Regulatory Information

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary interim 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 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. It is impractical to issue a NPRM and take public comment 
before July 3rd, 2010 when the first marine event necessitating a 
safety zone is scheduled to occur. Further, it is contrary to public 
interest to delay the effective date of this rule or to delay or cancel 
the scheduled events. 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 persons and vessels from the hazards 
associated with vessels participating in regattas, powerboat races, 
swim events and parades as well as the hazardous nature of fireworks 
including unexpected detonation and burning debris. We are requesting 
public comment on the safety zones, and if we receive public input that 
indicates a need to revise the safety zone regulations or the 
conditions they impose, or raises any other significant public 
concerns, we will address those concerns prior to issuing any final 
rule.

Basis and Purpose

    Marine events are frequently held on the navigable waters within 
the area of responsibility for Captain of the Port Sector Northern New 
England. These events include sailing regattas, swim events, power boat 
races, row and paddle boat races, parades, and firework displays. Based 
on the nature of the 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 safety zones. In order to protect the safety of 
all waterway users including event participants and spectators, this 
temporary rule establishes 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 safety zones during 
the periods of enforcement unless authorized by the Captain of the 
Port, or designated on-scene patrol personnel. ``Designated on-scene 
patrol personnel'' are any Coast Guard commissioned, warrant, or petty 
officer who has been designated by the Captain of the Port to act on 
his behalf. On-scene patrol personnel may be comprised of local, state 
or federal officials authorized to act in support of the Coast Guard.
    The Coast Guard has ordered safety zones or special local 
regulations for all of these 51 areas for past events and has not 
received public comments or concerns regarding the impact to waterway 
traffic from these annual events.

Discussion of Rule

    This temporary rule creates safety zones for all navigable waters 
within the described area of each event as follows: a 350 yard safety 
zone around all firework displays, a 200 foot safety zone around all 
swim event routes, and a 50 yard safety zone around all power boat 
races, row and paddle boat races, and regattas.
    The tables below summarize the safety zone size that applies to 
each event along with the event name, date, time, and location:

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

    As large numbers of spectator vessels are expected to congregate 
around the location of these events, the safety zones are needed to 
protect both spectators and participants from the safety hazards 
created by the event. During the enforcement period of the safety 
zones, persons and vessels are prohibited from entering, transiting 
through, remaining, anchoring or mooring within the zone unless 
specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port or his designated 
representatives. The Coast Guard may be assisted by other federal, 
state and local agencies in the enforcement of these safety zones.
    The Coast Guard determined that these safety zones will not have a 
significant impact on vessel traffic due to their temporary nature and 
limited size and the fact that vessels are allowed to transit the 
navigable waters outside of the safety zones.
    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 interim 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, 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.
    The Coast Guard determined that this rule is not a significant 
regulatory action for the following reasons: The safety zones will be 
of limited duration, they cover only a small portion of the navigable 
waterways, and the events are designed to avoid, to the extent 
possible, deep draft, fishing, and recreational boating traffic routes. 
In addition, vessels requiring entry into the area of the safety zones 
may be authorized to do so by the Captain of the Port.

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 safety zones during the enforcement 
periods stated for each event in the List of Subjects.
    The safety zones will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: The 
safety zones 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 safety zones. 
Additionally, before the effective period, the Coast Guard will issue 
notice of the time and location of each safety zone through a Local 
Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners.

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 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,

[[Page 32285]]

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 temporary 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)(g), of the Instruction as this rule involves 
establishing safety zones. An environmental analysis checklist and a 
categorical exclusion determination are available in the docket where 
indicated under ADDRESSES. Any comments received concerning 
environmental impacts will be considered and changes made to the 
environmental analysis checklist, categorical exclusion determination, 
and this rulemaking as appropriate.

     (b) Notification. Coast Guard Sector Northern New England will 
cause notice of the enforcement of these temporary safety zones to be 
made by all appropriate means to affect the widest publicity among the 
effected segments of the public, including publication in the Local 
Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
    (c) Effective Period. This rule is effective from 8 p.m. on July 3, 
2010 through 11:59 p.m. on September 29, 2010.

[[Page 32293]]

    (d) Enforcement Period. This section will be enforced for the 
duration of each event indicated in the table above. If the event is 
cancelled due to inclement weather, this section is in effect for the 
day following the scheduled time listed in the table above or as 
indicated in the Local Notice to Mariners. Notification of events held 
on a rain date will be made by Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
    (e) Regulations. (1) The general regulations contained in 33 CFR 
165.23 apply. During the enforcement period, entry into, transiting 
through, remaining, mooring or anchoring within these safety zones is 
prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port or his 
designated representatives.
    (2) These temporary safety zones are closed to all vessel traffic, 
except as may be permitted by the Captain of the Port or his designated 
representatives. Vessel operators given permission to enter or operate 
in the safety zones must comply with all directions given to them by 
the Captain of the Port or his designated representatives. Vessels that 
are granted permission to enter or remain within a safety zone may be 
required to be at anchor or moored to a waterfront facility such that 
the vessel's location will not interfere with the progress of the 
event. At all times when a vessel has been granted permission to enter 
within a safety zone, it shall endeavor to maintain at least 50 yards 
distance from any event participant unless otherwise directed.
    (3) The ``designated representative'' is any Coast Guard 
commissioned, warrant or petty officer who has been designated by the 
Captain of the Port to act on his behalf. The on-scene representative 
may be on a Coast Guard vessel, a state or local law enforcement 
vessel, or other designated craft, or may be on shore and will 
communicate with vessels via VHF-FM radio or loudhailer. In addition, 
members of the Coast Guard Auxiliary may be present to inform vessel 
operators of this regulation.
    (4) Vessel operators desiring to enter or operate within the safety 
zones shall request permission to do so by contacting the Captain of 
the Port Sector Northern New England at 207-767-0303, or via VHF 
Channel 16.
    (5) The Captain of the Port or his designated representative may 
direct the delay, cancellation, or relocation of the specific area to 
be regulated within the generally described locations listed in the 
EVENTS TABLE above to ensure safety and compliance with environmental 
laws. Such changes in implementation of the safety zones may be 
required as a result of factors that could affect their associated 
marine events such as weather, vessel traffic density, spectator 
activities, participant behavior or potential environmental impacts.

    Dated: May 19, 2010.

Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port Sector Northern New 
England.
