Special Local Regulation for Marine Event; Temporary Change of 
Dates for Recurring Marine Event in the Fifth Coast Guard District

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to temporarily change the enforcement 
periods of special local regulations for recurring marine events in the 
Fifth Coast Guard District. These regulations apply to four recurring 
marine events that conduct a rescue at sea demonstration, an air show, 
a swimming competition, and power boat races. Special local regulations 
are necessary to provide for the safety of life on navigable waters 
during these events. This action is intended to restrict vessel traffic 
in a portion of the Severn River at Annapolis, MD, the Chester River 
near Chestertown, MD, and Prospect Bay at Kent Island, MD during the 
events.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast 
Guard on or before February 10, 2011.
    The effective dates being proposed for this rule are from April 1 
to September 1, 2011.

Background and Purpose

    Marine events are frequently held on the navigable waters within 
the boundary of the Fifth Coast Guard District. The activities that 
typically comprise marine events include: Sailing regattas, power boat 
races, swim races and holiday parades. For a description of the 
geographical area of each Coast Guard Sector--Captain of the Port Zone, 
please see 33 CFR 3.25.
    This regulation proposes to temporarily change the enforcement 
period of special local regulations for recurring marine events within 
the Fifth Coast Guard District. This proposed regulation applies to 
four marine events previously published at 33 CFR 100.501, Table to 
Sec.  100.501.
    The first event is the annual ``Safety at Sea Seminar,'' sponsored 
by the U.S. Naval Academy, on the waters of the Severn River at 
Annapolis, MD. The regulation at 33 CFR 100.501 is effective annually 
for the Safety at Sea Seminar marine event. The event consists of 
demonstrations of at sea rescues including surface and air platforms 
held on and above the waters of the Severn River in Annapolis, 
Maryland. Visual distress signal devices will be used and a helicopter 
with small boats will be operating before a large fleet of spectator 
crafts. Therefore, to ensure the safety of participants and support 
vessels, 33 CFR 100.501 would be enforced for the duration of the 
event. Under provisions of 33 CFR 100.501, from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on 
April 2, 2011, vessels may not enter the regulated area unless they 
receive permission from the Coast Guard Patrol Commander. Vessel 
traffic may be allowed to transit the regulated area only when the 
Patrol Commander determines it is safe to do so.
    The second event is the annual ``Blue Angels Air Show,'' sponsored 
by the U.S. Naval Academy, on the waters of the Severn River at 
Annapolis, MD. The regulation at 33 CFR 100.501 is effective annually 
for the Blue Angels Air Show marine event. The event consists of one 
day for arrival and practice and another day for the Air Show held 
above the waters of the Severn River, at Annapolis, Maryland. High 
performance military aircraft will conduct maneuvers before a large 
fleet of spectator crafts. Therefore, to ensure the safety of 
participants and support vessels, 33 CFR 100.501 would be enforced for 
the duration of the event. Under provisions of 33 CFR 100.501, from 
10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on May 24, 2011 and from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. on 
May 25, 2011, vessels may not enter the regulated area unless they 
receive permission from the Coast Guard Patrol Commander. Vessel 
traffic may be allowed to transit the regulated area only when the 
Patrol Commander determines it is safe to do so.
    The third event is the annual ``Maryland Swim for Life,'' sponsored 
by the District of Columbia Aquatics Club, on the waters of the Chester 
River near Chestertown, MD. The regulation at 33 CFR 100.501 is 
effective annually for the Maryland Swim for Life marine event. The 
event is an open water swimming competition held on the waters of the 
Chester River, near Chestertown, Maryland. Approximately 200 swimmers 
will start from Rolph's Wharf and swim up-river 2.5 miles then swim 
down-river returning back to Rolph's Wharf. A large fleet of support 
vessels accompany the swimmers. Therefore, to ensure the safety of 
participants and support vessels, 33 CFR 100.501 would be enforced for 
the duration of the event. Under provisions of 33 CFR 100.501, from 
5:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on June 25, 2011, vessels may not enter the 
regulated area unless they receive permission from the Coast Guard 
Patrol Commander. Vessel traffic may be allowed to transit the 
regulated area only when the Patrol Commander determines it is safe to 
do so.
    The fourth event is the annual ``Thunder on the Narrows'', 
sponsored by the Kent Narrows Racing Association on the waters of 
Prospect Bay at Kent Island, MD. The regulation at 33 CFR 100.501 is 
effective annually for the Thunder on the Narrows marine event. The 
event consists of two days of power boat racing on the waters of 
Prospect Bay, at Kent Island, Maryland. High performance power boats 
will race on a designated course before a large fleet of spectator 
crafts. Therefore, to ensure the safety of participants and support 
vessels, 33 CFR 100.501 would be enforced for the duration of the 
event. Under provisions of 33 CFR 100.501, from 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. 
on June 25, 2011 and from 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on June 26, 2011, 
vessels may not enter the regulated area unless they receive permission 
from the Coast Guard Patrol Commander. Vessel traffic may be allowed to 
transit the regulated area only when the Patrol Commander determines it 
is safe to do so.

Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The Coast Guard proposes to temporarily suspend the regulations at 
33 CFR 100.501 by changing the date of enforcement in the table to 
Sec.  100.501. The Coast Guard proposes to

[[Page 1566]]

temporarily change the enforcement periods of special local regulations 
for recurring marine events within the Fifth Coast Guard District. This 
NPRM applies to the marine events below.

Severn River, Annapolis, MD

    The Table to Sec.  100.501, event No. 13 establishes the 
enforcement date for the Safety at Sea Seminar. This regulation 
proposes to temporarily change the enforcement date from ``March--4th 
or last Saturday'' to the first Saturday in April, holding the annual 
marine event on April 2, 2011. The U.S. Naval Academy, which is the 
sponsor for this event, intends to hold this event annually; however, 
they have changed the date of the event for 2011 so that it is outside 
the scope of the existing enforcement period. Due to the need for 
vessel control while high performance aircraft are conducting maneuvers 
above the Severn River, vessel traffic would be temporarily restricted 
to provide for the safety of participants, spectators and transiting 
vessels.

Severn River, Annapolis, MD

    The Table to Sec.  100.501, event No. 19 establishes the 
enforcement date for the Blue Angels Air Show. This regulation proposes 
to temporarily change the enforcement date from ``May--3rd Tuesday and 
Wednesday'' to the fourth Tuesday and Wednesday in May, holding the 
annual marine event on May 24, 2011 and May 25, 2011. The U.S. Naval 
Academy, which is the sponsor for this event, intends to hold this 
event as it usually does on the Tuesday and Wednesday before Memorial 
Day annually; however, the existing enforcement period listed in the 
permanent regulation does not accurately reflect these dates. Due to 
the need for vessel control while high performance aircraft are 
conducting maneuvers above the Severn River, vessel traffic would be 
temporarily restricted to provide for the safety of participants, 
spectators and transiting vessels.

Chester River, Chestertown, MD

    The Table to Sec.  100.501, event No. 21 establishes the 
enforcement date for the Maryland Swim for Life. This regulation 
proposes to temporarily change the enforcement date from ``June--3rd 
Saturday or July--3rd Saturday'' to the fourth or last Saturday in 
June, holding their 20th annual marine event on June 25, 2011. The 
District of Columbia Aquatics Club, which is the sponsor for this 
event, intends to hold this event annually; however, they have changed 
the date of the event for 2011 so that it is outside the scope of the 
existing enforcement period. Due to the need for vessel control while 
swimmers are in the water along the Chester River, vessel traffic would 
be temporarily restricted to provide for the safety of participants, 
spectators and transiting vessels.

Prospect Bay, Kent Island, MD

    The Table to Sec.  100.501, event No. 23 establishes the 
enforcement date for the Thunder on the Narrows. This regulation 
proposes to temporarily change the enforcement date from ``August--1st 
Saturday and Sunday'' to the fourth Saturday and Sunday in June, 
holding the annual marine event on June 25, 2011 and June 26, 2011. The 
Kent Narrows Racing Association, which is the sponsor for this event, 
intends to hold this event annually; however, they have changed the 
date of the event for 2011 so that it is outside the scope of the 
existing enforcement period. Due to the need for vessel control while 
high performance power boats are racing on Prospect Bay, vessel traffic 
would be temporarily restricted to provide for the safety of 
participants, spectators and transiting vessels.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes 
and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our 
analyses based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.

Regulatory Planning and Review

    The proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under 
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, 
and does not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits 
under section 6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and 
Budget has not reviewed it under that Order.
    Although this proposed rule prevents traffic from transiting a 
portion of certain waterways during specified events, the effect of 
this regulation will not be significant due to the limited duration 
that the regulated area will be in effect and the extensive advance 
notifications that will be made to the maritime community via marine 
information broadcasts, local radio stations and area newspapers, so 
mariners can adjust their plans accordingly. Additionally, this 
rulemaking does not change the permanent regulated areas that have been 
published in 33 CFR 100.501, Table to Sec.  100.501. In some cases 
vessel traffic may be able to transit the regulated area when the Coast 
Guard Patrol Commander deems it is safe to do so.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have 
considered whether this proposed rule would have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities. 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. This rule would affect the following 
entities, some of which might be small entities: The owners or 
operators of vessels intending to transit or anchor in the area where 
the marine events are being held. This regulation will not have a 
significant impact on a substantial number of small entities because it 
will be enforced only during marine events that have been permitted by 
the Coast Guard Captain of the Port. The Captain of the Port will 
ensure that small entities are able to operate in the areas where 
events are occurring when it is safe to do so. In some cases, vessels 
will be able to safely transit around the regulated area at various 
times, and, with the permission of the Patrol Commander, vessels may 
transit through the regulated area. Before the enforcement period, the 
Coast Guard will issue maritime advisories so mariners can adjust their 
plans accordingly.
    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.

Assistance for Small Entities

    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 so that they can better 
evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. 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 individual listed under FOR 
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT at the beginning of this rule. The Coast 
Guard will not retaliate against small entities that

[[Page 1567]]

question or complain about this proposed rule or any policy or action 
of the Coast Guard.

Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would call for no new collection of information 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132, 
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local 
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial 
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this proposed rule 
under that Order and have determined that it does not have implications 
for federalism.

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 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.

Taking of Private Property

    This proposed rule would not effect a taking of private property or 
otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, 
Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected 
Property Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

    This proposed rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 
3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize 
litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045, 
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety 
Risks. This rule is not an economically significant rule and would not 
create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might 
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    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.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13211, 
Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant 
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant 
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to 
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use 
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy 
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects 
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15 
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards 
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress, 
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why 
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or 
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical 
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or 
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management 
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus 
standards bodies.
    This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we 
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

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 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and 
have made a preliminary determination that this action is one of a 
category of actions, under paragraph 34(h), which do not individually 
or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. 
This rule involves implementation of regulations within 33 CFR Part 100 
that apply to organized marine events on the navigable waters of the 
United States that may have potential for negative impact on the safety 
or other interest of waterway users and shore side activities in the 
event area. The category of water activities includes but is not 
limited to sail boat regattas, boat parades, power boat racing, 
swimming events, crew racing, and sail board racing. Under figure 2-1, 
paragraph (34)(h), of the Instruction, an ``Environmental Analysis 
Check List'' and a ``Categorical Exclusion Determination'' are not 
required for this rule. We seek any comments or information that may 
lead to the discovery of a significant environmental impact from this 
proposed rule.
