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:
