authorization must 

comply with the instructions of the 

COTP Miami or a designated 

representative. The Coast Guard would 

provide notice of the special local 

regulation by a Broadcast Notice to 

Mariners, and on-scene designated 

representatives. 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 following reasons: (1) 

The temporary special local regulation 

(SLR) will be enforced for 

approximately 9 hours per day; a total 

of 18 hours; (2) although persons and 

vessels will not be able to enter, transit 

through, anchor in, or remain within the 

regulated area, without authorization 

from the COTP Miami or a designated 

representative, they may operate in the 

surrounding area during the 

enforcement period; (3) persons and 

vessels may still enter, transit through, 

anchor in, or remain within the 

regulated area during the enforcement 

period if authorized by the COTP Miami 

or a designated representative; and (4) 

the Coast Guard will provide advance 

notification of the temporary (SLR) to 

the local maritime community through 

the Local Notice to Mariners and 

Broadcast Notice to Mariners via VHF– 

FM. 

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 safety 

zone 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 a temporary SLR lasting 

approximately 9 hours on two separate 

days that will prohibit entry of persons 

or vessels during the Riviera Race 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 86 / Wednesday, May 4, 2022 / Proposed Rules 26317 

Weekend event. 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. 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 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 

submit a comment, please include the
