II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    On February 18, 2015, the Coast Guard published a final rule 
entitled Safety Zones; Annual Events Requiring Safety Zones in the 
Captain of the Port Lake Michigan Zone in the Federal Register (80 FR 
8536). This final rule published after the Coast Guard requested public 
comments in response to a preceding NPRM in the Federal Register (79 FR 
77415, December 24, 2014). No public meeting was requested, and none 
was held.
    The legal basis for this proposed rule is the Coast Guard's 
authority to establish safety zones: 33 U.S.C. 1231; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 
160.5; Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1.
    The purpose of this rulemaking is to update the safety zones in 
Sec.  165.929 to ensure that they match the times, dates, and 
dimensions for various marine and triggering events that are expected 
to be conducted with the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan Zone 
throughout the year. The purpose of the rulemaking is also to ensure 
vessels and persons are protected from the specific hazards related to 
the aforementioned events. These specific hazards include obstructions 
to the waterway that may cause marine casualties; collisions among 
vessels maneuvering at a high speed within a channel; the explosive 
dangers involved in pyrotechnics and hazardous cargo; and flaming/
falling debris into the water that may cause injuries.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    This proposed rule amends 18 permanent safety zones found within 
table 165.929 in 33 CFR 165.929. These 18 amendments involve updating 
the location, size, and/or enforcement times for: 11 fireworks displays 
in various locations; 1 regatta in Spring Lake, Michigan; 3 Air Shows; 
1 Facility in Marinette, Wisconsin; 1 boat race from Chicago, Illinois; 
and 1 ski show in Sister Bay, Wisconsin.
    Additionally, this proposed rule adds 3 new safety zones to table 
165.929 within Sec.  165.929 for annually-reoccurring events in the 
Captain of the Port Lake Michigan Zone. These 3 zones were added in 
order to protect the public from the safety hazards previously 
described. The 3 additions include 2 safety zones for fireworks 
displays, and 1 safety zone for a boat parade in Chicago Harbor, 
Chicago, Illinois. A list of specific changes and additions are 
available in the attachments within this Docket.
    The Captain of the Port Lake Michigan has determined that the 
safety zones in this proposed rule are necessary to ensure the safety 
of vessels and people during annual marine or triggering events in the 
Captain of the Port Lake Michigan zone. Although this proposed rule 
will be effective year-round, the safety zones in this proposed rule 
will be enforced only immediately before, during, and after events that 
pose a hazard to the public and only upon notice by the Captain of the 
Port Lake Michigan.
    The Captain of the Port Lake Michigan will notify the public that 
the zones in this proposal are or will be enforced by all appropriate 
means to the affected segments of the public, including publication in 
the Federal Register, as practicable, in accordance with 33 CFR 
165.7(a). Such means of notification may also include, but are not 
limited to, Broadcast Notice to Mariners or Local Notice to Mariners.
    All persons and vessels must comply with the instructions of the 
Coast Guard Captain of the Port Lake Michigan or his or her designated 
representative. Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within the safety 
zones is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port or his 
or her designated representative. The Captain of the Port or his or her 
designated representative may be contacted via VHF Channel 16.

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 the 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 13563 emphasizes the importance of 
quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing 
rules, and of promoting flexibility. 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.
    We conclude that this proposed rule is not a significant regulatory 
action because we anticipate that it will have minimal impact on the 
economy, will not interfere with other agencies, will not adversely 
alter the budget of any grant or loan recipients, and will not raise 
any novel legal or policy issues. The safety zones created by this rule 
will be relatively small and effective during the time to ensure safety 
of spectator and participants for the listed triggering or marine 
events. 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.

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 the 
safety zone 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.

[[Page 3071]]

    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.
    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 
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 would 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 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 
have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism 
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order 
13132.
    Also, 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. If 
you believe this proposed rule has implications for federalism or 
Indian tribes, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER 
INFORMATION CONTACT section.

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 proposed rule would not 
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this 
proposed 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. This proposed rule involves the 
establishment of safety zones for yearly triggering and marine events 
on and around Lake Michigan. Normally such actions are categorically 
excluded from further review under paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2-1 of 
Commandant Instruction M16475.lD. An environmental analysis checklist 
and 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.

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 
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.

V. Public Participation and Request for Comments

and will consider all comments and material received during the comment 
period. Your comment can help shape the outcome of this rulemaking. If 
you submit a comment, please include the docket number for this 
rulemaking, indicate the specific section of this document to which

Mariners and/or on-scene notice by his or her designated 
representative.
    (d) Exemption. Public vessels, as defined in paragraph (b) of this 
section, are exempt from the requirements in this section.
    (e) Waiver. For any vessel, the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan 
or his or her designated representative may waive any of the 
requirements of this section upon finding that operational conditions 
or other circumstances are such that application of this section is 
unnecessary or impractical for the purposes of safety or security.
