33 CFR Part 100
[CGD 09-95-029]
Special Local Regulations; Great Lakes Annual Marine Events
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is revising its list of annual marine events
which occur within the Ninth Coast Guard District. Publication of this
list in part 100 of the Code of Federal Regulations will establish
permanent special local regulations for marine events within the Ninth
Coast Guard District which recur on an annual basis and which have been
determined by the District Commander to require the issuance of special
local regulations. This action is being taken to ensure the safety of
life, limb and property during each event, while avoiding the necessity
of publishing a separate temporary regulation each year for each event.
The list reflects the approximate dates and locations of each annual
marine event.
DATE: This rule is effective February 14, 1996.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Marine Science Technician Second Class Jeffrey M. Yunker, Ninth Coast
Guard District, Aids to Navigation Branch, 1240 East Ninth Street,
Cleveland, Ohio, 44199-2060, (216) 522-3990.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Drafting Information
The drafters of these regulations are Lieutenant Junior Grade Byron
D. Willeford, Project Officer, Ninth Coast Guard District, Aids to
Navigation Branch and Lieutenant Commander Michael Zack, Project
Attorney, Ninth Coast Guard District Legal Office.
Regulatory History
On November 1, 1995, the Coast Guard published a notice of proposed
rulemaking entitled Special Local Regulations; Great Lakes Annual
Marine Events in the Federal Register (60 FR 55511). The deadline for
the submission of comments was December 18, 1995. The Coast Guard
received no letters commenting on the proposal. A public hearing was
not requested and one was not held. The Commander Ninth Coast Guard
District has decided to publish the final rule as proposed.
Background and Purpose
This rulemaking updates an existing list of anticipated annual
events. Each year various public and private organizations sponsor
marine events on the navigable waters of the United States within the
Ninth Coast Guard District. These events include slow moving boat
parades, sailboat races, high speed hydroplane races, fireworks
displays, and other water related events. The listed events are held in
approximately the same location during the same general period of time
each year. Exact times and dates will be published in the Local Notice
to Mariners instead of being published in this final rule. This will
streamline the marine event process for those regattas
[[Page 5681]]
and marine events that have very little annual variation and will
significantly reduce the Coast Guard's administrative burden for
managing these type of events with no reduction in services to the
maritime community. The nature of each event is such that special local
regulations are deemed necessary to ensure the safety of life, limb,
and property on and adjacent to navigable waters during the events.
Group Commanders have consulted and will continue to consult with
parties potentially affected by any significant changes to the nature,
date, time, and location proposed by an event sponsor for any of the
events covered in this rule.
Table 1 gives the approximate dates, times, and locations for the
annual events listed. Each year, one or more Local Notice to Mariners
will be published giving the exact dates, times, and locations for the
annual events. It should be noted that Table 1 in the regulation is not
a complete list of all marine events that will occur in the Ninth Coast
Guard District. It does not include events which do not require special
local regulations for the safety of life, limb, and property on or
adjacent to navigable waters. It also does not include nonannual events
or events which have not been scheduled in time for this publication.
Federalism Implications
This action has been analyzed in accordance with the principles and
criteria contained in Executive Order 12612, and it has been determined
that the rulemaking does not have sufficient federalism implications to
warrant the preparation of a Federalism Assessment.
Environment
The Coast Guard is simply proposing to revise its list of annual
marine events. The listing itself will not affect the environment. Upon
receipt of applications, the Coast Guard will conduct an environmental
analysis for each event in accordance with section 2.B.2.c of Coast
Guard Commandant Instruction M16475.1B, and the Coast Guard Notice of
final agency procedures and policy for categorical exclusions found at
59 FR 38654 (July 29, 1994).
Economic Assessment and Certification
These regulations are not a significant regulatory action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 and do not require an assessment
of potential costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that order.
They have been exempted from review by the Office of Management and
Budget under that order. They are 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 these regulations to be so minimal that a full Regulatory
Evaluation under paragraph 10e of the regulatory policies and
procedures of the DOT is unnecessary.
Collection of Information
These regulations will impose no collection information
requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 100
Marine safety, Navigation (water), Reporting and recordkeeping
requirements, Waterways.
Final Regulations
In consideration of the foregoing, the Coast Guard is amending Part
100 of Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations, as follows:
1. The authority citation for Part 100 continues to read as
follows:
Authority: 33 U.S.C. 1233; 49 CFR 1.46 and 33 CFR 100.35.
2. Section 100.901 is amended by revising Table 1 to read as
follows:
