[Docket Number USCG-2019-0013]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zones; Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley Annual and Recurring 
Safety Zones Update

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to amend and update its list of 
recurring safety zone regulations that take place in the Coast Guard 
Sector Ohio Valley area of responsibility (AOR). This proposed action 
is necessary to update the current list of recurring safety zones with 
revisions, additional events and removal of events that no longer take 
place. This regulation would restrict vessel traffic from the safety 
zones during the events unless authorized by the Captain of the Port 
Sector Ohio Valley or a designated representative. We invite your 
comments on this proposed rulemaking.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast 
Guard on or before April 11, 2019.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2019-0013 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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this proposed 
rule, call or email Petty Officer Riley Jackson, Sector Ohio Valley, 
U.S. Coast Guard; telephone (502) 779-5347, email SECOHV-WWM@uscg.mil.

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    The Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley (COTP) proposes to amend 
33 CFR 165.801, Table 1 titled ``Sector Ohio Valley Annual and 
Recurring Safety Zones'', to update our regulations for annual 
fireworks displays and other recurring events in the Eighth Coast Guard 
District.
    The Table contains a list of annual and recurring safety zones in 
the Sector Ohio Valley as of May 11, 2018.
    These events include air shows, fireworks displays, and other 
marine related events requiring a limited access area restricting 
vessel traffic for safety purposes. The current list in 33 CFR 165.801, 
Table 1, requires amendment to provide new information on existing 
safety zones, to include new safety zones expected to recur annually or 
biannually, and to remove safety zones that are no longer needed. 
Issuing individual regulations for each new safety zone, amendment, or 
removal of an existing safety zone creates unnecessary administrative 
costs and burdens. This single proposed rulemaking will considerably 
reduce administrative overhead and provide the public with notice 
through publication in the Federal Register of the upcoming recurring 
safety zone regulations. Event sponsors desiring to hold an event not 
listed in the table for the Sector Ohio Valley area of responsibility 
may seek permission for a regulated area for their event through a 
request to the phone number or email listed in the above FOR FURTHER 
INFORMATION CONTACT section.
    The Coast Guard encourages the public to participate in this 
proposed rulemaking through the comment process so that any necessary 
changes can be identified and implemented in a timely and efficient 
manner. The Coast Guard will address all public comments accordingly, 
whether through response, additional revision to the regulation, or 
otherwise.
    The Coast Guard is issuing this notice of proposed rulemaking 
(NPRM) with a 15-day prior notice and opportunity to comment pursuant 
to section (b)(3) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 
553). This provision authorizes an agency to publish a rule in less 
than 30 days before its effective date for ``good cause found and 
published with the rule.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), the Coast Guard 
finds that good cause exists for publishing this NPRM with a 15-day 
comment period because it is impractical to provide a 30-day comment 
period. These proposed regulated areas are necessary to ensure the 
safety of vessels and persons during the marine events. It is 
impracticable to publish an NPRM with a 30-day comment period because 
some of these updates must be established as early as the end of April 
2019. A 15-day comment period would allow the Coast Guard to provide 
for public notice and comment, but also update the regulated areas soon 
enough that the length of the notice and comment period does not 
compromise public safety.

III. Discussion of the Proposed Rule

    Part 165 of 33 CFR contains regulations establishing regulated 
navigation areas and limited access areas to restrict vessel traffic 
for the safety of persons and property. Section 165.801, Table 1, 
establishes recurring safety zones to restrict vessel transit into and 
through specified areas to protect spectators, mariners, and other 
persons and property from potential hazards presented during certain 
events taking place in Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. From time to time, 
this section requires amendment to properly reflect the recurring 
safety zones in the AOR. This

[[Page 11450]]

proposed rule amends and updates Sec.  165.801, Table 1 as described 
below.
    This proposed rule adds 8 new recurring safety zones, removes 6 
recurring events, and amends the dates and regulated areas for 9 
recurring safety zones already listed in Section 165.801, Table 1, as 
follows:
    This proposed rule would add the following 8 safety zones to Table 
1 of Part 165.801:

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

    The effect of this proposed rule would be to restrict general 
navigation in the safety zones during these events. Vessels intending 
to transit the designated waterway through the safety zones will only 
be allowed to transit the area when COTP, or a designated 
representative, has deemed it safe to do so or at the completion of the 
events. The proposed annually recurring safety zones are necessary to 
provide for the safety of life on navigable waters during the events.

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

    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 13771 directs agencies to control 
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This NPRM has not been 
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 
12866. Accordingly, the NPRM has not been reviewed by the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt 
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size, 
location, and duration of the safety zones. These safety zones are 
limited in size and duration, and are usually positioned away from high 
vessel traffic areas. Moreover, the Coast Guard would issue a Broadcast 
Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16 about the zones, and 
the rule would allow vessels to seek permission to enter the zones. 
Vessel traffic would also be able to request permission from the COTP 
or a designated representative to enter the restricted area.

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 would not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit 
these safety zones 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. 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 proposed 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 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 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 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 rule does not have tribal implications under E.O. 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 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. Normally such actions are 
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L61 of 
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 01 as 
it involves the revision of the table that informs the public of safety 
zones occurring in the Sector Ohio Valley AOR. 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

[[Page 11452]]

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.
