33 CFR Part 165

[Docket No. USCG-2013-1060]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zones; Eighth Coast Guard District Annual and Recurring 
Safety Zones Update

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Interim final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is amending and updating its current list of 
recurring safety zone regulations that take place in the Eighth Coast 
Guard District area of responsibility (AOR). This interim rule informs 
the public of regularly scheduled events that require additional safety 
measures through establishing a safety zone. Through this interim rule 
the current list of recurring safety zones is updated with revisions, 
additional events, and removal of events that no longer take place in 
the Eighth Coast Guard District AOR. When these safety zones are 
enforced, vessel traffic is restricted from specified areas. 
Additionally, this one rulemaking project reduces administrative costs 
involved in producing a separate rule for each individual recurring 
safety zone and serves to provide notice of the known recurring safety 
zones throughout the year.

DATES: This rule is effective April 22, 2014. Comments and related 
material must be received by the Coast Guard on or before May 22, 2014.

B. Regulatory History and Information

    The Coast Guard is issuing this interim 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. This interim rule is effective upon 
publication without prior notice through publication in the Federal 
Register, but also invites comments regarding the updated list of 
safety zones. The Coast Guard will address all comments accordingly, 
whether through response, additional revision to the regulation, or 
otherwise. Completing the full NPRM process would unnecessarily delay 
the effective dates for the safety zones listed to occur in April and 
May of 2014. This interim rule, prepared to provide the most up to date 
list of recurring events requiring safety zones, provides ample notice 
for all listed safety zones occurring after May. Additionally, these 
recurring events are noticed to the public through local avenues and 
planned on by the local communities.
    The current list of annual and recurring safety zones occurring in 
the Eighth Coast Guard District AOR is published under 33 CFR 165.801. 
That list was created May 16, 2012 through a previous rulemaking, [77 
FR 2876] and received no adverse comments. The May 2012 rulemaking 
established 33 CFR 165.801 creating the current comprehensive list of 
recurring safety zones. In addition to amending and updating the 
current list, this interim rule provides additional clarity by 
separating the events and safety zones according to each Coast Guard 
Sector within the Eighth District.
    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. Providing a 30-day 
notice would unnecessarily delay the safety zone effective dates for 
the events listed to occur in April and May of 2014, which are also 
noticed to the public through local avenues and are planned on by the 
local communities.

[[Page 22400]]

C. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for the rule 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; and Department of Homeland 
Security Delegation No. 0170.1, which collectively authorize the Coast 
Guard to define regulatory safety zones. The Coast Guard is amending 
and updating the safety zone regulations under 33 CFR part 165 to 
include the most up to date list of recurring safety zones for events 
held on or around navigable waters within the Eighth Coast Guard 
District. These events include air shows, fireworks displays, and other 
marine related events requiring a limited access area restricting 
vessel traffic for safety purposes. The current list under 33 CFR 
165.801 requires amending to provide new information on existing safety 
zones and updating to include new safety zones expected to recur 
annually or biannually and to remove safety zones that are no longer 
required. Issuing individual regulations for each new safety zone, 
amendment, or removal of an existing safety zone creates unnecessary 
administrative costs and burdens. This single rulemaking considerably 
reduces administrative overhead and provides the public with notice 
through publication in the Federal Register of the upcoming recurring 
safety zone regulations.
    The Coast Guard encourages the public to participate in this 
rulemaking through the comment process so that any necessary changes 
necessary can be identified and implemented in a timely and efficient 
manner.

D. Discussion of the Interim Rule

    33 CFR part 165 contains regulations establishing limited access 
areas to restrict vessel traffic for the safety of persons and 
property. Section 165.801 establishes recurring safety zones to 
restrict vessel transit into and through specified areas to protect 
spectators, mariners, and other persons and property from potential 
hazards presented during certain events taking place in the Eighth 
Coast Guard District AOR. This section requires amendment from time to 
time to properly reflect the recurring safety zone regulations in the 
Eighth Coast Guard District. This interim rule amends and updates 
Section 165.801 replacing the current Table 1 with seven separate 
tables, one for each Sector within the Coast Guard's Eighth District as 
follows:

Table 1--Sector Ohio Valley
Table 2--Sector Upper Mississippi River
Table 3--Houston Galveston
Table 4--Corpus Christi
Table 5--New Orleans
Table 6--Sector Lower Mississippi River
Table 7--Sector Mobile

    Categorizing the safety zone regulations by Sector eliminates dual 
numbering within the District list and then again by Sector. Listing 
safety zone regulations by Sector also provides easier and quicker 
reference to a specific regulation.
    Additionally, this rule adds 31 new recurring safety zones and 
removes 12 safety zones as follows: 26 added under the new Table 1 for 
Sector Ohio Valley.

Regulatory Analyses
    We developed this 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.
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, Improving Regulation and 
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential 
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that Executive Order 12866 
or under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management 
and Budget has not reviewed it under that those Orders.
    The Coast Guard expects the economic impact of this rule to be so 
minimal that a full regulatory evaluation is unnecessary. This rule 
establishes safety zones limiting access to certain areas under 33 CFR 
165 within the Eighth Coast Guard District. The effect of this 
rulemaking will not be significant because these safety zones are 
limited in scope and duration. Additionally, the public is given 
advance notification through local forms of notice, the Federal 
Register, and/or Notices of Enforcement and thus will be able to plan 
operations around the safety zones in advance. Deviation from the 
safety zones established through this rulemaking may be requested from 
the appropriate COTP and requests will be considered on a case-by-case 
basis.
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.
    This rule may affect the following entities, some of which might be 
small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to transit 
the safety zone areas during periods of enforcement. The safety zones 
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
small entities because they are limited in scope and will be in effect 
for short periods of time. Before the enforcement period, the Coast 
Guard COTP will issue maritime advisories widely available to waterway 
users. Deviation from the safety zones established through this 
rulemaking may be requested from the appropriate COTP and requests will 
be considered on a case-by-case basis.
    Therefore, the Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that 
this interim final rule will not have a significant economic impact on 
a substantial number of small entities.
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 businesses. 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, 
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 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 effect 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

[[Page 22404]]

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 0023.1 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 
that 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 section 2.B.2, 
figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(g) of the Instruction because it involves 
establishment of safety zones. An Environmental analysis and a 
categorical exclusion determination will be made available in the 
docket as indicated under ADDRESSES.
