[Docket No. USCG-2012-1057]
RIN 1625-AA08; AA00

Special Local Regulations and Safety Zones; Recurring Events in 
Northern New England

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to update special local regulations 
and permanent safety zones in the Coast Guard Captain of the Port 
(COTP) Northern New England Zone for annual recurring marine events. 
When these special local regulations or safety zones are activated and 
subject to enforcement, this rule would restrict vessels from portions 
of water areas during these annual recurring events. The revised 
special local regulations and safety zones would expedite public 
notification of events, and ensure the protection of the maritime 
public and event participants from the hazards associated with these 
annual recurring events.

Guard on or before May 21, 2013. Requests for public meetings must be 
received by the Coast Guard on or before April 12, 2013.

Register.

Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for the proposed rule is 33 U.S.C. 1226, 1231, 
1233; 46 U.S.C. Chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191, 195; 33 CFR 
1.05-1, and 160.5; Pub. L. 107-295, 116 Stat. 2064; and Department of 
Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1, which collectively authorize 
the Coast Guard to define regulatory safety zones and special local 
regulations.
    Swim events, fireworks displays, and marine events are held on an 
annual recurring basis on the navigable waters within the Coast Guard 
COTP Northern New England Zone. In the past, the Coast Guard has 
established special local regulations, regulated areas, and safety 
zones for these annual recurring events on a case by case basis to 
ensure the protection of the maritime public and event participants 
from the hazards associated with these events. The Coast Guard has not 
received public comments or concerns regarding the impact to waterway 
traffic from these annually recurring events.

[[Page 17614]]

    This rulemaking will update the existing regulation in order to 
meet the Coast Guard's intended purpose of ensuring safety during these 
events.

Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The Coast Guard proposes to amend 33 CFR 100.120 (Special Local 
Regulations) and 33 CFR 165.171 (Safety Zones). The final rule was 
originally published at 76 FR 17530 on March 30, 2011.
    The proposed rule would update the list of annual recurring events 
in the existing regulation for the Coast Guard COTP Northern New 
England Zone. The Tables provide the event name, sponsor, and type, as 
well as approximate times, dates, and locations of the events. Advanced 
public notification of specific times, dates, regulated areas, and 
enforcement periods for each event will be provided through appropriate 
means, which may include, but are not limited to, the Local Notice to 
Mariners, Broadcast Notice to Mariners, or a Notice of Enforcement 
published in the Federal Register. If an event does not have a date and 
time listed in this regulation, then the precise dates and times of the 
enforcement period for that event will be announced through a Notice of 
Enforcement in the Federal Register.

Regulatory Analyses

    The Coast Guard developed this proposed 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.

Executive Order 12866 and Executive Order 13563

    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, 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.
    We expect the economic impact of this proposed rule to be minimal. 
Although this regulation may have some impact on the public, the 
potential impact will be minimized for the following reasons: The Coast 
Guard is only modifying an existing regulation to account for new 
information.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have 
considered whether this proposed 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 proposed 
rule would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities. This proposed rule would affect the following 
entities, some of which might be small entities: Owners or operators of 
vessels intending to transit, fish, or anchor in the areas where the 
listed annual recurring events are being held.
    The proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: Vessels 
will only be restricted from safety zones and special local regulation 
areas for a short duration of time; vessels may transit in portions of 
the affected waterway except for those areas covered by the proposed 
regulated areas. In addition, this action is only modifying an existing 
rule which, in and of itself, did not have a significant impact on a 
substantial number of small entities.
    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.

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 so that they can better 
evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. 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 under FOR 
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 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.

Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would call 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 proposed rule 
under that Order and have determined that it does not have implications 
for federalism.

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.

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 rule 
elsewhere in this preamble.

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.

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.

Protection of Children

    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.

[[Page 17615]]

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.

Energy Effects

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

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 appears to be 
one of a category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively 
have a significant effect on the human environment.
    A preliminary environmental analysis checklist supporting this 
determination will be available in the docket where indicated under 
ADDRESSES. This proposed rule involves water activities including 
swimming events and fireworks displays. This rule appears to be 
categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(g) (Safety 
Zones) and (34)(h) (Special Local Regulations) of the Instruction.
    We seek any comments or information that may lead to the discovery 
of a significant environmental impact from this proposed rule.
