Special Local Regulations; Recurring Marine Events in the Fifth 
Coast Guard District

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is revising the list of special local 
regulations established for recurring marine events at various 
locations within the geographic boundary of the Fifth Coast Guard 
District. This rule revises 33 CFR 100.501 by adding 6 new annual 
recurring marine events and modifying event date(s) for 12 previously 
established locations within the geographic boundary of the Fifth Coast 
Guard District. This rule also deletes 4 previously listed marine 
events and corresponding regulated areas that no longer occur. These 
regulations will apply to all events listed in the table attached to 
the regulation, and include events such as regattas, power boat races 
and marine parades. Special local regulations are established to 
provide for the safety of life on navigable waters during these events, 
reduce the Coast Guard's administrative workload and expedite public 
notification of events. Entry into or movement within these proposed 
regulated areas during the enforcement periods is prohibited without 
approval of the appropriate Captain of the Port.

DATES: This rule is effective February 21, 2012.

ADDRESSES: Comments and material received from the public, as well as 
documents mentioned in this preamble as being available in the docket,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulatory Information

    On October 12, 2011, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking 
(NPRM) entitled ``Special Local Regulations; Recurring Marine Events in 
the Fifth Coast Guard District'' in the Federal Register (76 FR 63239). 
We received no comments on the proposed rule.

Basis and Purpose

    The Coast Guard is revising the list of permanent special local 
regulations at 33 CFR 100.501, established for recurring marine events 
at various locations within the geographic boundary of the Fifth Coast 
Guard District. The Fifth Coast Guard District is comprised of the land 
areas and U.S. navigable waters adjacent to North Carolina, Virginia, 
District of Columbia, Maryland, Delaware and portions of Pennsylvania 
and New Jersey. For a detailed description of the geographical area of 
the district and each Coast Guard Sector--Captain of the Port Zone, 
please see 33 CFR 3.25.
    The Coast Guard is revising the list of special local regulations 
at 33 CFR 100.501, established for various marine events, by adding 6 
new annual recurring events and modifying 12 previously established 
locations within the geographic boundary of the Fifth Coast Guard 
District. This rule also deletes 4 previously listed marine events and 
corresponding regulated areas that are no longer occurring. The special 
local regulated areas removed from this section include: Night in 
Venice, Ocean City, NJ; Baltimore County Community Waterfront Festival, 
Martin Lagoon, MD; Annapolis Triathlon Swim, Spa Creek, Severn River, 
MD; and Virginia state hydroplane championships, Western Branch, 
Elizabeth River, VA. Currently there are 57 special local regulations 
that are established and enforced at various periods throughout the 
year that are held on an annual basis. This rule will increase the 
total number of special local regulations to 59 locations for marine 
events within the boundary of the Fifth Coast Guard District. The table 
to 33 CFR 100.501 is renumbered within each section to facilitate 
future changes.
    The Coast Guard is revising regulations at 33 CFR 100.501 by adding 
6 new marine event locations to the permanent special local regulations 
listed in this section. The new special local regulations are listed in 
the following table, including reference by section as printed in the 
Table to Sec.  100.501.

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

    This regulation currently includes events such as sailing regattas, 
power boat races, swim races, holiday parades, crew and other paddle 
craft races. Currently, there are 57 annual recurring marine events and 
many other non-recurring events within the Fifth Coast Guard District. 
In the past, the Coast Guard regulated these events by creating 
individual special local regulations on a case by case basis. Most of 
these events required only the establishment of a regulated area and 
assignment of a patrol commander to ensure safety. Issuing individual, 
annual special local regulations has created a significant 
administrative burden on the Coast Guard.
    Additionally, for the majority of these events, the Coast Guard 
does not receive notification of the event, or important details of the 
event are not finalized by event organizers, with sufficient time to 
publish a notice of proposed rulemaking and final rule before the event 
date. The Coast Guard must therefore create temporary final rules that 
sometimes are completed only days before the event. This results in 
delayed notification to

[[Page 2631]]

the public, potentially placing the public and event participants at 
risk.
    This rule will significantly relieve the administrative burden on 
the Coast Guard, and at the same time allow the sponsor of the event 
and the Coast Guard to notify the public of these events in a timely 
manner. The public would be provided with notice of events through the 
table attached to this regulation. This table lists each recurring 
marine event that may be regulated by the Coast Guard, and indicates 
the sponsor, as well as the date(s) and location of the event. Because 
the dates and locations of these events may change slightly from year 
to year, the specific information on each event, including the exact 
dates, specific areas, and description of the regulated area, would be 
provided to the public through a Local Notice to Mariners published 
before the event, as well as through Broadcast Notice to Mariners. This 
table would also be updated by the Coast Guard periodically to add new 
recurring events, remove events that no longer occur, and update listed 
events to ensure accurate information is provided.
    Based on the nature of marine events, large number of participants 
and spectators, and the event locations, the Coast Guard has determined 
that the events listed in this rule could pose a risk to participants 
or waterway users if normal vessel traffic were to interfere with the 
event. Possible hazards include risks of participant injury or death 
resulting from near or actual contact with non-participant vessels 
traversing through the regulated areas. In order to protect the safety 
of all waterway users including event participants and spectators, this 
rule would establish special local regulations for the time and 
location of each marine event.
    This prevents vessels from entering, transiting, mooring or 
anchoring within areas specifically designated as regulated areas 
during the periods of enforcement unless authorized by the Captain of 
the Port, or designated Coast Guard Patrol Commander. The designated 
``Patrol Commander'' includes Coast Guard commissioned, warrant, or 
petty officer who has been designated by the Captain of the Port to act 
on their behalf. On-scene patrol commander may be augmented by local, 
State or Federal officials authorized to act in support of the Coast 
Guard.

Discussion of Comments and Changes

    The Coast Guard did not receive comments in response to the notice 
of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published in the Federal Register. 
Accordingly, the Coast Guard is revising the special local regulations 
as outlined in this rulemaking and listed in the table to Sec.  
100.501.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this 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

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f) 
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as 
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and 
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential 
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that Executive Order 12866 
or under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management 
and Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders.
    We expect the economic impact of this rule to be so minimal that a 
full Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary. The effect of this action 
merely establishes the dates on which the existing regulations would be 
enforced and consolidates them within one regulation. It would not 
impose any additional restrictions on vessel traffic.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have 
considered whether this 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 rule will 
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 areas where marine events are being held. 
This regulation will not have a significant impact on a substantial 
number of small entities because it will only be enforced on 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. Additionally, in most 
cases, vessels will be able to safely transit around the regulated area 
at all times, and, with the permission of the Patrol Commander, vessels 
may transit through the regulated area.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), in the NPRM we offered to 
assist small entities in understanding the rule so that they could 
better evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking 
process.
    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.

Collection of Information

    This rule calls 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 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 (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.

Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise 
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental 
Actions and

[[Page 2632]]

Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

    This 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 rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection 
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule 
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an 
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may 
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    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.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this 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 rule does not use technical standards. 
Therefore, we did not consider the use of voluntary consensus 
standards.

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 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded 
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 is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(h.), 
of the Instruction. 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 checklist and a categorical exclusion 
determination are not required for this rule.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 100

    Marine safety, Navigation (water), Reporting and recordkeeping 
requirements, Waterways.

    For the reasons discussed in the preamble, the Coast Guard amends 
33 CFR part 100 as follows:

Sec.  100.501  Special Local Regulations; Marine Events in the Fifth 
Coast Guard District.

    The following regulations apply to the marine events listed in the 
Table to Sec.  100.501. These regulations will be effective annually, 
for the duration of each event listed in the Table to Sec.  100.501. 
Annual notice of the exact dates and times of the effective period of 
the regulation with respect to each event, the geographical area, and 
details concerning the nature of the event and the number of 
participants and type(s) of vessels involved will be published in Local 
Notices to Mariners and via Broadcast Notice to Mariners over VHF-FM 
marine band radio.
    (a) Definitions. The following definitions apply to this section:
    (1) Coast Guard Patrol Commander. A Patrol Commander is a 
commissioned, warrant, or petty officer of the Coast Guard who has been 
designated by the respective Coast Guard Sector--Captain of the Port to 
enforce these regulations.
    (2) Official Patrol means any vessel assigned or approved by the 
respective Captain of the Port with a commissioned, warrant, or petty 
officer on board and displaying a Coast Guard ensign.
    (3) Spectators. All persons and vessels not registered with the 
event sponsor as participants or official patrol vessels.
    (b) Event Patrol. The Coast Guard may assign an event patrol, as

in the table. Additionally, a Patrol Commander may be assigned to 
oversee the patrol. The event patrol and Patrol Commander may be 
contacted on VHF-FM Channel 16.
    (c) Special local regulations. (1) The Coast Guard Patrol Commander 
may forbid and control the movement of all vessels in the regulated 
area(s). When hailed or signaled by an official patrol vessel, a vessel 
in these areas shall immediately comply with the directions given. 
Failure to do so may result in expulsion from the area, citation for 
failure to comply, or both.
    (2) The Coast Guard Patrol Commander may terminate the event, or 
the operation of any vessel participating in the event, at any time it 
is deemed necessary for the protection of life or property.
    (3) Only event sponsor designated participants and official patrol 
vessels are allowed to enter the regulated area.
    (4) Spectators are only allowed inside the regulated area if they 
remain within a designated spectator area. Spectators may contact the 
Coast Guard Patrol Commander to request permission to pass through the 
regulated area. If permission is granted, spectators must pass directly 
through the regulated area at safe speed and without loitering.
    (d) Contact information. Questions about marine events should be
