SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule without prior 
notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 
4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This 
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and 
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those 
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public 
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good 
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 
with respect to this rule because any delay encountered in this 
regulation's effective date by publishing an NPRM would be contrary to 
public interest since immediate action is needed to protect both 
spectators and participants from the potential safety hazards 
associated with these events. We spoke to the event sponsors, and they 
are unable and unwilling to move their event dates for the following 
reasons.
    Sponsors for Waves of Hope Swim, Stonewall Swim, Hartford Dragon 
Boat Races and Kayak for a Cause have hundreds of participants 
registered for their events. Changing the dates for these events would 
cause numerous cancellations. These events have taken place at the same 
time and location for the last several years without issue. The 
sponsors submitted recurring marine event permit applications with the 
required 60 day notice. This year the Coast Guard is establishing 
special local regulations and safety zones to mitigate an increased 
safety risk analysis score, according to permit applications the 
expected number of participants has increased significantly. This was 
not discovered until the permit applications were submitted leaving the 
Coast Guard with insufficient time to solicit for public comment. For 
future recurring events, the sponsor will be required to provide 135 
days notice to ensure sufficient time to solicit for public comments.
    The sponsors for Doug Chappy Fireworks, Darin's 30th Birthday 
Fireworks, Shelter Island Fireworks and Spincola Wedding Fireworks 
stated their events are held in conjunction with birth dates, 
anniversaries and weddings and cannot be moved. The sponsors were not 
aware of the requirements for submitting a marine event application 135 
days in advance resulting in a late notification to the Coast Guard. 
The sponsors are now aware of the reporting requirements.
    The sponsor for Ascension Fireworks (also known as Fund in the Sun) 
submitted a marine event application with sufficient notice to the 
Coast Guard. This fireworks display is a

[[Page 53338]]

recurring marine event with a corresponding entry in a proposed 
permanent rule for which the NPRM just closed its public comment period 
(docket number USCG-2008-0384); No public comments were received. The 
Coast Guard is establishing this temporary safety zones to provide for 
safety of life during this year's event.
    For the same reasons, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard 
finds that good cause exists for making this rule effective less than 
30 days after publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the 
effective date by first publishing a NPRM would be contrary to the 
rule's objectives of ensuring safety of life on the navigable waters 
during these scheduled events as immediate action is needed to protect 
both spectators and participants from the potential safety hazards 
associated with these events including powerboats traveling at high 
speeds, unexpected pyrotechnics detonation and burning debris.

Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for this temporary rule is 33 U.S.C. 1226, 1231, 
1233; 46 U.S.C. chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 46 U.S.C. 454, 50 U.S.C. 191, 
195; Public Law 107-295, 116 Stat. 2064; and Department of Homeland 
Security Delegation No. 0170.1, which collectively authorize the Coast 
Guard to define regulatory special local regulations and safety zones.
    This temporary rule carries out two related actions: (1) 
Establishing special local regulations for regattas, and (2) 
establishing safety zones for fireworks and swim events. Marine events 
are frequently held on the navigable waters within the COTP Long Island 
Sound Zone. Based on accidents that have occurred in the past and the 
explosive hazards of fireworks, the COTP Long Island has determined 
that regattas, fireworks displays and swim events proximate to 
watercrafts pose significant risk to public safety and property.
    In order to protect the safety of all waterway users including 
event participants and spectators, this temporary rule establishes 
temporary special local regulations and safety zones for the time and 
location of each event.
    This rule prevents vessels from entering, transiting, mooring or 
anchoring within areas specifically designated as regulated areas 
during the periods of enforcement unless authorized by the COTP, or 
designated representative.

Discussion of Rule

    This temporary rule establishes special local regulations for two 
regattas, and safety zones for two swimming events and five fireworks 
displays in the COTP Long Island Sound Zone. These events are listed 
below in the text of the regulation in table format.
    Because large numbers of spectator vessels are expected to 
congregate around the location of these events, these regulated areas 
are needed to protect both spectators and participants from the safety 
hazards created by them including large numbers of swimmers, unexpected 
pyrotechnics detonation, and burning debris. During the enforcement 
periods, persons and vessels are prohibited from entering, transiting 
through, remaining, anchoring or mooring within the regulated areas 
unless stipulated otherwise or specifically authorized by the COTP or 
the designated representative. The Coast Guard may be assisted by other 
Federal, state and local agencies in the enforcement of these regulated 
areas.
    The Coast Guard determined that these regulated areas will not have 
a significant impact on vessel traffic due to their temporary nature, 
limited size, and the fact that vessels are allowed to transit the 
navigable waters outside of the regulated areas. Advanced public 
notifications will also be made to the local maritime community by the 
Local Notice to Mariners as well as Broadcast Notice to Mariners.

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, 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 those Orders.
    The Coast Guard determined that this rule is not a significant 
regulatory action for the following reasons: The regulated areas will 
be of limited duration and cover only a small portion of the navigable 
waterways. Furthermore, vessels may transit the navigable waterways 
outside of the regulated areas. Vessels requiring entry into the 
regulated areas may be authorized to do so by the COTP or the 
designated representative.
    Advanced public notifications will also be made to the local 
maritime community by the Local Notice to Mariners as well as Broadcast 
Notice to Mariners.

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 will affect the following entities, some of which 
may be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to 
transit or anchor in the designated regulated areas during the 
enforcement periods stated for each event listed below in the List of 
Subjects.
    The temporary special local regulations and safety zones will not 
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities for the following reasons: The regulated areas will be of 
limited size and of short duration, and vessels that can safely do so 
may navigate in all other portions of the waterways except for the 
areas designated as regulated areas. Additionally, before the effective 
period, notifications will be made to the local maritime community 
through the Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners 
well in advance of the events.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we offer to assist small 
entities in understanding the rule so that they can 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

[[Page 53339]]

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 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 which do not individually 
or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. 
This rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph 
(34)(g) & (h), of the Instruction. This rule involves the establishment 
of special local regulations and safety zones. An environmental 
analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion determination are 
available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES.
