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. If you 

believe this 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 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 

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 

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 a 

special local regulation interval lasting 

from 5a.m. through 6 p.m., that will 

prohibit entry within waters of the 

Maumee River, Toledo, OH from the 

Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Bridge 

at river mile 4.30 to the Michael DiSalle 

Bridge at river mile 6.73. It is 

categorically excluded under section 

2.B.2, figure 2–1, paragraph 34(h) of the 

Commandant Instruction. A Record of 

Environmental Consideration (REC) 

supporting this determination is 

available in the docket where indicated 

in the ADDRESSES section of this 

preamble. 

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.

II. Background Information and 

Regulatory History 

On April 13, 2017, the Coast Guard 

published an NPRM in the Federal 

Register titled Special Local Regulations 

and Safety Zone; Recurring Marine 

Events Held in the Coast Guard Sector 

Northern New England Captain of the 

Port Zone, (82 FR 17782), proposing to 

update special local regulations and 

safety zones. There we stated why we 

issued the NPRM and invited comments 

on our proposed regulatory action. No 

public comments or request for a public 

meeting were received during the NPRM 

process. Swim events, fireworks 

displays, and marine events are held on 

an annual recurring basis on the 

navigable waters within the Coast Guard 

Sector Northern New England COTP 

Zone. In the past, the Coast Guard has 

established special local regulations, 

regulated navigation areas, and safety 

zones for these annual recurring events 

on a case by case basis to ensure the 

protection of the maritime public and 

event participants from the hazards 

associated with these events. In the past 

year, events were assessed for their 

likelihood to recur in subsequent years 

or to be discontinued. These events 

were added to or deleted from the tables 

accordingly. In addition, minor changes 

to existing events were made to ensure 

the accuracy of event details. 

The purpose of this rulemaking is to 

reduce administrative overhead, 

expedite public notification of events, 

and ensure the protection of the 

maritime public during marine events in 

the Sector Northern New England area. 

We are issuing this rule under 5 

U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds 

that good cause exists for making it 

effective less than 30 days after 

publication in the Federal Register. The 

comment period for the NPRM 

associated with the Special Local 

Regulations and Safety Zone; Recurring 

Marine Events Held in the Coast Guard 

Sector Northern New England Captain 

of the Port Zone expired on May 15, 

2017. The first events are scheduled to 

occur June 16, 2017. Thus, there is now 

insufficient time for a 30 day effective 

period before the need to enforce this 

safety zone and special local 

regulations. Delaying the enforcement of 

this safety zone and special local 

regulations to allow a 30 day effective 

period would be impracticable. 

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule 

The Coast Guard issues this 

rulemaking under authority in 33 U.S.C. 

1231. This rule updates the tables of 

annual recurring events in the existing 

regulation for the Coast Guard Sector 

Northern New England COTP Zone. The 

tables provide the event name, sponsor, 

and type, as well as approximate times, 

dates, and locations of the events. 

Advanced public notification of specific 

times, dates, regulated areas, and 

enforcement periods for each event will 

be provided through appropriate means, 

which may include, the Local Notice to 

Mariners, Broadcast Notice to Mariners, 

and a Notice of Enforcement published 

in the Federal Register at least 30 days 

prior to the event date. If an event does 

not have a date and time listed in this 

regulation, then the precise dates and 

times of the enforcement period for that 

event will be announced through a 

Local Notice to Mariners and, if time 

permits, a Notice of Enforcement in the 

Federal Register. 

IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, 

and the Rule 

As noted above, we received no 

comments to the NPRM published April 

13, 2017. The single change from the 

NPRM is the modification of one 

position to the Colchester Triathlon 

held in Colchester, VT. The Coast Guard 

has adjusted a mistake to a position 

made in the NPRM that went unnoticed 

until after publication in the Federal 

Register. 

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. 

Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the 

importance of quantifying both costs 

and benefits, reducing costs, 

harmonizing rules, and for promoting 

flexibility. This rule has not been 

designated a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action,’’ under Executive Order 12866. 

Accordingly, it has not been reviewed 

by the Office of Management and 

Budget. 

We expect the economic impact of 

this rule to be minimal. Although this 

regulation may have some impact on the 

public, the potential impact will be 

minimized for the following reason: The 

Coast Guard is only modifying existing 

regulations to account for new 

information. 

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 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 regulated 

waters 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 contact 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 


asabaliauskas on DSKBBXCHB2PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 182 / Thursday, September 21, 2017 / Rules and Regulations 44065 

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. If you 

believe this rule has implications for 

federalism or Indian tribes, please 

contact 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 rule 

will not result in such 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 

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 rule involves water 

activities including swimming events, 

boat races, and fireworks displays. The 

regulatory actions related to these 

activities are categorically excluded 

from further review under paragraph 

34(g)(Safety Zones) and (34)(h)(Special 

Local Regulations) of Figure 2–1 of 

Commandant Instruction M16475.lD. A 

Record of Environmental Consideration 

(REC) supporting this finding is 

available in the docket where indicated 

under ADDRESSES. 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.

33 CFR Part 117 

[Docket No. USCG–2017–0855] 

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; New 

Jersey Intracoastal Waterway (NJICW), 

Beach Thorofare, Margate City, NJ 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of deviation from 

drawbridge regulation. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a 

temporary deviation from the operating 

schedule that governs the Margate 

Boulevard/Margate Bridge which carries 

Margate Boulevard across the NJICW 

(Beach Thorofare), mile 74.0, at Margate 

City, NJ. The deviation is necessary to 

facilitate urgent bridge maintenance. 

This deviation allows the bridge to 

remain in the closed-to-navigation 

position. 

DATES: This deviation is effective 

without actual notice from September 

21, 2017 through 7 p.m. on Sunday, 

October 8, 2017. For the purposes of 

enforcement, actual notice will be used 

from 7 a.m. on Monday September 18, 

2017 until September 21, 2017. 

ADDRESSES: The docket for this 

deviation, [USCG–2017–0855] is

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If 

you have questions on this temporary 

deviation, call or email Mr. Michael 

Thorogood, Bridge Administration 

Branch Fifth District, Coast Guard, 

telephone 757–398–6557, email

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Margate Bridge Company, owner and 

operator of the Margate Boulevard/ 

Margate Bridge that carries Margate 

Boulevard across the NJICW (Beach 

Thorofare), mile 74.0, at Margate City, 

NJ, has requested a temporary deviation 

from the current operating schedule to 

facilitate urgent maintenance of the 

structural steel of the bascule spans of 

the double bascule drawbridge. The 

bridge has a vertical clearance of 14 feet 

above mean high water in the closed 

position and unlimited clearance in the 

open position. 

The current operating schedule is set 

out in 33 CFR 117.5. Under this 

temporary deviation, the bridge will be 

in the closed-to-navigation position 

from 7 a.m. on Monday, September 18, 

2017, through 7 p.m. on Sunday, 

September 24, 2017, and from 7 a.m. on 

Monday, October 2, 2017, through 7 

p.m. on Sunday, October 8, 2017. 

The Beach Thorofare is used by 

recreational vessels. The Coast Guard 

has carefully coordinated the 

restrictions with waterway users in 

publishing this temporary deviation. 

Vessels will not be able to pass 

through the bridge in the closed-tonavigation position, as two construction 

barges will be occupying the navigation 

channel during the closure periods. The 

bridge will not be able to open for 

emergencies and there is no immediate 

alternative route for vessels unable to 

pass through the bridge in the closed 

position. The Coast Guard will also 

inform the users of the waterway 

through our Local Notice and Broadcast 

Notices to Mariners of the change in 

operating schedule for the bridge so that 

vessel operators can arrange their 

transits to minimize any impact caused 

by the temporary deviation. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), 

the drawbridge must return to its regular 

operating schedule immediately at the 

end of the effective period of this 

temporary deviation. This deviation 

from the operating regulations is 

authorized under 33 CFR 117.35. 

Dated: September 18, 2017.

Bridge Program Manager, Fifth Coast Guard 

District.
