Special Local Regulation; Bucksport/

Lake Murray Drag Boat Spring 

Nationals, Atlantic Intracoastal 

Waterway; Bucksport, SC 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to 

establish a special local regulation on 

the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway in 

Bucksport, South Carolina during the 

Bucksport/Lake Murray Drag Boat 

Spring Nationals, on June 4 and June 5, 

2016. This special local regulation is 

necessary to ensure the safety of 

participants, spectators, and the general 

public during the event. This proposed 

rulemaking would prohibit persons and 

vessels from being in the regulated area 

unless authorized by the Captain of the 

Port Charleston or a designated 

representative. 

DATES: Comments and related material 

must be received by the Coast Guard on 

or before March 11, 2016. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

identified by docket number USCG– 

2016–0009 using the Federal 

eRulemaking Portal at http://

www.regulations.gov. See the ‘‘Public 

Participation and Request for 

Comments’’ portion of the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for 

further instructions on submitting 

comments.

COTP Captain of the Port 

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal 

Basis 

On December 27, 2015, the Bucksport 

Marina notified the Coast Guard that it 

will be sponsoring a series of drag boat 

races from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. on June 4 

and June 5, 2016. The legal basis for the 

proposed rule is the Coast Guard’s 

Authority to establish special local 

regulations: 33 U.S.C. 1233. The 

purpose of the proposed rule is to 

ensure safety of life on the navigable 

water of the United States during the 

Bucksport/Lake Murray Drag Boat 

Spring Nationals, a series of high speed 

boat races. 

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule 

The Coast Guard proposes to establish 

a special local regulation on the Atlantic 

Intracoastal Waterway in Bucksport, 

South Carolina during the Bucksport/

Lake Murray Drag Boat Spring 

Nationals, on June 4 and June 5, 2016. 

Approximately 50 powerboats are 

anticipated to participate in the races 

and approximately 35 spectator vessels 

are expected to attend the event. 

Persons and vessels desiring to enter, 

transit through, anchor in, or remain 

within the regulated area may contact 

the Captain of the Port Charleston by 

telephone at (843) 740–7050, or a 

designated representative via VHF radio 

on channel 16, to request authorization. 

If authorization to enter, transit through, 

anchor in, or remain within the 

regulated area is granted by the Captain 

of the Port Charleston or a designated 

representative, all persons and vessels 

receiving such authorization must 

comply with the instructions of the 

Captain of the Port Charleston or a 

designated representative. The Coast 

Guard will provide notice of the special 

local regulation by Local Notice to 

Mariners, Broadcast Notice to Mariners, 

and on-scene designated 

representatives. 

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. 

A. Regulatory Planning and Review 

E.O.s 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. E.O.13563 emphasizes the 

importance of quantifying both costs 

and benefits, of reducing costs, of 

harmonizing rules, and of promoting 

flexibility. This NPRM has not been 

designated a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action,’’ under E.O. 12866. Accordingly, 

the NPRM has not been reviewed by the 

Office of Management and Budget. 

This proposed rule is not a significant 

regulatory action under section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory 

Planning and Review, as supplemented 

by Executive Order 13563, Improving 

Regulation and Regulatory Review, and 

does not require an assessment of 

potential costs and benefits under 

section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 

or under section 1 of Executive Order 

13563. The Office of Management and 

Budget has not reviewed it under those 

Orders. 

The economic impact of this proposed 

rule is not significant for the following 

reasons: (1) The special local regulation 

would be enforced for only six hours a 

day over a two-day period; (2) although 

persons and vessels would not be able 

to enter, transit through, anchor in, or 

remain within the regulated area 

without authorization from the Captain 

of the Port Charleston or a designated 

representative, they would be able to 

operate in the surrounding area during 

the enforcement periods; (3) persons 

and vessels would still be able to enter, 

transit through, anchor in, or remain 

within the regulated area if authorized 

by the Captain of the Port Charleston or 

a designated representative; and (4) the 

Coast Guard would provide advance 

notification of the regulated area to the 

local maritime community by Local 

Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice 

to Mariners. 

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’’ comprises small 

businesses, not-for-profit organizations 

that are independently owned and 


asabaliauskas on DSK9F6TC42PROD with PROPOSALS2
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 27 / Wednesday, February 10, 2016 / Proposed Rules 7045 

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. 

We have considered the impact of this 

proposed rule on small entities. This 

rule may affect the following entities, 

some of which may be small entities: 

the owner or operators of vessels 

intending to enter, transit through, 

anchor in, or remain within the 

regulated area during the enforcement 

period. For the reasons discussed in 

Regulatory Planning and Review section 

above, this rule will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

If you think that your business, 

organization, or governmental 

jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity 

and that this 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 

rule would affect your small business, 

organization, or governmental 

jurisdiction and you have questions 

concerning its provisions or options for 

compliance, please contact 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 E.O. 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 E.O. 13132. 

Also, this proposed rule does not have 

tribal implications under E.O. 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 contact the person listed 

in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT section above. 

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 

effects of this rule elsewhere in this 

preamble. 

F. Environment 

We have analyzed this proposed rule 

under Department of Homeland 

Security Management Directive 023–01 

and Commandant Instruction 

M16475.lD, 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 special local regulation issued 

in conjunction with a regatta or marine 

parade. This rule is categorically 

excluded from further review under 

paragraph 34(h) of Figure 2–1 of the 

Commandant Instruction. We seek any 

comments or information that may lead 

to the discovery of a significant 

environmental impact from this rule. 

G. Protest Activities 

The Coast Guard respects the First 

Amendment rights of protesters. 

Protesters are asked to contact 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.

outcome of this rulemaking. If you
