[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: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is proposing to update 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 proposed special local regulations and 
safety zones would restrict vessels from portions of water areas during 
certain annually recurring events. The proposed 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. 
We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast 
Guard on or before May 15, 2017.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2016-0998 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 
instructions on submitting comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this proposed 
rulemaking, call or email Chief Marine Science Technician Chris Bains, 
Sector Northern New England Waterways Management Division, U.S. Coast 
Guard; telephone 207-347-5003, email Chris.D.Bains@uscg.mil.

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    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. The Coast Guard has established 
special local regulations, regulated 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, the Coast Guard has 
not received public comments or concerns regarding the impact to 
waterway traffic from the Coast Guard's regulations associated with 
these annually recurring events. Known events were assessed for their 
likelihood to recur in subsequent years or to discontinue, and 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.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The proposed rule would update the tables of annual recurring 
events in the existing regulation for the Coast Guard Sector Northern 
New England COTP Zone, deleting outdated zones and providing updated 
information on dates, times, and locations. 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, but are 
not limited to, the Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast Notice to 
Mariners, or 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. 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

    E.O.s 12866 (``Regulatory Planning and Review'') and 13563 
(``Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review'') 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 including potential economic, environmental, 
public health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity. 
E.O. 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and 
benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting 
flexibility. Executive Order 13771 (``Reducing Regulation and

[[Page 17783]]

Controlling Regulatory Costs''), directs agencies to reduce regulation 
and control regulatory costs and provides that ``for every one new 
regulation issued, at least two prior regulations be identified for 
elimination, and that the cost of planned regulations be prudently 
managed and controlled through a budgeting process.''
    The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has not designated this 
proposed rule a significant regulatory action under section 3(f) of 
Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) has not reviewed it.
    As this proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action, this 
proposed rule is exempt from the requirements of Executive Order 13771. 
See OMB's Memorandum titled ``Interim Guidance Implementing Section 2 
of the Executive Order of January 30, 2017 titled `Reducing Regulation 
and Controlling Regulatory Costs' '' (February 2, 2017).
    We expect the economic impact of this proposed rule to be minimal. 
This regulation may have an impact on the general public, but that 
potential impact will likely be minimized for the following reason: The 
Coast Guard is only modifying an existing regulation to account for 
updated 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 
proposed 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 zones or special local regulations 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 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, above. 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 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 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 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 water 
activities including swimming events and fireworks displays and may be 
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 preliminary environmental analysis 
checklist 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 proposed 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
