33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2016-0675]
RIN 1625-AA87

Security Zone; Potomac River and Anacostia River, and Adjacent 
Waters; Washington, DC

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to establish a series of security 
zones in the National Capital Region (NCR) on specified waters of the 
Potomac River and Anacostia River, and adjacent waters during increased 
security events. This action is necessary to prevent terrorist acts and 
incidents immediately before, during, and after events held within the 
NCR, whenever such an event exists, as determined by the Captain of the 
Port Maryland-National Capital Region. This rule prohibits vessels and 
persons from entering the security zone and requires vessels and 
persons in the security zone to depart the security zone, unless 
specifically exempt under the provisions in this rule or granted 
specific permission from the Coast Guard Captain of the Port Maryland-
National Capital Region. The proposed regulations will enhance the 
safety and security of persons and property within the Nation's 
Capital, while minimizing, to the extent possible, the impact on 
commerce and legitimate waterway use.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast 
Guard on or before November 1, 2016.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2016-0675 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for 
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further 
instructions on submitting comments.

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    The Coast Guard has given each Coast Guard COTP the ability to 
implement comprehensive port security regimes designed to safeguard 
human life, vessels, and waterfront facilities while still sustaining 
the flow of commerce. A security zone is a tool available to the Coast 
Guard that may be used to control vessel movements in specified waters, 
which the Coast Guard has determined need additional security measures 
during certain situations. The COTP has made a determination that it is 
necessary to establish a series of security zones within the NCR. The 
purpose of this rulemaking is to enhance public and maritime safety and 
security in order to safeguard life, property, and the environment on 
specified navigable waters of the Potomac River and Anacostia River and 
adjacent waters during increased security events taking place in close 
proximity to navigable waterways within the COTP's Area of 
Responsibility.
    The legal basis for the rule is the Coast Guard's authority to 
establish regulated navigation areas and other limited access areas: 33 
U.S.C. 1231.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    Whenever an event that requires increased security is taking place 
the proposed security zones will help ensure the safety and security of 
persons and property on or near the navigable waters of the United 
States. Accordingly, the COTP Maryland-National Capital Region proposes 
to establish a series of security zones to protect high-ranking United 
States officials, foreign dignitaries, and the public; mitigate 
potential terrorist acts; and enhance public and maritime safety and 
security in order to safeguard life, property, and the environment on 
specified waters of the Potomac River, Anacostia River and adjacent 
waters. The security zones would cover specified navigable waters 
within the NCR. The duration of the zone is intended to ensure the 
safety of vessels and these navigable waters before, during, and after 
the event. No vessel or person would be permitted to enter the security 
zone without obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated 
representative. The COTP Maryland-National Capital Region will notify 
the maritime community, via Broadcast Notice to Mariners (BNM), of the 
location and duration of the security zone as the increased security 
event dictates. The security zone established for a specific increased 
security event will consist of one or more of the security zones 
categorized below.
    Security zone one includes all navigable waters of the Potomac 
River, from shoreline to shoreline, bounded to the north by the Francis 
Scott Key (US-29) Bridge, at mile 113, and bounded to the south by a 
line drawn from the Virginia shoreline at Ronald Reagan Washington 
National Airport, at 38[deg]51'21.3'' N., 077[deg]02'00.0'' W., 
eastward across the Potomac River to the District of Columbia shoreline 
at Hains Point at position 38[deg]51'24.3'' N., 077[deg]01'19.8'' W., 
including the waters of the Boundary Channel, Pentagon Lagoon, 
Georgetown Channel Tidal Basin, and Roaches Run. Events that typically 
require enforcement of the zone include activities associated with the 
U.S. Presidential Inauguration and State funerals for former Presidents 
of the U.S.
    Security zone two includes all navigable waters of the Anacostia 
River, from shoreline to shoreline, bounded to the north by the John 
Philip Sousa (Pennsylvania Avenue) Bridge, at mile 2.9, and bounded to 
the south by a line drawn from the District of Columbia shoreline at 
Hains Point at position 38[deg]51'24.3'' N., 077[deg]01'19.8'' W., 
southward across the Anacostia River to the District of Columbia 
shoreline at Giesboro Point at position 38[deg]50'52.4'' N., 
077[deg]01'10.9'' W., including the waters of the Washington Channel. 
Events that typically require enforcement of the zone include 
activities associated with the U.S. Presidential Inauguration and State 
funerals for former Presidents of the U.S.
    Security zone three includes all navigable waters of the Potomac 
River, from shoreline to shoreline, bounded to the north by a line 
drawn from the

[[Page 60664]]

Virginia shoreline at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, at 
38[deg]51'21.3'' N., 077[deg]02'00.0'' W., eastward across the Potomac 
River to the District of Columbia shoreline at Hains Point at position 
38[deg]51'24.3'' N., 077[deg]01'19.8'' W., thence southward across the 
Anacostia River to the District of Columbia shoreline at Giesboro Point 
at position 38[deg]50'52.4'' N., 077[deg]01'10.9'' W., and bounded to 
the south by the Woodrow Wilson Memorial (I-95/I-495) Bridge, at mile 
103.8. Events that typically require enforcement of the zone include 
activities associated with the U.S. Presidential Inauguration and State 
funerals for former Presidents of the U.S.
    The above zones may also be enforced for unplanned events requiring 
increased security, including but not limited to, presidential 
nominating conventions; international summits and conferences; and 
meetings of international organizations.
    Security zone four, currently described at 33 CFR 165.508, includes 
all navigable waters of the Georgetown Channel of the Potomac River, 75 
yards from the eastern shore measured perpendicularly to the shore, 
between the Long Railroad Bridge (the most eastern bridge of the 5-
span, Fourteenth Street Bridge Complex) to the Theodore Roosevelt 
Memorial Bridge and all waters in between, totally including the waters 
of the Georgetown Channel Tidal Basin. This zone is enforced annually 
from 12:01 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. local time on July 4. There are no 
proposed changes to this zone; it is retained and included in this 
rulemaking.
    Security zone five includes all navigable waters in the Potomac 
River, including the Boundary Channel and Pentagon Lagoon, bounded on 
the west by a line running north to south from points along the 
shoreline at 38[deg]52'50'' N./077[deg]03'25'' W., thence to 
38[deg]52'49'' N./077[deg]03'25'' W.; and bounded on the east by a line 
running from points at 38[deg]53'10'' N./077[deg]03'30'' W., thence 
northeast to 38[deg]53'12'' N./077[deg]03'26'' W., thence southeast to 
38[deg]52'31'' N./077[deg]02'34'' W., and thence southwest to 
38[deg]52'28'' N./077[deg]02'38'' W. This zone will be enforced on 
three days each year: Memorial Day (observed), September 11, and 
November 11. Specifically, the zone will be enforced from 10 a.m. until 
1 p.m. on Memorial Day (observed); from 8 a.m. until 11:59 a.m. on 
September 11; and from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. on November 11.
    Security zone six includes all navigable waters of the Potomac 
River, from shoreline to shoreline, bounded on the north by the Francis 
Scott Key (U.S. Route 29) Bridge at mile 113.0, downstream to and 
bounded on the south by the Woodrow Wilson Memorial (I-95/I-495) 
Bridge, at mile 103.8, including the waters of the Boundary Channel, 
Pentagon Lagoon, Georgetown Channel Tidal Basin, and Roaches Run; and 
all waters of the Anacostia River, from shoreline to shoreline, bounded 
on the north by the John Philip Sousa (Pennsylvania Avenue) Bridge, at 
mile 2.9, downstream to and bounded on the south by its confluence with 
the Potomac River. This zone will be enforced annually for the State of 
the Union Address, starting at 9 a.m. on the day of the State of the 
Union Address through 2 a.m. the following day.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed 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 13563 emphasizes the importance of 
quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing 
rules, and of promoting flexibility. This NPRM has not been designated 
a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866. 
Accordingly, the NPRM has not been reviewed by the Office of Management 
and Budget.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size, 
location, duration and time of year of the security zones. The Coast 
Guard determined that this rulemaking would not be a significant 
regulatory action for the following reasons: Security zones one, two 
and three are expected to be enforced for only a week or two at a time 
and on only a few occasions per year. Additionally, the Coast Guard 
designed the areas for security zones one, two and three to cover only 
a portion of the navigable waterways while still sustaining the flow of 
commerce, and mariners may request permission from the COTP Maryland-
National Capital Region or the designated representative to transit the 
zone. Security zones four and five are expected to be enforced for only 
less than 24 hours at a time and on only a few occasions per year. 
Additionally, the Coast Guard designed the areas for security zones 
four and five to cover only a small portion of the navigable waterways, 
waterway users may transit the Potomac River around the areas, and 
mariners may request permission from the COTP Maryland-National Capital 
Region or the designated representative to transit the zone. Security 
zone six is expected to be enforced for only less than 24 hours at a 
time and on only on one occasion per year when vessel traffic is 
normally low. Additionally, the Coast Guard designed the area for 
security zone six to cover only a portion of the navigable waterways 
while still sustaining the flow of commerce, and mariners may request 
permission from the COTP Maryland-National Capital Region or the 
designated representative to transit the zone. Moreover, the Coast 
Guard would 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 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.
    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 proposed rule would not have a significant economic 
impact on any vessel owner or operator.
    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.
    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. 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. The Coast Guard will

[[Page 60665]]

not retaliate against small entities that question or complain about 
this proposed rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

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

F. 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 (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. This proposed rule involves security 
zones that would prohibit entry on specified waters of the Potomac 
River and Anacostia River, and adjacent waters, during increased 
security events. Normally such actions are categorically excluded from 
further review under paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2-1 of Commandant 
Instruction M16475.lD. A preliminary environmental analysis checklist 
and Categorical Exclusion Determination are available in the docket 
where indicated under ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or information 
that may lead to the discovery of a significant environmental impact 
from this proposed rule.

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.

V. Public Participation and Request for Comments
