Safety Zones; Annual Firework Displays Within the Captain of the 
Port, Puget Sound Area of Responsibility

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to establish multiple permanent 
safety zones to ensure public safety during annual firework displays at 
various locations the Captain of the Port, Puget Sound Area of 
Responsibility (AOR). When these safety zones are activated, and thus 
subject to enforcement, this rule would limit the movement of vessels 
within the established firework display areas. This action is necessary 
to prevent injury and to protect life and property of the maritime 
public from the hazards associated with firework displays. Entry into, 
transit through, mooring, or anchoring within these zones during times 
of enforcement is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the 
Port, Puget Sound or Designated Representative.

Background and Purpose

    The U.S. Coast Guard is proposing to establish multiple permanent 
safety zones to ensure public safety during annual firework shows 
occurring within the Captain of the Port, Puget Sound, WA, AOR. These 
events may result in a number of vessels congregating near fireworks 
launching barges and sites. These safety zones are necessary to protect 
watercraft and their occupants from the hazards associated with 
fireworks displays. The Captain of the Port, Puget Sound, may be 
assisted by other Federal, State and local agencies in the enforcement 
of this safety zone.
    The Coast Guard typically receives numerous applications in these 
geographic areas for firework displays. Currently, temporary safety 
zones are established on an emergency basis for each individual display 
thereby limiting opportunity for public comment. Establishing permanent 
safety zones through notice and comment rulemaking provides the public 
the opportunity to comment on safety zone locations, size and length of 
time each zone will be enforced. Additionally, this proposed rule 
includes a variety of locations and date ranges to allow for speedy and 
safe activation of permanent safety zones. Firework displays occur in 
these locations and on these dates with regularity. The establishment 
of multiple permanent safety zones provides enhanced public safety 
measures by reducing the number of emergency safety zones needed for 
firework displays. Notification of the specific dates and time for 
activation of safety zones will be available to the maritime public.
    Each year organizations sponsor firework displays in the same 
general location and time period. Each event uses a barge, a tug and a 
barge, or an on-shore site near the shoreline as the fireworks launch 
platform. A safety zone is used to control vessel movement within a 
specified distance surrounding the launch platforms to ensure the 
safety of persons and property. An on-scene patrol commander may allow 
persons within the safety zone if conditions permit.
    The Captain of the Port, Puget Sound, will give notice of the 
enforcement of each safety zone by all appropriate means to provide the 
widest publicity among the affected segments of the public. This will 
include publication in the Local Notice to Mariners and Marine 
Information Broadcasts. The public will also be notified about many of 
these firework displays by local newspapers, radio and television 
stations. These various methods of notification will facilitate 
informing mariners so they may adjust their plans accordingly.
    Firework barges or launch sites on land used in locations stated in 
this proposed rule shall display a sign. The sign will be affixed to 
the port and starboard side of the barge or mounted on a post 3 feet 
above ground level when on land and in close proximity to the shoreline 
facing the water labeled ``FIREWORKS--DANGER--STAY AWAY''. This will 
provide on scene notice that the safety zone is, or will, be enforced 
on that day. This notice will consist of a diamond shaped sign, 4 foot 
by 4 foot, with a 3 inch orange retro-reflective border. The word 
``DANGER'' shall be 10 inch black block letters centered on the sign 
with the words ``FIREWORKS'' and ``STAY AWAY'' in 6 inch black block 
letters placed above and below the word ``DANGER'' respectively on a 
white background. There will also be an on-scene patrol vessel present 
to enforce the safety zone 30 minutes prior to the start and 30 minutes 
after the conclusion of the fireworks display.
    The enforcement period for the proposed safety zones are from 5:30 
p.m. until 1 a.m. local time. However, vessels may enter, remain in, or 
transit through these safety zones during this timeframe if authorized 
by the Captain of the Port or designated on-scene patrol commander.
    This proposed rule is necessary to protect the safety of life and 
property on navigable waters during these firework events and provide 
the marine community information on safety zone locations, size and 
length of time the zones will be active.

Discussion of Proposed Rule

    This proposed rule will create permanent safety zones on the 
waterways of Puget Sound, WA to assist in minimizing the inherent 
dangers associated with firework displays. These safety zones will 
extend 450 yards from their launch site. This zone size allows for the 
use of up to a 16'' mortar shell in annual firework displays. However, 
safety zones will only be enforced for the appropriate size for the 
largest mortar shell used. These zones are nominal in size and are 
typically positioned in areas which allow for transit around the zone 
thus the safety zones have an inconsequential impact on the majority of 
waterway users. These zones are also short in duration and allow 
waterway users to enter or

[[Page 8568]]

transit through the zone when deemed safe by the on-scene patrol 
commander. The COTP, through this action, intends to promote the safety 
of personnel, vessels, and facilities in the area.

Regulatory Analyses

    We 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.

Regulatory Planning and Review

    This proposed 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. This proposed rule is not 
a significant regulatory action because the period of enforcement and 
size of these safety zones is minimal.

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 temporary rule will affect the following entities, some of 
which may be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels 
intending to transit a portion of the affected waterways while this 
rule is enforced. These safety zones will not have significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities for the following 
reasons. This temporary rule will be in effect for minimal times when 
vessel traffic volume is low and are limited in size. If safe to do so, 
traffic will be allowed to pass through the zone with the permission of 
the Captain of the Port or Designated Representative.
    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 process. 
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 Ensign Ashley 
Wanzer via the contact information listed under for further information 
in this docket. 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.

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 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 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 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.

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

[[Page 8569]]

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 is one of a 
category of actions which do not individually or cumulatively have a 
significant effect on the human environment. A preliminary 
environmental analysis checklist supporting this determination is 
available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. This proposed 
rule involves multiple discharging of various aerial shelled fireworks 
within the COTP Puget Sound AOR. Each event will individually comply 
with NEPA requirements on an annual basis as ensured through the 
requirement of an annual marine event permit. We seek any comments or 
information that may lead to the discovery of a significant 
environmental impact from this proposed rule.

    (2) [Reserved]
    (b) Special Requirements. Firework barges or launch sites on land 
used in locations stated in this proposed rule shall display a sign. 
The sign will be affixed to the port and starboard side of the barge or 
mounted on a post 3 feet above ground level when on land and in close 
proximity to the shoreline facing the water labeled ``FIREWORKS--
DANGER--STAY AWAY''. This will provide on scene notice that the safety 
zone is, or will, be enforced on that day. This notice will consist of 
a diamond shaped sign, 4 foot by 4 foot, with a 3

[[Page 8570]]

inch orange retro-reflective border. The word ``DANGER' shall be 10 
inch black block letters centered on the sign with the words 
``FIREWORKS'' and ``STAY AWAY'' in 6 inch black block letters placed 
above and below the word ``DANGER'' respectively on a white background. 
There will also be an on-scene patrol vessel present to enforce the 
safety zone 30 minutes prior to the start and 30 minutes after the 
conclusion of the fireworks display.
    (c) Notice of Enforcement. These safety zones will be activated and 
thus subject to enforcement, under the following conditions: The Coast 
Guard must receive and approve a marine event permit for each firework 
display and then the Captain of the Port will cause notice of the 
enforcement of these safety zones to be made by all appropriate means 
to provide notice to the affected segments of the public as 
practicable, in accordance with 33 CFR 165.7(a). The Captain of the 
Port will issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners and Local Notice to 
Mariners notifying the public of activation and suspension of 
enforcement of these safety zones. Additionally, an on-scene Patrol 
Commander will ensure enforcement of this safety zone by limiting the 
transit of non-participating vessels in the designated areas described 
above.
    (d) Regulations. In accordance with the general regulations in 33 
CFR Part 165, Subpart C, no vessel may enter, transit, moor, or anchor 
within this safety zone, except for vessels authorized by the Captain 
of the Port or Designated Representative.
    (e) Authorization. All vessel operators who desire to enter the 
safety zone must obtain permission from the Captain of the Port or 
Designated Representative by contacting either the on-scene patrol 
craft on VHF Ch 13 or Ch 16 or the Coast Guard Sector Seattle Joint
