RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zones; Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley Annual and Recurring 
Safety Zones Update

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is amending and updating its safety zones 
regulations for annual events that take place in the Coast Guard Sector 
Ohio Valley area. This action is necessary to update the current list 
of recurring safety zones with revisions, additional events, and 
removal of events that no longer take place in Sector Ohio Valley. This 
regulation restricts vessel traffic from the safety zones during the 
events unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley 
or a designated representative.

DATES: This rule is effective May 11, 2018.

U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley (COTP) is amending 33 
CFR 165.801 to update the table of annual fireworks displays and other 
marine-related events in Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley. These events 
include air shows, fireworks displays, and other marine related events 
requiring a limited access area restricting vessel traffic for safety 
purposes.
    On April 3, 2018, the Coast Guard published a notice of proposed 
rulemaking (NPRM) titled Safety Zones; Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley 
Annual and Recurring Safety Zones Update (83 FR 14226). There we stated 
why we issued the NPRM, and invited comments on our proposed regulatory 
action related to those recurring safety zones. During the comment 
period that ended on April 18, 2018, we received eight comments.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause 
exists for making it effective less than 30 days after publication in 
the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date of this rule would be 
impracticable and contrary to the public interest because immediate 
action is necessary to respond to the potential safety hazards 
associated with these marine events.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C. 
1231. Based on the nature of these marine events, large numbers of 
participants and spectators, and event locations, the COTP has 
determined that the events listed in this rule could pose a risk to 
participants or waterways users if the normal vessel traffic were to 
interfere with the events. Possible hazards include risks of injury or 
death from near or actual contact among participant vessels and 
spectators or mariners traversing through the regulated area. This 
purpose of this rule is to ensure the safety of all waterway users, 
including event participants and spectators, during the scheduled 
events.

IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule

    As noted above, we received eight comments on our NPRM published on 
April 3, 2018. Of the eight comments we received, one was unrelated to 
this rulemaking and another was a duplicate. Of the six substantive 
comments, one commenter was in favor of the rule, two were against the 
rule, and the other three expressed confusion as to the times, 
locations, effects, alternative routes, and the purpose of the safety 
zones.
    Of the two commenters not in favor of this rule, one stated 
disagreement with regulatory action generally and one stated that local 
authorities should oversee inland waterways. These comments are outside 
of the scope of this final rule.
    Two commenters expressed confusion over the events' times and 
locations. This rule contains two tables. The first table adds 23 new 
safety zones. The second table amends 31 existing safety zones. Each 
table contains dates and locations for each event. The Coast Guard will 
issue a notice of enforcement for each event, which will contain 
specific times of enforcement of each safety zone. In addition, the 
Captain of the Port or a designated representative will inform the 
public through broadcast notices to mariners of the enforcement period 
for the particular safety zone as well as any changes in the planned 
schedule. Another commenter expressed confusion over the safety zones' 
effects and alternative routes. The effects on environment, Indian 
tribes, and small entities are discussed in the preamble of the rule. 
In addition, the Coast Guard sought public input as to the same as well 
as the effects on the protest activities. As to the alternative routes, 
the rule, Sec.  165.801(d), allows persons and vessels desiring to 
enter into or passage through the zone to request permission to do so 
from the Captain of the Port or a designated representative. Finally, 
one other commenter expressed confusion as to the purpose of the rule 
and suggested that we include that it is to ensure the safety of event 
locations and event participants. The Coast Guard is vested with 
jurisdiction over the navigable waters of the United States and any 
land structures or shore areas immediately adjacent to such waters. It 
does not have the authority over land areas not immediately adjacent to 
the navigable waters on which the events will occur. As such, we cannot 
make the requested change. As to the protection of the event 
participants, the rule does state that the safety zones are necessary 
for the protection of the event participants. However, the sentence 
stating the purpose of the rule inadvertently omitted that its purpose 
is to also ensure the safety of the event participants. We have amended 
the sentence to reflect the purpose.
    There are no changes in the regulatory text of this rule from the 
proposed rule on the NPRM.

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

[[Page 21889]]

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 rule has not been designated as a 
``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866. 
Accordingly, it has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and 
Budget.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size, 
location, and duration of the safety zones. These safety zones are 
limited in size and duration, and are usually positioned away from high 
vessel traffic areas. Moreover, the Coast Guard would issue a Broadcast 
Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16 about the zones, and 
the rule would allow vessels to seek permission to enter the zones.

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 
IV.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. 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 
Order13132.
    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 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. 
Normally such actions are categorically excluded from further review 
under paragraph L60(a) of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 
023-01-001-01, Rev. 01. A Record of Environmental Consideration is 
available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES.

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.
