Special Local Regulations and Safety Zones; Recurring Marine 
Events and Fireworks Displays and Swim Events Held in the Coast Guard 
Sector Northern New England Captain of the Port Zone

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is adding, deleting, and modifying the special 
local regulations for annual recurring marine events, safety zones for 
firework displays, and swim events in the Coast Guard Sector Northern 
New England Captain of the Port Zone. When enforced, these special 
local regulations and safety zones will restrict vessels from 
transiting regulated areas during certain annually recurring events. 
The special local regulations and safety zones are intended to expedite 
public notification and ensure the protection of the maritime public 
and event participants from the hazards associated with certain marine 
events.

DATES: This rule is effective June 25, 2020.

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    Swim events, fireworks displays, and marine events are held on an 
annual

[[Page 31364]]

recurring basis on the navigable waters within the Coast Guard Sector 
Northern New England Captain of the Port (COTP) Zone. The Coast Guard 
has established special local regulations and safety zones for some of 
these annual recurring events on a case by case basis to ensure the 
protection of the maritime public and event participants from potential 
hazards. In the past, the Coast Guard has not received public comments 
or concerns regarding the impact to waterway traffic from regulations 
associated with these annually recurring events. Events were either 
added or deleted to the table of annual events based on their 
likelihood to recur in subsequent years. Additionally, minor changes to 
existing events such as position, date, or title, were made to ensure 
the accuracy of event details.
    On February 26, 2020 the Coast Guard published a notice of proposed 
rulemaking (NPRM) titled Special Local Regulations and Safety Zones; 
Recurring Marine Events and Fireworks Displays and Swim Events Held in 
the Coast Guard Sector Northern New England Captain of the Port Zone 
(85 FR 11031). There we stated why we issued the NPRM, and invited 
comments on our proposed regulatory action. During the comment period 
that ended on March 27, 2020, we received no comments.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard issues this rulemaking under authority in 46 U.S.C. 
70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The proposed rule updates the 
terminology, definitions, and tables of annual recurring events in the 
existing regulations for the Coast Guard Sector Northern New England 
COTP Zone. The tables provide the event name, sponsor, and type, as 
well as approximate times, dates, and locations of the events. 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 the Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast Notice to 
Mariners, and a Notice of Enforcement published in the Federal Register 
at least 30 days prior to the event date. 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 Local Notice to Mariners and, if time permits, a Notice of 
Enforcement in the Federal Register.

IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule

    As noted above, we received no comments on our NPRM published 
Febuary 26, 2020. There are no changes in the regulatory text of this 
rule from the proposed rule in the NPRM.
    The Coast Guard amends 33 CFR 100.120 ``Special Local Regulations; 
Marine Events Held in the Coast Guard Sector Northern New England 
Captain of the Port Zone'' by replacing language referencing ``Patrol 
Commander'' to ``Designated Representative'' and adding language 
clarifying only event sponsors, designated participants, and official 
patrol vessels will be allowed to enter regulated areas. Spectators and 
other vessels not registered as event participants may not enter the 
safety zones without the permission of the COTP or the Designated 
Representative. Additionally, the Coast Guard amends 33 CFR 100.120 
``Special Local Regulations; Marine Events Held in the Coast Guard 
Sector Northern New England Captain of the Port Zone'' by updating the 
details of two events, deleting two events, and adding two events to 
Table 1 to Sec.  [thinsp]100.120. This rule updates Table 1 to Sec.  
[thinsp]100.120: (1) 8.1 Eggemoggin Reach Regatta regulated area will 
be updated to reflect only the event start location; (2) 8.7 Multiple 
Sclerosis Harborfest Lobster Boat/Tugboat Races location will be 
corrected. The events deleted from Table 1 to Sec.  [thinsp]100.120 
will be: (1) 8.2 Southport Rowgatta Rowing and Paddling Boat Race and 
(2) 7.5 Mayor's Cup Regatta. The two events added to the table are the 
(1) 8.8 Eastport Pirates Festival Invasion of Lubec Lobster Boat Race 
and (2) 6.5 Portland's Tallship Parade of Ships Event.
    The Coast Guard amends 33 CFR 165.171 ``Safety Zones for fireworks 
displays and swim events held in Coast Guard Sector Northern New 
England Captain of the Port Zone'' by adding language clarifying only 
event sponsors, designated participants, and official patrol vessels 
will be allowed to enter regulated areas. Spectators and other vessels 
not registered as event participants may not enter the safety zones 
without the permission of the COTP or the Designated Representative. 
Additionally, the Coast Guard amends 33 CFR 165.171 ``Safety Zones for 
fireworks displays and swim events held in Coast Guard Sector Northern 
New England Captain of the Port Zone'' by updating the details of one 
event and deleting 20 events from Table 1 to Sec.  [thinsp]165.171. 
This rule updates Table 1 to Sec.  [thinsp]165.171: Corrected location 
for 8.2 Islesboro Crossing Swim. Events removed are obsolete events 
which have not been held for the past three years or which the 
sponsor's indicate they have no intention to continue, and events that 
have been determined to ``not present an extra or unusual hazard on the 
waterway.'' The events deleted from Table 1 to Sec.  [thinsp]165.171 
will be: (1) 6.1 Waterfront Days Fireworks; (2) 6.2 LaKermesse 
Fireworks; (3) 7.1 Vinalhaven 4th of July Fireworks; (4) 7.3 The Great 
Race; (5) 7.4 Bangor 4th of July Fireworks; (6) Eastport 4th of July 
Fireworks; (7) 7.8 Ellis Short Sand Park Trustee Fireworks; (8) 7.9 
Hampton Beach 4th of July Fireworks; (9) 7.12 Main Street Heritage Days 
4th of July Fireworks; (10) 7.14 St. Albans Day Fireworks; (11) 7.17 
Shelburne Triathlons; (12) 7.18 St. George Days Fireworks; (13) 7.20 
Richmond Days Fireworks; (14) 7.24 Bucksport Festival and Fireworks; 
(15) 7.26 Paul Coulombe Anniversary Fireworks; (16) 8.1 Westerlund's 
Landing Party Fireworks; (17) 8.2 York Beach Fire Department Fireworks; 
(18) 8.5 Paul Columbe Party Fireworks; (19) 9.2 Eastport Pirate 
Festival Fireworks; (20) 9.4 Eliot Festival Day Fireworks..

V. 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 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 13771 directs agencies to control 
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This rule has not been 
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 
12866. Accordingly, this rule has not been reviewed by the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt 
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size, 
location, duration, and time-of-day of each regulated area. We are not 
adding any new special local regulations, rather we are updating 
existing regulations and removing obsolete events which have not been 
held for the past three years or which the sponsors indicate they have 
no intention to continue. Dates and coordinates have been updated to 
more

[[Page 31365]]

accurately reflect the event. The Coast Guard will issue a Broadcast 
Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16 about the zone, and the 
rule would allow vessels to seek permission to enter the zone.

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 received no comments from the Small Business 
Administration on this rulemaking. 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.
    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 rule would not have a significant economic impact on 
any vessel owner or operator.
    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 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 
call or email the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT 
section.
    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.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will 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 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 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.

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 rule will not result in 
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere 
in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security 
Directive 023-01, Rev. 1, associated implementing instructions, and 
Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), which guide the Coast 
Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined 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 rule involves special 
local regulations for various one-day marine events and safety zones 
for fireworks displays and one day swimming events. Normally such 
actions are categorically excluded from further review under paragraph 
L60 of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, 
Rev. 01. A Memorandum For Record of Environmental Consideration 
supporting this determination is available in the docket where 
indicated under ADDRESSES.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters. 
Protesters are asked to call or email 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.
