Special Local Regulation for Marine Event; Temporary Change of 
Dates for Recurring Marine Events in the Fifth Coast Guard District

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary interim rule with request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is temporarily changing the enforcement 
periods of special local regulations for recurring marine events in the 
Fifth Coast Guard District. These regulations apply to three recurring 
marine events that conduct a rowing regatta and power boat races. 
Special local regulations are necessary to provide for the safety of 
life on navigable waters during these events. This action is intended 
to restrict vessel traffic in a portion of the Severn River at 
Annapolis, MD, the Nanticoke River at Sharptown, MD, and Prospect Bay 
at Kent Island, MD during the events.

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 and opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause 
finds that those procedures are

[[Page 14960]]

``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 because delaying the effective date by first publishing an 
NPRM would be contrary to the public interest, since immediate action 
is needed to ensure the safety of the event participants, patrol 
vessels, spectator craft and other vessels transiting the event areas. 
The potential dangers posed by persons and vessels operating in close 
proximity to relatively small rowing vessels and high-powered racing 
vessels in restricted waterways make special local regulations 
necessary. However, the Coast Guard will provide advance notifications 
to users of the effected waterways via marine information broadcasts 
and local notice to mariners. In addition, publishing an NPRM is 
unnecessary because these events are annual events which mariners 
should be aware of taking place, as they are noticed in the Federal 
Register. If mariners had concerns about these events taking place, 
they are on notice throughout the year of the events and can object to 
or comment about the events at any time. When the NPRM, including the 
table to Sec.  100.501 listing all of the annual events, was made 
available for comment, there were no objections to these events.
    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. The potential dangers posed by 
persons and vessels operating in close proximity to relatively small 
rowing vessels and high-powered racing vessels in a restricted 
waterways make special local regulations necessary. Delaying the 
effective date would be contrary to the public interest, since 
immediate action is needed to ensure the safety of the event 
participants, patrol vessels, spectator craft and other vessels 
transiting the event area. In addition, publishing an NPRM is 
unnecessary because these events are annual events which mariners 
should be aware of taking place, as they are noticed in the Federal 
Register. If mariners had concerns about these events taking place, 
they are on notice throughout the year of the events and can object to 
or comment about the events at any time. When the NPRM, including the 
table to Sec.  100.501 listing all of the annual events, was made 
available for comment, there were no objections to these events.

Basis and Purpose

    Marine events are frequently held on the navigable waters within 
the boundary of the Fifth Coast Guard District. The activities that 
typically comprise marine events include: sailing regattas, power boat 
races, swim races and holiday parades. The regulation listing annual 
marine events within the Fifth Coast Guard District and their regulated 
dates is 33 CFR 100.501. A table to Sec.  100.501 identifies marine 
events by Captain of the Port zone. For a description of the 
geographical area of each Coast Guard Sector--Captain of the Port Zone, 
please see 33 CFR 3.25.
    Because event planners notified the Coast Guard of date changes to 
three marine events previously published in the special local 
regulations for recurring marine events within the Fifth Coast Guard 
District at 33 CFR 100.501, Table to Sec.  100.501, this regulation 
temporarily changes the enforcement periods for these three marine 
events in 2012 only.
    The first event is the annual ``USNA Crew Races,'' sponsored by the 
U.S. Naval Academy, on the waters of the Severn River at Annapolis, MD. 
The regulation at 33 CFR 100.501 is effective annually for the USNA 
Crew Races marine events. The events consist of collegiate rowing 
competitions on the waters of the Severn River in Annapolis, Maryland. 
Participants operate on 2,000-meter marked courses with sponsor-
provided motor launches. Therefore, to ensure the safety of 
participants and support vessels, 33 CFR 100.501 is enforced for the 
duration of the event. Currently, under the provisions of 33 CFR 
100.501, from 6 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. on March 24, 2012, vessels may not 
enter the regulated area unless they receive permission from the Coast 
Guard Patrol Commander. Vessel traffic may be allowed to transit the 
regulated area only when the Patrol Commander determines it is safe to 
do so.
    The second event is the annual ``Bo Bowman Memorial--Sharptown 
Regatta,'' sponsored by the Virginia/Carolina Racing Association, on 
the waters of the Nanticoke River at Sharptown, MD. The regulation at 
33 CFR 100.501 is effective annually for the Bo Bowman Memorial--
Sharptown Regatta marine event. The event consists of two days of power 
boat racing on the waters of the Nanticoke River, at Sharptown, 
Maryland. High performance power boats will race on a designated course 
before a large fleet of spectator crafts. Therefore, to ensure the 
safety of participants and support vessels, 33 CFR 100.501 is enforced 
for the duration of the event. Currently, under the provisions of 33 
CFR 100.501, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on July 14, 2012 and from 9 a.m. to 
6 p.m. on July 15, 2012, vessels may not enter the regulated area 
unless they receive permission from the Coast Guard Patrol Commander. 
Vessel traffic may be allowed to transit the regulated area only when 
the Patrol Commander determines it is safe to do so.
    The third event is the annual ``Thunder on the Narrows,'' sponsored 
by the Kent Narrows Racing Association, on the waters of Prospect Bay 
at Kent Island, MD. The regulation at 33 CFR 100.501 is effective 
annually for the Thunder on the Narrows marine event. The event 
consists of two days of power boat racing on the waters of Prospect 
Bay, at Kent Island, Maryland. High performance power boats will race 
on a designated course before a large fleet of spectator crafts. 
Therefore, to ensure the safety of participants and support vessels, 33 
CFR 100.501 is enforced for the duration of the event. Currently, under 
the provisions of 33 CFR 100.501, from 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on June 
9, 2012 and from 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on June 10, 2012, vessels may 
not enter the regulated area unless they receive permission from the 
Coast Guard Patrol Commander. Vessel traffic may be allowed to transit 
the regulated area only when the Patrol Commander determines it is safe 
to do so.

Discussion of Rule

    The Coast Guard is temporarily changing the enforcement periods of 
special local regulations for recurring marine events within the Fifth 
Coast Guard District published at 33 CFR 100.501. This temporary 
interim rule only applies to the marine events below.

Severn River, Annapolis, MD

    The Table to Sec.  100.501, event No. (b.)2 establishes the 
enforcement date for the USNA Crew Races. This regulation proposes to 
temporarily change the enforcement date from ``March--last Friday, 
Saturday and Sunday; April and May--every Friday, Saturday and Sunday'' 
to ``March 24, 2012, April 14, 2012 and April 21, 2012.'' The U.S. 
Naval Academy, which is the sponsor for this event, intends to hold 
this event annually; however, they have changed the date of the event 
for 2012 so that it is outside the scope of the existing enforcement 
period. Due to the need for vessel control while participating rowing 
vessels are racing on the Severn River, vessel traffic would be 
temporarily restricted to provide for the safety of participants, 
spectators and transiting vessels.

[[Page 14961]]

Nanticoke River, Chestertown, MD

    The Table to Sec.  100.501, event No. (b.)10 establishes the 
enforcement date for the Bo Bowman Memorial--Sharptown Regatta. This 
regulation proposes to temporarily change the enforcement date from 
``June--last Saturday and Sunday'' to ``July 14 and 15, 2012.'' The 
Virginia/Carolina Racing Association, which is the sponsor for this 
event, intends to hold this event annually; however, they have changed 
the date of the event for 2012 so that it is outside the scope of the 
existing enforcement period. Due to the need for vessel control while 
high performance power boats are racing on the Nanticoke River, vessel 
traffic would be temporarily restricted to provide for the safety of 
participants, spectators and transiting vessels.

Prospect Bay, Kent Island, MD

    The Table to Sec.  100.501, event No. (b.)11 establishes the 
enforcement date for the Thunder on the Narrows. This regulation 
proposes to temporarily change the enforcement date from ``June--3rd, 
4th or last Saturday and Sunday or August--1st Saturday and Sunday'' to 
``June 9 and 10, 2012.'' The Kent Narrows Racing Association, which is 
the sponsor for this event, intends to hold this event annually; 
however, they have changed the date of the event for 2012 so that it is 
outside the scope of the existing enforcement period. Due to the need 
for vessel control while high performance power boats are racing on 
Prospect Bay, vessel traffic would be temporarily restricted to provide 
for the safety of participants, spectators and transiting vessels.

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. Although this rule prevents traffic from 
transiting a portion of certain waterways during specified events, the 
effect of this regulation will not be significant due to the limited 
duration that the regulated areas will be in effect and the extensive 
advance notifications that will be made to the maritime community via 
marine information broadcasts and local notices to mariners, so 
mariners can adjust their plans accordingly. Additionally, this 
rulemaking does not change the permanent regulated areas that have been 
published in 33 CFR 100.501, Table to Sec.  100.501. In some cases, 
vessel traffic may be able to transit the regulated area when the Coast 
Guard Patrol Commander deems it is safe to do so. For the above 
reasons, the Coast Guard does not anticipate any significant economic 
impact.

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 
operate, transit, or anchor in the areas where the marine events are 
being held. This regulation will not have a significant impact on a 
substantial number of small entities because it will be enforced only 
during marine events that have been permitted by the Coast Guard 
Captain of the Port. The Captain of the Port will ensure that small 
entities are able to operate in the areas where events are occurring 
when it is safe to do so. In some cases, vessels will be able to safely 
transit around the regulated area at various times, and, with the 
permission of the Patrol Commander, vessels may transit through the 
regulated area. Before the enforcement period, the Coast Guard will 
issue maritime advisories so mariners can adjust their plans 
accordingly.

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, 
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

[[Page 14962]]

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 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 which do not individually 
or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. 
This rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph 
(34)(h.), of the Instruction. This rule involves implementation of 
regulations within 33 CFR part 100 applicable to organized marine 
events on the navigable waters of the United States that could 
negatively impact the safety of waterway users and shore side 
activities in the event area. The category of water activities includes 
but is not limited to sail boat regattas, boat parades, power boat 
racing, swimming events, crew racing, canoe and sail board racing. 
Under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(h), of the Instruction, an 
environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion 
determination are not required for this rule.
