33 CFR Part 165
[COTP Miami 94-045]
RIN 2115-AA97
Safety Zone Regulations; Fort Lauderdale, FL
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.
ACTION: Temporary final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a safety zone at Port
Everglades, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This safety zone is needed to
protect the Whitbread Round the World Race participant vessels from
safety hazards associated with the spectator vessels operating in the
area of the Whitbread/Heineken Trophy Village at Port Everglades in
Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Entry into this zone is prohibited unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port, Miami, Florida, or his
designated representative.
FOR OTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: LT Robert G. Garrott, Port Operations
Department, USCG Marine Safety Office, 51 SW. First Avenue, Miami,
Florida 33130 (305) 536-5693.
EFFECTIVE DATES: This regulation becomes effective at 11:30 a.m.
Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), April 23, 1994 or upon arrival of the
first Whitbread Round the World Race participant vessel. It terminates
at 11:30 a.m. (EDT), May 21, 1994 or upon departure of the final
Whitbread Round the World Race participant vessel.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553, a notice of
proposed rulemaking was not published for this regulation and good
cause exists for making it effective in less than 30 days after Federal
Register publication.
Drafting Information
The drafters of this regulation are Lieutenant Robert G. Garrott,
Project Officer for the Captain of the Port, Miami, Florida, and
Lieutenant Jacqueline M. Losego, Project Attorney, Seventh Coast Guard
District Legal Office.
Discussion of Regulations
The event requiring this regulation to be established is the
presence of the Whitbread Round the World Race participant vessels at
the Whitbread/Heineken Trophy Village. The Trophy Village is located
within Port Everglades on the west side of the Atlantic Intercoastal
Waterway with its easternmost limits marked by NO WAKE signs. There are
significant risks associated with spectator vessels operating in close
proximity to the participant vessels. This regulation is issued
pursuant to 50 U.S.C. 191 as set out in the authority citation for all
of Part 165.
Federalism
This action has been analyzed in accordance with the principles and
criteria contained in Executive Order 12612, and it has been determined
that the rule making does not have sufficient Federalism implication to
warrant the preparation of a Federalism Assessment.
Environmental Assessment
The Coast Guard has considered the environmental impact of this
proposal consistent with Section 2.B.2.c of Commandant Instruction
M16475.1B and the establishment of safety zones has been determined to
be categorically excluded from further environmental documentation.
Regulatory Evaluation
This proposal is not a significant regulatory action under section
3(f) of Executive Order 12866 and does not require an assessment of
potential costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that order. It
has been exempted from review by the Office of Management and Budget
under that order. It is not significant under the regulatory policies
and procedures of the Department of Transportation (DOT) (44 FR 11040;
February 26, 1979). The Coast Guard expects the economic impact of this
proposal to be so minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation under
paragraph 10e of the regulatory policies and procedures of DOT is
unnecessary. The safety zone will only be in effect for such a small
area that it is not expected to have a significant impact on any
commercial navigation.
