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

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is updating 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 will restrict vessels from portions 
of water areas during these annual recurring events. The revised 
special local regulations and safety zones will 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.

DATES: This rule is effective May 21, 2012.
    This rule will be enforced during dates and times specified in the 
Tables to Sec. Sec.  100.120 and 165.171.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    On Tuesday, December 27, 2011, the Coast Guard published a notice 
of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) entitled ``Special Local Regulations and 
Safety Zones; Recurring Events in Northern New England'' in the Federal 
Register (Vol. 76 No. 248). We received no comments or requests for a 
public meeting on the proposed rule.

Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for this rule is the Port and Waterways Safety Act, 
33 U.S.C. 1226 and 1231, 33 U.S.C. 1233; 46 U.S.C. Chapter 701, 3306, 
3703; 50 U.S.C. 191, 195; 33 CFR 1.05-1, and 160.5; Public Law 107-295, 
116 Stat.

[[Page 23602]]

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.
    This rule consistently apprises the public in a timely manner 
through permanent publication in Title 33 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations. The Tables in this regulation list each annual recurring 
event requiring a regulated area as administered by the Coast Guard.
    By establishing a permanent regulation containing these events, the 
Coast Guard eliminates the need to establish temporary rules for events 
that occur on an annual basis thereby, limiting the costs associated 
with cumulative regulations.
    This rulemaking will remove, add, and consolidate regulations that 
better meet the Coast Guard's intended purpose of ensuring safety 
during these events.

Background

    The Coast Guard is amending 33 CFR 100.120 (Special Local 
Regulations) and 33 CFR 165.171 (Safety Zones).
    The rule applies to the annual recurring events listed in the 
attached Tables in the Coast Guard COTP Northern New England Zone. The 
Tables provide the event name, sponsor, and type, as well as 
approximate dates and locations of the events. The specific times, 
dates, regulated areas, and enforcement period for each event will be 
provided through the Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast Notice to 
Mariners or through a Notice of Enforcement published in the Federal 
Register.
    The particular size of the safety zones established for each event 
will be reevaluated on an annual basis in accordance with Navigational 
and Vessel Inspection Circular (NVIC) 07-02, Marine Safety at Firework 
Displays, the National Fire Protection Association Standard 1123, Code 
for Fireworks Displays (100-foot distance per inch of diameter of the 
fireworks mortars), and other pertinent regulations and publications.
    This regulation prevents vessels from transiting areas specifically 
designated as special local regulations or safety zones during the 
periods of enforcement to ensure the protection of the maritime public 
and event participants from the hazards associated with the listed 
annual recurring events. Only event sponsors, designated participants, 
and official patrol vessels are allowed to enter regulated areas. 
Spectators and other vessels not registered as event participants may 
not enter the regulated areas without the permission of the COTP or the 
designated representative.

Discussion of Comments

    The Coast Guard did not receive any comments in response to the 
NPRM published in the Federal Register (Vol. 76, No. 248) on Tuesday, 
December 27, 2011. The Coast Guard made changes to the regulatory text 
in the final rule with regards to the date section for each event. This 
change was made so as not to give the impression that the Coast Guard 
is requiring mariners to check a Local Notice of Mariners for the date 
of each event. The Coast Guard will now publish a Notice of Enforcement 
of the event date in the Federal Register to inform the public of the 
exact date.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this 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, 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 Executive Order 12866 or 
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and 
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders.
    We expect the economic impact of this 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 has 
previously promulgated safety zones or special local regulations in 
accordance with 33 CFR Parts 100 and 165 for approximately 85% of the 
event areas contained within this regulation and has not received 
notice of any negative impact caused by any of the safety zones or 
special local regulations. By establishing a permanent regulation 
containing all of these events, the Coast Guard will eliminate the need 
to establish individual temporary rules for each separate event that 
occurs on an annual basis, thereby limiting the cost of cumulative 
regulations.
    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 
regulated areas. Notifications will also be made to the local maritime 
community through the Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to 
Mariners well in advance of the events. If the event does not have a 
date listed, then the exact dates and times of the enforcement period 
will be announced through a Notice of Enforcement in the Federal 
Register. No new or additional restrictions will be imposed on vessel 
traffic.

Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 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 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 
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 rule will 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 regulated 
areas; the Coast Guard has promulgated safety zones or special local 
regulations in accordance with 33 CFR Parts 100 and 165 for 
approximately 85% of the event areas in the past and has not received 
notice of any negative impact caused by any of the safety zones or 
special local regulations; and notifications will be made to the local 
maritime community through the Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast 
Notice

[[Page 23603]]

to Mariners well in advance of the events. If the event does not have a 
date listed, then exact dates and times of the enforcement period will 
be announced through a Notice of Enforcement in the Federal Register. 
No new or additional restrictions will be imposed on vessel traffic.
    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 rule so that they can better evaluate 
its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. If the rule 
affects 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 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 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 determined 
that this rule 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 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 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

    This action is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive 
Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect 
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

Technical Standards

    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 that do not individually or 
cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This 
rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraphs (34)(g) 
and (34)(h) of the Instruction since it involves establishment of 
safety zones for marine related fireworks events and special local 
regulations for regattas, respectively. An environmental analysis 
checklist and a categorical exclusion determination are available in 
the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES.

be enforced for the duration of each event, on or about the dates 
indicated in the Table to Sec.  165.171. Mariners should consult their 
Local Notice to Mariners to remain apprised of the specific calendar 
date upon which the listed event falls for each calendar year and other 
specific information concerning the event. First Coast Guard District 
Local Notice to Mariners can be found at: http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/. 
The Sector Northern New England Marine Events schedule can also be 
viewed electronically at www.homeport.uscg.mil.

[[Page 23609]]

    Note to introductory text of Sec.  165.171: Although listed in the 
Code of Federal Regulations, sponsors of events listed in the Table to 
Sec.  165.171 shall submit an application each year in accordance with 
33 CFR 100.15.
    (a) The Coast Guard may patrol each event area under the direction 
of a designated Coast Guard Patrol Commander. The Patrol Commander may 
be contacted on Channel 16 VHF-FM (156.8 MHz) by the call sign 
``PATCOM.'' The ``official patrol vessels'' may consist of any Coast 
Guard, Coast Guard Auxiliary, state, or local law enforcement vessels 
assigned or approved by the Captain of the Port, Sector Northern New 
England.
    (b) Vessels may not transit the regulated areas without Patrol 
Commander approval. Vessels permitted to transit must operate at a no 
wake speed, in a manner which will not endanger participants or other 
crafts in the event.
    (c) Spectators or other vessels shall not anchor, block, loiter, or 
impede the movement of event participants or official patrol vessels in 
the regulated areas during the effective dates and times, or dates and 
times as modified through the Local Notice to Mariners, unless 
authorized by an official patrol vessel.
    (d) The Patrol Commander may control the movement of all vessels in 
the regulated area. When hailed or signaled by an official patrol 
vessel, a vessel shall come to an immediate stop and comply with the 
lawful directions issued. Failure to comply with a lawful direction may 
result in expulsion from the area, citation for failure to comply, or 
both.
    (e) The Patrol Commander may delay or terminate any event in this 
subpart at any time to assure safety. Such action may be justified as a 
result of weather, traffic density, spectator operation or participant 
behavior.
    (f) For all swim events listed, vessels not associated with the 
event shall maintain a separation zone of 200 feet from participating 
swimmers.
    (g) For all fireworks displays listed below, the regulated area is 
that area of navigable waters within a 350 yard radius of the launch 
platform or launch site for each fireworks display.
    (h) The specific calendar date upon which the listed event falls 
will be published in the Federal Register.
