Special Local Regulation; Tampa Bay, 

St. Petersburg, FL 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is revising 

the existing special local regulations 

within the Seventh Coast Guard District 

Captain of the Port (COTP) St. 

Petersburg Zone by removing an event 

that no longer takes place, and by 

updating the location of an existing 

event. These changes are being made 

because one event sponsor halted the 

event for the forseeable future, and the 

other changed the event details. 

DATES: This final rule is effective July 1, 

2022.

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking 

§ Section 

U.S.C. United States Code 

II. Background Information and 

Regulatory History 

On March 29, 2022, the Coast Guard 

published a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal 

Register titled, ‘‘Special Local 

Regulations; Recurring Marine Events, 

Sector St. Petersburg.’’ 1 In the NPRM 

we stated the purpose of the rulemaking 

was to remove one existing recurring 

marine event that is no longer held and 

to change the location and date of an 

existing recurring marine event within 

the Seventh Coast Guard District 

Captain of the Port (COTP) St. 

Petersburg Zone that are listed in 33 

CFR 100.703, Table 1 to § 100.703. With 

the postponement of one event for the 

forseeable future, and the change in date 

and location of another, the changes 

proposed in the NPRM were necessary 

to ensure that Table 1 to § 100.703 

accurately reflected the events taking 

place within the COTP St. Petersburg 

Zone, and in the order the events occur. 

The NPRM invited comments on the 

proposed changes to Table 1 to 

§ 100.703. During the comment period 

that ended April 28, 2022, 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 

COTP St. Petersburg has determined it 

necessary to revise the existing 

regulations in order to avoid confusion 

regarding the special local regulations 

(SLR) in the COTP St. Petersburg Zone. 

IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, 

and the Rule 

As noted above, we received no 

comments on our NPRM published 

April 1, 2022. 

This rule makes the following changes 

in 33 CFR 100.703: 

1. Move the event listed in Table 1 to 

§ 100.703, Line No. 5, ‘‘Sarasota 

Powerboat Grand Prix/Powerboat P–1 

USA, LLC to Line No. 4. We are not 

making any other changes to this event. 

2. Move Table 1 to § 100.703, Line 

No. 4, to Line No. 5, and revise the 

event to reflect a name change, course 

location, and date and time for the 

event. 

3. Delete the event listed in Table 1 

to § 100.703, Line No. 6, ‘‘Battle of the 

Bridges/Sarasota Scullers Youth Rowing 

Program.’’ 

Marine events listed in Table 1 to 

§ 100.703 are listed as recurring over a 

particular time, during each month and 

each year. Exact dates are intentionally 

omitted since calendar dates for specific 

events change from year to year. Once 

dates for a marine event are known, the 

Coast Guard notifies the public it 

intends to enforce the special local 

regulation through various means 

including a notice of enforcement 

published in the Federal Register, Local 

Notice to Mariners, and Broadcast 

Notice to Mariners. 

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, location, and 

duration of the special local regulations. 

These areas are limited in size and 

duration, and usually do not affect high 

vessel traffic areas. Moreover, the Coast 

Guard will provide advance notice of 

the regulated areas to the local maritime 

community via Notice of Enforcement 

published in the Federal Register, by 

Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast to 

Mariners via VHF–FM marine channel 

16, and the rule will allow vessels to 

seek permission to enter 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 0 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 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with RULES1
33016 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 105 / Wednesday, June 1, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 

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. 

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 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. 

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 

removing one event from the list of 

recurring marine events in the COTP St. 

Petersburg Zone, and revising an 

existing recurring event to reflect a 

name change, course location, and date 

and time for the event. Normally such 

actions are categorically excluded from 

further review under paragraphs L61 in 

Table 3–1 of Appendix A, Table 1 of 

DHS Instruction Manual 023–01–001– 

01, Rev. 1, because it involves a revised 

special local regulation related to a 

marine event permit for marine parades, 

regattas, and other marine events. 

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.
