33 CFR Parts 100 and 165

[Docket Number USCG-2016-0998]
RIN 1625- AA08; AA00


Special Local Regulations and Safety Zones; Recurring Marine 
Events Held in the Coast Guard Sector Northern New England Captain of 
the Port Zone

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is updating the special local regulations and 
permanent safety zones in Coast Guard Sector Northern New England 
Captain of the Port Zone for annual recurring marine events. When 
enforced, these special local regulations and safety zones will 
restrict vessels from portions of water areas during certain annually 
recurring events. The special local regulations and safety zones are 
intended to expedite public notification and ensure the protection of 
the maritime public and event participants from the hazards associated 
with certain maritime events.

DATES: This rule is effective without actual notice on September 21, 
2017. For the purposes of enforcement, actual notice will be used from 
June 26, 2017 through September 21, 2017.

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

[[Page 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.
