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

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to update special local regulations 
and permanent safety zones in the Coast Guard Sector Northern New 
England Captain of the Port (COTP) Zone for annual recurring marine 
events. When enforced, these proposed special local regulations and 
safety zones would restrict vessels from portions of water areas during 
certain annually recurring events. The proposed 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 maritime events.

B. Regulatory History and Information

    The two regulatory sections that the Coast Guard proposes to amend 
were originally established in 2011. Specifically, the final rules for 
33 CFR Sec. Sec.  100.120 and 165.171 were published on March 30, 2011 
(76 FR 17530 and 76 FR 17537). These final rules was issued in order to 
reduce administrative overhead, expedite public notification of events, 
and ensure the protection of the maritime public during approximately 
180 marine events in the Sector Northern New England area. Each year 
since these two sections were created, the table in each regulatory 
section has been updated to reflected changes in regular recurring 
events, such as additions or deletions of events or updates to 
pertinent event details. Although the tables have been updated, the 
actual regulations within 33 CFR 100.120 and 165.171 have not changed 
since the original publication in March of 2011. The Coast Guard has 
received no comments from the public since these two sections were 
originally established.

C. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for the proposed rule is 33 U.S.C. 1226, 1231, 
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. 2064; and Department 
of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1, which collectively 
authorize the Coast Guard to establish 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 
Sector Northern New England COTP 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. As mentioned above, the 
Coast Guard has not received public comments or concerns regarding the 
impact to waterway traffic from the Coast Guard's regulations 
associated with these annually recurring events. In the past year, 
events were assessed for their likelihood to recur in subsequent years 
or to discontinue and were added to or deleted from the tables 
accordingly. In additions, minor changes to existing events were made 
to ensure the accuracy of event details.

D. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The Coast Guard proposes to amend 33 CFR 100.120 (Special Local 
Regulations) and 33 CFR 165.171 (Safety Zones). The proposed rule would 
update the list of annual recurring events in the existing regulation 
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. Advanced public notification 
of specific times, dates, regulated areas, and enforcement periods for 
each event will be provided through appropriate means, which may 
include, but are not limited to, the Local Notice to Mariners, 
Broadcast Notice to Mariners, or 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 Notice of Enforcement in the Federal Register.

E. Regulatory Analyses

    The Coast Guard developed this proposed rule after considering 
numerous statutes and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we 
summarize our analyses based on these statutes or executive orders.

1. 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, 
as supplemented by Executive Order 13563, 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.
    We expect the economic impact of this proposed 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 is only modifying an existing regulation to account for new 
information.

2. Impact on 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 
proposed rule will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities.
    This proposed rule would 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 proposed rule would not have a 
significant impact on a substantial number of small entities for all of 
the same reasons discussed in the Regulatory Planning and Review 
section above.
    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.

3. 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. 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 the person listed under FOR 
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 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.

[[Page 77387]]

4. 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).

5. 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 proposed rule under that Order and 
have determined that it does not have implications for federalism.

6. 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.

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

8. Taking of Private Property

    This proposed rule would 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.

9. 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.

10. Protection of Children From Environmental Health Risks

    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.

11. 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.

12. Energy Effects

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

13. Technical Standards

    This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we 
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. 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 that do not individually or cumulatively have a 
significant effect on the human environment.
    A preliminary environmental analysis checklist supporting this 
determination will be available in the docket where indicated under 
ADDRESSES. This proposed rule involves water activities including 
swimming events and fireworks displays. This rule may be categorically 
excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(g) (Safety Zones) and 
(34)(h) (Special Local Regulations) of the Instruction. We seek any 
comments or information that may lead to the discovery of a significant 
environmental impact from this proposed rule.
