On March 22, 2013, the Coast Guard provided the public with notice and an opportunity to comment when it published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) titled, “Special Local Regulations and Safety Zones; Recurring Events in Northern New England,” in the Federal Register. (78 FR 17613). The comment period ended on May 21, 2013, with no comments.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. There is insufficient time to undergo a 30 day delayed effective date and thus it is impracticable. Any delay encountered in this regulation's effective date would also be contrary to public interest since immediate action is needed to provide for the safety of life and property on navigable waters from the hazardous nature of fireworks, high speed power boat races, and large gatherings of swimmers in the waterway.
The legal basis for this temporary rule is 33 U.S.C. 1231, 1233; 46 U.S.C. chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191, 195; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-1, 6.04-6, 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 define regulatory safety zones and regulated areas.
This rulemaking establishes special local regulations for power boat races and marine parades and safety zones for marine events involving fireworks displays and swim events on the navigable waters of the COTP Sector NNE Zone. This rule is necessary to protect waterway users from the dangers inherent to these activities.
This temporary rule establishes special local regulations and safety zones for eighteen events in the COTP Sector NNE Zone. Specific event names, locations, dates and times are listed below in the regulation text.
Because large numbers of spectator vessels are expected to congregate around the location of these events, these regulated areas are needed to protect both spectators and participants from the safety hazards created by them including vessels operating at high speeds and unexpected pyrotechnics detonation and burning debris.
The Coast Guard determined that this rule is not a significant regulatory action for the following reasons: The regulated areas will be of limited duration and cover only a small portion of the navigable waterways. Furthermore, vessels may transit the navigable Start Printed Page 34888waterways outside of the regulated areas. Vessels requiring entry into the regulated areas may be authorized to do so by the COTP or designated representative.
The temporary special local regulations and safety zones will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: the regulated areas will be of limited size and of short duration, and vessels that can safely do so may navigate in all other portions of the waterways except for the areas designated as regulated areas. Additionally, notifications will be made before the effective period by all appropriate means, including but not limited to the Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners well in advance of the events.
