II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    On April 19, 2018, the Coast Guard published a Notice of Proposed 
Rulemaking (NPRM) titled Safety Zones; Annual Events in the Captain of 
the Port Buffalo Zone. There we stated why we issued the NPRM, and 
invited comments on our proposed regulatory action related to this 
amendment to the CFR. During the comment period that ended May 21, 
2018, we received no comments.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C. 
1231. The purpose of this rule is to update the safety zones in 33 CFR 
165.939 to ensure accuracy of times, dates, and dimensions for various 
triggering and marine events that are expected to be conducted within 
the Captain of the Port Buffalo Zone throughout the year. The purpose 
of the rulemaking is also to ensure vessels and persons are protected 
from the specific hazards related to the aforementioned events. These 
specific hazards include obstructions in the waterway that may cause 
marine casualties; collisions among vessels maneuvering at a high speed 
within a channel; the explosive dangers involved in pyrotechnics and 
hazardous cargo; and flaming/falling debris into the water that may 
cause injuries.

IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule

    As noted above, we received no comments on our NPRM published April 
19, 2018. There are no changes in the regulatory text of this rule from 
the proposed rule in the NPRM.
    This rule amends 12 permanent safety zones found within table 
165.939 of 33 CFR 165.939. These 12 amendments involve updating the 
location, size, and/or enforcement times.
    Additionally, this rule adds 12 new safety zones to table 165.939 
within Sec.  165.939 for annually reoccurring

[[Page 25571]]

events in the Captain of the Port Buffalo Zone. These 12 zones were 
approved and published in the Federal Register as temporary safety 
zones in 2017 and were added in order to protect the public from the 
safety hazards previously described. A list of specific changes and 
additions are available in the attachments within this Docket.
    The Captain of the Port Buffalo has determined that the safety 
zones in this rule are necessary to ensure the safety of vessels and 
people during annual marine or triggering events in the Captain of the 
Port Buffalo zone. Although this rule will be effective year-round, the 
safety zones in this rule will be enforced only immediately before, 
during, and after events that pose a hazard to the public and only upon 
notice by the Captain of the Port Buffalo.
    The Captain of the Port Buffalo will notify the public that the 
zones in this rule are or will be enforced by all appropriate means to 
the affected segments of the public, including publication in the 
Federal Register, as practicable, in accordance with 33 CFR 165.7(a). 
Such means of notification may also include, but are not limited to, 
Broadcast Notice to Mariners or Local Notice to Mariners.
    All persons and vessels must comply with the instructions of the 
Coast Guard Captain of the Port Buffalo or his or her designated 
representative. Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within the safety 
zones is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port or his 
or her designated representative. The Captain of the Port or his or her 
designated representative may be contacted via VHF Channel 16.

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 
characteristics of the safety zones. The safety zones created by this 
rule will be relatively small and are designed to minimize their impact 
on navigable waters. Furthermore, the safety zones have been designed 
to allow vessels to transit around them. In addition, the safety zones 
will have built in times to allow vessels to travel through when 
situations allow. Thus, restrictions on vessel movement within each 
particular area are expected to be minimal. Under certain conditions, 
moreover, vessels may still transit through the safety zone when 
permitted by the Captain of the Port.

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 
V.A above, this rule will 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 
contact 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. If 
you believe this rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes, 
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT 
section.

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 
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which 
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969 (42

[[Page 25572]]

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 the 
establishment of recurring annual safety zones. It is categorically 
excluded from further review under paragraph L60(a) of Appendix A, 
Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 01.

G. 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.

    (a) Regulations. (1) In accordance with the general regulations in 
Sec.  165.23 of this part, entry into, transiting, or anchoring within 
this safety zone is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the 
Port Buffalo or his designated on-scene representative.
    (2) These safety zones are closed to all vessel traffic, except as 
may be permitted by the Captain of the Port Buffalo or his designated 
on-scene representative.
    (3) The ``on-scene representative'' of the Captain of the Port 
Buffalo is any Coast Guard commissioned, warrant or petty officer who 
has been designated by the Captain of the Port Buffalo to act on his 
behalf.
    (4) Vessel operators desiring to enter or operate within the safety 
zone must contact the Captain of the Port Buffalo or his on-scene 
representative to obtain permission to do so. The Captain of the Port 
Buffalo or his on-scene representative may be contacted via VHF Channel 
16. Vessel operators given permission to enter or operate in the safety 
zone must comply with all directions given to them by the Captain of 
the Port Buffalo, or his on-scene representative.
    (5) The enforcement dates and times for each of the safety zones 
listed in Table 165.939 are subject to change, but the duration of 
enforcement would remain the same or nearly the same total number of 
hours as stated in the table. In the event of a change, the Captain of 
the Port Buffalo will provide notice to the public by publishing a 
Notice of Enforcement in the Federal Register, as well as, issuing a 
Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
    (b) Definitions. The following definitions apply to this section:
    (1) Designated representative means any Coast Guard commissioned, 
warrant, or petty officers designated by the Captain of the Port 
Buffalo to monitor a safety zone, permit entry into a safety zone, give 
legally enforceable orders to persons or vessels within a safety zone, 
and take other actions authorized by the Captain of the Port Buffalo.

    (d) Exemption. Public vessels, as defined in paragraph (b) of this 
section, are exempt from the requirements in this section.
    (e) Waiver. For any vessel, the Captain of the Port Buffalo or his

circumstances are such that application of this section is unnecessary 
or impractical for the purposes of safety or security.
