        Regulatory History

        A notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) was published in the Federal Register on May 10, 2002 (67 FR 31868), entitled “Salvage and Marine Firefighting Requirements; Vessel Response Plans for Oil.” Subsequent to that publication, the Coast Guard published a notice of public meeting in the Federal Register on June 12, 2002 (67 FR 40254).
        In response to the NPRM, the Coast Guard received requests to extend the comment period, which would provide the public with additional time to submit their comments. Independent of these requests, the Coast Guard determined that an additional public meeting was necessary in order to allow for greater public involvement. We are extending the comment period to accommodate the date of this fourth meeting, and to provide additional time as requested in response to the NPRM.

        Please do not resubmit comments that have already been submitted to this docket. The NPRM and comments already received may be viewed at http://dms.dot.gov.

        Background and Purpose
        In the NPRM, we proposed to revise the vessel response plan salvage and marine firefighting requirements for tank vessels transporting oil. The revisions would clarify the salvage and marine firefighting services that must be identified in vessel response plans. The proposed changes would insure that the appropriate salvage and marine firefighting resources are identified and available for responding to incidents up to, and including, the worst-case scenario. The proposed rulemaking would also set new response time requirements for each of the required salvage and marine firefighting services.
        Public Meeting
        The Coast Guard will hold an additional public meeting regarding this proposed rulemaking on the following date and at the following location:
        Louisville, KY, September 26, 2002, from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., at The Galt House Hotel (West Tower), Court Room (2nd Floor), 140 North Fourth Avenue, Louisville, KY, 40202.
        The meeting may conclude before the allotted time if all matters of discussion have been addressed.
        A summary of comments made and a list of attendees will be available on the docket after the meeting concludes.

          Dated: August 2, 2002.
          Joseph J. Angelo,
          Director of Standards, Marine Safety, Security & Environmental Protection.

        SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
        Background
        In the 2015 annual management measures for ocean salmon fisheries (80 FR 25611, May 5, 2015), NMFS announced the commercial and recreational fisheries in the area from the U.S./Canada border to the U.S./Mexico border, beginning May 1, 2015, and 2016 salmon fisheries opening earlier than May 1, 2016. NMFS is authorized to implement inseason management actions to modify fishing seasons and quotas as necessary to provide fishing opportunity while meeting management objectives for the affected species (50 CFR 660.409). Inseason actions in the salmon fishery may be taken directly by NMFS (50 CFR 660.409(a)—Fixed inseason management provisions) or upon consultation with the Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) and the appropriate State Directors (50 CFR 660.409(b)—Flexible inseason management provisions). The state management agencies that participated in the consultations described in this document were: California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW).
        Management of the salmon fisheries is generally divided into two geographic areas: north of Cape Falcon (U.S./Canada border to Cape Falcon, OR) and south of Cape Falcon (Cape Falcon, OR, to the U.S./Mexico border). The inseason actions reported in this document affected fisheries south of Cape Falcon. Within the south of Cape Falcon area, the Klamath Management Zone (KMZ) extends from Humbug Mountain, OR, to Humboldt South Jetty, CA, and is divided at the Oregon/California border into the Oregon KMZ to the north and California KMZ to the south. All times mentioned refer to Pacific daylight time.
        Inseason Actions
        Inseason Action #1

          Description of action: Inseason action #1 modified the commercial salmon fishery from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain, previously scheduled to open March 15, 2016, to remain closed through March 31, 2016.

          Effective dates: Inseason action #1 took effect on March 15, 2016, and remained in effect until superseded by inseason action #4 on April 1, 2016.

          Reason and authorization for the action: The purpose of this action was to conserve fishery impacts on the Klamath River fall Chinook stock (KRFC). The Council's Salmon Technical Team (STT) presented stock abundance forecasts for 2016. On the basis of these forecasts, the Regional Administrator (RA) determined that fisheries south of Cape Falcon will be constrained in 2016 to meet conservation objectives specified in the Pacific Coast Salmon Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for KRFC, as well as ESA consultation standards for California coastal Chinook for which KRFC is used as a proxy. Inseason action to modify quotas and/or fishing seasons is authorized by 50 CFR 660.409(b)(1)(i).

          Consultation date and participants: Consultation on inseason action #1 occurred on March 10, 2016. Participants in this consultation were staff from NMFS, CDFW, and ODFW. Council staff was unavailable to participate in the consultation, but was advised of the RA's decision after the consultation concluded.
        Inseason Action #2

          Description of action: Inseason action #2 modified the commercial salmon fishery from Humbug Mountain to the Oregon/California Border (Oregon KMZ), previously scheduled to open March 15, 2016, to remain closed through March 31, 2016.

          Effective dates: Inseason action #2 took effect on March 15, 2016, and remained in effect until superseded by inseason action #4 on April 1, 2016.

          Reason and authorization for the action: The purpose of this action was to conserve fishery impacts on the KRFC. The STT presented stock abundance forecasts for 2016. On the basis of these forecasts, the RA determined that fisheries south of Cape Falcon will be constrained in 2016 to meet conservation objectives specified in the FMP for KRFC, as well as ESA consultation standards for California coastal Chinook for which KRFC is used as a proxy. Inseason action to modify quotas and/or fishing seasons is authorized by 50 CFR 660.409(b)(1)(i).

          Consultation date and participants: Consultation on inseason action #2 occurred on March 10, 2016. Participants in this consultation were staff from NMFS, CDFW, and ODFW. Council staff was unavailable to participate in the consultation, but was advised of the RA's decision after the consultation concluded.
        Inseason Action #3

          Description of action: Inseason action #3 cancelled the commercial salmon fishery from Horse Mountain, CA to Point Arena, CA (Fort Bragg management area), previously scheduled to open April 16-30.

          Effective dates: Inseason action #3 took effect on April 16, 2016, and remained in effect through April 30, 2016.

          Reason and authorization for the action: The purpose of this action was to conserve fishery impacts on the KRFC. The STT presented stock abundance forecasts for 2016. On the basis of these forecasts, the RA determined that fisheries south of Cape Falcon will be constrained in 2016 to meet conservation objectives specified in the FMP for KRFC, as well as ESA consultation standards for California coastal Chinook for which KRFC is used as a proxy. Inseason action to modify quotas and/or fishing seasons is authorized by 50 CFR 660.409(b)(1)(i).

          Consultation date and participants: Consultation on inseason action #3 occurred on March 10, 2016. Participants in this consultation were staff from NMFS, CDFW, and ODFW. Council staff was unavailable to participate in the consultation, but was advised of the RA's decision after the consultation concluded.
        Inseason Action #4

          Description of action: Inseason action #4 modified the commercial salmon fishery from Cape Falcon, OR, to Humbug Mountain, OR, to remain closed April 1-7, 2016, and open April 8-30, 2016. Seven days per week. All salmon except coho. Chinook minimum size limit of 28 inches total length. All vessels fishing in the area must land their fish in the state of Oregon. Gear restrictions same as in 2015.

          Effective dates: Inseason action #4 superseded inseason action #1 on April 1, 2016, and remained in effect through April 30, 2016.

          Reason and authorization for the action: The purpose of this action was to conserve fishery impacts on KRFC while allowing access to more abundant stocks. Inseason action to modify quotas and/or fishing seasons is authorized by 50 CFR 660.409(b)(1)(i).

          Consultation date and participants: Consultation on inseason action #4 occurred on March 13, 2016. Participants in this consultation were staff from NMFS, CDFW, and ODFW. Council staff was unavailable to participate in the consultation, but was advised of the RA's decision after the consultation concluded.
        Inseason Action #5

          Description of action: Inseason action #5 modified the commercial salmon fishery from Humbug Mountain, OR, to the Oregon/California Border (Oregon KMZ), to remain closed April 1-7, 2016, and open April 8-30, 2016. Seven days per week. All salmon except coho. Chinook minimum size limit of 28 inches total length. All vessels fishing in the area must land their fish in the state of Oregon. Gear restrictions same as in 2015.

          Effective dates: Inseason action #5 superseded inseason action #2 on April 1, 2016, and remained in effect through April 30, 2016.

          Reason and authorization for the action: The purpose of this action was to conserve fishery impacts on KRFC while allowing access to more abundant stocks. Inseason action to modify quotas and/or fishing seasons is authorized by 50 CFR 660.409(b)(1)(i).

          Consultation date and participants: Consultation on inseason action #5 occurred on March 13, 2016. Participants in this consultation were staff from NMFS, CDFW, and ODFW. Council staff was unavailable to participate in the consultation, but was advised of the RA's decision after the consultation concluded.
        All other restrictions and regulations remain in effect as announced for the 2015 ocean salmon fisheries and 2016 salmon fisheries opening prior to May 1, 2016 (80 FR 25611, May 5, 2015) and as modified by prior inseason actions.
        The RA determined that the best available information indicated that Chinook salmon abundance forecasts and expected fishery effort supported the above inseason actions recommended by the states of Oregon and California. The states manage the fisheries in state waters adjacent to the areas of the U.S. exclusive economic zone in accordance with these Federal actions. As provided by the inseason notice procedures of 50 CFR 660.411, actual notice of the described regulatory actions was given, prior to the time the action was effective, by telephone hotline numbers 206-526-6667 and 800-662-9825, and by U.S. Coast Guard Notice to Mariners broadcasts on Channel 16 VHF-FM and 2182 kHz.
        Classification
        The Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, NOAA (AA), finds that good cause exists for this notification to be issued without affording prior notice and opportunity for public comment under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) because such notification would be impracticable. As previously noted, actual notice of the regulatory actions was provided to fishers through telephone hotline and radio notification. These actions comply with the requirements of the annual management measures for ocean salmon fisheries (80 FR 25611, May 5, 2015), the FMP, and regulations implementing the FMP, 50 CFR 660.409 and 660.411. Prior notice and opportunity for public comment was impracticable because NMFS and the state agencies had insufficient time to provide for prior notice and the opportunity for public comment between the time Chinook salmon catch and effort projections were developed and fisheries impacts were calculated, and the time the fishery modifications had to be implemented in order to ensure that fisheries are managed based on the best available scientific information, ensuring that conservation objectives and ESA consultation standards are not exceeded. The AA also finds good cause to waive the 30-day delay in effectiveness required under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), as a delay in effectiveness of these actions would allow fishing at levels inconsistent with the goals of the FMP and the current management measures.
        These actions are authorized by 50 CFR 660.409 and 660.411 and are exempt from review under Executive Order 12866.

          16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.

        Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; 2006 Consolidated Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan; Amendment 7; Reopening of Comment Period

          AGENCY:
          National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce.

          ACTION:
          Proposed rule; Reopening of comment period.

          SUMMARY:
          On August 21, 2013, NMFS published the proposed rule for Draft Amendment 7 to the 2006 Consolidated Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Fishery Management Plan (FMP) to control bluefin incidental catch (landings and dead discards) in the pelagic longline fishery, enhance reporting in all categories, and ensure U.S. compliance with the ICCAT-recommended quota. As described in the proposed rule, the proposed measures include Allocation measures, Area-Based measures, Bluefin Quota Controls, Enhanced Reporting measures, and other measures that modify rules with respect to how the various quota categories utilize quota. In the proposed rule, NMFS announced the end of the comment period as October 23, 2013, which would allow an approximately 60-day comment period. On September 18, 2013, NMFS extended the comment period through December 10, 2013, in order to provide additional opportunities for the public and other interested parties to comment on the proposed rule, and to provide adequate time for constituents to consider potential changes to the regulatory environment resulting from any new recommendations by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas at its November 2013 meeting. However, due to the government shutdown and NMFS' inability to respond to constituents on this complex rule during that time frame and based on the comments received to date requesting an extension due to the complexity and interplay of the measures covered in the DEIS, NMFS is reopening the comment period for this action until January 10, 2014, to provide additional opportunity for informed public comment.

          DATES:
          The deadline for comments on the proposed rule published at 78 FR 52032 has been reopened from December 10, 2013 to January 10, 2014.

          ADDRESSES:
          You may submit comments on the proposed rule, as published on August 21, 2013 (78 FR 52032), identified by “NOAA-NMFS-2013-0101,” by any of the following methods:

        SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

        The North Atlantic tuna fisheries are managed under the dual authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) and the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act (ATCA). Under the Magnuson-Stevens Act, NMFS must manage fisheries to maintain optimum yield on a continuing basis while preventing overfishing. ATCA authorizes the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) to promulgate regulations, as may be necessary and appropriate to carry out recommendations of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT). The authority to issue regulations under the Magnuson-Stevens Act and ATCA has been delegated from the Secretary to the Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, NMFS. Management of these species is described in the 2006 Consolidated HMS FMP, which is implemented by regulations at 50 CFR part 635. Copies of the 2006 Consolidated HMS FMP and previous amendments are available from the Highly Migratory Species Management Division Web page at http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/sfa/hms/FMP/AM7.htm or from NMFS on request (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT).
        NMFS is amending the 2006 Consolidated HMS FMP to address bluefin tuna (BFT) management due to recent trends and characteristics of the bluefin fishery (78 FR 52032). This action is necessary to meet domestic management objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Management Act including preventing overfishing, achieving optimum yield, and minimizing bycatch to the extent practicable, as well as the objectives of the ATCA and obligations pursuant to binding recommendations of ICCAT. NMFS takes these actions to reduce bluefin dead discards and account for dead discards in all categories; optimize fishing opportunities in all categories; enhance reporting and monitoring; and adjust other aspects of the 2006 Consolidated HMS FMP as necessary. As described in the proposed rule, the proposed management measures include: (1) Allocation measures that would make modifications to how the U.S. bluefin quota is allocated among the quota categories; (2) area-based measures that would implement restrictions on the use of pelagic longline gear in various time and area combinations, modify gear restrictions, or provide conditional access to current pelagic longline closed areas; (3) bluefin Quota Controls that would strictly limit the total catch (landings and dead discards) of bluefin in the Longline category using different strategies; (4) enhanced reporting measures that would implement a variety of new bluefin reporting requirements; and (5) other measures that would make modifications to the rules that control how the various quota categories utilize quota, and implement a northern albacore tuna quota.
        Public Comment Reopening
        In the proposed rule, NMFS announced the end of the comment period as October 23, 2013, which allowed an approximate 60-day comment period. On September 18, 2013 (78 FR 57340) NMFS extended the comment period through December 10, 2013, to provide constituents additional time to consider the proposed rule in light of any new recommendations by International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas at the November 2013 meeting. However, due to the government shut down and NMFS' inability to respond to constituents on this complex rule during that time frame and based on the comments received to date requesting an extension due to the complexity and interplay of the measures covered in the DEIS, NMFS is reopening the comment period for this action until January 10, 2014, to provide additional opportunity for informed public comment.
        These comments will assist NMFS in determining final management measures to conserve and manage the BFT resource and fisheries, consistent with the Magnuson-Stevens Act, ATCA, and the 2006 Consolidated HMS FMP.

        Safety Zones; Annual Events Requiring Safety Zones in the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan Zone

          AGENCY:
          Coast Guard, DHS.

          ACTION:
          Notice of proposed rulemaking.

          SUMMARY:
          The Coast Guard is proposing to amend the rules that regulate vessel traffic and control navigation on portions of waterways in the Lake Michigan Captain of the Port Zone during events that will introduce safety concerns to life and property on the navigable waters of the United States. This proposed rulemaking will reorganize the table listing these safety zones into four separate tables organized by the State in which the safety zone occurs, make minor formatting changes for consistency, update the dates listed for some events, consolidate one safety zone, and remove six safety zones that are no longer necessary. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.

          DATES:

        II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis
        Recurring events are held on a regular basis on the navigable waters of the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan Zone (COTP) . In the past, the Coast Guard would establish safety zones for these events due to safety conerns specific to each event, primarily fireworks or localized community events which do not require a Coast Guard issued permit and are not subject to the special local regulations of 33 CFR 100. The COTP has determined that potential hazards associated with the events exist, and these safety zones have been established to protect safety of life and property for the maritime public and event participants from the hazards associated with these events. In the past, the Coast Guard has not received public comments or concerns regarding impacts to waterway traffic as a result of these regularly recurring safety zones.
        This proposed rulemaking would provide consistency to notify the public in a timely manner through permanent publication in Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The table in this proposed rule would list each regularly recurring safety zone, as administered by the Coast Guard and enforced by COTP Lake Michigan.
        By consolidating two regulations into a single regulation and making the proposed formatting updates, the Coast Guard will improve the accuracy of this information, make the regulations easier to use, and reduce the administrative burden to manage multiple regulations. The Coast Guard is proposing this rulemaking under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231).
        III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
        The COTP Lake Michigan is proposing to reorganize the one table listing these safety zones into four separate tables organized by the State in which the safety zone occurs, make minor formatting changes for consistency, update the dates listed for some events, consolidate two regulations into a single regulation, and remove six safety zones. In this rulemaking, the Coast Guard proposes to remove § 165.935 and revise § 165.929 to consolidate the regulation contained § 165.935 into Table 4 of § 165.929. Aditionally, six existing events listed as safety zones in 33 CFR 165.929, specifically those events listed in §§ Table 165.929(e)(30), Table 165.929(e)(51), Table 165.929(f)(17), Table 165.929(f)(18), Table 165.929(g)(2), and Table 165.929(g)(4), would be moved to § 100.903 through a separate rulemaking (Docket Number USCG-2020-0124). Furthermore, the sponsors of several events listed have changed the dates that they hold their events, requiring the Coast Guard issue notices of enforcement for these changes each year. Updating these dates will eliminate the need to issue notices of enforcement as a regular occurance. Lastly, the table of safety zones in § 165.929 would be reformatted into four separate tables, organized by the State in which the safety zone occurs. Each safety zone would be listed chronologically and then alphabetically by city. This rulemaking will not substantially change the details of any event.
        As large numbers of spectator vessels and marine traffic are expected to congregate around the event locations or due to inherent risks involved in certain types of waterway activities, the regulated areas that would be listed in the table are needed to protect all waterway users. During the enforcement period of the regulated areas, persons and vessels would be prohibited from entering, transiting through, and remaining, anchoring, or mooring within the regulated area unless specifically authorized by the COTP or a designated representative. The Coast Guard may be assisted by other Federal, State, or local agencies in the enforcement of these regulated areas.
        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 13771 directs agencies to control regulatory costs through a budgeting process. 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 (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
        The Coast Guard has previously promulgated safety zones in § 165 for all event areas contained within this proposed regulation and has not received notice of any negative impact caused by the regulations. By consolidating these regulations into a single regulation and making the proposed formatting changes, the Coast Guard will improve the accuracy of this information, make the regulations easier to use, and reduce the administrative burden to manage multiple regulations.
        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 (Public Law 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 call or email the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. 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.
        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 call or email 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 Directive 023-01, Rev. 1, associated implementing instructions, and Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), 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 the consolidation and making formatting changes of existing safety zones. 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. 1. A preliminary Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this determination is 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 call or email 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

          Harbors, Marine safety, Navigation (water), Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, Security measures, Waterways.

        For the reasons discussed in the preamble, the Coast Guard is proposing to amend 33 CFR part 165 as follows:

          PART 165—REGULATED NAVIGATION AREAS AND LIMITED ACCESS AREAS

        1. The authority citation for part 165 continues to read as follows:

          Authority:

        2. Revise § 165.929 to read as follows:

          § 165.929
          Safety Zones; Annual Events Requiring Safety Zones in the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan Zone.
          (a) Regulations. The following regulations apply to the safety zones listed in Table 1 through Table 4 of this section.
          (1) The general regulations in § 165.23.
          (2) All vessels must obtain permission from the Captain of the Port (COTP) Lake Michigan or his or her designated representative to enter, move within, or exit a safety zone established in this section when the safety zone is enforced. Vessels and persons granted permission to enter one of the safety zones listed in this section must obey all lawful orders or directions of the COTP Lake Michigan or his or her designated representative. Upon being hailed by the U.S. Coast Guard by siren, radio, flashing light or other means, the operator of a vessel must proceed as directed.

          (3) The enforcement dates and times for each of the safety zones listed in Table 1 through Table 4 of this section are subject to change, but the duration of enforcement would remain the same, or nearly the same, as stated in Table 1 through Table 4 of this section. In the event of a change, the COTP Lake Michigan 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 officer designated by the COTP Lake Michigan 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 COTP Lake Michigan.
          (2) Public Vessel means a vessel that is owned, chartered, or operated by the United States, or by a State or political subdivision thereof.
          (3) Rain date refers to an alternate date and/or time in which the safety zone would be enforced in the event of inclement weather.
          (c) Suspension of enforcement. The COTP Lake Michigan may suspend enforcement of any of these zones earlier than listed in this section. Should the COTP Lake Michigan suspend any of these zones earlier than the listed duration in this section, he or she may make the public aware of this suspension by Broadcast Notice to Mariners and/or on-scene notice by his or her designated representative.
          (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 COTP Lake Michigan or his or her designated representative may waive any of the requirements of this section upon finding that operational conditions or other circumstances are such that application of this section is unnecessary or impractical for the purposes of safety or security.
