Safety Zone; Fireworks Display, 

Umatilla Marina, Umatilla, OR 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is proposing 

to establish a temporary safety zone for 

certain waters of Umatilla Marina. This 

action is necessary to provide for the 

safety of life on these navigable waters 

near Umatilla, OR, during a fireworks 

display on June 25th, 2022. This 

proposed rulemaking would prohibit 

persons and vessels from being in the 

safety zone unless authorized by the 

Captain of the Port Columbia River or a 

designated representative. We invite 

your comments on this proposed 

rulemaking. 

DATES: Comments and related material 

must be received by the Coast Guard on 

or before June 22, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

identified by docket number USCG– 

2022–0436 using the Federal Decision

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking 

§ Section 

U.S.C. United States Code 

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal 

Basis 

On March 07, 2022, Western Display 

Fireworks, LTD notified the Coast Guard 

that it will be conducting a fireworks 

display from 10 to 10:30 p.m. on June 

25, 2022. The fireworks are to be 

launched from a site on land in the 

Umatilla Marina, OR. Hazards from 

firework displays include accidental 

discharge of fireworks, dangerous 

projectiles, and falling hot embers or 

other debris. The Captain of the Port 

Columbia River (COTP) has determined 

that potential hazards associated with 

the fireworks would be a safety concern 

for anyone within a 400-foot radius of 

the launch site before, during, or after 

the fireworks display. 

The purpose of this rulemaking is to 

ensure the safety of vessels and the 

navigable waters within a 400-foot 

radius of the fireworks discharge site 

before, during, and after the scheduled 

event. The Coast Guard is proposing this 

rulemaking under authority in 46 U.S.C. 

70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). 

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule 

The COTP is proposing to establish a 

safety zone from 9:30 to 11 p.m. on June 

25, 2022. The safety zone would cover 

all navigable waters within 400 feet of 

the launch site located at approximately 

45°55′37.50′′ N, 119°19′47.60′′ W in the 

Umatilla Marina, Oregon. The duration 

of the zone is intended to ensure the 

safety of vessels and these navigable 

waters before, during, and after the 

scheduled 10 to 10:30 p.m. fireworks 

display. No vessel or person would be 

permitted to enter the safety zone 

without obtaining permission from the 

COTP or a designated representative. 

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, 

this NPRM 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 safety zone. The safety 

zone created by this proposed rule is 

designed to minimize its impact on 

navigable waters. The safety zone will 

impact approximately a 400 foot area of 

Umatilla Marina and is not anticipated 

to exceed 1.5 hours in duration. Thus, 

restrictions on vessel movement within 

that particular area are expected to be 

minimal. Moreover, under certain 

conditions vessels may still transit 

through the safety zone when permitted 

by the COTP. The Coast Guard would 

issue a Notice to Mariners about the 

zone, and the rule would allow vessels 

to seek permission to enter the zone. 

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 proposed 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 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
34604 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 109 / Tuesday, June 7, 2022 / Proposed Rules 

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 safety zone lasting 1.5 

hours that would prohibit entry within 

400 feet of a fireworks launch site. 

Normally such actions are categorically 

excluded from further review under 

paragraph L60(a) 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

essential to effective rulemaking, and 

will consider all comments and material 

received during the comment period.

outcome of this rulemaking. If you

U.S.C. United States Code 

COTP Captain of the Port Columbia River 

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal 

Basis 

On March 8, 2022, Western Display 

Fireworks, LTD notified the Coast Guard 

that it will be conducting a fireworks 

display from 10 to 10:30 p.m. on July 4, 

2022. The fireworks are to be launched 

from a site on land in the Port of 

Newport, OR. Hazards from firework 

displays include accidental discharge of 

fireworks, dangerous projectiles, and 

falling hot embers or other debris. The 

Captain of the Port Columbia River 

(COTP) has determined that potential 

hazards associated with the fireworks 

would be a safety concern for anyone 

within a 500-foot radius of the launch 

site before, during, or after the fireworks 

display. 

The purpose of this rulemaking is to 

ensure the safety of vessels and the 

navigable waters within a 500-foot 

radius of the fireworks barge before, 

during, and after the scheduled event. 

The Coast Guard is proposing this 

rulemaking under authority in 46 U.S.C. 

70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). 

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule 

The COTP is proposing to establish a 

safety zone from 9:30 to 11 p.m. on July 

4, 2022. The safety zone would cover all 

navigable waters within 500 feet of the 

launch site located at approximately 

44°37′31′′ N, 124°2′5′′ W in the port of 

Newport, Oregon. The duration of the 

zone is intended to ensure the safety of 

vessels and these navigable waters 

before, during, and after the scheduled 

10 to 10:30 p.m. fireworks display. No 

vessel or person would be permitted to 

enter the safety zone without obtaining 

permission from the COTP or a 

designated representative. 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 size, location, and 

duration of the safety zone. The safety 

zone created by this proposed rule is 

designed to minimize its impact on 

navigable waters. The safety zone will 

impact approximately a 500 foot area of 

Yaquina Bay and is not anticipated to 

exceed 2 hours in duration. Thus, 

restrictions on vessel movement within 

that particular area are expected to be 

minimal. Moreover, under certain 

conditions vessels may still transit 

through the safety zone when permitted 

by the COTP. The Coast Guard would 

issue a Notice to Mariners about the 

zone, and the rule would allow vessels 

to seek permission to enter the zone. 

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.
