33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2014-0300]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zones; Fireworks Displays in the Sector Columbia River 
Captain of the Port Zone

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to add twenty four new fireworks 
events at various locations in the Sector Columbia River Captain of the 
Port zone. The Coast Guard also proposes to correct the location of 
some existing fireworks events in the Sector Columbia River Captain of 
the Port zone. In addition, the Coast Guard proposes to change the 
format of the existing regulation by using a table to list each 
fireworks. When these safety zones are activated and subject to 
enforcement, this rule would limit the movement of vessels within the 
established firework display areas. These additional safety zones and 
corrections to existing safety zones are necessary to prevent injury 
and to protect life and property of the maritime public from hazards 
associated with fireworks displays.

Guard on or before July 18, 2014.
    Requests for public meetings must be received by the Coast Guard on 
or before June 25, 2014.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for these proposed regulations is 33 U.S.C. 1231; 
46 U.S.C. Chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191, 195; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 
6.04-1, 6.04-6, and 160.5; Public Law 107-295, 116 Stat. 2064; 
Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1 which 
collectively authorize the Coast Guard to establish regulatory safety 
zones for safety and environmental purposes.
    These proposed regulations are necessary to promote the safety of 
life on navigable waterways during various fireworks events located 
within the Captain of the Port Sector Columbia River zone.

C. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    Fireworks displays create hazardous conditions for the maritime 
public because of the large number of vessels that congregate near the 
displays, as well as the noise, falling debris, and explosions that 
occur during the event. Because fireworks discharge sites can pose a 
hazard to the maritime public, these proposed regulations are necessary 
in order to restrict vessel movement and reduce vessel congregation in 
the proximity of the fireworks discharge sites. The proposed 
corrections to the locations of some of the fireworks events listed in 
33 CFR 165.1315 as well as the additional 24 safety zones proposed in 
this NPRM would be implemented to help ensure the safe navigation of 
maritime traffic in the Sector Columba River Area of Responsibility 
during fireworks displays.
    This rule also proposes to amend the following fireworks displays 
into a table format and update some event positions in order to 
accurately reflect the coordinates of the fireworks displays listed in 
33 CFR 165.1315:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Event name (typically)                Event location                     Date of event                   Latitude                  Longitude

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

    These safety zones will extend on and under the waters, 450 yards 
from the radius of the launch site described above. This zone size 
allows for the use of up to a 16'' mortar shell in annual fireworks 
displays. These zones are nominal in size and are typically positioned 
in areas which allow for transit around the zone. Thus, these zones 
have an inconsequential impact on the majority of waterway users. These 
zones are also short in duration and waterway users will be permitted 
to enter or transit through the zone when deemed safe by the on-scene 
patrol commander.

D. 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 or executive orders.

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This proposed 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 Executive Order 12866 or 
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and 
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders. The Coast Guard bases 
this finding on the fact that the safety zones listed will be in place 
for a limited period of time and are minimal in duration.

[[Page 34672]]

2. Impact on Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have 
considered the impact of this proposed rule on small entities. 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.
    (1) This rule may affect the following entities, some of which may 
be small entities: The owners and operators of vessels intending to 
operate in the area covered by the safety zone. The rule will not have 
a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities 
because the safety zones will only be in effect for a limited period of 
time. Additionally, vessels can still transit through the zone with the 
permission of the Captain of the Port. Before the effective period, we 
will publish advisories in the Local Notice to Mariners available to 
users of the river. Maritime traffic will be able to schedule their 
transits around the safety zone.
    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.

3. 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. 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. 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.

4. 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.).

5. Federalism

    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 
determined that this rule does not have implications for federalism.

6. 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.

7. 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 expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule 
elsewhere in this preamble.

8. Taking of Private Property

    This proposed rule would 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.

9. 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.

10. Protection of Children From Environmental Health Risks

    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.

11. 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.

12. Energy Effects

    This proposed rule is not a ``significant energy action'' under 
Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That 
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we 
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. 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 that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant 
effect on the human environment. This proposed rule involves the 
amendment to existing safety zones to reflect the correct position of 
the fireworks launch location and the addition of safety zones in 33 
CFR 165.1315. This rule is categorically excluded from further review 
under paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. A 
preliminary environmental analysis checklist supporting this 
determination and a Categorical Exclusion Determination are 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.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 165

    (b) Special requirements. Fireworks barges or launch sites on land 
used in locations stated in this rule shall display a sign. The sign 
will be affixed to the port and starboard side of the barge or mounted 
on a post 3 feet above ground level when on land and in close proximity 
to the shoreline facing the water labeled ``FIREWORKS--DANGER--STAY 
AWAY.'' This will provide on-scene notice that the safety zone is, or 
will, be enforced on that day. This notice will consist of a diamond 
shaped sign, 4 foot by 4 foot, with a 3 inch orange retro-reflective 
border. The word ``DANGER' shall be 10 inch black block letters 
centered on the sign with the words ``FIREWORKS'' and ``STAY AWAY'' in 
6 inch black block letters placed above and below the word ``DANGER'' 
respectively on a white background. An on-scene patrol vessel may 
enforce these safety zones at least

[[Page 34674]]

1 hour prior to the start and 1 hour after the conclusion of the 
fireworks display.
    (c) Notice of enforcement. These safety zones will be activated and 
thus subject to enforcement, under the following conditions: The Coast 
Guard must receive and approve a marine event permit for each fireworks 
display and then the Captain of the Port will cause notice of the 
enforcement of these safety zones to be made by all appropriate means 
to provide notice to the affected segments of the public as 
practicable, in accordance with 33 CFR 165.7(a). The Captain of the 
Port will issue a Local Notice to Mariners notifying the public of 
activation and suspension of enforcement of these safety zones. 
Additionally, an on-scene Patrol Commander may be appointed to enforce 
the safety zones by limiting the transit of non-participating vessels 
in the designated areas described above.
    (d) Regulations. In accordance with the general regulations in 33 
CFR part 165, subpart C, no vessel operator may enter, transit, moor, 
or anchor within this safety zone, except for vessels authorized by the 
Captain of the Port or Designated Representative.
    (e) Authorization. All vessel operators who desire to enter the 
safety zone must obtain permission from the Captain of the Port or 
Designated Representative by contacting either the on-scene patrol 
craft on VHF Ch 13 or Ch 16 or the Coast Guard Sector Columbia River 
Command Center via telephone at (503) 861-6211.
    (f) Enforcement period. This rule will be enforced at least 1 hour 
before and 1 hour after the duration of the event each day a barge or 
launch site with a ``FIREWORKS--DANGER--STAY AWAY'' sign is located 
within any of the above designated safety zone locations and meets the 
criteria established in paragraphs (a), (b), and (c).
    (g) Contact information. Questions about safety zones and related 
events should be addressed to COMMANDER (spw), MARINE SAFETY UNIT 
PORTLAND, Attention: Waterways Management Division, 6767 N. Basin Ave,
